Original research edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 12:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

My citations were taken directly from the Wiktionary page about the etymology of "Éire", they're not "original research" by any stretch of the imagination. Pescavelho (talk) 12:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wiktionary is an open Wiki and as a result is not a reliable source. Canterbury Tail talk 13:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not using Wiktionary itself as a source, I'm citing the sources cited in that Wiktionary page, which are from reputable dictionaries (better than the current source used in Republic of Ireland, which cites a tourism website). I don't get what the issue is (actually I do, you saw that I made a sizeable edit and reflexively reverted it, under the admittedly noble intention of wanting to stop potential vandalism) but if you need more sources I can provide more sources, or better yet, taking it to the Talk page of the respective articles.
