Change British to Irish nationality. He was born in Belfast pre-partition, and was extremely clear of his Irish identity. 91.125.2.180 (talk) 22:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not say "Irish and British"?. He was Irish and British, and under the current Good Friday agreement, someone can legally identify as both or either. 46.226.190.155 (talk) 08:37, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

InternetArchiveBot – can someone please report a false positive?

[edit]

As we've all seen who have this page on our watchlists, InternetArchiveBot keeps falsely tagging the link to Lewis's Encyclopedia of Fantasy entry as a dead link. I've tried to report it as a false positive but it seems I don't have the requisite permissions. Can someone who has, please do this for us? —VeryRarelyStable 07:10, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reported this (probably in the wrong place) last year, and the reponse was pretty dismissive, so I just resigned myself to undoing the bot whenever necessary. At least it seems to have stopped doing the same thing on Tolkien's page. Deor (talk) 12:26, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Irish nationality

[edit]

Has it yet been mentioned that Lewis was in fact , Irish? The article has some misleading statements regarding him as british.

Thanks for the soon to come changes and all the work yall do! 2600:1004:B106:FE:F8D2:419B:9059:8866 (talk) 16:59, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. read up 3 paragraphs. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Worship ... men of faith

[edit]

Lewis did not come to worship men of faith rather honour them. Worship is reserved for God alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.91.129.179 (talk) 13:12, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are reading it wrong. In the "Return to Christianity" section it says "He later came to consider himself honoured by worshipping with men of faith who came in shabby clothes and work boots and who sang all the verses to all the hymns."
