The References section here seems a bit excessive, to say the least. It takes up literally half the page. TiffyWiki ( talk) 22:43, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Aids to pronunciation would help the reader in the English Wikipedia. -- Wetman 00:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
The history of the Sí got muddled slightly in the middle ages, and it became part of the lore that they were among the angels exciled from heaven for siding with the devil himself and/or not picking a side. I'm reluctant to add this information as although I have a source for it, I have been unable to locate the full text and I'd much prefere a read through before editing the article, its TUATHA DE AS FALLEN ANGELS published way back in 1932, its also explains why the Sí have white blood, I really want to help spruce up theses Irish folklore articles a bit. -- Meirleach 00:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Dáithí Ó hÓgáin, the associate professor of folklore at Dublin's university college, notes the same in his The Lord Of Ireland: An Encylopaedia of Myth, Legend and Romance. I believe the article "TUATHA DE AS FALLEN ANGELS" was by someone named Ó Raithbheartaigh, but I'm not clear on that. Anyhow, I would added the info. SeanAisteach 02:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
The short sentence "The word 'sídhe' is also Gaelic for wind." was removed with the comment "undo, relevance??" (See Revision history of Aos Sí) It followed the more common usages of the word. To be complete I think all means of the word should be presented in Wikipedia just as all means of a word belong in the Wiktionary.
An appeal to authority is never a valid form of argument, but the reference citation was to Yeats, without whom I wonder how many Irish words or old ways would be in Wikipedia at all? Cathbhadh III (TALK) 16:52, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

The current section "Types" seems strange to me. Why begin the section as a list of varieties of Aos Sí, only to abandon it after two and confine the rest to a list of links to other articles, among which banshee can be found? I might edit this later on in the week if no one else gets to it. ViolaCola ( talk) 22:55, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
I am proposing that Daoine maithe be merged to Aos Sí. From the information on both articles, it seems like these are just two different terms for the same group of supernatural creatures. Even the "Types" listed on each article appear to be largely the same. Looking up some information also seems to support the idea that "Daoine maithe" is just one of the many euphemisms used to talk about the "fairies" in Irish folklore. If this is correct, then it does not really make sense to have an entirely separate article just to describe another term for the same topic, and the information and sources from Daoine maithe that are not already present here should be merged into the main article.

Surely a reference to the 'Aesir' - the pantheon of Gods in Norse mythology should be added? Can't be a coincidence that the names are so similar 80.189.108.251 ( talk) 23:30, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
