Talk:Sword of Goujian

message: Please edit to further define, or link to a page that defines, first-level protection, or reword the sentence. It is difficult to understand what is meant by first-level, and how this would differ from second or third levels, if they exist. Is this in a museum context, or government security context?

thread_title:  First-level protected artifact 

message: I'm curious does anyone know if the pattern is external or internal, i.e. is it a purely decorative pattern etched to the finished weapon , or is it a result of plaiting together metal billets around a central core and Pattern welding them together?KTo288 21:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pattern 

message: So this is an ancient sword, discovered during the cultural revolution, made mostly of copper, that emerged untarnished in its wooden scabbard after 1000's of years in a waterlogged grave? Doesn't this sound a little implausible? This article really needs citations to independent scholarly research on this amazing artifact. Ϙ (talk) 08:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  11 years without a single verifying citation I think this page is political not informative in nature.
