Talk:History of the Basques

message: Even if just split from another lenghty article (Basque people), this article is alread at the very limit of its recomended size (33 KBs, max. recommended is 32 KBs). We should calmsly start pondering splitting some sections to sub-articles. I suggest to follow the template and/or discuss the general  structure of Basque history in en.Wikipedia inside the Basque Wikiproject - that exists for such purposes. --Sugaar 03:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just found that there's a separate article on Origin of the Basques. Therefore there's no need for that section to be so lenghty here. Someone, please, cut all the superfluous materials. --Sugaar 05:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What sources did this article use for the Basque sailors section? Particularly the references to Basque whaling in 670 and Basque whalers in Iceland in 1412? Jonas Poole 18:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: A map shouldn't take up more than about half of the in-article column space.  Maps add greatly to the pleasant appearance of the articles. Wjhonson (talk) 22:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi there, I do not see how this section could fit in the History of the Basques not more than a couple of lines, mainly linked to the ordeal undergone by the Basques fleeing the Spanish Civil War, the support found by the Germans in some pro-Vichy Basques personalities, and the support provided by others to the refugees and the allies, remember, this is about the Basques/Basque people. The article is too pumped up by now, why not create a new article? Iñaki LL (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: German occupation in the Basque Country

message: The section labeled with:
"The following alternative theories about the prehistoric origins of the Basques have all had adherents at some time but are rejected by many scholars and do not represent the consensus view:"
Contains the following bullet-point:
"Basques as Neolithic settlers: According to this theory, a precursor of the Basque language might have arrived about 6,000 years ago with the advance of agriculture. The only archaeological evidence that could partly support this hypothesis would be that for the Ebro valley area."
Despite that multiple articles on the Basque, including this one in the following section ("New Genetic Evidence in 2015" or some such name) support the idea that they're at least partially descended from Neolithic settlers.
Shouldn't this be cleaned up? I think it should be made clear that the theory that they are descended from Neolithic settlers is unconfirmed but that it's not rejected either.

replies: text: I am not Anund Graenhjalm, whom you seem to revert systematically on a minor conflict. But I can hardly describe his interventions in the article as alteration of sourced statements. The statement you reintroduce is supposed to be "sourced" by a thousand year old manuscript, that is a primary source, written in Latin ; that is called a primary source and should not be used, except maybe as a complement to a secundary source. (Additionally, the given web link is dead). Moreover (I have not checked this assertion by Anund Graenhjalm, but it seems pretty likely) this primary source uses the latin expressions  'Pamplionensium regum' and 'Regibus Pampilonensibus', whose English translation hardly seems to be "Basque kingdom".
