Talk:Carnac stones

message: "I would like to hear from people whether they consider this level of footnoting excessive"  No. Global spread of H5N1 has 125 sources cited. Sources good. Nonsourced content bad. But if you are worried about appearances you can put multiple sources in one single footnote at the end of a paragraph or section. (WAS 4.250) 4.250.177.133 14:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: excessive in some places and absent in others.  For example, I'd like to see even one footnote documenting that Egyptian royals were buried inside pyramids ( they were buried in square tombs in front of pyramids; perhaps there are one or two pyramid burials but I can find not a single academic source for that) 69.235.15.206 (talk) 18:17, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

message: WikiProject France Assessment
This article was listed on WikiProject France under articles needing assessment.  This article has been rated B-class because:
*It contains a sufficient amount of information for the reader to feel satisfied, further it is well sourced/cited.
*The article contains interesting images that help with the understanding of the topic--however, as noted above it could benefit from a map/aerial photo.
*I feel like the editing/style could be worked on a little--some of the subheading are only one/two sentences long and give the article a "cluttered" effect.
*There is still some unreferenced info, for example in the "Dolmen" section: "these dolmens are generally considered to have been tombs, constructed with several large stones supporting a "capstone", then buried under a mound of earth."
In general though, the article seems informative and was interesting to me. Good work.

thread_title:  The meaning of the word Carnac 

message: Hi, there is a new and compelling explanation of the Carnac alignments in a recent book called BEFORE THE DELUSION by Wm Gleeson.
The book is presented as a historical novel but it contains a lot of 'information' impressively researched and documented.
I don't know if you could call the proposal 'verifiable' but it is well documented and certainly worth considering

message: Is it possible the Carnac stone algnments have to do with wildfire prevention?  I have made a similar hypothesis on the Stonehenge Cursus, the Dorset Cursus and the like (see the talk page in the articles on the Stonehenge and the Dorset Cursus).  As far as I know there were no ditches and banks in the Carnac alignments.  Did the stone rows fulfill to a certain degree a similar function?
Have these hypothetical firebreaks in Carnac been gradually widened so to become more and more secure?
Are the Petit-Ménec alignments revealing in this respect?

message: am I missing something in the sources?  I can't find where the second half of your recently-added paragraph (beginning "The town's mayor, Olivier Lepick...") is supported by either the Le Monde or the Ouest-France article? I would consider at least the information about Lepick and the Olbetz quote to be covered by WP:MINREF, and thus cannot stay in the article without suitable referencing...
