Talk:Vindolanda

message: I would like to add a section about the writing tablets. Apparently they were voted the most precious treasure in the British Museum and as such probably deserve a note here.
See . They are briefly referred to in the article but probably not enough.
Also i wondered about either adding more pictures or a link to where more pictures can be seen. Its visually quite an arresting site and i am not convinced this comes across in the article.

replies: text: Vindolanda tablets already have an article. A concise version of it, with a link, should be included here.--Wetman (talk) 19:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The link for "Vindolanda Trust" simply loops back to the main Vindolanda article. Not terribly useful. --Michael K SmithTalk  22:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You're absolutely correct, and "Vindolanda Trust" has been a redirect since 2007. When you find a link in an article that links back to where you started you may as well remove it immediately. Nev1 (talk) 18:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pointless link 

message: Hello! I would be interested in adding another section that would outline some of the recent media attention that Vindolanda has received in the past year (especially with the discovery of the new cache of ink tablets). What does everyone think?Ebaker22 (talk) 19:18, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The new discoveries should certainly be mentioned. Would it fit naturally into an existing section? If not go ahead and create one. Remember on wikipedia: be bold. Mramoeba (talk) 23:38, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

text: I have added a new section titled "Media attention" outlining some of the finds that have been highly publicized in national media. I also went through the article and added AD where appropriate for continuity in reading. Also did some minor paragraph formatting in "Fort and village" and added a sentence in the introductory paragraph outlining a rough occupation timeline. Ebaker22 (talk) 00:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

text: Aaaand it's gone. Working with the editor to hopefully add this section more appropriately! I'm new, so any feedback on how I could more successfully go about this would be much appreciated! Thanks! Ebaker22 (talk) 02:35, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I've reverted the text to the version prior to the edits on 12 December 2021 by new user , which were made here.  I don't have any comment on the content of the edits - I am not sufficiently well informed on the subject matter to judge (though I have visited the site and have some knowledge of it) - but the edits introduced a number of errors of grammar, spelling (for instance, using US spellings such as "jewelry"), and formatting (such as unconventional citation styles), and in some cases were unreferenced.  Further discussions should take place here.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
