Talk:Prehistoric Iberia/Archive 1

message: ::The following was moved from "Talk:Pre-Roman Portugal" and "Talk:Prehistoric Portugal" (identical posts).
This article is a partial copy of Timeline of Portuguese history (Pre-Roman). It urgently needs proper text. This kind of article is bad within a concept of a free encyclopedia as both articles will develop independently. Please help turning the chronology into a normal article. Thanks.

The Iberians arrived in Spain sometime in the third millennium B.C. Source? AFAIK there is only one moment when the diffuse conglomerate called Iberians could have been formed: in the Neolithic migration (and hybridation with locals). That was in the 5th milennium. In any case, we can't fully talk of Iberians with precision before they developed written language (in the 1st mielnnium BCE). 
The Celts of Europe entered Spain through two separate migrations in the ninth and seventh centuries B.C.. That's plain wrong. Celts entered c. 1300 BCE with the Urnfields migration. They remained connected to continental Europe till c.600 BCE when the NE seems to have been re-Iberized. C. 700 they migrated westwards into the plateau and the Atlantic coasts. 
If I get no replies and I have some time, I'll make a whole review of the article some time in the future. --Sugaar 08:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Some questions

message: What's the status and outcome of this discussion. I began being against the proposed merge, but know I'm for it. Does anyone want a vote? The Ogre 17:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "What's the status and outcome ...?" good question, The Ogre.  I thought I'd addressed Bkwillwm's concerns decently.  I'd been waiting for his reply but it's been three weeks. Discussion seems to be pretty slow on this question: are people just not interested?  The discussion that has gone one shows a majority in favour of the proposal (including you & me) but I don't think that putting it to a vote would be a bad idea. Jimp 20:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: So?

message: The following is a survey of opinions as to whether or not users support the proposed merger of Prehistoric Spain, Prehistoric Portugal and Pre-Roman Portugal.  Please indicate your position below preferably with a breif explanation (or a more detailed explanation in another section).  
This I hope to be a rather black & white vote.  I have left room for shades of grey though do leave your brilliant hues outside this box.  Please discuss such issues as how and under what title(s) to reorganise the material if merged in a new section after this poll.
I would hope to have this survey wrapped up by the end of next month, however, we must keep in mind that Wikipedia runs on consensus rather than majority vote ... or at least that's the theory. Jimp 08:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd written that I would have hoped the poll to be wrapped up by the end of the month.  Half-way through the month and I find that the merge had already been started.  So I finished it off.  I've closed the poll early because of this.  Jimp 05:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
