thread_title:  The history of Sardinia rewritten 

message: There are some statements about the prehistory of Sardinia that have not been proven but are suppositions. Sometimes these suppositions are the consequence of writers, historians and archaeologists that would like to see the culture of Sardinia very much connected to Greek prehistory, the Shardana that were part of the Sea Peoples that invaded Egypt around 1200 and other. These are popularised theories not entirely based on facts.
We know that Greek and Roman writers idealised the past in function of their own civilization. We know that nineteenth century classicists described everything in terms of race and inferior and superior civilization. We also know that the history of peoples have been idealised in virtue of their present.
Even if the Sardinian culture is not connected to the Shardana, to the Euboians, but very much through contacts with Iberians, Etruscans, Cypriots,Phoenicians, Myceneans and North Africans, still the nuragic age testifies that there has been a strong cultural development which could have been as much external as internal in origin. That is as much as we know about the Sardinians of the first Millennium B.C. without having to refer to the written sources that often have been coloured by their authors.
I would plee for more cautiousness when asserting facts about the prehistory of Sardinia.10.0.0.8 16:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: NO, we don't know that ("... described everything in terms of race") - although racism may have been inherent in many historians, it certainly was not all, nor did they describe "everything" in such manner - there are problems with your other views, and you brought no RS's to discuss, just a POV. -HammerFilmFan  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.41.243 (talk) 00:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

message: In the section about the Prehistory of the island it is stated that "Human" artefacts have been found that were 150,000 and 250,000 years old, however I think this needs to be rewritten to clarity what exactly it means. If we are talking about things a quarter of a million years old then they really shouldn't be described as "Human", since Modern Humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) only came to Europe about 50,000 years ago. Anything "Human" from before then must be from another Hominid species (Perhaps Neanderthals?), this needs to be made clear in the article. The article should be trying to state when the first "real" Humans came to Sardinia and how they got there (i.e. was it a cut-off island then or were there land connections to the mainland, so walking or boats?). I'd fix it myself, but not knowing much about the subject I'm not really capable of rewriting it, I suggest someone who knows about this issue should fix it. --Hibernian (talk) 19:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "''Humans''" 250,000 years ago? 

message: "The repression by the fascist regime of its opponents within the region was ruthless. Antonio Gramsci, one of the founders of Italian Communist Party, was arrested and died in prison. The anarchist Michele Schirru was executed after a failed assassination plot against Benito Mussolini."
I recommend changing the wording here.  Ruthless implies a near irrational level of repression and crackdowns on the island, whereas the only examples given are the execution of an attempted assassin of the leader of the country (something commonplace all over the world) and the imprisonment of a fringe politician promoting insurrection (again, a common practice).  This doesn't frame the government's actions as ruthless, or perhaps even not as repression.

thread_title: Ruthless repression?

message: "like the Mauri of what was later called Barbagia, whose troublesome presence lasted probably for centuries."
this sentence is totally absurd, barbagia is a historical region inside sardinia, very isolated, and was called in that name by the roman orator Cicero (106 BC–43 BC) (barbagia = land of barbarians), because there found refuge the old sardinian civilization of nuragics (the last nuragic  settlements are found in this region,  the tiscali valley is an example), the vandals invaded sardinia about 500 years after Cicero died.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axe84 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
