replies: text:  Very, very true! These intelligent users seem completely unaware of the ambiguous nature of "BP" if used without the due specifications! And moreover, someone inserting the "(c. 32,000–22,000 ya)" obviously was unaware of the dates given in the introduction. This is simply CRUELLY poor work!!! Find more dates in other wikis!!

replies: text: User:HJJHolm, that's a really old post you're replying to. I agree that a lot of editors don't understand and misuse BP and I correct them when I can. But I'm not sure what you mean "find more dates in other wikis", we should only use academic sources for articles such as this one. In almost all cases other 'wikis' aren't considered to meet our criteria for sources at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Doug Weller talk 12:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

text:  Moreover, what shall "old post" mean, if the dates are still ruelly unspecified. That remark does no help for anyone and thus innecessary.2A02:8108:9640:1A68:4DF8:A0AF:4F2D:BE71 (talk) 09:06, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

message: In August 2013, Romanian archaeologists found a 20,000-year-old Gravettian pendant at the Paleolithic site of Poiana Ciresului (English: 'Cherry Glade'), near Piatra Neamț, in eastern Romania.[1] The newly discovered objects will be included in the Paleolithic artifacts collection of the Târgoviște History Museum, in the new section of human evolution. The department will open at "Stelea" Galleries with the support of the Dâmboviţa County Council.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Centrum99 (talk • contribs) 20:47, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering the same thing yesterday. I took it out. We know a great deal about this culture (this article ought to be expanded), and that pendant is not exceptional (as far as I know). Nicolas Perrault (talk) 10:22, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is it really necessary to include information about some pendant from Romania into the main text? Isn't it some advertisement?

message: The current first paragraph under the "Diet" heading makes a comparison to the dietary and hunting traditions of the Neanderthals, specifically, that Neanderthals were incapable of migrating to follow herd animals. The provided citation is not adequate to support this claim nor should it be used as a citation to support much of anything else, given its brevity and lack of supporting evidence. 147.49.168.215 (talk) 20:09, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: While I could not access the source cited there, from my read of the sentence in question I'm inclined to agree with the IP editor's assessment. I don't think a good enough argument is presented there to support the statement re migration capability. Eric talk 02:58, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the problem, really, is that the citation is for a journalistic review of a book, rather than the actual book itself. It's entirely possible that the book actually contains great source material for the statement, but it's not in the source actually cited at all. 147.49.168.215 (talk) 14:17, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
