Talk:Wielbark culture

message: Can someone provide a source for the alternate name "Willenberg Culture"? All I could turn up was Wikipedia mirrors. Rmhermen 22:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Seeing that we have the usual dustup about the name of the article, let's do a quick check on Google Book Search.
*"Wielbark culture" 17 books
*"Willenberg culture" 1 book, which actually uses the expression Wielbark-Willenberg-culture
So, it seems that, looking at scholarly books provided by Google Book Search at least, the use of Wielbark culture is almost universal.  The article must reflect that, as this is English Wikipedia.Balcer 03:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, stick to commonly accepted English language usage.  There is a 17:1 ratio in favour of Wielbark Culture. Balcer 19:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I had removed the image shown here as a small thumb. User:Berig reintroduced it, with exactly the same non-informative caption, and a patronizing edit summary. Almost daily I am passing within sight of a very similar Scandinavian stone. The captian is ambiguous and does not tell the reader anything. First of all: where is this "bautasten"? The upload page on commons  only says that it comes from Swedish wikipedia, so most probably, it is a Swedish stone. Then it has no bearing on Wielbark at all. /Pieter Kuiper 19:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You could begin with informing yourself about the presence of Scandinavian burial traditions in the Wielbark culture. It would spare the rest of us a lot of time.--Berig 16:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I conclude that User:Berig is equally clueless to the coordinates of this stone as I am. /Pieter Kuiper 16:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong conclusion, Pieter Kuiper.--Berig 17:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this User:Berig's private phallic symbol that he is not at liberty to discuss, or what? Pieter Kuiper 17:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I am at full liberty to inform you of its location if you want to see the "phallic symbol" it, or even touch it, but I won't do that until you have shown that you have some basic knowledge of this culture and its burial traditions. It is unacceptable that you delete pictures of monuments from burial traditions that you have no prior knowledge of.--Berig 17:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *"The report of the original excavation was rediscovered in 2004." (Mis-shelved at the library?)
*"...variations of cobble cladding." (What is being clad? What kind of variation?)
*"names given by Pliny and Tacitus appear to be identical to *Gutaniz" (Isn't the reconstruction based in part on Latin Gutones? Circular.)
*"the three ships of Goths arriving at the Vistula" (Refering to a deleted quote? No three ships have been mentioned at this point.)
*"The latest tendency is to doubt...  and it has been established that... it appears... this theory...etc. (These locutions always need  citations so the reader knows who's "doubting" and who's "establishing")
*"recorded by Jordanes as well as H. Schedel, see link" (The link is gone.)
This degraded text bears the scars of contention. I can't fix it. --Wetman 01:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Jordanes I think we need a references for this bloke, a date beside his name and pages woulg also be good. I cant help ypu with the upper sections. Enlil Ninlil 05:23, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Jordanes was 6th century, I can put in a link to the relevant section. But this is a terrible article. It is crowded with unsourced maps. It is recounting a lot of "history", but it is not very informative of the archeology. It would be interesting to know when this "original excavation" took place - period 1939-1945? /Pieter Kuiper 06:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have quite a detailed map, derived form an orgininal work, tha maps of which show single sites of the early an later phases of the culture.

replies: text: Can you briefly indicate on the file comments section which works you based this map on? Knepflerle (talk) 14:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I just noticed this as well and have removed that map (as well as another, completely irrelevant, map) and replaced it with the simpler one which just shows the areas covered by various cultures.VolunteerMarek 05:31, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I really don't think this is known as "Willenberg-culture" in English. I can only find one reference to such a name on Google books:  and no references in a general google search, except for Wikipedia mirrors of one sort of another. Removing accordingly.radek (talk) 02:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Currently we are using things like genetics articles for archaeological authorities. This article looks like a good recent summary from an archaeological point of view. https://www.academia.edu/36853596/ Unlike the genetics articles it also cites older authorities so we can understand for ourselves a bit how the differences might be in the field.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 09:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
