Talk:Dubris

message: The section below implies that Dover was situated on the estuary of the River Stour. However, the estuary of the River Stour is several miles north at Pegwell Bay. Should this be changed to the River Dour which flows through Dover?
"As the river estuary of the River Stour, Kent (now silted up) and the closest point to France, in Roman times the town became an important harbour of the Classis Britannica, an important fortified trading and cross-channel port and a starting point of Watling Street."

message: I am proposing this since there is great deal of duplication of facts. History of Dover has been lifted from the Dover article, and a resumé of that substituted in the parent article. Even so, much can be done to bring the history into some reasonable condition Peter Shearan (talk) 06:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would contest that.  The topic can be dealt with in far more detail here, with a resumé on history of Dover.  Merged onto history of Dover, it would overwhelm the rest of Dover's history.  Other cities have separate pages for their Roman phase eg Durovernum Cantiacorum and Rutupiae.  As for the duplication of facts, I'm editing it for that at the moment.Neddyseagoon - talk 10:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a mistake about Roman Painted House and Dubris it is said in article that in 270 AD Dubris mansio was demolished and new Saxon Shore Fort was build. It is not correct. Mansio - Roman Painted House was build outside Classis Britannica in 200 AD and in 270 AD it was demolished during building of the new Shore Fort by Romans not Saxons. Take care

thread_title:  Prehistory section 

message: Due to the development of the Shires, then the High Cross, as well as the Stibbe site and others, Leicester is arguably the most-excavated Roman city that still has people living in it in Britain (obviously, it will never match Wroxeter or Silchester). The last excavations mentioned are in 1971. There's not even a map to show what areas have been excavated or where finds were located. I suggest anyone with an interest in Leicester's prehistoric or Roman archaeology starts collecting information here that can be used to improve the page.
Markaeologist (talk) 11:25, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Excavations since 1990 

message: The colloquial form of the name; 'Ratae/(Rete) Castrum' most probably had a vulgar pronunciation something akin to /lret͡se-sestru(n)/ giving the present form 'Leicester' . (cf. Fr/Pt le réseau/ a rede - network-hub/web/trap, En/Angl. gastro, 'restaurant'.)
- That is not sourcing your claim. Link to an online source that says that 1-Leicester was ever known as 'Ratae Castrum' and 2-Ratae Castrum was pronounced 'lret͡se-sestru(n)'. If you cannot then this is original research. I suggest you publish it in a peer-reviewed source of note (Transactions of the Leicester Archaeology and Historical Society, perhaps, or Antiquity, or Current Archaeology) and then when it has been published, we can put it in wiki which is an encyclopedia of agreed knowledge.

Wikipedia talk:The Last Word

message: I think this article is quite useful, as well as humorous.  We should consider expanding it or adding another on the 'firstword' tactic.  The firstword is inarguably superior to the last word.  Some editors start reading threads at the top, and then go to some tl:dr point point, never reaching the lastword, so the firstword matters more than the last.  Additionally, it is the firstword that frames the debate.  Everything else is just a reply.
If someone else already started a discussion that didn't highlight the points one wants made, this is not a problem.  Forking (starting a new conversation to supersede the old) is always an option, and a sure way to get firstword.  This works even better if one is verbose about it and accurately hits the tl:dr point.  If it is short enough so that it gets read but long enough so that nothing after it gets read, the firstword becomes the onlyword that matters.
Editors should be sure to do get firstword before crossposting to other forums.  This ensures that the crossposts will link to the correct discussion, not the wrong one.  That way the less-than-intrepid will follow links to the new fork, ignoring the previous, unfavorable  discussion.  The forker will appear to be the conversation-starter, consensus-builder, and peacemaker no matter how late he was to the game. BitterGrey (talk) 15:22, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

On the other hand, it might be possible to form a polymeric anhydride, but that wouldn't be an oxocarbon because the C-H bonds would remain (those hydrogens are not easily removed by dehydration). --Itub (talk) 20:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
