text: Yes, and apparently the article has been edited to reflect that. Ellsworth 19:36, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Claudius

message: As noted on the actual wiki on 'Bride Kidnapping' the Tribe of Benjamin among the nation of Israel engaged in kidnapping brides as recorded in the book of Judges, the 21st chapter.  This is referenced in great detail on the page about the 'Battle of Gibeah'.  Even if the 'Biblical Account' section on the latter page is correct in speculating that certain events were added by the 'deuteronomist' and if the eponymous article is correct about the historical setting of that scribe's writing, the account found in judges pre-dates the accounts of Romulus' and the Sabines by several centuries.

replies: text: Well that's interesting Kabbak. It sounds like a grand thesis. First you would have to demonstrate that bride-kidnapping was general in the Mediterranean and then you would have to find probable cause that Roman bride-kidnapping was related. I do not know if it has been done already; if not, you can't do it here, it is original research. If it has as I say you need to document it. It is a great idea though and I certainly encourage you along those lines. However, you think too much of us, kid.Dave (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

What is "the town" the Romans were trying to populate? Rome?

thread_title: Populating what town

message: Didn't we decide not to do this sort of thing? We can have a "Sabine" disambig page or we can distribute this material to other articles more relvant. This article is about the ancient Sabines and this material is not it. I'm not inclined to work on this aspect myself so I am putting this here so you may work on it.Dave (talk) 19:00, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

message: "Their language belonged to the Osco-Umbrian subgroup (formerly SabellicStrabo V, 250.) of Italic languages and contains some words shared with Oscan and Umbrian as well as with Latin."
Where did you get this nonsense? Not to mention the imaginary reference to Strabo. Think a moment. Is Strabo a modern linguist? Does he classify Italic languages? We don't need this approach, buddy, we are looking for valid, authoritative ideas contributed by the scholars. Blog somewhere else. Thanks.Dave (talk) 12:34, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
