Talk:Vascones

message: Relation to the Basques is (to say the least) controversial. Nope, apparently not very, it's just everything before them that is controversial.
There is one dialect of Gascon still alive in Spain today, Aranese, spoken in the Vall d'Aran. -- Jmabel 08:49, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: Strabo is the main source, I think. I've read him but also Pliny and confuse what belongs to each one. Plus all the secondary references...
Vascon is the Lat. singular for Vascones. But I strongly favor the move to Vascones, after all they are an ethnic group, hence a plurality, and also it is consistent with other related entries as Aquitani, Varduli, Caristii, Autrigones and Cantabri.
The information on Middle Ages Vasconia is now in Duchy of Vasconia. --Sugaar 11:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Some notes after the revamp

message: I suggest to move to Vascones, now a redirect page. 
Reasons: as ethnicity, they are a plurality and some have asked for that already above. The only name recorded is Vascones (and variants like Barscunes), whose obvious singular is Vascon.
Additionally all the other realted ancient tribes of the area, like Aquitani, Autrigones, Cantabrians, Caristii, Varduli are in the (historical) Latin plural form. 
Please discuss.
Support. Do it. Vascon is unknown in English and would not have been correct even in Latin (the singular there would have been Vasco). In any case, Wikipedia uses plurals for peoples. Andrew Dalby 19:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi Metroxed, I see you are undertaking a series of translations from the Spanish wikipedia. I would like to point out that such a decision can´t be made out of the blue and should be done with respect to other contributors, since these articles belong to no one. You might as well develop from current versions or refute the statements given if you think there is a reason for it. I saw your edits in several articles, and I decided to add a few details in the Varduli, but there was good content before in the current Vascones article, so you may enrich it but definitely NOT OVERWRITE it. I went through it and besides finding quite a lot of English writing mistakes, the article is inaccurate quite a lot of times (a translation from the Spanish Wiki doesn´t mean it´s better), is not enlightening more than it was before and I have not time to correct other editors serial inaccuracies, especially if they are not done with a collaborative spirit.

message: Re the territory of the Vascones, I was just wondering what part of the Clarify tag needs be clarifying. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 19:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

text: What??? Rude? That's funny! Ok I think I see more clearly now what is happening, I will not bite it. Still I wait for a content based argument for the sake of the WP. Iñaki LL (talk) 21:46, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
