Talk:Severians
Most parts of this article are definitely wrong (contradicting archaeology and other sources). I am even afraid that the Severans are largely a pure speculation. I hope someone can change the article correspondingly.
- Any more information on that? --Joy [shallot] 3 July 2005 17:22 (UTC)
[edit] Severians vs Siverians
- Irpen and AndreyK, can you discuss your arguments on the name before moving the article back and forth? abakharev 09:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- As the original name was Severians, then the move to Siverians should be based first. abakharev 09:30, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
It is explained at Talk:Severia. Also, because AndriyK often moves by cut'n'paste against policy (to circumvent consensus at WP:RM), the talk often doesn't get forwarded with an article and would be lost if I didn't revert. --Irpen 10:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, the explanation for Severia (and so Severians) by User:LuiKhuntek makes quite a lot of sence. I wonder what are the arguments for Siverians. abakharev 11:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
The main argument is that it is a Ukrainian name and some users whant to impose this into English. --Irpen 11:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Servia
This might be how the Romans called their settlements - Servia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.43.122 (talk) 15:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Iranian etymology?
Logically, what is the probability of an indo-european people aka white people to be called after or related in any shape or form to the word "black"? It doesn't make sense. Can somebody elaborate on this hypothesis because with the information given it is very confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.38.136 (talk) 10:30, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
