Talk:Yaroslav the Wise

Grave

The grammar is atrocious, I'm sure I'm not the only one who found it impossible to comprehend.

Concur. It now reads: "As been known except own dust of prince in 1939 there were displayed the remains of unknown woman without head and the man’s skull, which possibly belonged to the famous ruler’s son. This time in the tomb, that had been uncovered at court, medical experts and anthropologists presence, there was nothing but a chest with prince ashes. Skeletons that mentioned in a record of 1939 disappeared.[6]" It was not written by a native speaker of English, and I don't know what they're trying to say. 71.171.89.90 (talk) 14:50, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I think it means something along the line of; 'In 1939, aside from the ashes of the Prince, were the remains of an unknown headless woman and a man's skull, possibly that of the famous ruler's son. When the tomb was reopened in court, in the presence of medical experts and anthropologists, all that remained was a chest with the Prince's ashes; the skeletons measured in a record from 1939 had disappeared.

Tomb image

I have readded this image as it is quite obvious that the tomb of the subject of the article is relevant, if anything the other images are less relevant. Arniep 15:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Missing from the Main Article

Please add the following; "Jaroslavl (Iaroslavl / Yaroslavl) I, the Wise", was also known as "The King of Austrveg" = King of the Eastway.

Beard of Yaroslav

It's strongly recommended to read some Kievan Rus sources and to find that wearing a beard was a normal practice in that period. No matter what Ukranian nationalists and other people who are not friendly with history think about it.--91.76.142.167 22:57, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Varangians

My encyclopaedia says that the mercenary Varangians had the decisive role in the victory over Svatopelk--Revery (talk) 16:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Yaroslav I the Wise → Yaroslav the Wise — More common name. Weird to have both nickname and regnal number.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 21:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

• Support. per nom. —dsergienko (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
• I almost moved this, but we have a dab at Yaroslav the Wise. Agreed that we should either have the formal name or the nickname, not both, but I'm not sure which. Whichever name we choose should be in the lead; I tried to improve it, but am not sure I got it right. — kwami (talk) 00:12, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
• Support. Yaroslav the Wise appears to be the common name (going by a gbooks search) and this article also appears to be the primary topic. Jenks24 (talk) 02:52, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
• Comment. It's not weird at all to have both a nickname and a regnal number. In fact it's common practice when referring to monarchs with a nickname. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment Few if any people ever use the nickname and regnal number at the same time. Nobody says "Yaroslav the First the Wise" and no one says William the First the Conqueror.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 20:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose as per previous entry - not weird at all and covers name fully. SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
• Support. per nom. GreyHood ^Talk 19:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
• Support but the present form complies with the standard WP system of nomenclature. It should therefore be retained as a redirect. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
