2009 edition, right? + stuff

Hello, Cristian. Please let me know me if I got the edition right in my copyedits (it is a 2009 edition, isn't it?). The reason I'm asking is that, unless we mention at least the basic publication data for our sources, we risk making the refs irretrievable - for instance, the page number refs will most likely be obsolete if a book has/will go through another edition. I also took the liberty of adapting to Borsoka's existing citation format, for uniformity and consistency, and of correcting the errors that came here and there in your rendition of the text (not having the original text to translate, I assumed I got the intended meaning right, so please let me know if I made a mistake). Personally, I consider the large quote a bit overkill, since it's about a relatively minor detail in this detail, and since the reference at the end of the sentence would get the meaning through. In any case, it was burdening the text, as one of a select few blockquotes, so I decided to move it to the note. I hope this is right by you, but I'm open to any criticism. Regards, Dahn (talk) 09:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. I could find mentions of the 2009 edition, published by Cetatea de Scaun of Suceava, but none of a 2008 one. Could you perhaps revisit the copy you consulted and check the publisher, year, and (since it's the standard in that article) the ISBN as well? In another edition, the citation may be on an entirely different page, not to mention that the whole thing would be anomalous. Thanks. Dahn (talk) 12:06, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I presume that the Museum is the publisher, right? Incidentally, their English translation is quite dubious, so my advise would be to paraphrase it in other citations from the same edition (like the one in Goths). Thank you for clarifying that, and sorry for the inconvenience. Dahn (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, there we go: you had missed replying to one of the main issues of my post - who the publisher (publishing house) was. Your link indicates that it was, after all, Cetatea de Scaun, so the details in the ref as I added them were accurate, and the difference between years probably has to do with the fact that they published the online version before the paper one. So it's all clear now. But please remember checking up on such detail in the future: it makes a world of difference, because many times these details may be essential and hard to retrieve.

Merge question about proto-writing symbols of SE Europe

Cristian. Hey buddy! I thought you might be interested in the discussion going on about the possibility of merging two articles - the Symbols and proto-writing of the Cucuteni–Trypillian culture, and the Vinča symbols. The discussion is taking place here. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated on this. --Saukkomies ^talk 02:52, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Dacia

Hi, I saw that you collaborated on articles related to Dacia and thought this could be of interest: WikiProject Dacia is looking for supporters, editors and collaborators for creating and better organizing information in articles related to Dacia and the history of Daco-Getae. If interested, PLEASE provide your support on the proposal page. Thanks!!--Codrinb (talk) 03:16, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your support! I created the 1st draft of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dacia. I used Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome as an example since it is similar in purpose and scope, with a nice layout. Please feel free to provide any feedback. Looking forward to collaborate! And Happy Holidays!--Codrinb (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for joining WikiProject Dacia! Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or if there are certain areas where you have expertise and want to participate. The project pages, categories and templates are almost done and functional, although there is plenty of room for improvement. Looking forward to collaborate on great articles! --Codrin.B (talk) 20:04, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Limigantes = Antes?

Are Limigantes (redirects here) the same as Antes people? More specifically, are they really (or just only) Slavic-Iranian? The Free Dacians article says ... a serf-population called the Limigantes, who were probably an indigenous Dacian people (see the name of their ruler, Ziais, a Dacian name). This possibility should at least mentioned on the Antes page or the two should articles should be separated if the tribes are different.

Dacian Draco

Hey there! Long time, no talk. How are things? Not sure if you noticed, but we got a WP:DYK for Dacian Draco on April 7, 2011. It would be great to continue the trend and get it to WP:GOOD now! ;-) If you have time and willing, it would be great to get a neutral review on it. A great start would be checking it against the criteria for B-Class status and update the findings in the WP Dacia tag on Dacian Draco's talk page (b1 through b5 items). Alternatively, there are a few other articles under WP Dacia tasks for which we also need a review. Thanks a lot and best regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 20:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of castra in Romania

Hi! How are you? I am working on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dacia/Drafts/List of castra in Romania and though I should let you know if you want to contribute. I am very grateful to you that you uploaded so many pictures related to Romans and Dacians. Especially for castra, I found so many of your pictures in Commons and I am using them for corresponding item in the list. In case you have more pictures or information, I would love to get them as there is so much more needed. Thanks a lot and best regards. --Codrin.B (talk) 05:44, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sealtemplarsbarrech2.jpg needs authorship information.

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Sealtemplarsbarrech2.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|CristianChirita}} will produce an appropriate expansion,

or the {{own}} template..

Identifying the helmets Codrin.B (talk) 17:46, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cotofenesti helmet

Hey there Cristian. I'm sorry I took the pic back off that quickly - I didn't mean to be rude, and I think the helmet is a really great artefact. I know, quite a lot of later La Tène art has been found in Romania, and you see it a lot that Dacian artefacts are subsumed under a "La Tène" header. The reason why I would rather not include this helmet in the La Tène culture article is that it is not typical of La Tène art; it lacks the more plant-like motifs that would be expected in 4th c. BC La Tène art. The square "hair line" and the eyes actually struck me as a distinctly eastern feature. When was it found? And were there accompaning finds? I have only seen it online so far. Trigaranus (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My first reaction to the Peretu helmet was: boah, what a cool object! These Getan/Dacian helmets have style. Now as far as the La Tène-ness of helmet finds from Romania and neighbouring countries is concerned, the only one that is unequivocally listed as "Celtic" is the famous Ciumesti helmet, of which there is only a very bad, blurry picture on WP in the Celts in Transylvania article. It does not seem to have a lot of ornamentation besides the bird of prey on top of it, but at least its shape is typical of the Celtic "jockey-style" helmets. There are also hybrid forms, for example in the same article under the header "Other Celtic art objects" there is a drawing of a Dacian carnyx surrounded by two helmets. While both helmets seem largely "Dacian" in shape, the one on the right La Tène type ornaments. Trigaranus (talk) 09:10, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The picture of the Dacian's carnyx from article Celts in Transylvania is surrounded by two Dacian helmets as seen on the Trajan's Column, or at least helmets used by Dacians. Maybe there is a need for clarifying this aspect on that picture's description. The reason that image is there it is the striking resemblance that historians attribute it to the Celtic's carnyx. But, there are no better pictures of the Dacian trumpet, at least not-copyrighted Boldwin (talk) 16:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Boldwin, and sorry Cristian for not responding any sooner. I think Boldwin's point is very important, namely that those helmets were used by Dacians. The stylistic provenance does not say much about the culture, and nothing about the language group of its bearers. We must assume that expensive and comparatively prestigious pieces of armour such as helmets were more likely to travel than humble household pottery. A helmet made by a Celt could well have been worn by a member of the Dacian elite, and vice versa. However, there are some types considered "typically" Celtic, others typically Hellenic or Dacian. The two pictures you put on my talk page seem to be identified correctly. The one on the left is of a standard "jockey-cap" type, which was one of the most common if not the most common type of La Tène helmet, probably to its simplicity and, one must assume, relative affordability. The one on the right seems to derive from a common early Greek type, several examples of which have been found at Olympia (though the ledge above the forehead is a bit unusual: crests in Greek specimens were fixed between elevated ridges that did not have as deep an indentation as that one, for all I know). But as I am no specialist on Dacian helmets, I can't tell you how typical or not this is among Dacian finds. Trigaranus (talk) 16:45, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bracelets

I have a desperate call. Do you have any detail that would help to identify this bracelet? File:MNIR Dacian Bracelet 2011. Detail.JPG? Do you have any picture of the ring from Magura? [1] and [2] Thank you so muchBoldwin (talk) 16:32, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check, it will take a lot of time, right now I have no business in Alexandria, maybe a fellow wikipedian from Alexandria can help. Still it is to new the material, for the exemple the gepid artefacts from Potaissa are held by Turda Museum, still there are kept in storage due to the lack of space and funds. The same situation is for some cucuteni artefacts. For exaple Cucuteni museum from Piatra neamt is in a tour since 2010. Again i'll try to check, but the easiest way is to find someone from Alexandria.CristianChirita (talk) 11:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
