Phoulkon
- ... that the Phoulkon, was a shield-wall infantry formation of the late and eastern Roman Empire, and the term may have originated from the Germanic languages?

New enough, long enough. Must AGF on the citations; the hook matches citation 4 which discusses the possible Germanic etymology of the terms. Fewer than five DYKs; no QPQ needed. This should be good, even if it feels a touch bare. Raymie (t • c) 03:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the last hook fact, may have originated from the Germanic soldiers serving in the military?
in the article. I see something about the word having a Germanic origin. The last sentence under Etymology may be supporting the hook fact, but it lacks an inline cite. Citation 4 does talk more about the Germanic military connection, so more could be added to the article to flesh it out. Yoninah (talk) 01:11, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on fleshing the article out just a bit more, and I also rephrased the hook to make it clear that the possible Germanic connection is a linguistic one.
