Wiki as Source

[edit]

Having Susning.nu as a source is not really a good idea, since it's a wiki, just as Wikipedia. The information given there could have been written by anyone (now you have to be registered at Susning.nu to edit articles, but this was not always the case, and so many articles have unknown authors), and the article in question does not state its sources at all. - Gustav —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.255.200.42 (talk) 17:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sundial

[edit]

It is clearly a sundial (=solar clock). Solar clock are built this way. I do not have any source about those scandinavian "stone ships". Anyway, I can be dead sure they're just sundials: just look at Sundial. Please someone help me showing it is a sundial... I cannot find evidences of researches about this topic. --MarcelloPapirio (talk) 17:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pesky as they may be for half-baked personal diatribes and general Bob G. Lind-esque personal illumination/nuttery, Wikipedia is just not out to show those know-it-all scholars that their so-called "stone ships" are in fact Bronze Age egg timers, as much as you and I know the truth (Wikipedia:No original research). :bloodofox: (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
