hoax

(Unsure why "hoax" was added here. It says Wetman added it, but when I asked, he said he'd never seen the page) wiegee 05:29, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Doctorates

I've added "dr." in front of Anne Stine Ingstad. She was a Dr. Philos., University of Oslo, 1978, on the L'Anse aux Meadows excavations. In addition, both Anne Stine and Helge Ingstad held several honorary doctorates.

I'm also OK with dropping both "dr." titles. What's the custom on Wikipedia?

Would it not be an idea to put academic (and other) titles under a separate heading? Also, please sign your edits --Grumpy444grumpy 10:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I heard Helge Ingstad speak on several occasions and he always laughed when someone in the audience addressed him as "Dr. Ingstad," protesting that he had earned only a law degree, and that the only "Dr. Ingstad" in his home was his wife. When it came to academic archaeology, he thought of himself only as an experienced amateur. --Michael K. Smith 16:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just dating

Stine's page says discovery was 1960. So does L'Anse aux Meadows. Ingstad's says '61. Which is it? Trekphiler (talk) 08:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
