Who are these 'British loyalists' who claim to dispute the dating of the Gosek Circle? Googling "Goseck circle" produces no results at all. A reference would be appreciated. Fondest wishes adamsan 08:01, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

As no response from the author is forthcoming, I shall remove the unsubstantiated (and rather eccentric) assertions in the article. adamsan 19:18, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

--- Someone with an account should upload the picture http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Goseck-2.jpg from the german wikipedia (public domain). The yellow lines show the the direction of sun rise and set at the winter solstice. The vertical line shows the astronomical meridian.

Done as requested. Nagelfar 08:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

--- Removing this paragraph: The press dubbed Goseck "the German Stonehenge," stating that it "precedes the final stage of Stonehenge by three millennia": "Discovery of the German Stonehenge proves that the Germans were at least as advanced as the British in the Stone Age" [1]. Irrelevant comparison, and ridiculous comparison. And a useless bit of info about press and nationalism. --Dumbo1 01:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

"although many British enthusiasts refuse the use of the term henge for anything outside Britain. (See henge.)" : The term of 'henge' should be explained in archaeological terms (archaeologically, is Goseck a 'henge'? Or not?) and POV removed.--89.49.33.72 17:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the bit about British enthusiasts, as it is obsolete and the current definition doesn't say only in Britain, but does still call for a bank. I've also removed the bit about the Nebra disk as that is what, 3500 years younger than the Gosseck Circle? I'm still worried about the calendar stuff, looks like speculation,Doug Weller (talk) 10:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
