[edit] Minyan and Minyan ware

Thanks for the correction on the relationship and the additional footnotes on this.--Doug ^talk 12:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Addition

Just so everyone knows, I created the "Archaeological evidence" section. I believe that the sourced content is relevant to the topic. If anyone has any logical objections, then please discuss them here and not on my discussion page. The purpose of my edits is to provide an archaeological dimension to the article (aside from the mention of "Minyan ware" in the introduction). Take care. Elysonius (talk) 01:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I added another reference to the "Archaeological evidence" section. The reference is Caskey's article entitled The Early Helladic Period in the Argolid. I thought it would be helpful to provide this source in order to enhance the accuracy, verifiability, and reliability of the section's content. Elysonius (talk) 01:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The undigested text in the added footnotes needs to be summarised in the text, in the usual way. Wikipedia ordinarily reports the most recent mainstream consensus. --Wetman (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be better to leave the current summary as it is now and preserve the "undigested text" in the references section for verifiability purposes. However, if you want to transfer the direct reference quotes from the "References" section to the "Archaeological evidence" section, then go for it. Overall, the reference citations should remain intact since they do adhere to WP:RS. Take it easy friend. Elysonius (talk) 20:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

The undigested text in the added footnotes needs to be summarised in the text, in the usual way. Wikipedia ordinarily reports the most recent mainstream consensus. Just the way it's done. --Wetman (talk) 06:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Wetman, I think you may need to elaborate on exactly what you want Elysonius to do. The way I see it, Elysonius is not trying to circumvent Wikipedia policy. Moreover, I think the summary in the "Archaeological evidence" section is fine (of course, it may need some tweaking here and there). However, the section does adequately reflect the references provided for it. Keep in mind Wetman that Elysonius's reporting of Caskey's discoveries is very helpful and provides an interesting historical perspective on the material culture left behind by the "Minyans".
