Title inappropriate[edit]

The title of this article is inapropriate. Armenians didn't exist at the time the show was made, and the title is not used by secondary sources. The name is not a natural search term. I suggest Areni-1 shoe. Abductive (reasoning) 20:34, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We don't know whether Armenians existed then or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.179.29 (talk) 12:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've considered Areni-1 shoe as well, but I think it's an even more unnatural search term than Armenian shoe. --Davo88 (talk) 03:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian shoe would remain as a redirect. Abductive (reasoning) 05:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think the title "Armenian shoe" is a bit odd - it suggests that there's only this one shoe in the entire country. I've moved the article to Areni-1 shoe, since the artefact is probably associated more with the location than with the whole country (compare Neanderthal). Sandstein 20:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Areni-1 shoe is indeed more specific to the cave where it was found. Thanks for making the move. It is also good to see that the Areni-1 shoe was mentioned on Wikipedia's main page in the news. :)--Davo88 (talk) 22:22, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Innapropriate news headline[edit]

This is currently 'in the news' on the main page, here it states that it was 'discovered' recently. In actual fact it was fiscovered two years ago, the reports were just published recently. This is a little misleading.

Actually, here, the article points out that it was discovered in 2008 and not with the report's publication. --Davo88 (talk) 12:36, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

right or left[edit]

Now, is it a right or left shoe? Looks right to me... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.239.126.100 (talk) 15:32, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think its newsworthy until they find the match. Really.. You found one shoe? Pfft, I can do that. Its making sure you have both and your car keys before heading out the door to work that should be newsworthy. I'd like to see prehistoric humans do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.27.125.84 (talk) 01:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
