U 1003[edit]

Magnus Källström article http://fornvannen.se/pdf/2000talet/2008_233.pdf "En tidigare okänd österledsfarare från Rasbo: Till tolkningen av inskriften på Frötunastenen U 1003" (2009) notes recently identified drawing of U 1003 (before it was damaged) indicates it is a memorial to a man who died in Novgorod; needs someone who can accurately translate / summarize it and update this article.

G 134[edit]

The paragraph isn't balanced. It gives undue weight and detailed presentation of what is a minority point of view, namely Pritsak's. It states that the first mention of Wallachians is Choniates - this is interpretation, not fact. According to the mainstream interpretation G 134 itself is the first mention of Vlachs. Furthermore, the paragraph states that Blökkumannaland refers to Polovtsians although mainstream sources have linked it to the Balkan Vlachs since the 17th century translation of the Heimskringla onward.

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Ög 43 be merged into Varangian runestones. The content in the Ög 43 article seems too short to warrant a separate article to Varangian runestones. Also, note the articles current orphan status. The Varangian runestones article is of a reasonable size in which the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. LordVetinari (talk) 02:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree with the proposal since the text of Ög 43 does not provide any basis for linking it to any eastern voyages such as to Rus, which is essentially the basis for all Varangian runestones. The Ög 43 text does not even indicate that it is associated with any activity outside of Sweden. Deanlaw (talk) 04:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Ög 43 is no longer classified as an orphan as it has 3 valid links to it, so less of a reason to merge it (besides to it not being a Varangian runestone). Deanlaw (talk) 22:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deanlaws first point should put an end to this matter. The proposal is absurd.
