Symbolism[edit]

"it involves symbolism not seen in Wessex". This is unnecessarily mysterious. What symbolism?
"It parallels the early Rongères bowl, drawing itself from Central European sources although found in eastern France, but also with the lenticular boss found on the Migdale 'spacer-plate' and the Melfort, Argyll bronze armlets." These objects are not as familiar as the Mona Lisa. "Parallels" is too general to convey information.

(The footnotes aren't working: the easiest system to use is <ref></ref>.) --Wetman (talk) 20:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Interesting article but I wonder if it could be more extensively wikified. Also, following Wetman's comments, the refs could do with some work (i.e. use inline citations) else it's hard to establish what (if anything) is Original Research. Dick G (talk) 03:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copy vio issues[edit]

The article is ripping off parts of the British Museum's article on the cape; rewrite is needed in affected sections. Zidel333 (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Had a go at sorting. What do you think ?81.129.129.124 (talk) 16:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OR[edit]

I've removed the OR tag as all the claims in the disputed sections are all in Clarke et al. or Taylor. I've provided citations. I haven't got access to the other sources quoted but will see if I can get hold of them. I've had a go at rewriting the bits Wetman didn't like for clarity but have probably failed miserably !!!81.129.129.124 (talk) 16:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC) PS not sure if I've done the refs right. I copied what was already there. Can someone check?81.129.129.124 (talk) 16:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh?[edit]

@Titus Gold How can a cape made in 1900–1600 BC be Welsh given that Wales did not exist until 1057 AD? Firebrace (talk) 21:19, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh as in found in Wales, in geographical terms. Titus Gold (talk) 23:26, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
