Vinkovci Treasure[edit]

The Vinkovci Treasure shortly after its discovery on 23 March 2012

  • ... that the Vinkovci Treasure (pictured), consisting of 48 items of 4th century Roman silverware found in March 2012, has been called one of Croatia's most important archaeological finds?

  • New enough and long enough. QPQ done. Both images have acceptable copyrights. Article is fully supported by inline sources. Hook is supported by inline citations which support text. no concerns with that.
  • "If so, it would be a very rare subject for a late Roman silver plate" Says who? This doesn't seem very neutral. Maybe explain who says that to make it seem less like a GOTCHA! ISN'T THIS COOL?
  • this is probably not a huge problem but "then subsequently transferred under armed guard to the mimara museum in zagreb where they" and "then transported under armed guard to the mimara museum in zagreb where it". Can some of this text be reworked?
  • Croatian sources not plagiarised and support the text. --LauraHale (talk) 10:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Make that one statement more forceful and rework that problem sentence. --LauraHale (talk) 10:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

I think this is now resolved - the statement has been moved out of the article, and the problem sentence has been reworded. Prioryman (talk) 17:07, 8 July 2012 (UTC)


Review of edits and things appear to be resolved enough. Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
