On the trail of the cists

While I'm quite recent in Wikipedia, my intend was not to be promotional. I'm not the webmaster or the organizer of this game, I'm only a player.

If you look on the Geocaching page, you will see a very similar (but longer ;-)) page. Which is there for years AFAIK.

Anyway, if you still believe it is too promotional (and indeed I want somehow to promote the activity because it is fun, but again my intend is not to be commercially promotional), please let me know how to reduce the promotional content.

regards

So what? Nearly one month after my first comment about the fact that the edit I made were not commercial, I've seen no reply ;-)

Looks like, I could remove the warning

Although related by name, the game is a totally different subject to that of this article. I therefore split it off into a separate article: On the trail of the cists. --David Edgar 08:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cist = kist = Chest = box, archaic, but nothing special

I know it as old scots, now, but it was still very much in common use in my father's (and his father's) time, 50-150 years ago, and he would have spelt it with a 'k'. I'm pretty sure you would have found this pronunciation of the idea of 'a chest' in places all over the British Isles a couple of hundred years ago and more, at least wherever they spoke some variety of english or scots (not welsh or cornish or gaelic). Asked by archaeologists what they called a stone-slab box where people were buried, the locals would have said 'a kist', meaning, simply, a box, or a coffin. Similar structures in my local churchyard are still called 'kists'. We had a large wooden chest in the house when I was a kid, which held all the items of family historic value - such as the huge leather-bound bible with birth dates etc going back a few generations - and known only as 'The Kist'. There's nothing special about this word. This is the result of incomer archaeologists making specialised language out of common local terms, thinking the word refers to the particular thing under study only, purely because they've never heard it before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.41.211 (talk) 03:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutly celtic language

In the Welsh language (whose origins, like Cornish, are from the ancient British or Brythonic language line), cist is also used for such ancient graves, but in modern use, can also mean a chest, a coffer, a box,[7] or even the boot / trunk of a car.[8]

very stupid, that is anglo-saxon from germanic "Kiste", not Brythonic or ancient british — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.159.60.43 (talk) 23:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
