It reads like a History Channel script. I could shoot a thousand holes in their dam theory alone. Never mind that there is no distribution system for the supposed water treatment system, nor any reason to have a settling pond to float big rocks with "pure" water instead of dirty, and you can ignore the fact that their timescales and labor estimates do not agree with any other source. One known fact I recall from my limited knowledge of Egyptology.

I don't have a strong enough command of English to consider translating it into English myself. I'm leaving this message because I'm also surprised by the article's importance ranking within the project. </p><p>Considering that Katherine Routledge led the first scientific expedition to Easter Island, she is, by definition, a pioneer. But more than that, her research serves as a foundation for the entire field of subsequent archaeological study—even to this day, due to the rediscovery of multiple documents since the 1970s.

I think this should be a low-barrier way to get started and I hope that folks will leave the session feeling that they have helped Wikipedia's readers and the ADS by making the resources easier to find. <a href="/wiki/User:Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)" title="User:Richard Nevell (WMUK)">Richard Nevell (WMUK)</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)" title="User talk:Richard Nevell (WMUK)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Archaeology#c-Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)-20241115182400-Event_on_19_November_with_the_Archaeology_Data_Service" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:24, 15 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)-20241115182400-Event_on_19_November_with_the_Archaeology_Data_Service"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)-20241115182400-Event_on_19_November_with_the_Archaeology_Data_Service"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Joe_Roe-20241121083800-Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)-20241115182400"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Richard_Nevell" title="User:Richard Nevell">Richard Nevell</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Richard_Nevell_(WMUK)" title="User:Richard Nevell (WMUK)">Richard Nevell (WMUK)</a>:</span> Sounds like a great event, unfortunately I couldn't make it but I'd love to if you do something similar again.

I have reverted those changes, and also removed the existing <a href="/wiki/Category:1250_establishments" title="Category:1250 establishments">Category:1250 establishments</a> and <a href="/wiki/Category:1550_disestablishments" title="Category:1550 disestablishments">Category:1550 disestablishments</a>. I understand that editors in good faith see dates in an article and want to brings categories into line with those dates, but that can be a problem if they do not understand that dates for archaeological sites are almost always approximate and often very broad estimates. I realize this is not one of the big problems in WP, but, as I said, it annoyed me, so I wanted to vent. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Donald_Albury" title="User talk:Donald Albury">Donald Albury</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Archaeology#c-Donald_Albury-20241123161700-Dating_archaeological_sites" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Donald_Albury-20241123161700-Dating_archaeological_sites"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Donald_Albury-20241123161700-Dating_archaeological_sites"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Donald_Albury-20241127005800-Dating_archaeological_sites"></span>Could somebody look at <a href="/wiki/Bottle_Creek_Indian_Mounds" title="Bottle Creek Indian Mounds">Bottle Creek Indian Mounds</a> and offer an opinion on the dates of establishment and disestablishment for the site? - <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Donald_Albury" title="User talk:Donald Albury">Donald Albury</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Archaeology#c-Donald_Albury-20241127005800-Dating_archaeological_sites" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:58, 27 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Donald_Albury-20241127005800-Dating_archaeological_sites"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Donald_Albury-20241127005800-Dating_archaeological_sites"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id=""Inscriptions_and_Herostones"_articles" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Inscriptions_and_Herostones"_articles-20241124045400"><span id=".22Inscriptions_and_Herostones.22_articles"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Inscriptions_and_Herostones"_articles-20241124045400"></span>"Inscriptions and Herostones" articles<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Inscriptions_and_Herostones"_articles-20241124045400"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Archaeology&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: "Inscriptions and Herostones" articles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tolozen-20241124045400-"Inscriptions_and_Herostones"_articles"></span>I've noticed a pattern of articles with titles ending in "Inscriptions and Herostones" or "Inscriptions & Herostones". I've copyedited and fixed bare URLs on a couple, but now that I've discovered just how many there are I believe some larger effort may need to be put towards them. They all follow a similar format. They need copyediting, often rely on one source. The articles should at least all follow the same naming convention, which I am dealing with now (shortening, lowercasing letters which should be, and splitting "hero stone" into to words). I didn't know where to ask because there's not one single talk page for such a group. Here's an example: <a href="/wiki/Gulakamale_(Bengaluru)_Inscriptions_and_Herostones" class="mw-redirect" title="Gulakamale (Bengaluru) Inscriptions and Herostones">Gulakamale (Bengaluru) Inscriptions and Herostones</a>.
