Talk:Fuller Brooch

Where does this come from? (Nothing links to it, I mean.) Adam Bishop 23:25, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

After thinking about it for a few weeks, I have decided to revert Quinoaeater's edit changing animal to mammal. I understand the difference, and do not think "mammal" is the appropriate word. The animals on the fuller brooch are so stylized as to make their type uncertain. At least one of them appears to a winged quadruped. (The on at approximately the one o'clock position on the brooch). Although I have copies of the image, I am uncertain of their copyright status and can not upload them here. However, an image of the Fuller Brooch, or a replica, can be seen here.

Fuller brooch → Fuller Brooch —
 * Proper name - per British Museum & all sources. Can't move over redirect. Johnbod (talk) 00:28, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Obviously, as a proper name, but it needs an admin. Johnbod (talk) 15:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Oppose  Uhhh, I don't think this is a case of proper name, rather I think its a common noun (the word brooch that is). This is clearly seen by the fact that there is no shortage of google book search results that use brooch in lowercase. 01:19, 21 March 2010 User:Labattblueboy
 * In what sense would it be a common noun? There is no type of "Fuller brooch" there is just the one, and it is always known by this name. Obviously, the BM use the capital as do at least as many of the ghits, including a preponerance of the more recent ones. When in doubt we should follow the owning institution.

 * Change to Neutral. The article is severely lacking in terms of citation and references. I really don't see citing the British Museum website as sufficient. Nevertheless, I am not going to oppose the move because the standard for archaeological items is capitalize (as in done for chalices). --Labattblueboy (talk) 03:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Just picked out The Making of England, The Golden Age of Anglo-Saxon Art and the Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Anglo-Saxon England to see what they make of it, and all three happen to agree on "Fuller Brooch", with a capital (like the Alfred Jewel). Cavila (talk) 12:00, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
