Notes and references
This might be personal opinion more than common application, but I think that the notes and references should be split up into separate sections (as opposed to be listed together). It makes the article a bit more difficult to get through when some of the superscript footnote tags (I don't know what to actually call them) lead to references, while others lead to additional comments. -- Kicking222 17:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you are right but I don't know how to split them. Furthermore, lumping notes and references together is a standard practice even with featured articles. See Radhanite, for instance. -- Ghirla -трёп-  18:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Some pictures would be cool if it is possible, but I found the article interesting, and deemed it good enough for GA. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 09:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

19 out of 20 non-Norse
I was expecting to see the graves described as non-Scandinavian. This is due to two reasons, one of which is related to Soviet archaeologist methodology and the other to a report from a person I know who has worked at the excavations. In Soviet, and probably modern Russian, archaeology, a grave is only categorized as Norse if *all* the finds are Norse. If a single object is Slavic, the grave is categorized as Slavic. The second reason is more upsetting. A Russian friend of mine used to work at excavations at Gnezdovo and, according to him, the head archaeologist insisted that before a grave was documented, he had to add a Slavic or Baltic object to the finds. I was perplexed as to why and it was not until I learned of Soviet/Russian methodology that I understood the reason why. Is it really NPOV to accept uncritically a "fact" established on methodology that is biassed and slanted to begin with? Berig (talk) 06:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
