Talk:Little Thetford flesh-hook

Categorisation
This article is now in both Category:Bronze Age Britain and Category:Bronze Age Europe. The article's creator, Senra, put it in "Europe"; I added "Britain", since it's a British artefact, and I removed "Europe" as overcategorisation per Categorization. However, Senra tells me that archaeologists classify this as a specifically European Bronze Age artefact; therefore, I've restored "Europe" per WP:IAR. Right now, "Britain" is serving to categorise this artefact by its location, while "Europe" is serving to categorise it by cultural affiliation. Please see the final section of Senra's talk page as of this edit for a more detailed discussion of why this categorisation is appropriate. Nyttend (talk) 17:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Artefact vs Artifact
The spelling of Artefact in this British English article is correct, according to American and British English spelling differences. Please respect WP:ENGVAR. In particular, Latin arte + factum; see also artefacto (Spanish),  artefacto (Portuguese), artefatto (Italian), and artefakt (German). For balance, in British English, J Dalrymple (1681)—Artifact, J Jamieson (1825)—Artifact, and not until S T Colleridge (1834)—Artefact. --Senra (talk) 20:59, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

"Stail"
The word "stail" is fairly obsure, at least in American English (it's not even in my spell-checker), so I've replaced it with "handle" for clarity. (But not in the direct OED quote, of course.) If a later editor disagrees, it would be good to at least keep "handle" in a parenthetical. Phasma Felis (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
