Talk:Piliakalnis

I'm not sure if there's need for this article, as Piliakalnis is simply Lithuanian for English hillfort. --Lysytalk 08:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Not sure either, created because didn't find hillfort at the time. Some part of it may be merged to main hillforth article, and pilaikalnis is rather a dictionary word.--Lokyz 11:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I see no reason not to have such article. It's sort of Hill forts in Lithuania. They are pretty important historically and culturally. Hold on to weekend when I will have time to work on it. Renata 11:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, let's postpone the discussion until later then. I only would like to point out that within the hill fort article there already are sections for individual countries, including Britain, France, India etc, so it might be appropriate to expand the Lithuanian section there instead of having articles named in the languages of the respective areas. --Lysytalk 14:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I would agree that it is probably preferable to expand the hill fort article and delete this one; at some point someone should add information on Latvian pilskalni, for instance, and having numerous articles on hill forts titled in native languages would mean replicating a lot of information -- if there is much to add about a particular site, then it would seem to make more sense to have a separate article on a specific site. If there is much to include on the differences between the hill forts of particular Baltic tribes, then that information would be more appropriate in articles about the tribes. It might make more sense to write a section on "Baltic" (rather than "Lithuanian") hill forts, as the Scandinavians have done. --Pēteris Cedriņš 18:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems logical that this article should be merged with [hill fort]]Encyclopaedia Editing Dude 11:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree with most comments, but agree with Renata. I think hill fort should be split, based on distinct geographies and time periods. It does not make sense to have a large article with sections that do not relate to each other. For example, nobody would be interested in both Lithuanian forts and Maori forts at the same time. The only slight area of overlap is that several Lithuanian forts of the medieval period appear to have been built on sites that date back to the Bronze or Iron Ages, and so connect them to the more general older European subject, but this could be handled with a See Also.
