Talk:Streoneshalh

I'm putting some suggestions here that I hope will make this article more likely to be acceptable. I think there is good information here and it should probably be kept, but the corrent format is letting the article down.


 * 1) The article needs to be given context. The average reader will not know what the word means, so it should be explained before starting on an explanation of its origin.
 * 2) We need to be sure that this article reflects the current mainstream thinking about the word, not a new or minority opinion.
 * 3) Question and answer (Who was Streona?) is probably not appropriate for an encyclopedia.
 * 4) Instead of giving a detailed historical context, only give absolutely necessary background and a separate article created with information about e.g. Viking invasions, with a link to it. It may be that this information already exists in another article. This article should focus very tightly on the word being discussed.
 * 5) More links would really improve the article.

Thanks, and happy editing. DJ Clayworth 20:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm pulling out my red pen because the promised cleanup has never materialized after this article survived AfD. This will probably bust it back to a stub, but at least there will be a solid foundation to start from. I'm removing all of the original research.--Isotope23 19:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Whitby Abbey
At some stage there will need to be consideration of the relationship with the Whitby Abbey article.--Henrygb 10:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
