It hardly matters in these cases, but references should not be added that have not been actually consulted. If you actually have the books on the Kaiseraugust & Esqiline treasures I do hope you will start articles on them. Johnbod (talk) 16:39, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree, in this case the changes in the references, although well meant, do matter, especially for an article at FA status in which every sentence has been carefully reviewed and referenced. The references that were changed were citations to a particular page of a particular book in support of a specific point.  Although the replacement sources may be better reference works for these hoards, they do not necessarily support the specific point being made in the article, and without a page number reference they are unacceptable.  I have therefore reverted the good faith changes made by RJSoma. But I hope this will not discourage RJSoma from continuing to edit Wikipedia, and echo Johnbod's sentiments about using these sources to start writing articles about the Kaiseraugust and Esqiline treasures.

 * Fair enough - I doubt, not having seen either new ref, but having Painter, there is a problem with the actual information, but the page number issue is a good point. Johnbod (talk) 21:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
