Talk:Illyrian history

This article was nominated for deletion on 6 December 2010 (UTC). The result of the discussion was merge to Illyria.

A specific paragraph [[1]] apart from being completely unsourced descriped events that are simply wp:fringe rejected by the modern archeological community (participation in the Trojan War, claiming that the Dardanians of Troja are related with the Balkan Dardani etc.).

There is an acceptable theory regarding the Illyrian Dardanians and those of Troy(not related to the events Trojan war). Btw it'd be easier for me to add references if you added cn tags and didn't remove whole sections.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 18:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very weird and unexplained edits, in the "Iron Age (1000BC-500BC)" section you removed all cn tags without adding one source also restored completely unhistorical (off course unsourced) paragraphs. The unsourced paragraphs in "Bronze Age (2100-1000BC)" were also restored without an explanation too. This [[2]] is the definition of wp:DISRUPTION. Someone can conclude that you are performing a barrage of disruptive edits just by following me arround.

Guess you need a good luck to find this fairytale theory (acceptable?) regarding the Illyrian Dardanians and those of Troy.Alexikoua (talk) 18:46, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't add sources, when you delete whole sections. Btw I started adding some of the cn tags back until I find the precise sources, while at the same I added sources for sections you removed although sources about them were found on Illyrians.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 19:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

that's the right procedure: someone adds a -cn- for a specific reason. As you said this article is just a pov fork of Illyrians, recycling the same stuff butan extreme pov/or version.Alexikoua (talk) 19:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Add cn tags then, but don't remove sections without giving the chance to other users to add sources.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 19:26, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To sum up: I had add them but someone removed them [[3]] (using a wrong edit summary). Also according to your comments about claiming that you started adding some of the cn tags back, you actually started nothing on the main text...Alexikoua (talk) 20:00, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

alex the balkan-trojan connection in the case of the dardani has been seriously discussed...i might bring some info from Papazoglou The Central Balkan Tribes later..though this article starts with 'history of illyrians starts from the late 3rd millenium BC' which sounds bad enough as an intro87.202.140.189 (talk) 00:46, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Ladyphnx, 18 January 2011

I would like to provide a citation for the passage below, from the Roman section of the article on Illyrian history:

The Illyrians were converted to Christian in the first century AD, St. Paul himself writes that he preached in Illyricum^{[citation needed]}.

The King James version of the Bible could be used to cite this: Romans 15:19

19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

[4]

Also mentioned in the book Paul of Tarsus By Joseph Holzner, Chapter 46, pp. 385-386, though the reference on p. 385 (Romans 11:19) is incorrect, and is probably a typographical error (11 substituted for 15). Found on Google Books by searching for "paul of tarsus illyricum".
