More on your Santorini edit

[edit]

It read as personal commentary. Articles should also never comment on themselves. Doug Weller talk 21:13, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Dorian Invasion page: 1-"It has of late become an acknowledged scandal that the Dorians, archaeologically speaking, do not exist.

2-Despite nearly 200 years of investigation, the historicity of a mass migration of Dorians into Greece has never been established, and the origin of the Dorians remains unknown. Some have linked them or their victims with the emergence of the equally mysterious Sea Peoples. The meaning of the phrase "Dorian invasion" as an explanation for the cultural and economic breakdown after the Mycenaean period has become to some degree amorphous. Investigations into it have served mainly to rule out various speculations, though the possibility of a real Dorian invasion remains open.

No evidence the Dorians nor any Dorian Invasion ever occured. Nclh77 (talk) 07:29, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what that has to do with my points. You wrote "It should be noted, despite nearly 200 years of investigation, the historicity of a mass migration of Dorians into Greece has never been established, and the origin of the Dorians remains unknown. Any mention of Dorian in this page should be considered historically unproven." First, we don't tell people what should be noted, see WP:EDITORIAL. Secondly we never use other Wikipedia articles as sources. Third, we don't self-reference, ie talk about the article within the article. Fourth, it's unsourced, see WP:VERIFY. But that doesn't matter, as although there was almost certainly no Dorian invasion, the existence of the ethnic group known as Dorians in ancient Greece may be contested but there's not a consensus that they didn't exist. Like all articles, Santorini needs to reflect its sources. Doug Weller talk 13:53, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any mention of Dorian Santorini is historically faulty. Zero evidence they existed. Can I use biblical quotes as historic fact? It too is occurring on this page. This page is becoming trash. Nclh77 (talk) 21:18, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
