Thompson Site in the infobox

[edit]

At the top of the infobox the site is named "Thompson site". That part of the article I will leave for someone else to look at. --The long road homw (talk) 18:56, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for picking up on that, I have fixed it. Heiro 19:25, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

The fourth word/character group of the article

[edit]

There is a disagreement between editors about what should come immediately after the first three word of the article. My suggestion (and previosu edit) is,

"The Hansen Sitetrinomial: 15GP14—is an archaeological site". My point is that the fourth "word" probably should not be a group of numbers/characters which is not explained. It probably is not good enough for a general encyclopedia, that the fourth word of an article needs to be clicked (so that the reader knows if there is some information at the linked site, that might be vital for the understanding of the rest of the text). If the fourth "word"—actually a non-word—of an article is cryptic (for a majority or minority of our readers), then that "word" needs a short explanation, such as "trinomial".

(Trinomials use in printed literature is believed (also by myself) to "save ink" and save effort and resources related to the writing of texts. Also the trinomials easily can identify uniqueness, regarding sites such as the Hansen site (which can come in handy when there are several Hansen Site'—in the same county or in other places which might contribute to confusion between similar sites). In theory, our articles do not need the trinomials, because the articles are not constricted by "the room for text on a printed page". I am not advocating that we remove trinomials from our articles. Just don't use unexplained trinomials in a sentence (or as the fourth word in article, with a sentence such as that)—that's my suggestion. --The long road homw (talk) 21:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

As has been explained to you already, the trinomial is linked to the article on trinomials, as are several hundred other articles which employ the trinomials, there is no need to explain the coding of the trinomials on every single article on which they occur, that is what the link is for. This is a WP:POINT exercise in retaliation for my revert of you here . Before this I had never encountered you and you had never shown in any interest in any other articles I edit or created. I advise you to move on from this little tit for tat nonsense. Heiro 21:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
