In the Goths article an entirely different Proto-Germanic etymology is given solely. They are both mentioned here, but not in a harmonious fashion. --Fire Star 15:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

yes, the article is problematic. It seems to be presenting the speculations of a single 1996 paper as fact. I am confident Wiglaf is accurately reporting the content of the paper, but this needs to be put into wider perspective. dab (𒁳) 15:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you click to see the Swedish version of this article, then confusingly it wont be the same subject. Instead of Gautr, Geats and the river between old Denmark and Norway you will erroneously get sent to "Gute" from the Baltic island of Gotland. This is a mistake. Gute Havdesson is the mythical first coloniser of that island. He is not a god and not connected to the Geats or the river Gautelfr. OFGBG (talk) 20:15, 1 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
