Orphaned references in Jomsborg

 Done Fixed. Skäpperöd (talk) 10:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Jomsborg's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Piskorski31":

• From Pomerania during the Early Middle Ages: Jan M Piskorski, Pommern im Wandel der Zeit, 1999, p.31, ISBN 839061848
• From Wolin (town): Jan M Piskorski, Pommern im Wandel der Zeit, p.31, ISBN 839061848

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

location

At the local public library I borrowed Richard Hennig's book "Var låg paradiset?", printed 1956. This book is the Swedish edition of the author's book "Wo lag das Paradies?" but it also includes material from the author's book "Von rätselhaften Ländern". One chapter is related to Jomsborg's location. The author states that the Dane Sofus Larsen found the solution in 1932. Jomsborg was located on what was then Usedom's northwesternmost tip, which has later sunken in the sea.. 213.113.112.240 (talk) 21:35, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

These "findings" are not widely accepted as authentic. The article should reflect their highly controversial status.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 16:56, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

If this this true, then please provide links to articles, books, or other trustworthy media that makes that case. Right now all I see is an article with sources, and someone saying that it is controversial without actually showing anyone who says that it is. NDV135 (talk) 19:29, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I concur with Maunus. Here is an article from the 2021 Årbog for Jysk Arkæologisk Selskab that is highly sceptical. Here is a 2022 review in Fornvännen that dimisses the finds as forgeries.

I'm not really wholeheartedly disagreeing with Maunus. I really just wanted Maunas to give sources. If you have them then feel free to add a section about how controversial the findings are to the end of the appropriate sections. Though I think that the sections should remain on the article.

I just want things to be properly sited, and I'm glad that you have gone and found the proper citations that Maunas was talking about. NDV135 (talk) 00:44, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I do think that you should add them though. As I do not speak Danish. NDV135 (talk) 00:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
