"Romano German" means what?

There are still a number of problems with this article. I will begin with the big one. What does Romano German mean?

• Is Romano supposed to be an adjective modifying the noun German? (That would be weird.)
• Is Romano German supposed to be an adjective (in which case it should probably be hyphenated Romano-German)?
• Is this an article about a culture? Then call it Romano-German culture.
• Is it about Germany under Roman rule? Then call it Roman Germany, maybe. (See Roman Britain.) [P.S. Wikipedia already has that article; it's called Germania. Rob C (Alarob) 23:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)]

Romano German just leaves me puzzled. What is the point of this article? I can't find it yet. -- Rob C (Alarob) 22:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The Point

The point is exactly the same as the point is for Romano British, and Roman Gaul, its to describe the effect Rome had on Germanic peoples, especially after the fall of Rome, when there were mass migrations of Germans into es Roman lands. Also its an article on the culture of the Holy Roman Empire, why they considered themselves Romans(Obviously because of Duel Roman German ancestry). there are all these pointless citations through out the article also. I cant understand why, all these things are basically pretty much common sense. --ProfMozart 03:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

They are not "common sense." They are in fact contradicted by other, much better articles in Wikipedia. If you will keep insisting that Empress Irene tried to marry Charlemagne but was rebuffed, you will have to come up with a reliable source. You have not done this. If you don't do it soon, I will move to have this article deleted. -- Rob C (Alarob) 22:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

To you they may appear as common sense but to most Wikipedia editors it seems it is not common sense. You have been given several suggestions on how to improve this article to prevent it from being deleted and so far you have failed to use them. Instead you just delete our suggestions. Please do not try to make yourself seem like you know more than other Wikipedia editors by saying you are a world renowned historian or criticize other articles on Wikipedia that you may not like like video game articles it just makes people question this article's credibility even more.

I'm Done

Ok Rob so your saying there needs to be a citation after "After the fall of Rome in 476 ad"? or another citation after "Pope Leo crowning charlemange as emperor"? ok, then who did?? everyone knows Pope Leo did. come on all those citations are bogus, you know the Western empire fell in 476, so why the citation? thats why I take it as a personal attack cause you are citating common knowledge, sorry to keep saying it but you know it is. And it feels personal cause thats like citating "the sky is blue". But maybe you are right about the name of the article and the grammer. you know english isnt my naitive tounge, and Romano German Culture could be a better name for it. I'm not saying im not open to change on it, im just saying it should be there.

And Extreme racer, just for the record, I referred to being a Scholar once, so please stop saying I "keep" saying that. Secondly the only comments I erased was on this page's old discussion page, which was pretty much a diffrent article, so again please stop saying I "keep" erasing your comments. I am always open for suggestions.--ProfMozart 05:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

The citation is needed for the main clause, "The Holy Roman Empire was a conscious attempt to resurrect the Western Roman Empire...." Please do not be disingenuous in an attempt to prolong the life of the article. I am disappointed that you continue to find fault with other editors' suggestions rather than working on the article itself. Other people have done more to improve this article than you have, yet it is still very poor. -- Rob C (Alarob) 13:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
