Why is the Modern Irish version of this name listed? Is there a particular Irish connection with Vindolanda? Quartier Latin1968 17:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
This might be off-topic here, but VINDOLANDA itself is of some linguistic importance. I note that the name provides evidence for early changes in the Brittonic language, because we here have -landa with an -nd- but close by we see camb-og-lanna- with -nn- < -nd-, showing that this development which was clearly in progress even this far back. 83.105.29.226 ( talk) 12:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I would like to add a section about the writing tablets. Apparently they were voted the most precious treasure in the British Museum and as such probably deserve a note here. See [1]. They are briefly referred to in the article but probably not enough. Also i wondered about either adding more pictures or a link to where more pictures can be seen. Its visually quite an arresting site and i am not convinced this comes across in the article.

The link for "Vindolanda Trust" simply loops back to the main Vindolanda article. Not terribly useful. -- Michael K Smith Talk 22:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Strange Dutch name like 'find old anda' most likely in the meaning of 'find of other island". Perhaps the westside story of the eastside Si at ut anda (Atlantis, see Ath or Alinda). Than Eindolanda could explain the difference. Did they mean the complete land, or the island, is the question here. Island might come from the eierland Texel (=ei=egg) and of course Insula. F.N.

Hello! I would be interested in adding another section that would outline some of the recent media attention that Vindolanda has received in the past year (especially with the discovery of the new cache of ink tablets). What does everyone think? Ebaker22 ( talk) 19:18, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
For a short while, anyone can download the full text of many of the letters and letter fragments from the 2001-2003 excavations. Direct from the cambridge.org website.
Enjoy. N2e ( talk) 00:49, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
I've reverted the text to the version prior to the edits on 12 December 2021 by new user Mtkach1, which were made here. I don't have any comment on the content of the edits - I am not sufficiently well informed on the subject matter to judge (though I have visited the site and have some knowledge of it) - but the edits introduced a number of errors of grammar, spelling (for instance, using US spellings such as "jewelry"), and formatting (such as unconventional citation styles), and in some cases were unreferenced. Further discussions should take place here. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 08:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
