Shouldn't it be said that the name "tabor" used in many Slavic languges (including Polish) actually dates from hussite era and comes from assotiation of such formation with Hussit Taborites?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.156.147 ( talk) 22:19, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. fuzzy510 ( talk) 07:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Wagon fort → Laager — WP:COMMONNAME. I've never heard the term "wagon fort" used for this kind of thing before. "Laager", though, seems to be a universally used term for the type of formation, not just in South Africa but throughout the military sphere. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
So, please, he did not use "the term "wagon-fort"" as the article claims; he said "ad carraginem" [to the carraggo?] "quam ita ipsi appellant" [as they [the Goths] themselves call it]. And the root would be Latin, ironically, carrus meaning wagon, and apparemtly aggo meaning rampart. 71.191.228.6 ( talk) 04:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
The word "laager" is often used to describe the supply train of the so called "People of the Sea", in the battles in ancient Egypt! Why? I would merely consider it to mean "A supply train of wagons!" But,please note that over 2,000 years separates these events! And, in another vein; there was a very famous wagon, used by the army of a major Northern Italian city, (Milano) called something like a "Caravaggio!"
In reality,and probably unknown to you guys and gals, the name of it was "the Carroccio! It can even be found on Wiki here, Carroccio. I would suspect there should be made a connection to the above site! Regards, 96.19.147.40 ( talk) 02:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)Ronald L. Hughes
The cited sources are not adequate to support the implication that Conestoga wagons were primarily or even extensively used by settlers heading west. One of the sources is even clearly a work of fiction—historical fiction, but fiction nonetheless. The other source appears to be an issue of Improvement Era. Is it part of a fictional account as well? Either way, it doesn't strike me as reliable. Anyway, the claim is also directly contradicted by this source (written by an historian), which is used elsewhere on Wikipedia (specifically, on the Conestoga wagon page): http://www.americanheritage.com/content/prairie-schooner-got-them-there Thoughts? I'd simply change the link to covered wagon—and ditch both sources. 100.40.6.4 ( talk) 00:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
