Hi there W.carter, would you mind trying to clarify a question about a location in Gotland? Fragments of a Vendel Period, or perhaps Viking Age, helmet were found in Halla (see Sutton Hoo helmet#Helmets; a picture of one piece is here), in a place that most sources refer to as "Högbro (Broa)". This is probably an extremely basic question, but do you know what "Högbro" refers to (e.g., is it a village?), and what the parenthetical "(Broa)" indicates? Thanks, -- Usernameunique ( talk) 01:13, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Usernameunique, yes I read the notes and it's impossible to say if they are the notes referred to in the 1976 notes since there are no corresponding numbers in them, no author signature and no dates at all. The handwritten notes appears to be the very first, since they have drawings of the finds made in the field, and the printed text with photos is a condensed transcription of the handwritten notes done some time later when the finds came to the museum. What is interesting though is the last part of the texts. Both texts say: "Funna vid odling för anläggande af en trädgård, omkr. en fot djup och å en areal af omkr. ½ kappland." It's in old Swedish so Google translate might have some trouble with it. Anyway, the translation is: "Found next to farmed land when constructing a garden, about one foot deep and of an area of about ½ kappland. (1 kappland = 1/32 Barrel of land = 154.3 square meters) The handwritten notes go on and add: "Inköpt från G. Johansson för 45kr." => "Bought from G. Johansson for SEK 45." The handwritten notes are sort of the receipt for the items.
Now this tells us that the first finds were not found by archeologists during a dig; they were found by G. Johansson while he was breaking land to make a garden, probably some sort of kitchen garden next to his fields at the farm, which may at the time have been called Broa (still think we should keep Broe since it can be found on maps and the name can also be misheard by the author of the notes). The farmer had collected the things and sold the 83 items to the visiting note writer for SEK 45. In 1904, SEK 45 was the equivalent of SEK 2665 today according to this. Some other sites have the value from around 2450-2700, but that site is hosted by an economics professor so I think it's rather accurate.
I can imagine the guy from the museum sitting there, probably at the kitchen table in the main house at the farm, drawing and describing the items in his journal with the farmer watching and waiting for the then rather substantial sum of money. :-) Although it is unclear how many years went by between the farmer finding the things and when they were bought by the museum. These days the farmers mostly come to the museum instead. -- cart -Talk 17:55, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Kindly keep your GA article Sunil Kumar Verma in your watch list since it is being Vandalized by some IP based brand new users from time to time. Also please correct the access date format for reference 19, if possible. Many thanks -- 60.243.182.58 ( talk) 18:14, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

The article Jeff Olm has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No sources in article since 2015, and after searching for sources, I cannot find any sources online that would demonstrate notability. Note: there is one “interview” in existence here but this is advertorial coverage and therefore does not demonstrate notability as an independent and reliable source
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello there, I decided to come back to Wikipedia, partly to (eventually) improve my old Gotland churches even more. I just wanted to pop by to say hi. I hope all is well with you. It was partly the fond memories of working with you that made me decide to come back. Stay well, Yakikaki ( talk) 18:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

I`ve been blocked by some wikipedia person from wikipedia because he or she thinks I`m using an imitation name, that is, one not my own. It is hard to explain my ignorance. I simply didn`t know to use a made-up name.
I have read the section on Real names and written wikipedia about the problem. But perhaps this is a good time to stop wikipedia. I believed I was helping. At any rate, I would like to thank you. Your help brightened my days and as you realize, in these times, that counts for a great deal.
I hope you are well.
