Copyediting, etc.

I did some copyediting (please note that a citation goes immediately after the punctuation mark, not before), and wanted to explain why I deleted "exceptional discovery" from the lede. I have no doubt that it was, but I was unclear which sense of "exceptional" was meant (possibly both): "exceptional" because it was a stray/unique find for the area, or because of its exceptional quality and significance in Geto-Dacian archaeology? The latter claim, which seems likely, should be attributed to a source.

Also, I wanted to note that this would've made a good DYK item for the WP main page (I see that it's fairly new, but past the DYK "sell by" date), so if the authors have other goodies like this in store, I would urge them to nominate them.

I have perhaps confused two different discussions of Mithraic iconography; if I did, it's because these were scattered in two different places in the description, without any connection made between the two passages, and I assumed they were referring to a single iconographical interpretation.

The gallery was redundant, as all the images already appear in the article. There was some unnecessary use of parameters for the image files, which caused the top image to be proportionally too large.

One last point: is "shirt knife" possibly meant to be "short knife"? And I'm not finding any such thing called a "goal beaker." Thanks, it was enjoyable to learn of this piece. Cynwolfe (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the cleanup! I posted it as DYK and I will double check the things you pointed out. Regards!--Codrin.B (talk) 02:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that the phrases "shirt knife" and "goal beaker" remain. Just wanted to make sure you didn't mean "short knife," and some other kind of beaker, since I don't find the phrase "goal beaker" in a Google Books search and at the moment have no guess what type of beaker is meant.

Thank you for noticing this. It was a typo. In fact, authors in the book speak about short knife and gold beaker., I corrected the section. Now, I am sure you can find these references within Google books Please try "gold beaker and Cotofenesti" http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=gold%20beaker%20cotofenesti&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=bks:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=wp and further http://books.google.ca/books?id=Ioc9AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA194&dq=gold+beaker+cotofenesti&hl=en&ei=pwiBTdqWE8m4tweG5u3SCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=gold%20beaker%20cotofenesti&f=false Again, thank youBoldwin (talk) 19:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
