Strange: just 2 comments in 2017, nothing since 2010. I'll add the phases where I see it. The main criticism was about the length of the article.
I believe we should distribute the content of this article into the parts of [Archeology] and add a timeline of the cultures (overview) and an overview of the Ages.
I miss the description of the hamangia and the Cucuteni cultures. Or does it make sense to concentrate/limit this article to Transylvania ?

I was a rookie when I wrote this article. and still I am. I have no ideea about html or how wiki works. I wished to upload on that page pictures, references, books but i don t know how. Anyone who wants to help me with that article can ask me and i will give sources, pictures, books. anything you need. regards Rotea

Hi Roteadan. Thank you for the message above. I think that some Wikipedia editors would like to work with you on this to bring it up to Wikipedia page standard. Please check in from time to time. When you log in, you will see a yellow message at the top of the page for you to click to go straight to your own page. --Kudpung (talk) 11:14, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rotea, we cleaned up your article. When you have a chance, please review. Thanks.--Codrin.B (talk) 04:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, the wrong "links" to not existing articles, and only pointing to the same word in the same article, are indeed annoying and have to be cancelled. Completely useless are hints on puzzling "three phases", which are neither described, nor chronologically defined. HJJHolm (talk) 06:15, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Above all, many thanks for the very good informations, missing in many other wikis! It would, however, be useful, if a native teacher of English could distangle the extremely "interhooked" style, and the many nationalistic assessments (I tried some minor parts).HJJHolm (talk) 06:09, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's odd that the creator still hasn't chimed in here in spite of his offer. The article, apart from the bibliography, is still completely without inline references. --Kudpung (talk) 06:21, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's a pity. The guy doesn't seem like a regular. The article has a lot of useful content, hopefully others will pitch in. I'll continue to work on wikifying it to. Cheers! --Codrin.B (talk) 05:32, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have hopefully made this article more readable. It was a considerable labour. It is either a machine translation, or the work of someone with poor English. Some of my edits may have distorted the intended meaning; there were passages where some decisions were necessary to make it at all intelligible. I also have concerns about COPYVIO because 'this chapter' is mentioned (which I edited out). The article appears repetitive, and long-winded, but I was unwilling to be any more radical in my edits, as I have no expertise in the topic. I agree with the editor above, who said that the article contained interesting material. I believe it can be further improved over time. --Greenmaven (talk) 08:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User:Codrinb, for all the recent improvements you have made to this article. --Greenmaven (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you too! I am done for now, maybe you can run a second pass. Regards--Codrin.B (talk) 04:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The uninformed and uninforming speculations about the Indo-Europeans are self-contradicting.HJJHolm (talk) 06:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is at least idiosyncrating to write that "Significantly, the first bronze items (brass alloyed with arsenic, and later tin) now emerged." in the THIRD (her last) phase of the BA.HJJHolm (talk) 07:03, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because Noua follows after the Wietenberg, I changed the order accordingly. HJJHolm (talk) 07:33, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

... when writing emerges in the culture in case, or when that culture starts being described by other, more developed neighbours? From C6 BC onwards we have Herodotus etc., giving ample descriptions of the Geto-Dacians, even if Dacians themselves didn't do much writing of their own. Setting here the end date at the mid-2nd century CE seems a bit late. Arminden (talk) 06:51, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
