their unique features, give translations of inscription. It would accomplish several things: (1) readers could easily compare the runes, they would not have to go through 100's of articles; (2) if left to be independent articles, most of them are destined to be stubs with just a couple of sentences and a template; (3) rune pages would not be flooded by 100's of stuby articles; (4) I believe it would be less work for everybody. One more note: if there is some very special and famous rune it might deserve its own article. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. I'll be glad to assist you..
323:]. I guess I assume that if it was worthy of the Swedish Knowledge (XXG) then it would be okay to translate over into the English one, but perhaps my assumption is incorrect and that each countries Knowledge (XXG) content is objective/selective ONLY for that country? My intention was to complete the entire rune stone set for

oh, no no no. I am so terribly sorry if I have discouraged you. No, your contributions are perfectly fine and higly welcome! I just wanted to point out that there might be a better way to organize this information (I have never said that this info is not worthy to be on WP; I just said it could be
442:
I feel a bit guilty about this; I didn't want to suggest you should delete all of it, and I was quite fond of the list articles. At least the list of inscriptions with the original texts and locations should be preserved, maybe just remove the copied translations? Or write
Rundata first asking if
307:
I don't think
Wikisource is a very good idea. What would be better: a single article describing the history and comparing all rune stones in a region (an overview). And then there could be a list of say rune 1 - rune 50 and rune 51 - rune 100 and so on where you could talk about individual runes,
461:
hi Mceder -- I most definitely think that lists of runic inscriptions and associated maps will be a valuable addition to
Knowledge (XXG). I wouldn't worry about copying straightforward translations too much either. A translation like "This is the stone of X, Y carved the runes" is certainly not
327:, with pictures eventually, on the English Knowledge (XXG) and then tackle the Swedish one. Even though Swedish is my native language, English comes more natural for me. I will hold off until I can get a good answer to these questions, perhaps being bold sometimes is not the answer :) --
296:
Hey, I've had an idea. Perhaps the inscriptions and their translations should go on
Wikisource, and here on Knowledge (XXG) you could write an overview article for each region, with images and whatnot. Warning: I know very little about Wikisource, so this suggestion may be bunk.
259:: Oh boy, another thousand entries? It just seems to me that an article per inscription is inefficient. Unfortunately, I don't have any constructive advice; I guess organization isn't my strong side either. Maybe you should ask some Wikipedians with more experience than myself!
354:
I agree! Just keep them coming, we can still figure out how to present them best later. I do think it would maybe be better to make each inscription a section in a larger article, but that's technicalities. The most important thing is that we even have the information.
345:
organized in a better way). Because as far as I understand you plan to add 100's of new articles. All I said is just a suggestion. It's totally up to you to decide if you want to follow it or not. Please do not get discouraged.... We need you and your expertize!
197:
I was just wondering where you got your information from on this article, as
Uppsalas universitets rune database claims that the code in question for your rune stone is "Fv1976 107." If the database is in error, I would very much like to inform them of that.
508:, where I began compiling a list, essentially copying material from ucl.ac.uk; if it is fair to copy the information manually, I don't see why it should be illegal to generate it automatically, if the outcome is exactly the same anyway :) regards,
286:
I agree that there should not be 956 articles on
Uppland Rune Inscriptions. Maybe you could just make one big article about them all? I don't think that they alone are worth that much attention. You would save a lot of work for yourself ;)
503:
I think you are right; such indices are probably not copyrightable. The
English translations might be, as far as they go beyond simple "X raised the stone for Y". In any case, I would welcome the addition of the Rundata index. See also

Thank you for the suggestions guys. I guess I am getting a bit gun shy about adding anymore right now. I started this as an effort to translate pages off the
Swedish Knowledge (XXG), for example:

Hey, it's great that you're adding all this information, but for those inscription articles that consist only of an infobox, wouldn't it be better to consolidate them into an umbrella article?
