Historicallly? and we?

edit

This articel states in following sentence: Historically, we know that one speaker could not travel to see all of these nations in one lifetime. What Historically facts is this based on? Shouldn't this be backed up by other travel descriptions from the same time period desputing the possibility what is described as impossible in the poem? Secondly who is we ? Is we one person, a small group, or a general opinion? If so is there other opinions? Is we and Historically overstating the opinion? Beowolf53 (talk) 14:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)beowolf53Reply

Eormanric an Ostrogoth?

edit

Don't the first historical references to Austrogoti, in the Historia Augusta and Claudian, date to the end of the 4th century, after the death of Ermaneric? Off the top of my head, I think Ammianus refers to Ermaneric, but as a Greuthung, not an Ostrogoth. 96.255.9.115 (talk) 00:49, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Long poem or short?

edit

Widsith should either be italicized or enclosed in quotation marks throughout the article, depending on whether it's considered a long poem or a short one. Does anyone have thoughts on which it is? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:47, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Translation

edit

The translation here is very inaccurate and made by someone with little knowledge of Old English. I will try to fix it but I'd appreciate if someone else with knowledge of the language can control. Mårtensås (talk) 18:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
