Article almost finished

Things still to do:

• include web links to translated or original sources in the footnotes
• still waiting for possible license permission to use images of the carnyx and other instruments

Whenever someone gets a moment, the by permission links in the image boxes should be made as internal links in the form [[Image_talk:Carnyx_AncientCelticCarnyces.jpg/Permission]]. Fabulous work here, by the way. :-) Stephen Ewen 02:57, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Approval?

I wonder if this is getting close to approval, in your opinion. If so, please consult with Nancy Sculerati about finding someone to do the honors. From my entirely non-expert perspective, this is excellent work.

Also, can you please weigh in on the question who the relevant experts on this topic are? Classicists, musicologists, archaeologists--or all three? --Larry Sanger 11:58, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

Hi Larry, thanks for your compliments. (^_^) Parts of the last paragraph on the "Romans as biased ethnographers" have to be revised. I'm currently looking through an article on the topic. As soon as the small note at the beginning of this paragraph is deleted, the article can be seen as ready for approval. A friend of mine (a music archaeologist) will look through the article when she has the time (probably in June). Another one, also an ethnologist afaik, has already read through the article, and I haven't heard anything yet. So either the article is good or it's complete cr*p. (^_~) In terms of internal CZ-experts: a) Classicists should double-check the sources and add links to online-texts, as it's being done in the Julius Caesar-article; b) musicologists and/or archaeologists (hopefully a music archaeologist) should go through the rest. So I guess there are still some things to do. —Arne Eickenberg 12:36, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

Well, as a contemporary US music critic, as well as someone with a lifelong amateur interest in Celtic music, culture, and history, I think I can help guide this through Approval -- we do have some classicists here, who could be of help, so I'm going to go ahead and nominate it!
