Talk:Chatti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure about the accuracy of the 1911 encyclopedia on this -- putting on my to-do list...JHK

JHK seems to have left. Too bad. Democracy can be tedious, no doubt about that. It has its virtues. With respect to Wikipedia, this material gets broadcast all over the Internet and is far more widely read than the journals and books. You can't avoid it. It is everywhere and gets repeated in hundreds of sites. Someone has a responsibility to the people to publish valid rather than invalid stuff. I'd say to JHK, don't be too proud to take a few blows on behalf of truth. It isn't fellowship that counts, but truth. We can't even imagine what Wegener went through, and Copernicus didn't even dare to publish his revolutionary work on astronomy in his life. The book was placed in his dying hands. But, that isn't the topic.

We have this article that needs work. Unless there is some real evidence that the Chatti, Chasuarii and Cattuarii are the same, I wouldn't lump them together on the say-so of a 1911 encyclopedia. Someone needs to look at the sources and present the arguments in words the public can understand. If no one else does it eventually I will do it but I want fill in some of the tribal gaps first if I can.Botteville 00:37, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Keith?

What about the Catti who went to Scotland to become the clan Keith (or so I've read)? Is this the same as the Chatti mentioned in the article? The Jade Knight 08:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
