'Thane redirects here'

It says 'thane redirects here', but that's not true. Somebody may want to fix that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.167.54.37 (talk) 01:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear written article

This article is written in a very unfriendly english to the reader. It was very difficult to understand what the article is talking about and I got lost very quickley. Most of the article is based on cites, and these cites are pretty much of a very high/old english which is very hard to read, especially to readers which are not native english speakers - so it would be very easier if after each cite, there would be a translation of it to more simple english instead of continue the sentance like the cite was clearly obious.

This is the kind of articles which I consider as a burden, and while the text should be written normally and more simplified - every section on this article is more complicated then it's previous. horrible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.168.95 (talk) 19:26, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed you are correct.

Because none of the citations have any idea what the word means.

Here are the good article explaning it all.

gesith?

This article contains several references to 'gesith' for comparison with 'thane'. But there is neither an explanation nor a link for 'gesith'. Thus these references make no sense. As 'gesith' doesn't exist in first place, it's no use in explaning 'thane' with 'gesith'. It would make more sense the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truchses (talk • contribs) 10:48, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

distribution of land

an aristocrat who owned substantial land in one or more counties.

Is that last phrase necessary? Seems to me, any land is necessarily in one or more counties, where counties exist. —Tamfang (talk) 05:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
