[edit] Kemble

Almost all the pages related to the Ruthwell cross seem to the say the same thing about Kemble's interpretation not being adequate, etc. Where is the source? Almost every source other than wikipedia on the internet and fairly recent books on Runes as well as the Norton and other anthologies confirm that the ruhwell cross contains excepts from the dor poem. It seems that just one person has edited all these related pages but cited absolutely no sources as to why "this reading is not acceptable today without reservation."--72.85.23.244 02:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Runic text

I have removed a section which attempted to display the Runic inscriptions in a text-format. The text was not displaying correct and appeared as a series of boxes on my computer, leading me to believe that others would have a similar problem displaying the text. Since the runes are shown in an image to the right of where the text was, I don't think anything is lost by removing the text. Rellman 19:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Rellman

Yeah I had the same problem here, it didn't display correctly (lots of "????") -- Stbalbach 00:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
