To-do list for Wilhelm König:

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Expand: König's life, achievements, papers written, discoveries

[edit] (Pre-redirect)

Most of this should probably be at Baghdad Battery. Evercat 18:29, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)


This article needs much work:

  • König didn't discover them
  • It wasn't the British Museum
  • Determined -> speculated
  • Mesopotamia is a region, not a civilisation
  • Using Mesopotamia as a civ suggests Sumer or Akkad to the reader, which is only about three to four thousand years too early for these artifacts
  • Article as it stands says nothing about König's life, it just replicates info about the artifacts (mostly inaccurately)

But I gotta go now. Securiger

[edit] Redirect removed

I have removed the redirect to Baghdad Battery, because they are not one and the same thing.Burns flipper 07:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I've also added some refs from a source I have to hand, and written out all the unsourced/incorrect items mentioned above.Burns flipper 07:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
