[edit]A large part of this article is copied from Louis the German.
Which parts? PrinceofFrancia (talk) 10:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- I wrote the current version and copied none of it from that article. Perhaps parts have been copied over to Louis's article. Srnec (talk) 23:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Oh. Okay. I think I read somewhere about it saying this article was copied. Can’t remember what because it’s been a couple days ago. But thanks for writing this article Srnec:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceofFrancia (talk • contribs) 06:33, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Carlomans birth
[edit]Ive seen a couple of sources range from carlomans birth being around 828-830. Does anyone else think it’s more likely he’s born in 828 because he led an army in 842 and I doubt a 12 year old would be able to do that. Much more likely he was at least 13 since that’s the Frankish age of adulthood (however arbitary)
Cheers PrinceofFrancia (talk) 10:48, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- That has a certain logic, but if no reliable secondary sources says more than 828–30, that's all we can say. Srnec (talk) 23:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. So should we keep it at c.830 or c.828-830 as his birthdate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceofFrancia (talk • contribs) 06:46, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- "Around 830" is from the sources cited in notes [1] and [2]. I'm sure I've seen the 828–830 range before, but I'd have to find a reliable source to cite it to before putting it in the article. Srnec (talk) 02:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Alright. PrinceofFrancia (talk) 08:36, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
I have seen a couple of “828” sources. But they are from 1911 and 1951. Do you think that may be too old? Is there a Wikipedia policy that has a limit of age of sources? PrinceofFrancia (talk) 08:38, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Not per se, no. Can you link the source(s)? Srnec (talk) 22:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Sure.

First is the 1911 Brittanica.
Next is “A dictionary of universal biography of all ages and all peoples”. Carloman is mentioned on page 106 PrinceofFrancia (talk) 13:58, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

This looks pretty good. Doesn’t talk about Carloman though as it’s focused on his Uncle Lothair and grandfather Louis, but has a list of references that may be interesting to this topic PrinceofFrancia (talk) 14:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Hey srnec. I saw that you added the citation for 828. Do you think we should just change it to say “Carloman was born between 828-830”, cite the 3 sources, and change the info box to be 829 since that’s the average? PrinceofFrancia (talk) 13:13, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- I think that "c. 830" covers as far back as 828, which is why I opted to leave it in the lead. Since the major sources say "c. 830" I'd prefer to stick with that, since I do not know why they refuse to be more precise (could be they never thought about it too hard, could be they know something I'm missing). Srnec (talk) 23:46, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Sound logic. I would opt for the former because I sincerely doubt they thought much of it. Because, it’s very unlikely a 12 year old would have led armies into battle PrinceofFrancia (talk) 01:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Anyway thanks for engaging in an interesting discourse regarding Carloman. I appreciate your time doing so:) PrinceofFrancia (talk) 02:25, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
