Comments on the authors mentioned[edit]

Pennington is a poet and fringe film maker. Since 1990, he and his wife, Joy, thorough Jole Productions their video production company, have produced 17 documentaries including In Search of the Mudmen (1990), Wales: History in Bondage (1995), and Secret of the Stones (1998), Eyes that Look at the Sky: The Mystery of Easter Island (2001), The Mound Builders (2001), The Serpent Fort: Solving the Mystery of Fort Mountain, Georgia (2005). They are presently working on a documentary called Seafaring Strangers: Vikings in America. See also [1]. He was a professor of English at Jefferson Community and Technical College, which is a 2 year college.

As for Baram Blackett and Alan Wilson they aren't much better. There is no Welsh language Coelbren, Wilson did not discover the Ark of the Covenant despite his claims[2]. See also [3].

They aren't historians but self-published amateurs - they were BNP candidates once though.[4]. See also [5], and on their archeology, [6] and [7]. Dougweller (talk) 15:42, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It may be useful to fold some of this into the article, if we can locate any good sources. On the other hand, I suspect none of these people are actually notable.
Interestingly, the Brandenburg stone figures prominently in the Comet Catastrophe of 536/540 AD. - MrX 16:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wilson was BNP candidate a few years ago near where I work. He lives just a short walk from where I am now. Perhaps I should pop over to ask his advice. The site referring to Lee Pennington made no reference to any relevant expertise, so I don't think he should be in the lede. Whether he deserves any mention at all is arguable, but I've put him in a new section on the "welsh" theory. The markings on the stone don't look like natural scratches to me, I must say. Is that a widespread view? What's the source for the claim? Paul B (talk) 19:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
One would think that the public library website could be trusted but sentences such as this are a worry "New studies were preformed [sic] on the stone. Alan Wilson and Bram Blackett, who are professional historians with the Arthurian Research Foundation in Cardiff, Wales, translated the writing from the Welsh language of Coelbren." Paul B (talk) 19:15, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While you're there, could you get Wilson's autograph for me, preferably in Coelbren script?
Thanks for boldly improving the article. - MrX 19:17, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why would we trust the public library? I doubt very much that anyone there has any expertise except in librarianship. Claims such as "There have been 55 stones with similar markings on them found in numerous states" are unsourced and more than dubious. Dougweller (talk) 19:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I suppose I thought public institutions had an obligation to maintain some standards. I'm still doubtful about this natural scratches thing. It's stated on some web pages but does not seem to be attributed to any actual namned experts. I see that our friend Scott Wolter has proven that the markings are ancient...again.

Likely because it was found in Brandenburg, Kentucky.--Auric talk 19:10, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
