Talk:Goliards

I put up the "Citations missing" template because I believe the reader should be able to acknowledge the source and validity of the facts being presented to him or her, and that's precisely why footnote references exist. While I'm aware that the bulk of the article may come straight from the Encyclopædia Britannica, references to other sources should be present and properly indicated.

I added the "Out of date" template because the cited sources of this article date back to 1884 (Symonds), 1911 (Encyclopædia Britannica) and 1927 (Waddell). I know for a fact that a) most books unfortunately just seem to pump their information from these popular yet out-dated sources and that b) there is modern original research available on the Goliards, the main problem being that it's sometimes hardly accessible for the common man, but more easily for the university student since he or she can access this information through faculty libraries or scientific publications search engines such as JSTOR. That said, I do think it's possible to find more recent material to make this article valid for the 21^st century.

Oh, and most of the research done on the Goliards has been conducted by Germans and therefore is in German.
