The main map shows Principality of Serbia as Servia spanning over Bosnia yet not only is the Croatia Dutchy missing but Bosnia was in the Croatia Dutchy at this time. The map needs to be fixed. It doesn’t align with the established borders of Serbia and Croatia.Cite error: There are <ref>

This recently added section on the HRE is extremely POV-ish, not only does it disregards the fact that HRE grew in prominence in the High Middle Ages and not the Early Middle Ages with Otto I being crowned emperor in 962 (however, the term "HRE" was not used immediately at this time), and erroneously states that "Carolingian Emperor Charles the Fat provoked an uprising, led by his nephew Arnulf of Carinthia, which resulted in the division of the empire in 887 into the kingdoms of France, Germany, and (northern) Italy." The Carolingian Empire broke up in 843 with the Treaty of Verdun not in 887. Also, POV-ish terms like "German government" are used. Finally, an entire section was created for the HRE, while the more significant for this era Carolinian Empire only has a sub-section. And, most of all not a single reference source was used to back up any of the claims. --E-960 (talk) 20:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

The illustration to the "Rise of Islam" sub-section is causing offence to Muslims, who object to pictorial representations of their Prophet. The picture was uploaded to Commons on 22 September 2006, since when there has been a petition (garnering 400,000 signatures I believe) against the way it is used on Wikipedia and four deletion discussions, the argument for deletion being "it is also fake because no one in any islamic history book tried to draw him because it was and still forbidden in any case good or bad." We can therefore say with confidence that this is not Muhammad - it is most likely to be a picture of Ali, as the Ahl al-Bayt are pictured closest to the preacher. The Ahl al-Bayt are especially revered by the Shia, and the picture is one of a series created as a propaganda exercise to please a Shiite ruler. 92.28.118.179 (talk) 12:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
I've added an [ambiguous] tag to the following phrase in the "Transmission of Learning" subsection, asking for clarification on its meaning:
Is this phrase claiming that during the Early Middle Ages, most Western Europeans were descended from Germanic peoples who had settled in the Roman Empire during the Migration Period (thereby displacing the Romanized population)? That's a very bold claim. The debate over the demographics of post-Roman Europe is one of the biggest difficulties among historians. The question of whether or not there was mass population displacement is controversial even regarding sub-Roman Britain, where it is most likely to have happened.
I would have re-written this passage myself but I couldn't access the original reference.theBOBbobato (talk) 19:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
