It seems to me that a translation from the German would be quite useful for this confusing, unorganized article.
The article is neither confusing, nor unorganized. It is written in chronological order. You are free to replace it by a translation of the much longer German version - but provided that you do not leave out information like you have done it in this article (the part about the merchants) - this is an encyclopeadia and not a collection of well sounding sentences, where you can leave out things because you just do not like them ...

What I removed was "but after the Slavs had killed some Frankish merchants and had stolen some of their commodities", which I replaced with "Slav conflicts with Frankish merchants" - admittedly, I removed some actual content, but an encyclopedia isn't just a collection of facts, either - it's a collection of well-organized, useful facts, and I'm not sure it's extremely important to include the nature of the conflicts between the Slavs and the French merchants.
As for the organization of the article, yes, it's in chronological order, but it's also one long narrative, and could use with smaller sections. I'm personally not qualified to make any of the changes I suggested (which may have been too harsh) - if I were, I would have done them myself. Chris Edgemon 06:26, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
