thread_title: File:Vauban-fortress.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: In this recent edit, 4 images were added to the lede.  They are nice and all, but I'm not sure they are all lede-worthy.
I'm thinking of keeping the "Prussian Infantry" one in the lede as best showing "early modern warfare"; it shows the style of dress of the era, muskets, and marching in formation.  The naval one I'm thinking of moving to the Naval section, which currently has no images.  The overview of "Battle of White Mountain" I thinking to move to Infantry section; it shows the square and column formation described there.  The last image of the 4, "Battle of Vienna", is a little hard to make out; doesn't seem to show much about the period; there are some debris of broken cannons about, but the rest is flags and sword waving -- not much warfare of the age.  I'm for removing it.

thread_title:  Lede pictures 

message: This edit (re-)added the bullet "The Ottoman Empire's army was the first army to operate guns" to the list of "geographical and chronological terms" for early modern warfare in the lede.  It's not sourced, doesn't fit as a list item, not significant to understanding the subject, and AFAIK not true.  I reverted it, but the same editor put it back.  Per WP:BRD, I'm now discussing it here. (I am also leaving a message on the editor's talk.)  If there are no objections after a while, I'll revert it again.  --A D Monroe III (talk) 23:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm editing the Japanese subsection of East Asia, adding references and expanding this section from these sources.
Moreover, I'm removing everything regarding the ban on the production of firearms under the Tokugawa onwards. While the original author is not incorrect in stating this information, I cannot find any reliable secondary sources at this time to validate and expand on these statements on this page at this time.

"the explosive that changed the world" exactly, from bad to worse
actually it didn't "changed" anything except from the "decoration" that the fake, virtual world is covered
also an explosive is not a "civilization" damn it  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.235.251.172 (talk) 16:42, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

message: There's been some slow back-and-forth over whether the article should begin with  or .  Rather than edit war, we should discuss, per WP:BRD.
I see no help and some harm in adding "The".  It's not how the subject is used in sources.

message: On the whole this is a decent article however in my opinion there needs to be a section on artillery including field guns. Maybe something could also be said for polearms and pikes. Firestar47 (talk) 21:47, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
