Talk:Swabian War

message: Oh yes, is it? Well, nice to see that the article has been "adopted", but it was written without any knowledge of that project. Lupo 07:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: But of course — the project, for all real purposes, didn't exist at the time!  No taking of credit for the article intended :) Kirill Lokshin 13:22, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry that all references lead to sources in German language, but I have not found a single useful on-line or paper reference in English. Anyone knows one? Lupo 09:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps try:  E. Bonjour,  et al.   A short history of Switzerland  (Oxford, 1952) p.139 ff. and:  William E. Rappard,  Collective Security in Swiss Experience 1291-1948  (London, 1948) pp. 14, 86-88.  RobLandau (talk) 11:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: I am surprised to discover that we don't have articles on high jurisdiction and low jurisdiction, two fairly important concepts if one wants to try to understand medieval politics and power structures. I am not a medievalist myself, so maybe the concepts go by different English names? C.f. :de:Hohe Gerichtsbarkeit and :de:Niedere Gerichtsbarkeit. Lupo 09:16, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: All right: these seem to be called high justice and low justice. Lupo 20:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Terminology 

message: From the last section: ... The Swiss involvement ended only with their defeat in the Battle of Marignano in 1515 and a subsequent peace treaty with the French king (1516).
This seems, at least on the surface, wildly incorrect; the Swiss played a very significant role until at least 1525 (e.g. at Bicocca and Pavia), and I'm pretty certain (though I'll need to check this) that they continued to participate even past that date (perhaps as late as 1544?).  Is this just a mistake, or is there some more subtle point that's being made here? Kirill Lokshin 02:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not an error, but I should probably clarify. The involvement of the Old Swiss Confederacy, acting in its own interests, was brought to an end by their defeat at Marignano. However, Swiss mercenaries in the service of various parties and, following that "Eternal Peace" with France in 1516, in particular in the Service of the French king, continued well beyond. I have already an article about the details of the Swiss conquest of the Ticino in the pipeline. At the German WP, there's already :de:Ennetbirgische Feldzüge, covering that aspect. I'll rephrase the sentence. Lupo 08:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, ok.  That's a bit clearer. Kirill Lokshin 17:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Italian Wars 

message: I covered practically all major battles on the German Wikipedia now and uploaded some more pictures to the commons. They are all categorized by "Swabian War" now. I cannot translate them because I am busy writing the Swiss history in German. Perhaps somebody else has some free time...? Sidonius 21:27, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll get to it shortly, don't worry... the "many red links" was one of the comments at the peer review. Lupo 21:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Battles of the Swabian War

message: I think the atricle is both well written and well source and met GA class standards so I passed it.However, I have one question. Is it possible to add the comanders to the info box. Thanks. Kyriakos 13:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see what I can do, but that'll be difficult, because (a) there were several on the Swabian side, and (b) the Swiss basically had different commanders in the various battles; the Swiss had no a unified "high command". Lupo 14:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GAC passed

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have reworded several statements in the article myself. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed.
#"When he had been banned by Pope Pius XII in a conflict over the nomination of a bishop in Tyrol, the Swiss had annexed the formerly Habsburg territories of the Thurgau, and in 1468, he clashed with the Swiss in the War of Waldshut, which he could end without significant territorial losses only by paying a large ransom, which he financed by pawning territories in the Sundgau and the Alsace to Charles the Bold of Burgundy in 1469." This is one long sentence that should probably be split into two.
#*Done. Lupo 07:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

message: Good work on addressing the above issues, and at this time the article continues to meet the requirements of the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, ensuring all new information is properly sourced. If you disagree with this review, you can seek an alternate opinion at Good article reassessment. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Nehrams2020 20:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
