Talk:Battle of Vaslui

message: "The battle lasted for four days where the fleeing Ottoman army was pursued by the Moldavian light cavalry and the 2,000-strong Polish cavalry for three days until they reached the town of Obluciţa (now Isaccea, Romania), in Dobruja." Is that seven days in all, or what? Can someone explain the sentence to me? Metamagician3000 13:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: I don't understand this

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 requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I made some minor corrections concerning spelling and sentence structure; please look them over to verify if I've made any mistakes or changed common spelling. One thing in the article that should be fixed is the use of the word "latter" which is used four or five times within a couple of sections. Just reword a few instances of it so the article flows better. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Regards, --Nehrams2020 03:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: This is supposed to be a battle between the Ottomans ruled then by II.Mehmed and Moldavians. The nonneutrality starts from the name; it is supposed to be a battle where one side is Ottomans and the name of the battle in Turkish is not given! Again when we look at the references, nearly all of them (except 4 lines of shambolic Ottoman/Turkish references) are in Romanian given under Romanian names, even though this article is in English. When it comes to references to Ottoman historians which is written in three lines the shambles start: Oruc Bey and Kemalpasazade are given in one line even though these are published in different volumes and names in Turkish; Tajul Tevarikh is written by Hoca Sadeddin Efendi but shown to be by a Sa'd al-Din?? and the names of these references are written in English translation first (while in contrast Romanian references are in Romanian). The name of the Ottoman commander is given as Hadan Suleyman Pasha which cannot be correct since there is no word (mispelled or not) as Hadan in Turkish; it should be Hadim Suleyman Pasha. Again the Ottoman army numbers are totally inflated. In the 15. century an Ottoman army under a sub-commander was never as big as 60,000-80,000. One can only attribute this to non-neutrality since it gives the Moldovian so-called victory a bit more glitter.  The whole edifice of nonneutrality is topped up by the last quote from a very biased source: Catholic Encyclopedia. The references again show how non-neutral this article is: no reference to it from the Turkish Wikipedia !!!!! User:noyder 10 May 2008 88.106.149.100 (talk) 17:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality of this is disputed

message: Jan 10, 2010 a change was made to the graphic to show 80,000 Moldavian soldiers and 50,000 Moldavian casualties.  This contradicts the text.  Might the change to the graphic be mischievous?  It reverses the issue of who outnumbered whom, and who suffered more casualties. 71.91.126.109 (talk) 12:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistent

message: In the infobox  there is a portrait of Suleyman Pasha. A good portrait. But alas, it is false. The portrait belongs to Suleiman Pasha of Egypt who was actually a French named Joseph Anthelme Sève (1788-1860). The battle took place 313 years before he was born. The image must be delated. But before delating, I’ll try to reach the contributor. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 07:05, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The portrait does not belong to Suleiman 

message: the name of the II. Mehmet's general has been written Hadam(Hadım) suleyman pasha in the article. I have to say that it's not true. He was born on around 1470 and died in 1548. He cant rule a battle at 5 years old. Every source(even turkish) are wrong. Only tr: Hadım Süleyman Paşa is correct. If someone could translate from the original source to any languages i can relink them again. Now i unlink the articles about hadim suleiman pasha because of you are not talking about the same and correct general. Zulayhe (talk) 11:10, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ottoman General's name is wrong 

message: Any particular reason why this name is used? Dracula is a a creation of Bram Stoker, and while inspired by Vlad Dracul is just a fictional character. The real name of the prince is Vlad Dracul, also known as Vlad the Impaler. At least use Vlad Dracula, otherwise a reader might get the impression that armies of vampires supported Stephen...

thread_title:  Changes to sourced information 

message: I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with those of you who deemed this a “Good Article.” Perhaps the name of the article is inappropriate. In my opinion, the article is more a history of interactions and warfare between Moldavia and the Ottoman Empire in the 15th Century. The bulk of the article (the Background and the Aftermath) comprising over 60% of the text covers a landscape of events that occurred decades apart from the battle. The discussion of the battle (discounting the “Preparations for War”) is contained in portions of four paragraphs and comprises only 15% of the text. I found the Background and Aftermath too long winded for an encyclopedia article that purports to be a description of a battle. Just my opinion. I expect that you will restore the accolade that I removed to get your attention. VFF0347 (talk) 22:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Good Article? 

message: a most up-to-date casualty estimate - modern historians would bring down these numbers, which are typical of the vastly inflated numbers in almost all primary sources - there were many dead soldiers on the battlefield, but not to these extents  -  HammerFilmFan 2603:6080:2103:3FA2:BDAB:63A3:1A1A:8607 (talk) 02:12, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
