Talk:Battle of Anegawa

message: I can't believe how crappy this article reads.  I read the whole thing and never found out what war it was part of, if any.  I don't think it even mentions the country it takes place in, though the names make me assume it's Japan.  I was even confused for a while as to whether it was even a real battle, because, lacking context, the reference to the battle in video games seems as real as the rest of it.  What a piece of crap. Someone who knows something about this needs to clean it up.  I'd do it, but I don't know the first thing about this, not even enough to clean it up. 98.82.196.213 (talk) 06:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: It might be comfusing but the Ottoman General Esat Pasha of Ioannina has nothing to do with Essad Pasha Toptani of Shkodra, the Albanian politician. According to this []:
Es(s)at Pasha was the brother of Vehip Pasha. After the fall of Ioannina, he served with distinction in the Dardanelles campaign. Also served in the Abbesinian army during the Italian-Abbesinian war (1935-1936).

message: Calling it the "Battle of Bicocca" may be the convention among historians writing in English, but a "bicocca" is not a place, but a thing: a small fort, so "Battaglia della bicocca" translates properly not as "Battle of Bicocca" but "Battle of the bicocca"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.230.159 (talk) 09:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Benevento

message: I had previously read the same description of Manfred's German mercenaries wearing coats of plates (although described more in terms of solid plate, which is surely inaccurate) in "Warfare in the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages" by Hoffman Nickerson, who in turns quotes as a source "Delpech, vol 2,99-106". What always confounded me about this passage is that I would have expected the coats of plates to be worn OVER a maille hauberk and gambeson, so the armpits of the Germans should not have been any more vulnerable than those of the French themselves. I'd like to know the original source of this account of how the Germans were overcome.

Talk:Battle of Cape Kaliakra

message: There are no sources supporting the claim that Nelson made the same maneuver at the Nile and Trafalgar, and theres no indication what that maneuver even is (his main maneuvers at both battles weren't even the same, unless it was something generic like "full sail"). So I'm removing it until theres more information on the maneuver, and sources. Even then, I doubt that it is noteworthy enough that we need to state it was used in all three battles, unless theres evidence that Nelson got it from Ushakov (and the maneuver is probably a pretty common one, and Nelson really didn't get along with Ushakov, so I doubt that). 174.112.18.193 (talk) 05:32, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Camerinum

message: Could anyone check whether the date (298 BC) of the battle is correct? My sources, though they deal more with Roman history in general than with the Samite wars in particular, suggest that it took place in 295 BC. That chronology would also make more sense to me as the first phase of the war is happening around the Samnite territory (taking of Bovianum by Romans in 295) while in the following years the activities shift to the north, where Camerinum lies. Google doesn't provide a lot of pages if you search for "Camerinum 295" or "Camerinum 298" respectively, but there is a (German) page like this:  that has a time-scale with Camerinum in 295. So in case this proves to be right, the date should be changed.--Proofreader 17:15, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Caratacus' last battle

message: A cavalry tombstone found near Gloucester, I believe, indicates one of the units that may have seen action was the Ala I Thracum, a cavalry auxiliary.  The tombstone is that of one of the units duplicarius which the author explains is an NCO on double pay, named Longinus Sdapeze, a Thracian from what is now Sofia, Bulgaria.  From Graham Webster's Roman Invasion of Britain pg. 20.
I'm not sure if this particular cavalry reg. participated in this battle, more research will be needed.  Clearly it will be much easier to define what cohorts were actually present at the site of the battle than the Britons under Caratacus command, but such an investigation would add much to this article.L Hamm 00:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
