message: Can we have a nicer sub-heading than 'Highlights'? mat_x 14:20, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Nicer sub-heading

message: There is no "bar" on the right of the article giving quick facts about the war: its players, the major battles, troop strengths, and who "won" or "lost"...
:Now there is :) Astrokey44 06:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Bar on the Right 

message: I remember reading that European Chemists were put to work making chemical weapons, such as phosgene, to use in the Crimean War. Does anyone know enough about that to tell about it in the article?
: Apparently none of the ideas proposed were carried into action according to [this.] Wiki Chemical_warfare agrees with that site.Alci12 17:08, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The map in the article now shows Ottoman losses in the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-1878. -- Petri Krohn 11:23, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong map

message: Why does this section exist?  We should consider the Ottoman point of view in the creation of the article as a whole, not isolate in its own, deeply POV, section.  This whole article could probably use an overhaul. john k 17:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ottoman's are long gone, so I doubt that's an issue.  Atatürkwasn't exactly nostalgic.  Let's compare sources for the battle statistics and sort out the differences.  If sources are in conflict, maybe we could list an estimated range, take an average, or play Rock, Paper, Scissors for the posting rights.  Rklawton 21:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "From the Ottoman Point of View" 

message: I think this article is also missing the long-term effects of the war, which in my opinion, were of equal importance of the war itself.  I will try to get around to writing this section, but I don't have too much time during the next two months.  If someone has the time to do this, go right ahead, but if not, I'll get to it hopefully soon. Jordy540 21:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legacy 

message: The British Embassy in Helsinki has made available on its web page a "Special Feature", a multi-page article The Baltic Campaign of the Crimean War.  Information should be copied and Wikipedia expanded while these pages are still on-line. The site has several old (PD) prints. One is already included in the article, but they should all be downloaded to Wikimedia Commons (if not there already). -- Petri Krohn 01:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added several PD pictures from this page last month. If you copy the text, I'm afraid this will be regarded as a copyvio. Regards, Ghirla -трёп- 14:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Baltic Campaign of the Crimean War (Oolannin Sota)  

message: I added The British army abolished Sale of commissions as a direct result of the disaster at the Battle of Balaclava.
This fact can be found in the Wikipedia article on Sale of commissions.
It is also supported by Cecil Woodham-Smith in The Reason Why. Piercetp 18:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More facts 

message: Rather than engaging in a revert war I posted a solicitation for a third party at  Wikipedia:Third_opinion
This is what I stated:
Revision war. Should it be mentioned that 1) the Crimean war resulted (directly or indirectly) to the emancipation of Russian Serfs, and 2) That the Crimean War resulted in the abolition in the Sale of commissions in the British army? See talk page. Piercetp 04:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actively enlisting a third party opinion here 

message: I enlisted the mediation cabal to hopefully reach a comprimise solution. Piercetp 03:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have added a heading for where the Crimean War has been used in fiction.
This has a subheading for Jasper Fforde. Thanks Woodgreener 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
