Talk:Firuzabad, Fars

message: A couple of books I've read make mention in passing to Firuzabad as being where the Sassanian dynasty overthrew the Parthians. Does anyone have any sources giving actual details of the battle? If we can get a few together it should really warrant its own page. There's some pictures of Sassanian reliefs  at Firuzabad, but I can't find any actual descriptions.

Talk:Gulf of Honduras

message: Additions
# a number of sections which seemed relevant to the subject (eg geography), as the beginning article was a stub and had no sections,
# infobox, as the bay is a body of water for which there is an infobox template,
# references, as these were lacking,
# use British English tag, given national ties to Belize,
# explanatory footnotes, short citations, and full references, in three sections, as short explanatory footnotes were useful, while some references needed to be cited multiple times, making short citations useful in this case.
Nothing was removed, though the citation / reference style was altered to introduce explanatory footnotes and short citations.
Needed improvements
# more coverage of Guatemala and Honduras, data for which I think might be in Spanish-language literature which I didn't review,
# history section needs expansion,
# political geography section needs expansion,
# some claims (tagged 'citation needed') need to be sourced,
# article could use some visual aids, especially maps and diagrams.

message: I cleaned this up today further today, since I had local history library access, despite a couple of web-based robocalls, presumably from the real estate scammers who have gotten more active in the last few days. Here, I note the difficulty citing the main source, the article in the newest Dictionary of Virginia Biography, which seems more than just annoyance at the cyberbullies. This library is now closing, and I would rather focus my next effort into creating an article about his father, rather than spend more time attempting to jigger the reference form. For what it's worth, I took out the references to the disfavored findagravve as well as the political graveyard, and expect either to revise this article tomorrow at a different library (since this one is closed Thursdays), with easier access to a more reputable genealogical source such as the William and Mary Quarterly. Alternately, I may add the genealogy in my planned article about his father, who also has an article in the current Dictionary of Virginia Biography. I am curious if the skeletal entry in Lyon Gardiner Tyler's volume is because he may have emancipated some of his slaves, or defeated a Tyler family member years earlier.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:48, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
