Talk:Battle of Valea Albă

message: Who keeps changing the casualties to the uncited reference that the majority of the Moldavians perished? This is simply not true, and the chronicle of Donado and Jan Dlugosz, as well as Angiolello affirm that the Moldavians only lost 200 men in battle and 800 were captured.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.88.193 (talk) 03:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casualties? 

message: Anybody knows anything about the strength of the armies or the reasons of this war? This article is important because it marks the Ottoman victory over resisting Moldovia. This war also has a respectable part in the European effort against Turks. Deliogul 12:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Super Dromaeosaurus,Are you kidding me? Don't you check your edit history? Another editor is someone who deletes an existing source without providing any source. Keremmaarda (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You should've written an edit summary. I've checked the source, it says "this contingent supposedly formed an important part of prince mustafa’s force, which the same author estimates at around 30,000 men, and which formed the left flank of mehmed ii’s army at the battle of başkent (11 august 1473)." Not the number for the entire army of Mehmed II nor for this battle. We need another source. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 20:14, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, if you read what I wrote, you will find the cited figure was not from this battle in the first place. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 20:21, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Super Dromaeosaurus, maybe you can find an academic source for the number of Ottoman army. Then it would be no more speculations. OrionNimrod (talk) 11:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Army 

message: I've just recovered a dead link that was used for the strength of the Moldovian forces (and corrected the figure to the source). I'm sure Jurnalul Național is a generally reliable source but is there not an academic source that deals with the different army strengths. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 22:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Are there any other sources about the Ottoman army strength because 90.000-150.000 seem to be a big exaggeration. Semihas1234 (talk) 12:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numbers 

message: 30,000 is very exaggerated. According to modern estimates, the total Ottoman army in battle was 30,000 men. 2001:1C02:2C3A:7900:6945:11F6:8F78:8790 (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
