Talk:Battle

message: Hello, 
After reading this article I decided to share with you my thoughts.
It feels that this article is overwhelmingly pro-English.  The importance of the English battles is overinflated at the expense of continental Europe and the great battles fought in Asia.  After all England is an island country and most known for her naval battles.
I also wish there is more balance between the battles fought in the so-called "west" and "east".
There are three pictures, with two of them representing English battles (Gibraltar 1607 and Waterloo 1815) and the third battle (Gettysburg 1863) where both sides of the conflict spoke English.
I would rather replace the picture of Waterloo (Napoleon in 1815 was much weaker than in earlier years, and France was alone) with the battle of Stalingrad (Germany was in its peak of military might
and occupying almost the whole continent).  I would also suggest to replace the picture of the little known battle of Gibraltar with battle of a greater significance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Little Bison (talk • contribs) 14:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have moved this old comment to a separate section because it does not relate to the topic of the previous section and address the question with an example that appears relevant. I plan to do a little work on this article; it needs it. So I thought straightening out the talk page would be a minor start. Donner60 (talk) 03:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

message: during a battle, it was said if a soldier retreat, the supervisor can execute (kill) the soldier right away. Can someone talk about this in the article?  Jack Zhp 16:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

message: In editing the Armoured warfare article, I found it necessary to add that it was prompted by the desire to return to 19th century manoeuvre warfare and the idea of "decisive battle", this being reson d'être for the manoeuvre warfare. It would seem to me that there needs to be a separate article on the "decisive battle", because it illustrates more then singular events in history.--Mrg3105 (talk) 01:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Typical battle site, for fully planned (forcing a pass) or only one-sidedly planned (ambush-type) battle. Several famous examples with major implications, see Thermopylae, Yarmuk, Alps both ways, etc. Of national importance or fame see Persian Gate, Posada, Moyry and Deputy's Pass, Mitla, etc. The passing of Aruna Pass before the Battle of Megiddo is also worth a mention, as it is essential to the first battle in history we have written evidence for. This type of military event is so common, it would deserve an article of its own and a mention on the battle page.
Just search here on Wikipedia for Battle of Pass, and you get hundreds of articles.
Similarly: see battle for sea straits, such as the hugely important one at Salamis, the more obscure one at the Denmark Strait and many more. Arminden (talk) 06:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
