Talk:Gunpowder artillery in the Middle Ages

message: I'm passing this article. Good job. I see the comments about using the term "Middle Ages" to describe Asia, which I agree is incorrect, but I also don't think that should hold up this GA review. There may be a better title to use and I hope that you will build a consensus to find it. Otherwise, looks good to me. JRP 00:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :... The first definite use of artillery in the region was against the Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1396, as the attackers did not yet have any gunpowder of their own. These loud Byzantine weapons, possibly operated by the Genoese or "Franks" of Galata, forced the Turks to withdraw.[14]
:The Turks started to use cannons against a Crusader army in Kosovo in 1389, but there are some records of Anatolian Seljuks used cannon against Mongols in the Battle of Kosedag.
The dates in these two parts are contradictory.  If in 1396 the Ottomans did not yet have gunpowder, how did they use cannons before that, in 1389?  Should that be 1398?  1399?  1489? -Bbik★ 01:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have nominated Cannon in the Middle Ages for Tzatzikification, to bring it up to the same standard as the similarly named section in the Cannon article.  There was some talk of doing this earlier, but I think we have to admit that it will never get done unless we include it in the list.  The way I see it, it isn't necessary to take it as far as FA status. I think aiming for A-class is enough to keep it as an interesting project, agreed?  --Grimhelm (talk) 18:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
