Cretan War edit
I have been improving this article over since it was first made and I want to see how I can improve it and what can be done to tidy it up. Kyriakos 07:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Kirill Lokshin edit
Some general points:
- Inline citations are a sine qua non for articles now.
- Some images would be nice.
- The lead section should be expanded.
More generally, the article seems quite short. Any additional material that could be added to it would be quite helpful. Kirill Lokshin 00:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Ikokki edit
I assume that the main literary source for this war is Polybius. He is available in English at http://www.Perseus.tufts.edu so that you can improve the article and add citations. You can add images from wikimedia, like for example a satellite picture of Crete. Other than that:
- What led to the battle of Lade? Who fought and with how many ships? A dedicated paragraph can only help
- When did the fleets form, what did they do before and after the battles?
- What were the terms of the peace treaty?
I hope I helped somewhat Ikokki 23:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Gaius Cornelius edit
This is a period I find interesting, but I am no expert.
- As previously mentioned, the article seems quite short, if this is because little is known about this topic and the article does represent a good summary of what is known then that should be explained.
- There should be some scope for more internal wiki links.
- If you have any ambitions for your aticle, in-line citations are a must.
