"Yoens died in 1382 and Peter van den Bossche became leader. As affairs seemed to be going badly for the revolt, Artevelde was chosen chief captain. By severe discipline and skillful tactics he defeated the Count's forces."

This text doesn't add much to an understanding of Phlip Van Artevelde. Someone called Yoens (who I hadn't encountered in my reading) is referred to without explanation. Also, from my reading it seems that Philip was hardly the success behind the revolt, more of a figurehead. I will remove this text unless some justification can be given for its retention.--Iacobus 01:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Taylor's "Philip Van Artevelde"

edit

A small matter - from the little I have picked up about citation, titles of peosm, songs, etc, are cited in quotation marks, while published works are cited with italics. Since Taylor's piece is a poem, not a publication in and of itself, I have reverted the edit by the Veronica Mars fanatic (?!?!). --Iacobus 01:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
