Talk:Russo-Turkish War (1735–1739)

Latest comment: 3 months ago by Annwfwn in topic Infobox results

Too much propaganda. This article has to be rewritten. (unsigned by anon)

Please be more specific, or just go ahead and rewrite it. -Irpen 06:30, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
One can but agree with anon. Let me be more specific about the propaganda!! This article has been joined with the article on the 1735-1739 Austria-Ottoman Wars and totally ignores the Austrian advances and then a series of defeats, just giving in a single sentence on a series of disastrous defeats. The defeats of the Austrian armies at Bucharest, Battle of Banja Luka (August 1737) and further at Battle of Grocka (July 1739) and the retaking by Ottomans of Belgrade after a siege are totally missed.Noyder (talk) 18:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sources failing WP:V edit

@Patrockk:
Three journal articles used as sources do not appear in the journals listed.

As seen here. There is no article by Aksan, Virginia H. "The Ottoman Empire and the Russian Frontier, 1739-1742." The International History Review 11, no. 3 (1989): 481-502. Instead:

As seen here or here There is no article by Fisher, Alan W. "The Russo-Turkish War of 1735-1739 " The Slavonic and East European Review 37, no. 90 (1959): 321-339. Instead:

As seen here there is no article by Kafadar, Cemal. "The Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century: Tradition and Change in a Muslim Society." The Journal of Asian Studies 41, no. 3 (1982): 561-583. Instead:

These sources;

  • Ortaylı, İlber. The Ottoman Empire and the World Around It.
  • Davies, Norman. Europe: A History.
  • The Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, 1710-1922, by Alexander Shlyapnikov.
  • The Russo-Turkish Wars of the Eighteenth Century, by Richard B. Spence.
  • The Romanovs: 1613-1918, by Simon Sebag Montefiore.

contain no page numbers therefore fail WP:V.

A clarification of said journal articles, page numbers for the books and quotes from all these sources will resolve this issue.--Kansas Bear (talk) 02:17, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Infobox results edit

I amended the infobox per Template:Infobox_military_conflict#Parameters, which states results need to be either x victory or inconclusive. If the results do not fit into those parameters, the article should instead link to the aftermath in the text body. Annwfwn (talk) 12:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
