Battle of Red Cliffs[edit]

  • Have been working (along with others, notably User:Deadkid_dk) to improve this article, and could use some extra eyes. Hope to get it to FA quality within the next 6 or 8 weeks.
  • Would like the entire article to reflect WP:MILHIST structure for "battle of" articles. Am not a member; this article intersects with my interest in Taiwan and China.
  • Later sections not as well referenced as earlier ones; can get to that..
  • Question: Three advisors described the military situation before the battle; their assessments were flawless. At least one of these assessment stories may be apocryphal. Should the details of the assessment be scattered throughout the article & not specifically attributed to the advisors (that is the present format), or a separate paragraph or two be dedicated simply to their assessments & then the assessments revisited later (e.g., "all of the assessments turned out to be correct...")? If we move the assessment to its own chunk, the current "analysis" section will look a bit gutted...

Kyriakos[edit]

Good article but there are still some matters that need fixing:

  • First, the article does not even have on citation. This needs to be fixed as you are looking to get the article FA it is essential.
  • My other point is that you should get rid of the see also section.

OK, I hope this helps. Kyriakos 21:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, but this article uses the Harvard citation style, so citations are present. _dk 04:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
