[edit] Battle of Syria

Appears to be a hoax. The external link is a wargaming site describing a match. -- Kirill Lokshin 00:03, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, Hoax. Battle from a game being portrayed as a hystorical battle. Nezu Chiza 00:18, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Nezu. Jobe6 Image:Peru flag large.png 00:46, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete hoax. Jaxl | talk 01:50, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: There were battles between the Romans and various peoples in modern-day Syria over grain, but, of course, this "article" isn't about any of that. It's just more evidence that people need to go outside to play more often. Geogre 03:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Geogre. Any battles that actually happened, probably have another name. If kept, the gaming link needs to go. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:59, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete No encyclopedic sources provided. Amren ^(talk) 16:30, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Looks so real though. -- WB 21:06, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete agreeing with Nezu Chiza and Geogre. However, disagreeing with Geogre, I assert that people need to go inside to play more often; wargames and other strategy games are useful methods to learn about historical conflicts, if the players have enough sense to avoid treating their gaming as real history or as encyclopedic content.
