[edit] Requested move

Battle of the Granicus (334) to move to Battle of the Granicus (334 BC) and delete the first one with the Battle of the Granicus as a redirect to the second one. Sorry, I goofed on the moves; I've been away a while. jaknouse 16:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• Propose no move

• Proposed move to "Battle of the Granicus (334 BC)"

• Proposed move to "Battle of the Granicus"
  • Support this alternative and oppose other options. As there is no other battle on Wilipedia with that name there is no need to to have moved the page name to a name which includes the year. redirects can take care of any index concerns which jaknouse has Philip Baird Shearer 19:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, move it back to Granicus, assuming no other battles took place there. Adam Bishop 16:41, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 19:14, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

The guidelines Wikipedia:WikiProject_Battles#Article title do not recommend using years for battles. Nor does WP:NC. Philip Baird Shearer 19:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinates

Is it possible to get coordinates for the location of the battle? Mmace91 00:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

No - nobody knows the exact location
