[edit] rename?

Could i be so bold as to propose a renaming of this section to a more simplistic format? Such as Fall of the Byzantine Empire? Similar to Decline of the Roman Empire? I find the usage of all the determinants "for the fall of the" to be a waste of space and a harder article title ot search up should on not know its name before hand. Discussion and opitions are most appreaciated.--Dryzen 15:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

How about 'Decline of the Byzantine Empire'? That would seem to fit. I suppose the only question is whether to include more information on what happened during the decline, as opposed to just 'why' it happened, if you see what I mean? Bigdaddy1204 19:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I hold no arguments against Decline of the Byzantine Empire. Since where on the subject of its fall, might has well not be picky, we have the room for it and I find it best to keep all this information in one place, lets speak of the events and concequences as well as the causes. What are your thoughts?--Dryzen 19:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes I think this is a good idea. Moved! Bigdaddy1204 20:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
