[edit] WP:MilHist Assessment

A nicely written article, this seems, upon a quick scan, to cover the majority of what I'd imagine one would need to say on the subject. But this needs a picture. While I like all articles to have pictures, it is particularly essential for an article on a particular style or type of weapon with a distinctive appearance. Words can only describe it so well, especially if the reader has never heard of a shamshir or a kilic. I think this article also needs to have some further explanation of the terms used; I am an Asian studies major, with a focus on classical/feudal military history, and I do not recognize more than half the terms used here. Clarity to the average, uninformed, reader is the goal here. Proper, technical, and accurate terminology is essential to a good article, but so is clarity. LordAmeth 02:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
