[edit] Medieval hunting

Self-nom. I think it's a well-written article. Please make suggestions. 80.111.96.99 03:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Object. It is a well-written article, but it limits itself to Western Europe for no apparent reason. The name implies a broader scope. Remember that we're writing for a global audience. I might support if the title is brought in line with the contents or vice versa. — mark ✎ 13:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: the term medieval is in itself in most cases reserved for Western Europe. Other areas of the world operate with different categorisations. There could perhaps be a stronger emphasis on Eastern and Northern Europe, but for the most part the nobility of these regions emulated the court culture of Western Europe (the exception would have to be the Byzantine Empire). 80.203.101.24 14:22, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• The article name and scope are appropriate, the objection is without merit. Medieval means Europe, and hunting (along with most things related to nobility) meant doing it the French way. User:Stbalbach

• Comment. The article is pretty good. I think it could be better with additional people. I would recommend it follow the path to Featured Article by first getting a Wikipedia:Peer review, then move to a vote once its had more attention. User:Stbalbach
