[edit] Carrickfergus

Does Carrickfergus have town walls? There's a castle but surely that doesn't count Alastairward 13:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

According to this website it does indeed have town walls. Dbam ^Talk/_{Contributions} 19:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, wish they'd more detail in the tourist information article though Alastairward 14:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced tag removed

Removed this tag, because the article is a list and reference should be made to the articles themselves. Folks at 137 09:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Defensive Earthworks

What about US Civil War defensive walls? Like Vicksburg, or Atlanta? 132.205.44.5 21:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Definition of Defense

Should "Defensive" also include walls to keep out mother nature? Technically, that is defensive. If so, New Orleans would go in, as would much of Holland, due to the storm levees and dikes. Benwedge (talk) 16:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

That's a good point, but i'd say no, as the article defensive wall only covers siege/military related structures. However, the type of structures you mention may be suitable for a seperate "List of..." article, assuming one doesn't already exist. Dbam ^Talk/_{Contributions} 21:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
