[edit] Titles, Merging, and Summary style

Why does Siege of Antioch (1268) get parentheses in its name, but not this article? --Smack (talk) 05:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Popularity. --Stbalbach 06:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
And it was written first. It might be better to set it up like Siege of Jerusalem, since 1097-98 and 1268 aren't the only sieges (at least I imagine they aren't...it's a very old city). Adam Bishop 06:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it might be better to build a Wikipedia:Summary style page with all the battles and sieges (maybe as "Battles of Antioch on the Orontes" to follow the usual title form), with each detail article using "(date)". Easy to handle! And Battle of Antioch could easily be merged.
--William Allen Simpson 14:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additional info

In the battle to break the second siege, the seventh rushed detachment was lead by "Rinaldo di Toul" according to an italian source. The name should be translated as "Rainald of Toul". I've been unable to find a reliable Italian to english translation of the name, else the information could be added in the main article.--Worthstream 16:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

  • The lead section just barely qualifies for GA status.
  • It would be a plus if the paragraph starting with The success at Antioch was too much for Peter's skeptics. ... be footnoted in order to better see where it is from since no references were added to further ascertain the fact. Lincher 14:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Reasons for GA Delisting

This article's GA status has been revoked because it fails criterion 2. b. of 'What is a Good Article?', which states;

(b) the citation of its sources using inline citations is required (this criterion is disputed by editors on Physics and Mathematics pages who have proposed a subject-specific guideline on citation, as well as some other editors — see talk page).

[edit] Disambiguation page

What happened to the disambig page? Antioch was besieged in 1084. Tourskin 02:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strength

Battle by R.G. Grant gives 25,000 Crusaders and 75,000 Seljuks & allies. Tourskin 21:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ygo III Galama

I've added this man, who was a fearsome warrior and mighty count. He died at this battle, and although he was not high in rank, he was allready famous before joining the crusade. -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 18:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

He is suspected as a hoax. Srnec 19:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
