[edit] Contradiction

Its no stub, but its contradicting itself. It says its a Republican victory with the date ending in dec 1936. Yet the beginning of the article goes on as does the main body beyond 1936 and onto its fall on 1939. So its really a Nationalist victory. Its alot like say "The siege of Troy", ignoring the possibility that it may not have existed, it was still a Greek victory, even though the initial assault was a failure.Tourskin 04:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

This is a fair point. Initially the battlebox was attached to the section 'the battle for madrid', of november to december 1936, so 'republican victory' was accurate, although you could also say that this battle was a stalemate. However the siege as a whole could probably do with a new battlebox, that would say 'nationalist victory'. Jdorney 16:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Victory or Defeat?

Which was it? It says it was a defeat but the Nationalists maintained the siege and took over the city eventually, so it's a victory -Zulu, King Of The Dwarf People 13:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I like the new change; it is more precise. Thank you to whoever did it...Zulu, King Of The Dwarf People 04:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
