Someone should add a link (in the "languages" section) to the Russian version of this article, here it is: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B0_%D0%9F%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0 . Asharidu (talk) 15:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Something's wrong when there are more casualties than troops in the army
- I believe the Turks were reinforced beyond 30k before the town was fully surrounded TMLutas 21:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- I found this source [1] which is horribly biased in favor of the turks but it puts the peak end strength @ 45k effectives on the Ottoman side due to reinforcements arriving on the 22nd.

[edit] Abuse of prisoners and other matters
The following was recently added; I believe it should either be cited for, or removed:
They were subjected to a death march comparable to the Germans who surrendered at Stalingrad. Only a handful of them returned to Turkey after the war. Turks rarely took prisoners and chose to kill and mutilate any russians they captured.

Similar problems with the recently added uncited "story" added by Calengurth, who also (without citation) nearly doubled the number of casualties on the Russian/Romanian side. - Jmabel | Talk 06:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category
Khoikhoi reverted[2] the insertion of the Battles involving Romania category. May I ask what was wrong with adding that to the article? Mentatus 09:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- OK, now I get it - Petre Bolea became an unperson. Mentatus 11:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] confusion of the dates
Maybe there is a confusion of the dates? On the new calendar the fist attack was 20th July (old calendar: 8th July); the second attack was 30th July (old calendar 18th July); as far as I think the third attack was 11th September (old calendar 30. August). It lasted 3 days and the battle of the left wing is depicted on the Pleven-Panorama-Picture. I cant imagine, that the third battle lasted from 30th August till 11th September - as written in the articles. The Ottomans gave up at 10th December (old calendar 28th November) - Stefan, Germany --84.137.63.195 20:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
