[edit] Cleomenean War

This article has under gone a WPMILHIST peer review and a copy edit over the last few days and I have addressed most of the issues and I would like to hear what needs to improved and see whether or not the article is of A-class standard. Kyriakos 23:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. I believe that it meets the criteria, but I have a few suggestions:
    • Combine your mid-sentence citations at the end of the sentence. Mid-sentence citations interrupt the flow of the prose.
    • Use image altering software, if available to you, to draw the routes and moves taken by the involved armies on the Peloponnese maps you have in the article.
    • Since you have three maps of the area of operations early in the article, you might consider replacing one of them with another type of image, such as a picture of a Spartan hoplite or other type of involved combatant.
  • Good work on an interesting and well-organized article. Cla68 23:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Reply. OK, I have removed all the mid-sentence citations and has replaced a map with an image of a hoplite. Kyriakos 10:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Meets all the criteria. Prose reads well, well cited, excellent article. Woodym555 01:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Looks great. LordAmeth 01:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support looks fine, but as Cla68 pointed out, having the same citation pop up after every sentence is a little overkill, once at the end of the paragraph should be fine. The section Battle of Ladoceia and Reforms looks the weakest to me, mostly, the prose could use improvement. Burzmali 02:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support All criteria are met. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
