Untitled[edit]

The sentence that is tagged with footnote number 8 makes no sense whatever. It makes it sound like King Amalric decided to serve under Saladin, an historical absurdity. Who is the "he" that the sentence refers to? Was the sentence moved so that it is no longer in context? Djmaschek (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article has a lot of information, but it needs serious editing. Here's another bad sentence. "Nur al-Din organized the battle strategy on the Muslim side." How could he, since he was in Syria at the time? I just added the Fatimid-Crusader War Campaignbox and made a few changes, but more needs to be done. Djmaschek (talk) 03:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
