Greco-Persian Wars[edit]

I have remedied the weaknesses pointed out in the peer-review and I hope it is worthy of A-class status. I would also like to to know what more in necessary for FA-status. I hope the arguments I have added to the large number theory for Xerxes troops are not considered POV-pushingIkokki 00:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Although there are some minor format issues, I understand that those do not constitute a substantive objection at this stage. Carom 03:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: "in both cases, the Greeks united successfully to defeat the invasions." in the header is simply wrong. Take any decent book on the topic, the Greeks split up in a supporting faction and an opposing one. The opposing one defeated the Persians and the supporters.

  • Object several sections lack citations, and there's also a mixture of inline web links and regular ref style --plange 03:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The sections that lack references are the lead section, Importance of Marathon (that has a quote though) and later conflicts. As for the mix, I would have made the links ref style but I do not know how.Ikokki 13:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, although it will need a lot of work before making FAC... -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 13:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Length, pictures, maps, section divisions, excellent introduction, tons of references & inline citations, and incredible detail. My only one gripe - at least once in the introduction, the article writes "What we know of this conflict" when I think it would be better, encyclopedically, to write "What is known of this conflict to scholarship" or "What scholars know of this conflict..." Who is "we"? LordAmeth 01:49, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The "we" is actually a common impersonal form used in Greek. Obviously in English it is bad form, thank you that you pointed this to fix it.Ikokki 12:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I love the impersonal "we". I use it all the time. Just not in this context. Sorry. LordAmeth 13:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
