Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 23:03, 21 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Cirta; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The archived version only has page 207 for me, but this just went through GA so I trust it. I would suggest one change to the hook: wikilink Syphax. Otherwise, looks good to me. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Evening Cap'n, and thank you. It's an on line library, so you can "borrow" the book and read the whole thing if you want. But, yeah, you can trust it. The article will shortly be on its way to FAC, and you have possibly heard what the coordinators there are like about sourcing! Gog the Mild (talk) 23:53, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Speaking of which CaptainEek, when might FAC expect to be graced again with one of your nominations? Gog the Mild (talk) 22:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

- Gog the Mild, Well I was hoping to take Gallic Wars but it has way too much citation work :( I tried to take it to A but it just didn't work out. But I'm working on Capture of Columbia, which I think will be FA worthy! CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
