Talk:Battle of Kinugasa Castle

Comments left by AfC reviewers

• Comment: Could be notable, but still has some editorial issues. Azuma Kagami should not be the only source for inline citations, as this has seemingly caused the page to be written like a story instead of an encyclopedia article. Two sentences which give me pause are:
  "While the rest of the Miura clan abandoned the Castle, the 89-year-old Miura Yoshiaki remained behind. The Miura retainers, reluctant to leave Yoshiaki behind", - the Miura retainers did or did not abandon the castle at the beginning, if the rest did? Why are we just finding out about Yoshiaki's age? This information seems to also be partially duplicated via the excerpt taken from the Azuma Kagami just above. And, it is already a bit of a tangent, as this text is supposed to be about a battle. I'll tidy it a bit for now, but it still might need more trimming.
  "On October 2nd, the army, with Toyoshima Kiyomoto and Kiyoshige, father and son, also joining Yoritomo's camp, now numbering over 30,000 elite soldiers at this point, cross the [rivers]..." - This is the section I'm not quite sure what to do with. To me it seems the chronology is getting a bit lost, as the article makes frequent cutaways to explain who is the son of the wife of who. This is the first time that either Kiyomoto or Kiyoshige are mentioned in this article, are they important to mention by name? Not sure, I'll leave that up to you.
  I'd recommend doing another grammar-check because I found a good number of fixes still, and it looks like there's still a bit more to do. Almost there though! Good luck. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I'd wager the "89-year-old Miura Yoshiaki" aspect is fixed; I just combined the important bits from each sentence, which saves some space on the page. Still unsure what to do with the chronology and organization. only the names relevant to the overarching context of the battle should be included; it is confusing to namedrop individuals who don't appear anywhere else in the text, especially without a source / wikilink / existing article to refer to.

• Comment: Needs a good amount of copyediting & grammar fixing still before this can be accepted. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 14:47, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
