Talk:Battle of Lade

film

Herodotus, 6.11-6.16. Dionysius's speech thtough the desctruction of the Samians, seems like it would make a good film. Are there any films covering this period? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.718281828plus (talk • contribs) 20:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Battle of Lade/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

1. It is reasonably well written:

   Not Yet

   1. Longdashes should not have any spaces between them. Any normal dashes (-) in the text should be replaced with longdashes (—).

Done

1. 1. There are a number of typos and other grammatical errors thoughout the prose. I recommend it recieve a copy-edit, preferably by a third party (but you could do this yourself as well).

Ah, yes. Whoops. I've gone through and removed everything I could find (including my shocking inability to type "contingent" properly).

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable:

   Not Yet

   1. "Herodotus gives the order of the Ionian battle line as being, from east to west; Miletus – Priene – Myus – Teos – Chios – Erythraea – Phocaea – Lesbos – Samos." -needs a ref.

Done

1. 1. The big quote in the "Prelude" section ""Men of Ionia, let each one of you now show..." needs a ref.

Done##Per WP:FOOT, the refs should be in the form of "Name, p. #" Some of them are in this format, but not all of them.

Done

1. 1. All of the refs need to be put into {{cite book}} format.

Done

1. It is broad in its coverage:

   Pass No problems there.

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy:

   Pass

3. It is stable:

   Pass No problems there.

4. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:

   Pass No problems there.

5. Overall:

   On Hold while a few stylistic issues are addressed. -Ed!^(talk) 03:50, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. The article now meets the GA criteria, according to my interpretation of them. Well done! Ed!^(talk) 13:19, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Triremes

About the bit that said Athens and the Eretrians sent men in 25 ships in 498 B.C:

The referenced secondary mentions only 20 "ships".

Indeed, Athens as a state procured its first triremes from Corinth only at the end of the decade. These 20 would more likely, if fighting craft at all, have been the 50-oared pentekonters that were the Archaic Greek workhorse.

Thoughts?

Casualties

What is the source for the numbers shown on "Casualties and losses"? Alagos (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Result: Speedy delist due to overwhelming consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Massive citation issues (reliability of sources, lack of inline citations, reliance on one source). Fails criterion 2 any day. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:28, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delist. The article is a paraphrase of Herodotus. T8612 (talk) 00:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
• Delist. Concurred with T8612. Ifly6 (talk) 01:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
• Heavy reliance on single primary source. The initial History section lacks any citation. Can't see it still meets modern GA standard . Monstrelet (talk) 08:58, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
• Aside from the sourcing questions – both the overreliance on direct citations to Herodotus, and some uncited claims which really need referencing – the lead is surely far too short to meet criterion 1b. By far the main editor, MinisterForBadTimes, hasn't edited wikipedia in nearly a decade, so unless someone else picks this up for rescuing I suspect it'll need delisting. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 16:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
• Delist Large chunks of unsourced content and a commendable effort to be entirely made up of one primary source. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:23, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
• Delist - not close to the modern standards for GA. Hog Farm _Talk 18:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
