Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bruttedius Niger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaius Asinius Pollio (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Deletion discussion about Antonia (daughter of orator Marcus Antonius)

edit

Hello, Oskar71,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Antonia (daughter of orator Marcus Antonius) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Antonia (daughter of orator Marcus Antonius) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Catherine of Luxembourg-Saint-Pol may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • * M. Prévost: ''Catherine 7) de Luxembourg''. In: ''Dictionnaire de Biographie française'', vol. 7 (1956), col. 1417-1418.

You're right, my fault. Given the IP's previous edit, I thought this one was a vandalism too. Khruner (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Battle of Yarmouk

edit

If you have a concerns of the troops involved in this battle, please take it to the article talk page.

Also, per the article:

  • Modern estimates for Roman army:
  • Donner (1981): 100,000.
  • Britannica (2007): "More than 50,000 byzantine soldiers died".
  • Nicolle (1994): 100,000.
  • Akram (1970): 150,000.
  • Kaegi (1995): 15,000–20,000
  • Mango, Cyril (2002). The Oxford History of Byzantium: 80,000.

Note, Kaegi's estimate of Byzantine troops at the battle, which is what I have restored. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:54, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks. I was not well informed about this. --Oskar71 (talk) 10:59, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
