Rus'-Byzantine War (860)

The article is somewhat short, but its content is quite comprehensive. Any suggestions towards improving the article? Deucalionite 16:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how much this helps, but one thing that struck me as confusing is that the opening sentence describes this war as "the only major military expedition of the Rus' Khaganate recorded in Byzantine and Western European sources" -- yet when recounting the history of this war (if a raid upon Constantinople & the neighboring area could be described as a "war"), only the Byzantine sources are used. The Western European sources aren't mentioned until the section "Later traditions". Either the sentence or the account of the war needs to be re-written. BTW, I'm not sure "Criticism" is the best choice for the title of that section. -- llywrch 21:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
