Comment. Alt text done; thanks. Alt text is mostly present (thanks) but has a few problems:
File:Albrecht Altdorfer 037.jpg lacks alt text.The alt text for File:BattleofIssus333BC-mosaic-detail1.jpg doesn't do justice to that image. I'd mention the Medusa breastplate, the wavy dark hair, and the determined look.The alt text "A military diagram" is too terse; it should briefly say what the map says, excluding info in the caption, to avoid repetition. Topics might include the location of Parmanian, Orientals, Greeks, and Darius. Please see WP:ALT#Maps for a guideline.The alt text for File:BattleofIssusDetail11.jpg should briefly mention the most striking part of that image, namely the fluttering reddish drapery. Or perhaps the drapery should be cropped out, if it's not relevant?

- I've done all but the last. I considered cropping out the drapery, but I felt the image would turn out too small. As an incidental feature, I don't think it's worth mentioning in the alt text. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Thanks for finishing the alt text. Eubulides (talk) 08:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

- For example, "Sacks, David; Murray, Oswyn; Bunson, Margaret (1997)." is cited as "Sacks, p. 14" when it should be cited as "Sacks; Murray; Bunston, p. 14", this is true of other multiple author works in your short cites (Corvisier, André; Childs, John (1994). Hagen, Rose-Marie; Hagen, Rainer (2003). Hanawalt, Barbara; Kobialka, Michal (2000). Heckel, Waldemar; Yardley, John (2004). Janson, Horst W.; Janson, Anthony F.
