"Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (780–782)"
what do you think about turning the two final paragraphs of the "Background" section into two sections, "Campaign of 780" and "Campaign of 781" and retitling the article (and rejigging the first paragraph) to combine the three campaigning seasons into one? I ask because I want to link to Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (781), but I'm not sure a separate article is warranted. This article has the basic info, but a reader arriving here from there will be confused. Srnec (talk) 00:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi the problem AFAIK is that the 780 and 781 campaigns are not covered in detail in the sources, and they are just some among a sequence of back-and-forth raiding from both sides. I focused on the 782 campaign (and the 806 one) because they are treated in much detail. I would therefore not rename the article as it stands; on the Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (781), first I would not use that name (the invasion was limited to a relatively shallow penetration into Cappadocia and featured one major engagement, hence possibly Battle of Caesarea (781) might be appropriate? but I haven't seen this term used anywhere...) but second I agree that a stand-alone article is superfluous. Where do you want to use the link? Constantine   ✍  11:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I am working on an article on the failed Byzantine attempt to install Adelchis as king of the Lombards in 788. (Current working title "Byzantine invasion of Calabria (788)", but I don't like it.) John, the victor of 781, was captured and killed after the 788 battle. I don't think an article on John is warranted, but I want to link somehow to this other article on Wikipedia that mentions him.
