Anti-Turkish POV in the article
Is not there a little too much anti-Turkish nationalist POV in this article? "Killing, looting, pillaging and burning" claimed on the Ottoman Turks without using a reliable source. I prefer local editors from the area eliminate those POVs themselves; --E4024 (talk) 20:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Why anti-Turkish nationalist POV? Do you possibly think the Ottoman Turks went to Paxoi for a sight-seeing tour? During that era looting, burning and killing were the order of the day. Even the crusaders did that to Constantinople. I'm sure the Ottomans did their fair share of these acts like everybody else. So please, again, stop maligning editors based on their nationality. I thought you were making progress in that department but I see now that you resumed. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 21:47, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Quality
I've been struggling to organize this article better. It says the same things multiple times (e.g. that Angelokastro is strategic), yet doesn't have a coherent chronology. Why does the History section start with the Angevins, not the Byzantines? When was the Byzantine castle built and what evidence do we have for that? etc. --Macrakis (talk) 15:29, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Short answer: nobody knows definitively although there are indications from the excavations that it was already in existence between 5-7th century A.D. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  16:54, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The History section starts with the Angevins because the Byzantines are mentioned earlier in the strategic importance section and I haven't found too much more information about Angelokastro during the Byzantine era that I can add to the article.

Source
A.W. Lawrence's "Skeletal History of Byzantine Fortification" references A. Orlandos, Archeion tōn Byzantinōn Mnimeiōn tis Ellados 9 (1961) 54 figs 2,4. It isn't clear from the reference how much detail Orlandos goes into. I will try to find a copy. --Macrakis (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
