 * Mention Tipps's full name just as you did with Bagnall.
 * I would like to, but they don't ever seem to have published or been referred to as anything other than "G.K.". The internet simply doesn't have a full name.


 * Note 5 is unrefenrenced.
 * Fixed.


 * Did the battle take place in 255 BC or  256 BC? The infobox and lede contradict each other.
 * My typo. Apologies. Fixed. Thanks.

Done.
 * "The Carthaginians pursuing chased the Roman force off the hill" - reword this sentence.
 * The infobox claims that there were probably 15,000+ Carthaginians, this is not mentioned explicitly in the Armies section.
 * Amended to the correct figure of 16,000+. The armies section states "the Carthaginians fielded 100 elephants, 4,000 cavalry and 12,000 infantry". It seems insulting to the reader to add "which totals over 16,000."
