Talk:Byzantine army (Palaiologan era)

Going to add new additions soon
I have placed the proselantai and thelematarioi in this article as I ran on stark information on these frontier troops, especially with the books I have read. But with much information I have received, there will be new additions coming to this article, like artillery, armour, weapons and the like. If anyone would like to contribute to this article then I'll be most glad, especially an old article like this needs to have major up-to-date. And in all honesty, this is not a very good article to tell you the truth. I have come across many texts, books, and others on Nicaean and palaiologan byzantine warfare by which I'am truly surprised. But please, with your help. Help me to update this article, as new information comes or are recently found, then please put it on here. xherin comment added 02:26, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The article needs improvement, but it is not "improved" by adding semi-erroneous information in poor English. I don't doubt you mean well, but you need to read up more on the issue and stick close to your sources (which you should also reference), and not simply write what you remember from them. For instance, the Prosalentai were sailors, the Thelematarioi were not frontier troops, and this article is about the Palaiologan-era army, i.e. post-Nicaean Empire, so any reference to "Nicaean frontiers" is beside the point. You introduced the same jumbled mix of terms and periods in the East Roman army article, where you referred to 9th and 10th-century practices on an article whose purview ends in the mid-7th century. In short, your edits, in so far as they are inaccurate, do more harm than good and will be reverted. It is better to have a bare-bones article rather than one filled with inaccuracies.

 * Will you help me in doing this, yes it was reckless of me and I apologize for, But as I now know. Will you help improve these two articles. xherin — Preceding undated comment added 13:30, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
