Talk:Gascon campaign of 1345

"Whirlwind" campaign
Hi Aforst1. Many thanks for all of your edits on the Hundred Years' War articles. However, can I suggest that you be cautious about making substantive changes in featured articles. Case in point: whirlwind campaign. Personally I agree with you, which is why I used the word "whirlwind" when I wrote the article. This was commented upon at FAC by and so I changed it. Changing it back simply because you think it "sounded better" is liable to be seen as going against consensus. It would be better if you wish to make changes to FAs to flag them up on the talk page, pinging potentially interested editors and seek agreement. Cheers.

 * What do the sources call it? That should determine it, otherwise we are just making our own original interpretations, which is iffy. FunkMonk (talk) 06:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Main page appearance
This is to let people know that this article has been scheduled as today's featured article for December 17, 2019, and specifically paging the FAC nominator(s),. It would be good if someone checked that the article needs no amendments. The main page blurb text can be viewed and edited at Today's featured article/December 17, 2019.—Wehwalt (talk) 07:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

How much wine?
The article contains the following, "Before the war commenced well over 1,000 ships a year departed Gascony. Among their cargoes were over 200000000 imppt of wine. (refs: Rodger 2004 pp=xix–xx, 79; Curry 2002 p=40)", which has been copy/pasted into a number of articles. I have edited it because it is wrong in several ways; it is OR, relies on a synthesis of the sources, and gives the wrong amount anyway. This was discussed at length a couple of years ago, but the wrong information is still here, so I have fixed it, here and elsewhere. I don’t expect everyone to be happy about this, but unless there is a reliable source that supports the previous assertion, I do expect the changes to stand.
