Talk:Siege of Aiguillon

ACR
Hi. You were kind enough to assess this at GAN. It is now going through an ACR and I wondered if you might feel like having a look at it again? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:19, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I am happy to take another look. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 00:12, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Biblio
Tidied references, changed date to year, hyphenated isbns, rm overlinking dup check, auto ed, revised EngvarB. All suggestive, rv as desired. PS do the references have to be in more than one column? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 07:18, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . Thank you for your usual excellent job of tidying the article up. Regarding the references being in two columns and indented, this is a deliberate decision and is intended to help those, like me, whose eyesight is past its youthful apogee. As I said to Peacemaker when he raised a very similar point about this at an FAC:

"This is genuinely intended to be helpful for the reader. It may, again, be my failing eyesight, but I struggle with Wikipedia's bullet pointed bibliographies. I will scan up and down with my eye not picking out the one I want, especially when there are several works by the same or, worse, similarly named, author(s). I have seen indention used in several articles and use it in mine when the number of references goes over 12-15. I find that with most or all of the relevant surnames protruding it is much easier to pick out the one wanted. I would actually like this to be generally adapted as good practice as an accessibility issue."

More than happy to debate the approaches pros and cons. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:52, 11 January 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 was still here, so I have fixed it, here and elsewhere. Moonraker12 (talk) 17:36, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
