Talk:Siege of Mantua (1799)

Source?
Pracically, the whole article is based on this source: Can we find out anything about the scholarly credentials of any authors? Because the source is just a newspaper article published recently. Newspapers may be a good source for recent events, but the events from such a remote history should be covered by scholarly sources, if they took place. There has been enough time for those to be written. --Irpen 21:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Various authors, Obrona Mantui, Chwała Oręża Polskiego 14 (35), Rzeczpospolita, 23 October 2006 (publication contains a map). Online version
 * Good newspapers, like Rzeczpospolita, also tend to hire out such articles to reliable historians or journalists specializing in historical articles. For example, most of this issue was written by historian Andrzej Nieuważny .--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if the author of the source is am accomplished historian whose credentials are independently established, I don't mind that this particular paper used as a source is from a newspaper (or even his personal web-site.) But just to avoid such confusion in the future, could you please add the author's name to the reference? That would solve the problem. --Irpen 21:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
