 * Symbol question.svg Recently promoted to GA, all good. Just need to rephrase the hook and I'll accept it, which should be more interesting like "ended after a month with a decisive Serbian victory" or whatever you like. Just mention the duration of the battle because it is also an interesting thing that there were 22,000 killed in just a month of a battle, which is not a thing we hear daily. -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 14:48, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the review. ALT1 suggested below. Oceanh (talk) 08:00, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that in the Battle of Kolubara in late 1914, which ended with a decisive Serbian victory, the Austro-Hungarians suffered about 30,000 killed, while the Serbs had 22,000 killed?
 * No no no, firstly I don't like its wording and secondly it should be less than 200 characters, even more shorter is better. Hook needs to be rephrased, do not mention the kills just put 1914 before battle's name and then mention that was ended with a decisive Serbian victory after a month of bloodshed -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 17:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
