 * ... that the Siege of Gibraltar of 1309 was a battle of the Reconquista which saw a Castilian victory ending almost 600 years of Muslim rule over the city of Gibraltar?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was created and nominated on July 9. Hook is properly sourced (refs are offline so assumed good faith) and is interesting. QPQ Done. So, good to go. — Hahc 21  21:39, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Comment I may be missing something here, but shouldn't it be 600 years? AFAIK Gibraltar was continuously under Muslim control after 709/710 when the eponymous Tariq ibn Ziyad crossed the strait, and there was no Christian recovery of the site before the 14th century.

 * Well spotted, Tariq landed at Gibraltar in 711! It's a typo which I've now corrected. Many thanks. --Gibmetal 77 talk 2 me 14:05, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
