Article evaluation of "Actium"

Article provides information that does not relate to the battle of Actium

I am wondering how necessary is it to give details relating to Anthony and Cleopatra after the battle of Actium, it seemed very out of place considering the page should just focus on the battle itself.

My Wikipedia addition has to do with how the battle was one.

It comes from a work found on ASU online library claiming that the battle was not entire without hope for Anthony, and it was the retreat of Cleopatra's fleet that ushered in the downfall of the Battle of Actium. Lange, C. (2011). THE BATTLE OF ACTIUM: A RECONSIDERATION *. The Classical Quarterly, 61(2), 608-623.

Addition:

Ancient writers  present,  with  one  exception,  a  consistent  account  of  how  Antonius came to  lose  the  battle  of  Actium  on  2  September  31. In these  versions,  while the battle  was  still  raging,  Cleopatra  and  her  squadron  took  flight,  and  Antonius chose to  join  them.
