Lithuanian Crusade


I recently translated large swathes of this article from Italian wikipedia (it:Crociata lituana). It was well sourced, but after doing an initial copy edit of my translation, I'm worried that either there are sections missing from the article or ones that should be taken out or drastically reduced. For example, there's a lot of overlap with some Lithuanian/Teutonic Order history articles like Christianization of Lithuania or Livonian Crusade and I'm not sure whether the page exhibits WP:Summary Style well enough.

Any other comments are welcome as well—thanks! — Wingedserif (talk) 03:16, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * The lede of the article is there to summarize its contents, it does not have to be referenced.


 * Double check if the coats of arms and flags in the infobox are historically accurate.


 * There are multiple sentences across the article that are not referenced.


 * The referencing style is not consistent across the article. For example Reference 1 only lists author name and title, some references list publishing location while others don't. Some references are not in English, a translation of their title needs to be provided.


 * I think the Background and Aftermath sections of the Timeline are extraneous.


 * The Historiography section needs expansion. How did the perception of the conflict change over the years? The conflict's coverage in Soviet/Polish/Western historiography is not mentioned at all.--Catlemur (talk) 16:50, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi,, thanks so much for your feedback. I had a quick question for more detail on where to improve the article: on your third point, you say that there are unreferenced sentences in the article, but per WP:WTC, not every sentence needs a citation as long as its verifiable. Were there certain statements or kinds of statements in the article that you felt were surprising/dubious/etc enough that they need citation? Thanks, — Wingedserif (talk) 18:04, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I was talking about standalone sentences or paragraphs that do not end with a reference.--Catlemur (talk) 18:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
