blurb comment
A first reader here. 1. Explaining the battling parties in one sentence is hard indeed: " 'Anglo-Gascon' = loose 30k readers at half sentence. 2. "French" OTOH I recognise, good. I suggest, like: "The Battle of Auberoche (located xxx in modern France) ...". Or: "fought between French and Anglo-xx, explained)" -DePiep (talk) 22:23, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . Good point, thanks. I wrote the article, but not the blurb. But I can see that there is a lot of pressure to loose information because of the strict character limit. I "spend" 50 characters explaining Anglo-Gascons means that 50 characters have to go elsewhere. Nevertheless my first thought is that we boobed through being too close to the article. I shall see how succinct I can make an explanation. Please feel free to come back if I mess it up. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
