If you do not have data that those projectiles which broke the Theodosian Walls were thrown for 1.497km (or so), and weighed 498.9kg (or so), then those "500 kilograms" are "1000 pounds", and "1.5 kilometres" are "1 mile" - because "500 kilograms" and "1.5 kilometres" clearly look like approximations
There are no valid sources talking about 1500 imaginary Serbian Cavalry helping in the battle. Why has it still not been removed? Even if there were Serbs taking part in the battle they were taking part as Ottoman Janissaries.
I've just edited this article to fix an sfn multiple-target error, and in the process noted that the article uses several forms of reference for "reused" sources with different page numbers: {{sfn}}, {{rp}} and unformatted shortened footnotes (e.g. this reference). Which format should we standardize on? If we reach a consensus here I am happy to do the legwork to convert the references to a common format. My personal preference would be {{sfnp}}, which is similar to the unformatted shortened footnotes but with a link, but the most used style in the article currently is probably {{rp}}.

Since nobody has chimed up here in a week and a bit, I shall go with sfnp. Best, Wham2001 (talk) 18:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What an exaggeration. How did Mehmed have such numbers? There weren't even such numbers in janissary corps' peak. Can someone find proper sources? Looks like such a mess. Beshogur (talk) 14:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
