Battle of Marathon[edit]

One of the most famous battles of history,the first with double envelopment. After a recent merge a section was added with religious events. Has a large lead section, every section is referenced and has several images. While some improvement is necessary before FA (I do not know how to turn links into refs) it is worth IMO of A-classIkokki 12:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oppose Not too bad but the English lets it down in places:

"Eretria was sieged and fell, and then the fleet landed in Marathon bay"

Minor support and Comment Good article, with a good overview of sources and backgrounds. The article will need some polish though and why all the hoplite pictures? I see no need to put 2 hoplite drawings, one will do to indicate the forces against Persian.--Dryzen 17:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to put pictures to make it more readable and higher in quality. These were the related pictures I found at Wikimedia Commons. That simple. By now it seems it won't pass, I'll put a request for copyedits first and then renominate Ikokki 23:27, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
