These citations seem to fit well from these two publications. I will try to find the last needed reference to the combat between Murat and Mustafa, and hopefully add it soon. Comments?--Paraballo (talk) 04:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

The casualties of the Turks amount to 18,000. The article says they only had 16,000. Why? 208.59.171.27 (talk) 14:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Just noticed the same thing. The captured number must also include some of the wounded, 2,000 to be exact. Or they revived some of the dead. Either way, we need to fix these stats.Tubbyty (talk) 04:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I fixed the table, but not the body of the article. I found two books online, both have around 13,000 casualties, significantly higher than what is currently stated. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the reference cited for most of the body. Anyone help?Tubbyty (talk) 04:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
