Second Punic War and Macedonian–Carthaginian Treaty
Hey Gog the Mild,
Just wanted to drop a note as I've just seen it while blatantly stealing borrowing context from Second Punic War for the Senate project, but while your text (and presumably Bagnell that is cited for it) give a date of 216 for the treaty between Carthage and Macedon, it seems that Miles (p.243) and presumably the three sources on Macedonian–Carthaginian Treaty give the date as 215. Not sure if you had a reason to exclude the 215 dating and go with 216, but wanted to let you know in case it was just missed. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Iazyges, good spot! Rereading Bagnall what he writes is ambiguous, and he doesn't specifically date the treaty. Looks like I misinterpreted him, so I have changed the date to 215 and cited to Miles. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Coordination 2022
Did you intend to speak for Hawkeye? I'm trying to keep an eye on who's returning to see how many new candidates we may need to drum up. Hog Farm Talk 15:01, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Whoops. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:16, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
TFA
thank you today for Siege of Calais (1346–1347), introduced: "After his great victory at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, English king Edward III laid siege to Calais. The French king Philip VI had lost too many men and too much prestige at Crécy to be able to relieve the town and Edward succeeded in cutting it off from seaborne supply. After eleven months the town fell, and was subsequently held by the English for 211 years."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:03, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
OCLC of Battles & Leaders
Thank you very much for B class reviewing three of my American Civil War military unit articles. One article had been sitting unreviewed since July 16. I often B class review other people's articles, hoping that someone will return the favor and review mine. QUESTION: Where does one find the OCLC number of a book? I have 1987 versions of volumes 1, 3, and 4 of Battles and Leaders of the CW, but my volume 2 was published by Castle in 1956 before ISBN numbers. I went to worldcat.org and it gave OCLC = 28754892. I noticed that you suggested a different number (995143744). How do I find the correct number? Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 18:59, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- I got it from here [1]. But checking properly I note that this is a different publisher, so I am sure you are right. Apologies. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:39, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
