The contributions to this article (especially the sources and the images) are fine. Thanks. But we should be careful with the sources. They are not always reliable. For example the last sentence in the introduction (which is sourced) is clearly incorrect. It reads ''The stagnation lasted to the [[Treaty of Karlowitz]] in 1699, in which the Empire lost much of its European territory''. (I have deleted this sentence on the ground that Treaty of Karlowitz has nothing to do with Suleiman, but my delete was immediately reverted.) Anyway, much of territory may imply most (more than 50 %). However, in any map, the Ottoman losses can be found to be about 20 % of the former European territory. I didn't change the wording , but I'll call the editor. [[User:Nedim Ardoğa|Nedim Ardoğa]] ([[User talk:Nedim Ardoğa|talk]]) 14:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

:I am sorry, but we have to use sources, especially if this is going to be a FL as I have planed. The same goes for names of Campaigns, which I am going to revert soon, since you deleted names of campaigns which are cited. I don't have any problem with alternative names of the campaigns, if they have source to back them. Anything within the article: notes, names, campaigns, years...and son, will have to have a citation. As for 'Treaty of Karlowitz', and everything else in the article, I made a request at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Review Peer review], to get some help from more experienced editors. Personally, I am OK with, or without that sentence. My only concern is to make this article the best it can be, in order to achive FL status. What I can suggest to you, is that you elaborate the Treaty of Karlowitz in the article (like you did here on talk page), but you have to cite that with realible references. As far as I know, Austria received all of Hungary and Transylvania except the Banat, Venice obtained most of Dalmatia along with the Morea and Poland recovered Podolia. But I didn't write that because I didn't look for the references for all that. Because, I am expecting some feedback from 'Peer review'. Maybe all that is redundant, we will see. --[[User:Kebeta|Kebeta]] ([[User talk:Kebeta|talk]]) 19:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

1532 campaign

According to notes editted for the fifth campaign (1532) by Kebeta (who has also created the article Siege of Güns) Suleiman led an army to besiege Vienna. Ferdinand I withdrew his army, leaving only 700 men with no cannons and a few guns to defend Koszeg. After prolonged Siege of Güns (Köszeg), Suleiman withdrew and went homeward. However, this claim is not supported by my sources. So without any reference to Güns, I reeditted the note. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:13, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added references.--Kebeta (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Treaty of Karlowitz

The contributions to this article (especially the sources and the images) are fine. Thanks. But we should be careful with the sources. They are not always reliable. For example the last sentence in the introduction (which is sourced) is clearly incorrect. It reads The stagnation lasted to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, in which the Empire lost much of its European territory. (I have deleted this sentence on the ground that Treaty of Karlowitz has nothing to do with Suleiman, but my delete was immediately reverted.) Anyway, much of territory may imply most (more than 50 %). However, in any map, the Ottoman losses can be found to be about 20  % of the former European territory. I didn't change the wording , but I'll call the editor. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
