Talk:Ancient navies and vessels

D1Engineer (talk) 15:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC) Meets word count, Needs and info box with pictures and more citations. The articles themself could use some work they dont seem to flow

Flows like an argumentative paper rather than informational. Language needs more scholarly tone. Seth4404 (talk) 15:28, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review

1. The 500 word requirement per person is not there in the article. No leading introductory paragraph there. Need two more sections of content. Citations are present but you need to add images.

2. The resources are of sufficient authority and accurate.

3. You are of to a good start with the article, and it has a couple of errors in it. The article is missing content like more paragraphs and some of the other requirements.

Expansion needed

This article should be expanded with short paragraphs for (at least) the Greek, Phoenician, Assyrian, and Carthaginian navies. It might also be good idea to discuss different kinds of ancient warships in this article (e.g. bireme, trireme, quadrireme, quinquereme, decereme, etc.) Michael! (talk) 20:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Does Not Represent a Worldwide View

I think that, given the lack of attention to the Ancient Chinese navies - most importantly the Han Navy, the navies of the Indian subcontinent or Polynesian or Pacific Northwest Coast cultures' naval forces this article should have the aforementioned cultural areas' naval histories added to them or someone needs to tag this article for not representing a worldwide view and specifically being ethnocentric to the cultures of Western Eurasia and the Mediterranian. I will probably do at least some of this by Sunday and I would love to have my fellow Wikipedians help if they so wish. 自教育 (talk) 20:02, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Even being med centric no coverage of the ancient Greek and Carthaginian either.--KTo288 (talk) 20:42, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
