Updated copyright tags. --Turbojet (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

• stone fortress, the Angevin fortress Don't italicize and change the first "fortress" to "fortification".
• Too many uses of the word "fortress" in close proximity throughout the 2nd paragraph of the lede. Use some synonyms like fortification, fort, castle, etc. to keep things fresh for the reader.
• The progress of artillery Unclear. Try "The increasing power of artillery rendered the walls ineffective by the end of the 19th century."
• However, Castrum Temesiensis It is not clear how this relates to the preceding sentence.
• What is a clay fortress? Do you mean like Earthworks (fortification)?
• Down to Hunyadi Fortress, more later.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Hope I have improved the text style.

It is difficult to find substitutes for "fortress". The subject contained a castle surrounded by walls and next to it a separate residential area also surrounded by its walls. It was practically a fortified city, much larger than, for example, the Corvin Castle or a fort. But maybe I do not master terminology well, because by "fort" I only understand a military area designed to defend something. --Turbojet (talk) 08:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

• county executive of Timiș What do you mean by this?
• The long list of fortresses at the beginning of the Ottoman siege section is too long. List only the most important ones and maybe those that held out against the Ottomans.
• I've done a lot of editing in the interest of saving time. Down to reconstruction.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
