Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review/Galatian War
I started this article earlier this month. Since then it has been promoted to B class. I would like some outside opinions on hhow to improve the article. Thanks. Kyriakos 13:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Quite nice, overall. A few points to consider, though:
- The article is very reliant on direct citations to Livy and Polybius. This isn't necessarily bad, or even avoidable; but are there additional modern sources that could be thrown into the mix here? Having a more balanced mix of ancient and modern historiography may help avoid complaints down the line.
- Normal blockquote formatting seems to be preferred over {{cquote}} now.
- The normal form, as far as I know, is "Mount Olympus" (or, in the extreme, "Mt. Olympus"); but "Mt Olympus" isn't correct in formal writing.
- More a point of personal curiosity rather than an issue, per se, but is there any specific information on how high up the slopes of Olympus the Galatian entrenchments were? I assume the fighting took place in the foothills rather than on the peak itself, but I could be wrong here.
Keep up the great work! Kirill 02:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the review Kirill. I will try and find some other secondary sources. I will also fix the rest of the points. Kyriakos 07:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
