Battle of Vaslui

I think this article is quite detailed in its descriptions and offers many sources and references that defend its claim. With a little touch on the style that needs to be slightly improved, the article could be worthy for FA status. Thx. --Candide, or Optimism 01:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

A tremendous article; if I were voting now, I'd vote for FAC. You've basically met the fundamental criteria for FAC: good research, nice pictures (I especially liked the battle diagram), well written. Overall, very very good. I'm comparing yours to the Battle of Alesia, which is FAC, and I think yours is better. However, I do think you could improve a few things, and one of those is the aftermath section. It'd be better if you expanded that a bit. For example, the Alesia article talks about the problems of historical reconstruction at the end. Do something like that for this battle; how is it viewed in Moldavian culture and what impact does in have in popular conceptions of the period? Stuff like that. Also, try to get some more wiki links in there. But again, very good.UberCryxic 03:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I will expand the aftermath by writing more about the battle. Basically, the next article will hold the same quality as this one. I will start working on this in the next two days. :) --Candide, or Optimism 05:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Very good article! The major thing remaining is stylistic copyediting; aside from that, the "References" section needs to be sorted alphabetically, and you should write at least a stub about the Moldavian-Ottoman Wars (which are now linked in the infobox). —Kirill Lokshin 04:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't know that the "References" section needed to be in alphabetic order. What should be in Alpha... order: the name of the author or the name of the book? I will create the Moldavian-Ottoman Wars article today. Thx :) --Candide, or Optimism 05:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

It should be by the author, I think. —Kirill Lokshin 12:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

This is clearly FA quality. You should be proud. The bibliography is missing publication data. Normally this would include the publisher and year of publication, usually the location of publication as well. ISBN numbers are optional but nice to have. Would you be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Middle Ages task force? Durova 03:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I have included five books, three of which have ISBN numbers. The other two are too old, but I guess I could add the year and location of the publication. I will soon update that article and a few other things. I'm not sure what the Middle Ages task force does, but sure, I could join it. It sounds interesting. What do I need to do? --Candide, or Optimism 07:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

This article has vastly and clearly improved from just another mediocre battle article, to one which is clearly FA status. It was a joy to watch it grow and help it along, in some small way. And it will be my pleasure to SUPPORT it when the time comes--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 16:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
