• Length, references, date and both hooks verified (I find the alt hook to be slightly more engaging). While the map certainly helps to pinpoint the location of the fortress, it appears to be anachronistic: Sati was not Venetian in 1448 (actually, the functioning fortress was no under Venetian control at any point in time). Perhaps the map can be fixed or replaced? — Toдor Boжinov — 13:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Тодор. Thanks for the review. Yes, you are right, "the map certainly helps to pinpoint the location of the fortress" but "the functioning fortress was no under Venetian control at any point in time". That was the only available map I was able to find with position of Sati. I again tried to find another map which would show position of functional fortress Sati, but without success. I propose to keep this map which does inform readers about the location of the fortress because it is probably better to have a map with position of former fortress than no map at all?. I asked the author of the map to add the position of Sati to another map. I hope he will do it soon. What do you think about my proposal?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
