• File:Battle at Driskos 1912.jpg needs a US copyright tag

 Done

• between Vigla and Toufekistra hills Too precise since readers won't have a clue where those are. Perhaps Epirus with a link?

 Done

• Capitalize Battle of Driskos throughout as it's a proper name

 Done

• There's a lot of extraneous material in the third and fourth paras in the Background section

Shortened them to one paragraph.--Catlemur (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

• On 28 November, the Ottomans launched another attack on the Heights 1078 and 1053 held by Cretan volunteers after forwarding their battery to the caravanserai of Lefkas. awkward--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What would be a more appropriate phrasing? Heights 1078 and 1053 are specifically mentioned in the Greek official history of the war.--Catlemur (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of issues here. You said "another" attack on the heights, but never mentioned them previously. Please add that. As written, it's unclear who the artillery belongs to, the Cretans or the Turks. Clear these issues up first and we can figure out how to fix the rest of the sentence.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusted the sentence to make it more straightforward.--Catlemur (talk) 03:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Explain what a rear guard battalion is and we'll be done here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sturmvogel 66 The original term in the source was "τάγμα των μετόπισθεν" which can mean different things so its hard to translate. So I amended it to rear area protection battalion given the context.--Catlemur (talk) 17:13, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
