I'll look at this soon (hopefully this weekend). Hog Farm Talk 18:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- " After several month's of little activity Scipio" - this may be an AmEng/BrEng issue, but should the apostrophe be ommitted?
- LOL. Removed.
- Link both Hannibal and Mago in the lead
- Done.
- "and imposed a further 1,200 talent indemnity.[note 2][9][10] actions which fuelled Carthaginian resentment." - should the period after indemnity be a comma?
- Yes. Nice spot.
- "established a strong camp on a flat floodplain of the Bagradas River known as the Great Plains. " - not seeing where Goldsworthy mentions a floodplain, although it's hard to make sure I'm not just overlooking the mention because the edition Internet Archive has doesn't have page numbers
- I'm not sure where that came from. Removed.
- "On the Roman right flank were the cavalry attached to the four legions with Laelius in command" - The Goldsworthy edition on Internet Archive doesn't seem to mention Laelius - am I look at a different edition than the one you have?
- No. Probably me reading past what it actually says. Source which does specify this added.
- Masinissa taking over Syphax's kingdom is mentioned in the lead, but not in the body.
- Ah, whoops. Fixed.
- Something seems wrong with the pagination for Rawlings 2015 - p. 305 is cited, but the given range in the long citation isn't anywhere close to p. 305
- Gah. I gave the range of a completely different chapter. Thanks for spotting.
- Are Briscoe and Scullard chapters from the same larger work? If so, recommend making the long citations more consistent
- Weeell. Chapters from different volumes of the same overall "work". Within that limitation, standardised.
- Sources all appear to be reliable
- No issues with image licensing noted
Good work here, placing on hold. Hog Farm Talk 02:56, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks Hog Farm. You caught some tricksy bits. All addressed. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
