Italian War of 1542–1546

My first ever attempt at going through this process, rather than overseeing it. ;-)

I've been working on this article, on and off, for a few months now. As far as the development of the material is concerned, I think it's essentially complete; the only remaining work I foresee is some copyediting. Thus, I think it now meets the requirements for A-Class articles. Comments, of any sort, will be very appreciated! Kirill 02:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- What exactly are the 'low countries'? The map helps, but article links would be preferable
- The third paragraph in the section "France invaded" contains the line "On 14 July, Henry crossed to Calais and proceeded—carried in a litter—toward Boulogne, where Suffolk was already advancing.[46]" What does "carried in a litter" mean?
Otherwise, it looks good. Well done. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added some links to Low Countries and litter (vehicle); do you think that's sufficient? Kirill 07:16, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Good work. Woody (talk) 13:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Minor, superficial, subjective reservation about one sentence in the section "France invaded" ;-). The sentence "...campaign could not begin, however, until each had resolved the conflicts hanging over them" has an informal tone to it. SoLando (Talk) 20:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point; I've changed it to "their personal conflicts with their neighbors". Kirill 20:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I'd have used a much simpler citation style. ie ^ Knecht (1994: 502) instead of ^ Knecht, Renaissance Warrior, 502. and made more use of the multi-cite template, but this is a matter of personal taste, I suppose. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 14:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- MLA style versus CMS style. ;-) Kirill 14:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed. By the way, I wasn't going to say how good this article is because it might appear sycophantic. So I won't :)))--ROGER DAVIES ^talk
