Talk:Battle of Thermopylae

don't change the Persian army's size again. Modern sources believe the Persian army was between 100,000-300,000 men not 15,000-50,000 Nickolas VL (talk) 16:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

::You didn't let me. Everywhere in the world the army size is listed as 100,000-300,000 except for Iranian sources it seems, where they list it as 25,000-50,000. First time I see this nonsense Nickolas VL (talk) 11:54, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

::::I am not talking about you specifically, I am talking about the people who created this page, it didnt allow me to edit for some reason. Anyways true size was 100,000-300,000 not 25,000-50,000 it's wrong that's what I say. Best of wishes Nickolas VL (talk) 12:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Xerxes' crossing of the Hellespont was achieved by a pontoon bridge, which was under considerable strain from the water flow from the Black Sea rivers. With the loss of his navy at Salamis, it had become undefendable, and so he needed to withdraw the bulk of his forces. 94.8.242.236 (talk) 06:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

• There is uncited text in the article, including the entire "Thespian monument" section
• The lede, at five paragraphs, is longer than the recommended 3-4 paragraphs at WP:LEADLENGTH

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 18:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Can anyone please lock this page? It has been vandalized so many times. Nguyen280405 (talk) 11:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

• {{ping|Matarisvan}} Are you still interested in working on this? Z1720 (talk) 02:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
• {{u|Z1720}}: Yes, I am. However, I will need at least 2 months to commence work on this rewrite, because I am working on Artemisium and Salamis first, which are relatively easier to rewrite and have fewer commentaries. Please allow me time until April 2025 to finish this rewrite, if I haven't, you must open a 2nd reassessment. Matarisvan (talk) 12:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
