[edit] The Plan

Hi Kyriakos, great job so far on the article. Nice pictures too.
I guess if you can continue to expand with the sub headings, I will help out with some of the stats/figures and wording/grammar. Quite soon this article will be like the other rather well-written and articulate Greco-Persian War articles. Look forward to cooperating with you.--Arsenous Commodore 00:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Arvand, thanks for your help so far. I'm planning on also writting an article on the siege of Eretria if you would like to help. Yesterday I created the Siege of Naxos (499 BC) and would I be possible for you to go over it and copy-edit it. I'm also looking forward to working with you on this article and hopefully in the future more articles on the Persian Wars. Kyriakos 01:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Ironically, I was doing just that Kyriakos. It's quite a nice article so far, Naxos 499 BC. Well Done! I have no problem editing it, infact the pleasure is all mine, and I am happy to help. Yeah, Eretria sounds good, because it is the next battle prior to Marathon and shortly after Naxos. Those online references of Herodotus you found and are sourcing with in the articles are fantastic, they will be quite handy when we work on Eretria and the rest.--Arsenous Commodore 01:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm also planing to improve the article on the battle of Esphesus and to create one for the Siege of Sardis. When those articles are finished we would have done the first half of the articles. Kyriakos 01:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I think we should try to keep the warbox, as short and simple as we can. For example do you want to just replace the 200-300 triremes + 300 transports with the total written: 600 ships. Then we can be more specific in breaking down the numbers in the Prelude, which you have already started with the Persian infantry. I'll make the changes, but if you are not pleased with the results just tell me and we can make the reverts.--Arsenous Commodore 15:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The map

At the top of this article, there's a map with the caption "Location of Naxos". However, I can't find the name Naxos anywhere on this map. Is it the wrong map or has Naxos been edited out from it or has the person who put the map in the article just thought wrong? /Ludde23 ^{Talk Contrib} 20:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the map. You should be able to find it without too much difficulty now. ·ΚέκρωΨ· 23:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
