Talk:Military history of the Crusader states

Djmaschek wrote this article, even though he isn't in its revision history, so direct all queries to him

By looking at the History, you would never know that I wrote almost the entire page. I wrote three separate articles: Fatimid-Crusader War, Seljuk-Crusader War and Zengid-Crusader War. Since the three articles were merged, my address is nowhere to be found and it looks like I had nothing to do with any of it! Djmaschek (talk) 21:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, there really is no ownership of articles and "if you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly..." That said, in hindsight it would have been best to move one of the articles to this title and merge the other two into it, but I created this page before the merger just in case opposition arose (and I thought we needed this article anyway). If it makes you feel better, I acknowledge that the entire body text (all but the lead) is your work (with a few tweaks by others). Also, you should be in the history soon if you expand upon it! I have material I plan to add in the coming weeks months slowly accumulating. Srnec (talk) 05:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Merger

I started the "armies of the crusaders" page, and I agree it should be merged. Gabr-el 05:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I merged it. If it gets longer, more specific (less general), and better sourced it may be re-spun off into a subarticle. Srnec (talk) 04:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Some of the article...

Is written like a personal rant, particularly the part on the strength of the Crusaders section. it needs to be written in a much more objective matter, and hopefully citing some real source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RollingWave (talk • contribs) 03:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
