In my view this article passes the seven criteria for a good article, i.e. it is well-written, factually accurate, broad, neutrally written, stable, well-referenced, and has a sufficient number of images. Maybe the only problem is with the grammair, a native speaker should check it, as there seem to be some orthography errors, and some typos. Also, I'm not sure the "fortifications of vergas" note should remain, probably it would be better to part put its content in the main article and part it could be used for an article yet to be created on Vergas.

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I made several minor corrections, but there were no major problems with the article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Regards, --Nehrams2020 03:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm new to all this, but I've spotted a problem in the fact box (right terminology?). Under the sections on strengths and casualties, it appears that the Maniots were fighting themselves instead of the Ottomans and Egyptians.

Those are the name of sources, not combatants. Dimadick (talk) 07:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a shame that the map included in this article has virtually none of the place names actually mentioned in the article. Can someone do better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mukogodo (talk • contribs) 16:46, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, the map is *disorienting* when combined with the text. First, the map has different place names from those mentioned in the text. "Jíthio" is a stretch for the mentioned "Gytheio". I'm assuming the "Dirú" is the mentioned "Diro"/"Diros". Second, many of the mentioned places are not on the map! Where is "Vergas"? Apparently somewhere to the northwest, much nearer to Kalamata. Where are:

• Kariopoli
• Polytsaravo
• Almiro
• Missolonghi
• Messenia
• Karytainia

Of course it never helps when text uses multiple variations of names, but when the visual aid has none of those names it is worse. Shenme (talk) 02:04, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
