Talk:Great Siege of Scarborough Castle/Archive 1

Suggestions towards approval

In the section "royalist stronghold," the first sentence concludes "next several months." The timing reference has been lost by the new section. Please include dates. Russell D. Jones 14:27, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've made these edits. These expand the background of what happened in 1643-1644, before the siege, and include dates. Please let me know about anything else that needs doing. Thanks. John Stephenson 04:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Siege aspects

"Great" siege implies there were others, but the existence of other sieges isn't obvious.

I set up a redirect for cannonball. While we really need articles on siege warfare in general, it's probably worth mentioning that castles were essentially pre-gunpowder fortifications; cannon made them obsolete.

Looks good, though. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
