Isn't this entry a bit military centric? Gentgeen 10:46, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is it better now ? Terrorism and the stockmarket are war-like, but not really military.... BTW, thanks for putting in the date for the Battle of Zama. -- PFHLai 13:50, 2004 Oct 8 (UTC)

American Revolution

[edit]

The page now says:

There are two errors here. First, Cornwallis didn't surrender after losing the battle; he lost the battle (really a siege) when he surrendered. More importantly, his surrender didn't end the war, which sputtered on for a bit afterwards. The entry should read:

Scipio Africanus

[edit]

(thread copied from WP:ERRORS, where it was unresolved)

He earned his nickname Africanus after he defeated Hannibal, so it is not correct that Scipio Africanus defeated Hannibal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.163.218 (talk) 07:16, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the same token you could say that the battle of Waterloo (and many other battles) never took place. Ericoides (talk) 16:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, Wellington wasn't named after Waterloo (obviously). I agree with the IP, the Africanus part of Scipio's name should not be in the entry since he hadn't acquired it yet. Modest Genius talk 17:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
