"is a structure projecting outward from the main enclosure of a fortification, situated in both corners of a straight wall (termed curtain),...." Should this "of" perhaps be an "or"?

From the edit history:
user:Anmccaff You have removed a citation from a paragraph of text copied from a source. Why? It is a breach of the WP:PLAGIARISM guideline. If such a thing as cut bastion exists: "The term cut bastion is also used for one that is cut off from the place by some ditch." then such a structure could also be described as a ravelin.
How do you know "Bulwalk and Bastion" is a obscure source? It meets Wikipedia's requirements as a reliable secondary source, the paper is for example cited in:
and is listed in
both on the US .mil website.
It is reported as cited 4 times in Google scholar.
As to undue weigh you removed a paragraph of 688 characters out of an article 11,173 bytes, that is about 0.5% of the whole article. How is such a small paragraph undue weight? -- PBS ( talk) 22:07, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
If such a thing as cut bastion exists: "The term cut bastion is also used for one that is cut off from the place by some ditch." then such a structure could also be described as a ravelin.No, it would not. A ravelin is a large structure , covering an entire face, or a major portion of the face. It is forward of the face. A Bastion is a flanking structure. It is close in to the face, and, except in certain very small forts, it is only a small portion of the total face. For the last sort used in USAnian practice, which I think of as caponiers in drag the bastions took up less that 20 percent of the curtain.
