Some notes about items mentioned in the quite diligent review:

The addition was OK, but it implies that Geoffrey I Villehardouin came along with William of Champlitte from Costantinople. This is not correct, since Geoffrey came from Palestine, on his way back to France. I plan to fix this later, but I want to think the best way to phrase it. If anyone gets to do it first, fine.-- FocalPoint 19:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
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 requirements of 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. As a side note, I'd recommend that more sources be added to further expand the article. The paragraphs that have no sources should have inline citations added as well. 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. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 07:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
There also seem to be another contemporary text by "Nicetas" (probably Niketas Choniates) mentioned by Finlay. [1]
I had a quick look through the actual text, at B.G. Niebuhr/Immanuel Bekker, 1835, Niketae Choniatae Historia, but I could not find a direct reference. I will look again. If someone wants to try, do not waste your time in the first pages, this should be after pages 700 or so.-- FocalPoint ( talk) 21:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
The claim about the Greek soldiers being «drawn from the garrisons of Nikli, Veligosti, Lacedaemon, as well as infantry provided by the Slavic Melingoi tribe of Taygetus» is an estimate of Bon 1969, pp. 61–62, however, it is his own personal conclusion. There is no such reference in the only sources we have and therefore I removed it from the text. As it was written, it was misleading, being presented as a fact, while it is the hypothesis of one author. -- FocalPoint ( talk) 20:09, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
