Article Edited For English Comprehension[edit]

I edited this article in an effort to make the English easier to understand. Does this address the complaint?Gallador (talk) 04:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Canusium versus Asculum.[edit]

Going back a few years, the old page of "Battle of Asculum (209 BC)" seems to have been redirected to this page (Battle of Canusium) in 2007. There were reasons given in the old talk page, but not here, so I'm collecting some links here in case anyone could use it to resolve the issue, as there still seems to be some confusion about the name and/or location of this battle. I claim no special knowledge of the matter, I only note that:

The text of this page links explicitly to "Canusium", which redirects to Canosa di Puglia.
See also the old talk page Talk:Battle of Asculum (209 BC) with reasons being given for the 2007 redirection.
But, as an alternative claim, the page of Ascoli Satriano, one of the places with the historical name of "Asculum", claims that it was the location of two early Roman battles, referring both to the Battle of Asculum (279 BC) of the Pyrrhic War as well as the "Battle of Asculum (209 BC)" (which now redirects to this page).
And the disambiguation / list page of the old name of "Asculum" also claims the same thing, that Ascoli Satriano is the site of both these battles.
This is also (implicitly) claimed in the "see also" link at the start of the page for Battle of Asculum (279 BC) which also refers explicitly to the "Battle of Asculum (209 BC)".

So, to summarize: Where did this battle take place, Canusium (Canosa di Puglia) or Asculum (Ascoli Satriano)?

If the redirection was correct and Canusium is indeed the correct location, then perhaps the other three pages should be changed accordingly... Fred Johansen (talk) 18:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
