Orphaned article[edit]

The article Battle of Syracuse (387 BC) is not linked from this article. I have a feeling that the date of the battle is wrong. Can somebody fix all of this?--SkiDragon (talk) 05:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Is now proposed for deletion. --Proofreader (talk) 13:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greek-Punic wars or Sicilian wars[edit]

Okay are they called the Greek-Punic wars or Sicilian wars?174.17.171.195 (talk) 19:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I am a Sicilian archaeologist and I want to write here because this is a huge mistake! This page is limited to episodes of Sicilian battles during the whole Greek-Punic wars: the Greek-Punic wars are a phenomenon that involved all the Western Mediterranean. The text seems to me highly restrictive: it is necessary to update it with the latest research (as the latest book Le guerre senza nome. L'epico scontro fra greci e cartaginesi by Ferruggia A., 2014, which is the most comprehensive and updated work on this phenomenon) and it is necessary to change the title of the page: Sicilian Wars, mistakenly, limits and does not contextualize geographically that phenomenon. The correct name with which they are known in literature is Greek-Punic Wars, so please change the name of the page and return to the first one. Thank you --EliBo1975 (talk) 17:27, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 09:16, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Greco-Punic Wars → Sicilian Wars – This page was moved without discussion. Its current title is completely unknown outside of Wikipedia. "Sicilian Wars" is at least encountered, albeit more often in lowercase form ("Sicilian wars"). If there is a better proposal, I'm all for it, but the current title is not an improvement on the old.

this article is written like a cartoon narrative from a pro-carthaginian perspective and has almost no sourcing[edit]

a serious attempt should be made to source the article and undo the narrative, which presents the carthaginians as cartoon heroes and the greeks as cartoon villains, or the article should merely be removed. 107.179.229.114 (talk) 15:09, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
