Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

I have expanded the intro and the section on the results of the battle to make the article more informative. I don't have any references on the actual battle itself though.--AssegaiAli 19:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed the entry, meets all of the criteria for a level B, except thorough referencing, so I classified it as a level C.

Matthew White website

So why exactly is Matthew White or the supposed sources he supposedly uses a reliable source? --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After his defeat at the Battle of Teba in 1330, Muhammed IV

'After his defeat at the Battle of Teba in 1330 Muhammed IV'

A small point perhaps but Muhammed IV of Granada was not defeated at the siege of Teba. He was not present. In 1330 he was taking refuge in his palace at Granada, fearful of assassination in the wake of his father's murder. Meanwhile the Marinid general Uthman, arguably de facto ruler, was in command of the Muslim forces attempting to raise the siege of Teba.

It might be simpler to say, "After the Christian victory at Teba" or "After Alfonso XI of Castile's victory at Teba, Muhammed IV..." etc. A link to 'Battle of Teba' will suffice. The rout of Uthman's forces on the Guadalteba was not the end of the campaign, the storming and surrender of the castle completed the victory. There were other castles taken in the following days, but that needn't distract us in an introductory sentence.

strengh box

This is a clear bias. A Marinid state was not a big empire but just a small country. How can they muster 60,000 soldiers in one battle?? I will remove it. Ancient sources cannot be used to determine the number of soldiers of one side. Romeo778 (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that information appears to be referenced. If you have an issue with the figure(s), I suggest finding a reliable source that states differently. Oh, and I am restoring the referenced information. Please refrain from edit warring. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:40, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I will try to find sources with better estimates. RobertJohnson35 (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An indication should be added that they are old estimates( The lowest figure is provided by Rodrigo Yánez's account, claiming that Abu Hasan deployed 60,000 men and that transporting the force across the Straits of Gibraltar took four months..) Romeo778 (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
