I will start the review shortly.--Catlemur (talk) 14:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

• Mention Tipps's full name just as you did with Bagnall.

I would like to, but they don't ever seem to have published or been referred to as anything other than "G.K.". The internet simply doesn't have a full name.

• Note 5 is unrefenrenced.

Fixed.

• Did the battle take place in 255 BC or 256 BC? The infobox and lede contradict each other.

My typo. Apologies. Fixed. Thanks.

• "The Carthaginians pursuing chased the Roman force off the hill" - reword this sentence.

Done.

• The infobox claims that there were probably 15,000+ Carthaginians, this is not mentioned explicitly in the Armies section.

Amended to the correct figure of 16,000+. The armies section states "the Carthaginians fielded 100 elephants, 4,000 cavalry and 12,000 infantry". It seems insulting to the reader to add "which totals over 16,000."
