WPMILHIST BCAD Notes

[edit]

Some notes from assessment: the article basically passes all the criteria, although it's thin at points and citations maybe could be improved; the Armies section probably could be better formatted. -- Avocado (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Protestant or Spanish victory

[edit]

Shouldn't it be a stratigic protestant victory and tactical Spanish victory since the battle resulted in the relieve of Bergen op Zoom?

Carducho Painting

[edit]

Having added Vicente Carducho's depiction of the battle to this article, I had a look back through the edit history and saw that the same painting was formerly the article's main image. It was removed about a year ago and replaced with the Peter Snayers painting still at the article's head. I think that the Snayers painting is a better header, since it more explicitly depicts the two armies' formations and does without the dramatic close-up figures that appear in Carducho's version. Nonetheless, Carducho's work was done a mere decade after the battle and seems relevant enough to include here in a demoted position. ManuelKomnenos (talk) 21:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
