Patag (sword)[edit]

(

)

... that patags once used in combat were marked with a cross?
ALT1: ... that patags once used in combat are especially valued?

Created by Catlemur (talk). Self nominated at 08:06, 30 September 2014 (UTC).

Over 3700 bytes and nominated one day after creation, satisfying date and length criteria. QPQ not required, though one is certainly welcome. Reference information is incomplete - please provide authors, publishers, etc. for the sources you use. For multipage sources, please provide the page number on which to find info associated with a citation - readers shouldn't have to scan a 20 page document to find this info (such as those to ref #1). For the statement "Patag is regarded as...", source #2 makes no claim of "royal family" or any similar terms. Some sources refer to these swords as "patang" - could you mention this in the article. Hook is short and cited, but I don't think it's particularly interesting - perhaps mention that these swords are referred to as "dripcha" and prized. Overall, an interesting article with only minor issues to address. Mind matrix 01:14, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

All fixed.--Catlemur (talk) 09:08, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Either hook is OK (short, sourced, etc.), but ALT1 is more interesting. Mind matrix 14:08, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
