Pass or Fail:

This is a well-written, informative article. I made a minor clarification to the mention of Sicilian Vespers, which not everyone will recognized as some sort of uprising. The sources (as best I can verify) check out, and the images are properly licensed, although the lead map could use an {{Information}} template, properly filled out.

The only issue is that the first paragraph of the background is uncited. I imagine this will not be hard to fix; nomination is on hold. Magic♪piano 13:36, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review this! I added the requested citations, and tweaked the paragraph around a little. Any further issues? Constantine ✍ 12:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, passing. Congratulations! Magic♪piano 13:57, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As for the infobox

In the belligerents section it says "Kingdom of Sicily" rather than Angevin Kingdom of Albania. The battle occurred in the Angevin territories of Albania not Sicily. Also the leader of the army in the battle, Hugo De Sully was Vicar-General of the Albanian Kingdom since 1279. So I propose to change it if nobody objects.

Erm, their naming as a kingdom aside, the Angevin territories in Albania were nothing other than a province of the Angevin Kingdom of Sicily. There was no Angevin Albania independent of the Italian kingdom. It is like claiming that the Ottoman invasion of the Peloponnese in 1715 was against the Kingdom of the Morea, but not the Republic of Venice. Constantine ✍ 09:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
