  • Length and date ok, impressive work. Many PD images that could be used for the hook are availible too. But I fail to see any explicit mention of the linkage between poor funding and being outnumbered by magnates' armies. The two fact are, from what I can read, presented separately. --Soman (talk) 11:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Per Rule B1, the hook fact must be supported in the article by a citation. BTW, after I cleaned up the referencing, I notice that most of the article is based on two books, and the citations seem to follow the books' structure pretty closely. Do you have any other sources for the information? Yoninah (talk) 19:40, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Here's a proposed alt hook 1 and 2. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 04:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

  • ALT2 is a good hook; I tweaked the math per the figures given in the article. Hook ref AGF. Ready to go. Yoninah (talk) 06:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
