Why "Geoffrey Villehardouin" and not "Geoffrey of Villehardouin" or "Geoffrey de Villehardouin"? Srnec 22:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No reason. Either of your two options seem better to me. Go ahead. --FocalPoint 16:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Text from the Chronicle of the Crusade[edit]

I think that section should be either reformatted, integrated into the article perhaps by paraphrasing, or deleted. It doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the article, IMO. - Iotha 23:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reformatting might be a good idea, however, please note that the one and only scope of this paragraph is to give information collected from a primary source. If we paraphrase it, then we are giving our version of the story (just like all other historians are doing). It is not intended to fit with the rest of the article and this is why it comes after "See also", since it is really text supporting the article. If you or someone else wants to do something about it, please take this under consideration.--FocalPoint 07:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
