Talk:Battle

Should the list be alphabetical or chronological? 216.79.193.56 (talk) 13:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

May not matter, but if it was to be chronological it would need the date included. It would probably be better to avoid making the list too much longer as the page just becomes a list, and not very interesting. The list exists in the Category:Battles so we don't need to duplicate it. I was trying to think of an example of a famous battle where the winning side loses the war, to help expand the ideas in the opening paragraph.--Peterdownunder (talk) 13:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

What about something like the Battle of Guilford Courthouse? Especially since it's a Pyrrhic victory. --Sselbor (talk) 00:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
