Assessment; Additional sources

[edit]

Catlemur. Hatzopoulos cites other sources but they appear to be all foreign language sources. I did a quick search online and on JSTOR and found only foreign language sources. I have many military history books but as of now I have none on the Napoleonic Wars. Can you cite one or a few of the foreign language sources or find any other English language sources? I judged the referencing adequate for B class and other criteria met. However, the article could be improved by a few additional citations to other sources, if accessible. Thanks.

@Donner60: There are multiple sources that briefly mention the unit to the extent of "the unit was composed of Greeks and was commanded by Papazoglou, it served during the Napoleonic wars" so they are useless. The other issue is that I don't speak French and don't have access to any the French sources. I found a book that may be useful in a local library, I will try to get access to it sooner or later (they don't provide it on loan).--Catlemur (talk) 08:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the effort. I don't speak French, either, and could not tell whether any of the few other sources I saw online would be worthwhile. I thought the sources would be mostly foreign language and possibly inaccessible as well. No rush, especially with holidays approaching. As you suggest, do whatever you can and look for the one source you mention as you have time to do it. Donner60 (talk) 08:38, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
