[edit] Requested move

Siege of Sardis → Siege of Sardis (546 BC) --(Discuss )-- Believe or not, I created this article and, I accidently made a mistake of copy and pasting which made two seperate histories about the articles which was redone by the administraters. But, I now want to move the article in a proper way. There is two different articles about the sieges at sardis, one with no date and one that happened in 498 BC, and before the one with no date, there were two or three sieges in that place, maybe one in the story of Troy. But if Siege of Sardis (498 BC) has a date, why not siege of sardis which was not even the first siege to happen there. And the siege of sardis was a very important outcome in history of Cyrus the Great, and its even in his campagain box, so like other sieges of Alexander and Hannibal, this one definitly needs a date, thats it.----Ariobarza (talk) 09:42, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Ariobarza talk

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with Ariobarza (talk) 09:42, 3 March 2008 (UTC). Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Oppose as principal usage. Siege of Sardis (498 BC) may well be misnamed anyway; I see no evidence that the city was besieged then, rather than stormed. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

• I made the move, partly because a histmerge was needed; Siege of Sardis is now a disambig page. Move it back if you want to. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
