Roman the Great

You recently created the article Roman the Great. I did a litel cleanup on it. I have some questions and comments.

Before the birth date you listed "a." Did you mean this to stand for "about"? the wikipedia standard is to use "c." for circa. Dit it apply to the birth date only or to both dates.

You wrote "Roman Mstyslavych was reputed by victory hikes against Polovtsi in 1197-1198, 1201 and 1204". I don't know what this means -- did he defeat the Polovtsi, or was rumored to ahve doe so, or did he gain reputation for doing so, or what?

You wrote "He lived mostly in peace with Hungary and Poland, won uneasy neighbours." this doesn't make sense as written do you mean that his realtions with Hungary and Poland were uneasy, although mostly peaceful?

Note that I put the alternate form of his name in bold. this is the wikipedia standard.

Note that I removed the links to years. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date formatting. Links to dates are mostly only useful when they are to full dates, not just years.

Note that I added {{royal-stub}}. Please add a proper stub tag to short articles. see WP:STUB for more info.

Please feel fre to leave me a msg on my talk page with any questions. DES ^(talk) 08:03, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your resposne to me about this article, and for your fuirther significant exapansion and improvement of it. I have another question:

You refer to "hikes" and to "victory hikes". Do these mean "marches" or "attacks" or "assults"? Is a "victory hike" a "victorious assault" or "successful attack"? If not, what do you mean by this term? I have generally seen "hike" used in english to eman a pleasnt walk by one or a few people, undertaken for sport or pleasure through more or less wild or natural areas. I don't think this is the sense in which you are using the word. Please help me understand. DES ^(talk) 15:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
