DYK for Hannibal von Degenfeld
[edit]
On 9 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hannibal von Degenfeld, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hannibal von Degenfeld (pictured) played the leading role in establishing the Bavarian Army in 1682, before leading it to the Battle of Vienna a year later? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hannibal von Degenfeld. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hannibal von Degenfeld), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you today for Al-Musta'li, "about the ninth Fatimid caliph, whose rise to the throne in 1094 was due to the machinations of the powerful vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah, and caused a major rift in the Isma'ili branch of Shi'a Islam. Al-Musta'li remained under the thumb of his vizier for the duration of his relatively short caliphate, and his reign is mostly a record of al-Afdal's actions. The article is a pendant to Nizar ibn al-Mustansir, al-Musta'li's elder brother, who was likely the legitimate successor." -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Question about Chronicle of Monemvasia
[edit]Hello. It is mentioned here that "...as well as the Taktika composed by Emperor Leo III the Isaurian (r. 717–741) between 733–746. " Is it the Tactica of Emperor Leo VI the Wise, or another book with the same name? Thank you. Vikarna 10:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Vikarna! This is a puzzling reference. I don't have access to the source used, but I would assume that this is indeed what is meant. There are no Taktika of Leo III, but IIRC there was an opinion that Leo III was the author of the Taktika before being identified as Leo VI; I am still surprised that a work as late as 1970 would still cling to this view. Constantine ✍ 10:26, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I see, Thanks a lot for your answering! Vikarna 10:41, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
