Typo in Background Section

Hi, there's a typo here: "The evolution of a Christian theology of war developed from the link of Roman citizenship to Christianity, with citizens were required to fight the empire's enemies." I can't edit the page with a new account, but I think the last part could be rephrased to say "according to which" instead of "with". Anendaks (talk) 02:40, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also the following sentence: "A doctrine of holy war dated from the 4th-century theologian Saint Augustine." is incomplete and could read "This doctrine of holy war dates from the 4th-century theologian Saint Augustine." Anendaks (talk) 02:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anendaks I implemented the changes you suggested. The Night Watch (talk) 02:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Anendaks (talk) 02:57, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Iberian Peninsula uppercased

The uppercasing of Iberian Peninsula was reverted with this edit by Norfolkbigfish. The link to the uppercased article title seems to be all that's needed to change the casing. I don't know what British English has to do with it. The wording can also be changed to simply Iberia if it is a concern on this page, but overall, on Wikipedia, Iberian Peninsula is a proper noun. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies @Randy Kryn, I have self reverted my revert - I wasn't paying as much attention as I should and thought it wasn't a proper noun! Turns out it is, my mistake. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Norfolkbigfish, the Iberians will be glad. You can remove this section if you'd like. Appreciated. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
