You can find nothing about it on the net because everyone mentiones this battle as a battle in which Sargon defeated his rival. A book provided much more details on this subject. in Fact, I was amused to discover how much details it had about ancient Sumeria and Akkad. You have a page number in the references. It is important that Wikipedia has this battle in a seperate article because it was the first time in history that we historicaly know that an important and decisive military conflict took place.[[User:Egyptzo|Egyptzo]] ([[User talk:Egyptzo|talk]]) 08:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Concerns about this article

I have two concerns about this article:

  1. The term "Battle of Uruk" (in English at least) appears nowhere on the Internet except in this article. While I realize that you enjoy writing new articles, there is nothing in this article that is already in the article on Sargon the Great. Therefore, I am wondering whether we shouldn't just redirect this article into Sargon the Great.
  2. I am having a difficult time interpreting the only reference. Apparently it is something entitled "History" published by the Instituto Geografico De Agostini. I can find no mention of this on the internet. Can you provide more information?

Also, please read this section on how to cite references. Thanks, Madman (talk) 02:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
