Nice job on this article. I have a few comments:

• for the first sentence, I suggest "The Battle of Yenidje, also transliterated as Yenice (Greek: Μάχη των Γιαννιτσών), was a major battle between Greek forces under Crown Prince Constantine and Ottoman forces under General Hasan Tahsin Pasha and took place between October 19–20 (O.S.), 1912 during the First Balkan War." and link Old Style and New Style dates for O.S.
• suggest "which was the last line of defense for the city of Thessaloniki, which had a Greek majority population."

I've searched a lot but I still cannot find one.--Catlemur (talk) 08:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

• File:TiradoresGriegosEnElLagoYeniye--balkancockpitpol00pric 0091.png has questionable licensing. Was this from the book The Balkan Cockpit the Political and Military Story of the Balkan Wars in Macedonia by Walter Harrington Crawfurd-Price? I couldn't find it in the copy available at the source link, but f so, we need the page it is on, but this book was published in 1914 in the UK and would meet {{PD-UK}} and {{PD-US-expired-abroad}}. The current licence doesn't work because there is no information about when Crawfurd-Price died, and no US tag. You could ask Rowanwindwhistler, who is still actively editing.
• With File:Greek infantry Giannitsa 1912.jpg, the source link is broken, the author is unknown (so the current licence doesn't work), and it has no US tag. I also can't find a book on Worldcat that has an ISBN of 960-6845-15-X. You could ask Alexikoua but they haven't edited for a couple of months.

That's my lot, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:57, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I apologize in advance for any mistakes (this may not be the right place for me to write to start with) but I just wanted to lend a hand if I could. File:TiradoresGriegosEnElLagoYeniye--balkancockpitpol00pric 0091.png does come from here (page 91 in the book). The page says "no visible notice of copyright; exact publication date unknown." though it later says it was published in 1914. I assumed it was in the public domain based on the page (but I am no lawyer). If the author was this (the year of birth matches and so seems to do the name), then maybe PD-UK would not work here. worldcat does not state the year the book was published in, but it must have been after 1912 (as it mentions events from 1913). Maybe the picture was not in PD after all and I made a mistake...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
