Alexsander the great of europe, records within india taken by his people

Seems he detailed the indian Fort of Kangra, not sure if that could maybe be placed into the Indian section as it is the oldest of its kind miltray wise within india. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangra_Fort 92.236.96.38 (talk) 16:43, 29 November 2014 (UTC)Caplock[reply]

History: India

«India has more forts than any other country in the world». «India currently has over 180 forts». I think the first sentence should be changed. In Spain there are around 2500 castles. --Jfbu (talk) 10:32, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed it from the sentence. Considering the varying types of fortifications which exist and are covered in this article (castles, fortress, forts, city walls, blockhouses, martellos, etc.), its a pretty bold claim to make without a significant source to back to it up.

Nothing on Islamic world

I fixed the wrong headings, but this laid bare that we have nothing on fortifications in the Islamic world. They only start AFTER Muhammad, he lived in Arabia among a still pre-Islamic civilisation, so that's what we have. Worse even, pre-Islamic Arabia had fortifications long before his time, so even this section is very punctual (just around 600 CE).

I have added a "see also" tag with a long row of Muslim terms re. fortifications, but that's all we have for now. Arminden (talk) 02:37, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fort, the word, and "fortifications" the "words"

The word "fort" is primary, meaning it is highly useful and must not be tampered with, such as to not define it well, and such as to transform it always to "fortifications," to corrupt or "hack" the way the word "fortify" as in "make stronger," is used. -Zonkeideist (talk) 18:07, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think there's a part of the article which needs editing? Richard Nevell (talk) 19:34, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
