Merge

[edit]

I recommend that Siege of Ruad be merged into this one. There's really not enough information to support two entirely separate articles. Also "Siege of Ruad" is leaning towards original research, since it's not really a major term used by historians. Wikipedia should be following the lead of outside sources, not trying to initiate names for battles. --Elonka 17:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I agree. PHG 21:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree that it's a notable event, I just don't think it's worthy of a separate article at this time. I'd still recommend keeping it all at Ruad for now, and then if the article does grow to a much larger size, it will be easy enough to split out a separate "Siege" article at that time. --Elonka 22:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree, see how much better the world is when everyone agrees?. PHG 06:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Phoenician name

[edit]

Can anyone check that source? It seems pretty starkly at odds with the others. It seems they just struck their coins with their first initial, though, which makes it hard to clear up.  LlywelynII 05:40, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Greek name

[edit]

The hellenistic coins were struck with the inscription ΑΡΑΔΙΩΝ, which Wiktionary suggests means that its base name should be an ι-stem, which Arados doesn't seem to be. Any help?  LlywelynII 05:40, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

1200 BC?

[edit]

The section where it talks about the city being sacked in 1200 BC needs to be updated and researched. If this was the same time that other nations in the area came under siege from the sea peoples. Then it stands to reason that this was actually the same 100k + army of greeks that went to Troy. 24.112.192.195 (talk) 19:50, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
