[edit] External pics?

What's with the external links to images? Can't one be grabbed under fair use? Additionally, is there like a "requests" place on commons for pictures? It doesn't seem like getting a free pic of a Mongol bow would be that tough. Milto LOL pia 16:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

We can't use the images under fair use because we are not commenting on the images themselves (or their overall context). See Wikipedia:Fair Use for more details. Vectro 04:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mongol bow vs. English longbow

This article cites that the draw strength of an English longbow was LESS than that of the Mongol bow. From the Wikipedia article on the English longbow (which has references addressing this point) and actually the reference that is used for this article next to this point, I gathered that the longbow actually had a much greater draw strength (150-180 lbs), but had a lower range because of the Mongol bow's better construction.

That should be corrected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.74.101.130 (talk) 20:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
