Great start, but... Wouldn't this naturally be at Battle of Lepanto? Yes, print encyclopaedias might title it that way to avoid having page after page of "Battle of <foo>" entries, but it looks a little stilted. And we have the "abc=" field in the metadata to make sure it shows up as "Lepanto, battle of" in alphabetic lists. J. Noel Chiappa 10:29, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

Battles usually take on their own name (we don't say the Attack on Pearl Harbor). I recommend putting the main word first. I learned that at Indexers, Society of, American. Richard Jensen 11:49, 1 April 2008 (CDT)
