If you do not have data that those projectiles which broke the Theodosian Walls were thrown for 1.497km (or so), and weighed 498.9kg (or so), then those "500 kilograms" are "1000 pounds", and "1.5 kilometres" are "1 mile" - because "500 kilograms" and "1.5 kilometres" clearly look like approximations
There are no valid sources talking about 1500 imaginary Serbian Cavalry helping in the battle. Why has it still not been removed? Even if there were Serbs taking part in the battle they were taking part as Ottoman Janissaries.
I would appreciate it if User:Beshogur could explain here the reason why he keeps deleting this information from the infobox. All these small states were successors to the Eastern Roman/Byzantine empire and are thus mentioned here as having survived a bit longer until their own conquests. Deleting this just because you claim that ‘’no one cares about it’’ is not a valid argument. Highly recommend you to first discuss this intead of edit warring.

So you find it appropriate to put conquests in 1460, 1461, 1475 and 1479 about a conflict in 1453? The page is about the fall of Constantinople in 1453, not Ottoman conquest of Byzantine Empire and its rump states. Beshogur (talk) 15:48, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My point was that these were all the remnants/successor states of the Byzantines themselves. Its not a ‘‘irrelevant’’ thing at all to mention on this page/infobox. Woxic1589 (talk) 16:34, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's irrelevant in that way since the page is only about the siege. 1460 is 7 years later. It's like calling WW1 is ended, but fighting continues in Anatolia. Beshogur (talk) 18:03, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
