Name of article[]
Not to rain on the parade.... But this is not the first battle that Kirkwall has seen considering that the Qunari had occupied the city prior to the battle we see in DA2, and that the slave revolt we hear about that ended Tevinter rule. Balitant (talk) 01:11, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
- "First Battle of Kirkwall" is indeed too broad; I'm suggesting to just call it "Second Qunari Invasion of Kirkwall". --D. (talk · contr) 04:05, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
It is an accurate name for the conflict, so yeah sounds good. Balitant (talk) 11:45, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
The article has bee renamed. --D. (talk · contr) 17:56, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
Date of Event[]
If I recall, this actually happened in 9:34 Dragon, not 9:33. The prologue of DA2 is in 9:30, and Act 1 is during 9:31. Act 2, when the Arishok and his qunari attack, happens three years after Act 1, which makes it 9:34 and not 9:33. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.252.136.193 (talk) 01:01, 17 May 2011
Arishok[]
Why is there constant mentions of the Arishock dying? In the outcome and casualities it mentions it as through it is impossible to avoid. That is one possible ending, as he could also be allowed to leave with Isabella unharmed. I thought this wiki tried to keep as concious of disrepacies as possible during DA:O, so why have we stopped bothering now.--Ironreaper (talk) 05:37, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
- You are welcomed to make the changes yourself, or simply tag the article with {{cleanup}} (with reasons if possible—it helps other contributors to know what needs to be changed). Just because the current revision has canon issues does not mean no one cares about that. A lot of articles need to be rewritten to address different types of issues, but this is normal on wikis. --D. (talk · contr) 06:33, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
Recent grammar tweak in Prelude section[]
It's a one word tweak that I made to ensure that a sentence had proper grammar; it was reverted and I readded it. You can see the edit I made in the article's history. To put it simply "the ensuring confrontation" makes no sense since ensuring is a verb (therefore not modified by "the") that means "to make sure of". I changed the sentence to "the ensuing confrontation" because ensuing is an adjective that means "resulting". The editor who reverted my change has 1) made some great contributions to the article and 2) included an edit summary that gave me the impression that they were trying for a specific meaning that I'm not catching. So I thought I'd bring the whole thing up here in case further adjustments were needed to bring about the intended meaning for the paragraph. Millahnna (talk) 09:58, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
Apologises. Was really dundoing previous edits to your that did not correctly follow the story. Yours is fine--Ironreaper (talk) 12:36, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
- It's all good, homie. I just wanted to make sure I dropped a note here in case I WAS missing something that you were intending there. You cleaned up so much stuff around the same time I wasn't sure that I wasn't missing a point somewhere. Force of habit from too much time spent goofing off on wikipedia. :D Millahnna (talk) 22:31, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
Considering criminals[]
During that battle Hawke's companions and qunari fought Coterie and Carta, so I wonder, if we can add them as 3rd fraction.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 12:06, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- No, because that implies they were a faction - and working together, which they weren't. They were just criminals taking advantage of the chaos. Alexsau1991
(talk page) 12:36, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Shouldn't something like "members of the Coterie and Carta took advantage of the chaos to start looting during the battle" be mentioned though? Ravenfirelight (talk) 12:40, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Alex, then what about adding a line between them like it was in earlier version of Amaranthine conflict (9:31 Dragon)?FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 13:07, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I have no problem adding a line in the article saying words to the effect that Ravenfirelight suggested. Alexsau1991 (talk page) 13:20, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I have no problem adding a line in the article saying words to the effect that Ravenfirelight suggested. Alexsau1991
Image[]
I think the image is too brutal and too spoileric, I suggest to replace it by that picture 
. Opinions?FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 16:09, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure why you bothered to start a discussion if you aren't going to actually wait for opinions, but yeah, I like this image better than the previous. --Kelcat (talk) 02:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
Move candidate[]
Per the timeline, the event is called "First Battle of Kirkwall". ··· 
d·day! 18:40, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

Aftermath[]
Is there a source for the Qunari compound becoming a templar training facility, or is that speculation? The compound ends up covered in the Chantry logo, but I can't find any reference to it being used for training templars specifically. 73.249.170.132 (talk) 03:40, September 26, 2016 (UTC)
