Talk:Alexander the Great (Mind the Spear, Cleitus)

Suggestions
I noticed a few things when look over this article briefly. Firstly, I recommend naming Alexander's successor Philip, after his father. I think it is more likely that he would name his child Philip, whereas naming him after himself is kind of egotistic. His son in OTL was only really named Alexander because he Alexander III was already dead, and at the time Macedonian leaders and royals were fighting for as much legitimacy as possible. Although I am unsure what Alexander would have wanted to name his child if he was alive, I think this makes more sense, although it is certainty up for debate. Secondly I would get rid of the word "crusade" since that is a modern word, invented quite recently, and appearing in English in the eighteen century. Not to mention that Alexander's wars have little to nothing to do with the word's actual definition. Mscoree (talk) 20:03, December 4, 2014 (UTC)
