Constantine Diogenes (died 1032)Constantine Diogenes – Full WP:RM request after declined speedy move. The early 11th-century general is by far the most notable bearer of the name: he was active in several campaigns against the Bulgarians, served as commander-in-chief in the Balkans, defeated the Pechenegs, was involved in two conspiracies and was father of emperor Romanos IV. By comparison his grandson, Constantine Diogenes (son of Romanos IV), was a very minor figure who is notable chiefly as the son of an emperor. Constantine 18:46, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

About time we got round to one of your historical namesakes... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:31, 11 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Indeed :). Pity there isn't more to go on, this will be one of my shortest GAs... Thanks for taking the time, and looking forward to the review. Constantine 15:56, 11 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Toolbox checks -- no dab/EL issues.

Prose/structure/content -- no issues remaining AFAIC but pls let me know if any probs with my copyedit.

Images -- licensing looks good.

Referencing -- reliably/formatting looks good.

Hi Ian and thanks for your edits. They look fine to me and have definitely improved the prose. Any further comments, or suggestions above and beyond GA requirements? Constantine 09:21, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Despite the article's brevity, I didn't find myself asking questions or particularly wishing for more, perhaps because the narrative flowed quite naturally from his early career to his death, and as someone who sometimes struggles to get detailed articles out subjects that only date back to World War II, I'm appreciative that we even have this much info on Mr Diogenes... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:23, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
OK then, thanks a lot again! Best, Constantine 10:45, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
