I propose reviewing this article which I see has been waiting 8 months for review. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

First reading

In general, it is well-written and short, but its length is not material if little is known about him.

• The lead is too short. Please add a few more sentences summarising the main body of text.
• "He was born ..." Start the main text with his full name.
• His date of death is contradictory as between the infobox and the opening part of the text.
• "His uncle raised him ..." This sentence is rather long and would benefit from splitting.
• "if Paul Gautier's dating of a letter he received from the philosopher Michael Italikos to Christmas 1142 is correct." I don't understand the reference to Christmas here.
• "This title apparently fell into disuse ..." This sentence is also rather long and would benefit from dividing.
• "The couple had four children, of which two died in young age" Perhaps "at a young age".
  • That's all for now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, a big thank you for taking this on. I think I have addressed the points you raised above. Can you give it another look? And of course, any suggestions for improvement, beyond GA requirements, is appreciated. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 13:02, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

@Cplakidas: I am satisfied with your improvements and the expanded lead. I don't suppose there are any images available? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, unfortunately not, not even a seal of office or something similar that might serve the purpose. Constantine ✍ 20:08, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

GA criteria

• The article is well written and complies with MOS guidelines on prose and grammar, structure and layout.
• The article uses several reliable third-party sources, and makes frequent citations to them. The sources are mostly not available to me and are accepted in good faith. I do not believe the article contains original research.
• The article covers the main aspects of the subject and remains focussed.
• The article is neutral.
• The article is stable.
• There are no images because none are available.

• Final assessment - I believe this article reaches the GA criteria. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:05, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks again for taking the time, and for your suggestions. Constantine ✍ 10:23, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
