GA Review

All up this is very good and I'm pretty well ready to list as GA. Very nicely written, paticularly given the lack of certainty on so many aspects of his life -- you handle that well IMO. A few things before closing/promoting...
- I'm guessing you'd have done it if you felt at all confident about it but I have to ask: can we not put approximate life dates in for this chap? We seem to be able to do that for a number of his contemporaries which, especially in the lead section, makes the fact we don't do it for the subject of the article himself stand out even more.
- I think probably identify W. Treadgold as "historian" or whatever he is -- use his first name as well...
- Not an absolute requirement, but you could add alt text for the images. I think they could afford to be a bit bigger as well, say 280-300px.

- Hello! First off, thanks for taking the time for the review. On the issues you raised, unfortunately neither the date of his birth nor that of his death are known, or any details whatsoever about his early life. We could speculate, but it would be merely guesswork. I added a "floruit" in the lede, just in case, but that's about it. Did Treadgold as suggested, added alt text and fixed some minor typo errors. If you have any further suggestions as to the text itself, i.e. if there is any place where it should be made clearer or more context provided, please do tell. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 13:56, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think that's all fine, the floruit is a good solution for the lead -- happy to pass this as GA, well done! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
