This waited longer than I've ever seen before for a review, so I'll take it and do my best to get this resolved. Wizardman 14:32, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources all check out as ok, as do the images. I'll do the prose review (probably in spurts since my activity is low these days) over the next few days. Wizardman 23:46, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking this article for the GA review. Take your time. It has waited since November, so waiting a few more days is not an issue. Mr rnddude (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what I found for the lead/early references:

Since he apparently outlived Caesar wouldn't that confirm his death as 44 BC as opposed to 45 BC? As such, the lead should end his reign as 44 BC rather than the 44-45 BC split, unless Im really misreading something with him.

Lead's otherwise fine, though imo it gets kind of tangential to the Dacian Kingdom rather than just focusing on the man. For ancient history it's kinda something that has to be fine for these kinds of articles though so I won't worry about it. Wizardman 00:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I should leave some doubt to this question within the article itself. Some of my sources say in 44 B.C. "after", some say around the same time, and one says 45 B.C. So I've rephrased the lede and the associated text under Caesar's civil war and Death. Mr rnddude (talk) 01:14, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense; here's the rest of what I found:

"From the 4th century BC until sometime in the 2nd century BC" rm 'until sometime in' as that's already implied.
"These conquered cities were; Olbia," should be colon rather than semicolon.

That's all that's left that i found. Article on hold, I'll pass when the above is fixed. Wizardman 21:46, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wizardman - I've changed the semi-colon to a colon, and replaced 'until sometime in' with 'to'. Something has to connect the two parts otherwise you're left with: From the 4th century BC the 2nd century BC. I also removed a couple instances of the word would from a sentence and made appropriate replacements here. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:22, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman 13:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
