Birth date

@Ichthyovenator: the article gives three different dates of birth: the infobox 1470, the lede 1457, and the text 1484 ("In 1496, aged twelve"). Constantine ✍ 08:19, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cplakidas: Damn, you're right. The main source, Harris (2013) says "Constantine Komnenos Arianites (1457–1530) on page 651 and "In 1469, at the age of twelve" (1457) on page 652. "1496" must have been me mistyping 1469. No idea where 1470 came from, so I'm going with 1457. Ichthyovenator (talk) 12:55, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges: Thank you, I've implemented all your suggestions. I'm going to have to repay you for reviewing all of my stuff sometime. Ichthyovenator (talk) 07:52, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that; although that would require me to have an article ready for GAN sometime, and with the rate of my historiography works that might be longer than my natural life. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:12, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The speed of your progress notwithstanding, feel free to notify me if you eventually get something to GAN and are in need of a reviewer :) Ichthyovenator (talk) 10:56, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ichthyovenator: If you have any interest in FAC reviewing, I am currently attempting to get Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/German destroyer Z39/archive3 passed. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:13, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
