Removed unreliable references

[edit]

@Gog the Mild: I've removed all references using Canduci, as he is an unreliable source. Pinging you so that you can replace citations/remove content where needed. I've replaced all with citation needed tags, so it should be easy to find them. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:11, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

III?

[edit]

Who came up with this bizarre idea? She was the only Theodora who ruled as a full ruler, not a consort. And with sister Zoe one of only two full ruler empresses. Irene/Eirene was a usurper, others with great power, like Pulcheria, were Regents. Middle More Rider (talk) 14:26, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It seems to have been renamed several months ago with no discussion on the talk page; should somebody simply move it back? Katechon08 (talk) 08:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Middle More Rider and Katechon08: is the '11th century' qualifier even necessary? Theodora Porphyrogenita currently redirects to Theodora (daughter of Constantine VII), but the article doesn't say she had that epithet. Avilich (talk) 20:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the number back with sources (in a note) - it should be mentioned since it's used from time to time but it should not be the title of the article. I agree with Avilich that the '(11th century)' qualifier is not necessary since this is by far the most well-known Theodora Porphyrogenita. Ichthyovenator (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theodora Porphyrogenita (11th century)Theodora Porphyrogenita – Theodora Porphyrogenita currently redirects to Theodora (daughter of Constantine VII), where this designation is not even mentioned. This Theodora is a far more well-known figure (just compare the page views) and is usually the figure meant with "Theodora Porphyrogenita". Ichthyovenator (talk) 12:13, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Makes sense to me. Tisnec (talk) 04:12, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This could probably have been a technical move request; once the seven-day period is over I'll close this and round-robin them (unfortunately a bot fix prevents me from just overwriting the redirect). Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:28, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
