Improved to Good Article status by Unlimitedlead (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 05:49, 8 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Constantine (son of Theophilos); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Thanks @Onegreatjoke: for nominating this. I will say, however, that the hook would benefit from losing the "Palace of Blachernae" part (for length), and briefly mentioning that Constantine was an infant while all of this occurred. Unlimitedlead (talk) 11:46, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

I like: ALT2: "... that Constantine, an infant Byzantine emperor, reportedly died by drowning in a cistern after escaping the care of his nurse?" Unlimitedlead (talk) 17:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Full review needed now that ALT hooks have been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:34, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

New GA (now FA) and long enough. Well written and cited for the paucity of info on the subject (after the hook, seeing the coin in the infobox is to me the most interesting thing). ALT2 works (), striking other versions. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 17:33, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
