Government of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)[edit]

Nominator(s): Pericles of Athens^Talk 12:13, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been promoted to GA status and has been stable for quite a while now. I have recently beefed up the lead section to better represent the material found in the body of the article, in anticipation of a Featured Article candidacy. Aside from that there have been very few edits since the GAC process and these represent minor if not superficial change. The article is very short but covers a wide variety of topics, while utilizing a decent amount of scholarly sources. The images are all properly sourced and licensed. As far as I know there are no glaring omissions of any major themes covered in academia that pertain to this topic. For anyone who's a fan of ancient history, including the reigns of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great, it will most likely be an entertaining and informative read. Enjoy!

I'm a bit dismayed that this hasn't attracted much commentary, as it's a very interesting subject. Just a placeholder to note that I intend to review this soon. --Laser brain (talk) 17:26, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've made edits to the page to ensure all sources have identifiers, and fixed some issues with using page ranges for single pages. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 00:15, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is a citation without a bibliography, the Adams 2010 cite, which I believe should have this as its corresponding book, but am not certain enough to add myself. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 00:15, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Prose suggestions[edit]

Coord note[edit]

Like Laser brain, I'm sorry to see this hasn't had much in the way of review but I don't think anything will be gained from leaving it open, so I'm going to archive it. Given the relative lack of commentary I'm okay with waiving the usual two-week waiting period following an archive; perhaps getting into the top of the list in the new month will give it greater visibility.
