Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria[edit]

I believe the article is comprehensive, well-written and well-structured (it was written by the Bulgarian University of Michigan byzantologist Ian Mladjov), so I decided to take it here. I'd particularly like to know if the lead section is not too long and if it is, to what extent should it be shortened. The article also certainly needs some more references. Could someone suggest any other good sources and help with inline citations (if they are really needed)? Another thing, is the length of the article sufficient (today's featured article "James II of England" doesn't seem to be much longer if we exclude the enormous "Issue" section). Thanks in advance! → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 14:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years, decades, and centuries without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.
  • Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here. (date of access, ISBN numbers, etc. - check out {{Cite book}}.)
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. For an article of this length, the lead should contain 1-2 paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.
  • This article can use copyediting to ensure that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. For example,
    • and Maria (Eirene), daughter of Andronikos III was planned comma missing after III
    • This peaceful turnover constitutes the last major success I could be wrong, but shouldn't constitutes be in the past tense?
    • and perhaps other copyediting fixes for grammar/spelling are needed.

Thanks, Andy! References now use {{cite book}}, the intro has been shortened a bit (is it sufficient?), some copyediting has been done and the dates' links have been removed, footnotes have been added (is it OK this way?). Any further suggestions? Todor Bozhinov  → 17:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
