Improved to Good Article status by Catlemur (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 13:47, 20 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Corycus; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Article was promoted to GA status on 14 March, and was nominated within the required time period. Article is plenty long enough, at over 10,000 characters. Article is well-sourced and neutral. Spotchecks on "Graigner, John (2002)" references reveal no issues of copyvio or close para-phrasing, and the article is consistently supported by the citations. Hook fact is accurate and cited, and a Google books snippet lets me confirm it. Good to go. Harrias (he/him) • talk 21:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
