A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
Mostly clear and readable, a copyvio check found nothing. However, this sentence "..and was raised by his victorious brother to the rank of kouropalates and appointed him as Domestic of the Schools of the West.[3]" should be re-written as "...and his victorious brother raised him to the rank of kouropalates and also appointed him as Domestic of the Schools of the West.[3]" The other doesn't work grammatically.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 21:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm accepting the offline source AGF, as well as the two foreign language sources. Well cited, except for this sentence, "The crown then passed to Constantine X Doukas (r. 1059–67), although Bryennios asserts that it was first offered to John, who refused it, despite the pressure of his wife, Anna Dalassene, to accept.", which needs a citation, as well as this sentence, "Anna became involved in conspiracies against the Doukas family, whom she never forgave for taking the throne in 1059.", which also needs a citation.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 21:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I rewrote the problematic sentence. On the "missing" citations, in both cases the fact is cited by the next citation in each case (#7 and #11 respectively). I don't usually reference on a sentence-by-sentence basis. Once again, thanks for taking the time. Constantine ✍ 11:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
With citation #11, it isn't that major a deal, since the next sentence is still dealing with the same issue (the activities of Anna). I just wanted to make sure that citation 11 supports it. The first case, however, needs a citation, because it is directly summarizing a statement by Bryennios.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
