Marriage of Empress Theophanu

[edit]

Created by Thine Antique Pen (talk). Self nominated at 17:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Nice article, long enough, new enough and very well sourced. However, I think it may be mistitled - it should surely be the marriage charter of Theophanu (I see many references to the document as a marriage charter [1]). I'd therefore suggest a slightly more accessible hook, as follows, with a retitled article:
I think this would be clearer to the non-specialist who wouldn't be familiar with the term consortium imperii (which I'd think most people wouldn't have heard of). Prioryman (talk) 21:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I've moved the article and would be fine with that hook. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 22:00, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
  • OK, that's great. We're good to go with ALT1. Prioryman (talk) 22:17, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
  • @Prioryman: per Rule H2, you cannot approve your own hook. Could another reviewer take a look at this? Yoninah (talk) 14:12, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Apologies, had forgotten about that! Prioryman (talk) 14:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
  • for ALT1. The article's date of creation is November 23, the length is fine and the copyvio check didn't turn up anything unusual. Offline references are accepted in good faith. That's a nice article you've written.-RHM22 (talk) 07:13, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
