After receiving GA from Generalissima I asked for a peer review to take this article to FA. In that review, Borsoka had a problem with sources that, in his view, were not general enough to reflect consensus. I have added more general sources, and have used multiple references to find and demonstrate majority views, but in his view this article, still, not only doesn't deserve FA, it doesn't even deserve a GA and should be reassessed accordingly. I am cooperating and asking for the community to weigh in. Jenhawk777 (talk) 07:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

One consequence of Byzantine military success is that, especially after 1018, many parts of the empire enjoyed a period of relative peace and prosperity as the threat of foreign invasion, ever-present in previous centuries, now diminished. The frontier districts, particularly newly incorporated Bulgaria, Syria and Armenia remained vulnerable to raids from neighboring nomads, so many urban centers such as Adrianople, Philippopolis, Antioch and Theodosiopolis retained their military function and garrisons. In the interior provinces on the other hand, particularly in what is now Greece and western Turkey, towns were flourishing as centers of industry and commerce. Archaeological excavations reveal that areas of Corinth and Athens, which had been deserted for centuries, had now been reoccupied and built over, and important industries had begun to grow up. ... In general therefore Byzantium was probably a more prosperous and settled society in the mid-eleventh century than the fragmented and localized countries of Western Europe.
Macedonian emperorsare political and off topic for this article.
...revival took place in the late 9th, 10th, and early 11th centuries. ... The cities of the empire expanded, and affluence spread across the provinces because of the newfound security. The population rose, and production increased, stimulating new demand for trade.That's exactly what Harris - and all the others - say. It's what I said.
later under KomneniI did say I have not done the late Middle Ages yet.
You are expected to respond to the reviewer's suggestions to improve the article to GA quality in a timely manner. It does not say that if anyone has any suggestions for improvement, that immediately sinks the nomination. This article meets the 6 criteria. You'll have to do better than this to prove otherwise.

When something in one section of an article is mentioned in another section, should it be referenced somehow? How? The investiture controversy is mentioned in the early Middle Ages but not actually discussed until the high Middle Ages. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:40, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Jenhawk777. Although the recent revert of brief mention of anti-Christian bias in the film industry is no biggie, could you clarify which aspects you believe appeared unneutral? Did you felt that the instances were too few to be worth mentioning here and hence WP:Undue?StarkReport (talk) 01:02, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Additionally, some individuals have pointed out anti-Christian bias in the entertainment industry. Some people, such as actor Rainn Wilson, who is not a Christian himself, have stated that Hollywood has often expressed anti-Christian bias.First, what makes Rainn Wilson an authority on what is accepted in Hollywood, or an authority on biases, or even an authority on what qualifies as anti-Christian sentiment? This makes it seem as if not being a Christian makes him an authority on anti-Christian bias - how? Does he practice it himself? How does he identify it? What qualifications does he have to do so, by what standard does he do so, using what definition? IndieWire is not a high quality source, it's a gossip rag that prints personal opinions as if they were facts. They aren't.
Similarly, actor Matthew McConaughey has mentioned that he has observed Christians in Hollywood concealing their faith to protect their careers.How many? How does he know that? That could have many explanations, and unless McConaughey has surveyed them all to be sure his interpretation is theirs, one has to allow for other possible explanations: personal privacy has to be a factor for some. A person's faith is one of our most intimate relationships. Maybe these quiet people just don't want their most intimate relationships splashed about and ridiculed in the media. It's a personal choice that is most likely made for multiple reasons - not just the one McConaughey says.

Jenhawk, I will weed this section a bit. I see some likely duplicates, like Jesus. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:42, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
