Merge[edit]

I have merged the articles on Constantine of Dumnonia with Constantine III of Britain, which essentially repeated each other's sometimes innacurrate information. I have also moved them both to this title, since the only historical reference to the king doesn't call him "Constantine of Dumnonia, but "Damnonia", which is possibly a significant distinction. And not even Geoffrey of Monmouth calls his derivative figure "Constantine III of Britain". There may be a better title, but this is my suggestion.--Cúchullain t/c 20:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will start soon. Hopefully later today, probably Friday. SpartaN (talk) 07:25, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Images are good, it's factually accurate and verifiable, definitely broad, represents different view points on the subject, and is stable. I do have a few prose suggestions:

  • "Cultus" - should be in italics, because it's Latin.
  • "A number of other traditions attested across Britain describe saints or kings name Constantine, suggesting a confusion and conflation of various figures." - does it mean to say the traditions "describing saints or kings named Constantine"?
  • "The church in Govan in present-day Scotland was also dedicated to a Saint Constantine." - should be "The church in Govan, a parish in present-day Scotland, was also dedicated to a Saint Constantine." Looks better than "..in Govan in.."

Good work. I thought I had work today and didn't. Plus, I happen to be familiar with Geoffrey and some of the other sources so that saved some time. The article was in pretty good shape, and I had to really nitpick here. There were a few places that word order looked odd, but I think it's just me. The prose will pass after you do the above.

All taken care of, thanks SpartaN. Anything else that you see?--Cúchullain t/c 15:41, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
