 * Despot John Palaiologos What relation to the Emperor and what Despotate?
 * His brother is meant, and the Despots usually did not have a "Despotate" (see the Despot article). To avoid confusion, however, I've removed the title and clarified that it is the same John who led the Nicaeans at Pelagonia. Constantine  ✍  08:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Link bishop, abbot and monk

 * Andronikos launched an invasion of Thessaly, but his troops were annihilated by malaria, and in the next year (1284 or 1285), John took his revenge by invading Epirus This wording made me initially think that John's revenge was against the Byzantines and not the Epirotes.

As usual, Sturmvogel 66, thanks for taking the time and your suggestions. Apart from the GA-specific criteria, anything that could be improved further? Constantine  ✍  08:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No, nothing that I can think of. Although I actually do know a little about the period so I may not be the best person to ask. I do, however, get a bit confused about the Latin Greek states and their leaders in the next century, if you're of a mind to tackle them.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
