Talk:John II Komnenos

message: The article on John's son and successor, Manuel I Komnenos, has recently received a major re-write. After going through peer review, it became a featured article, appearing on the Wikipedia Main Page on May 16th this year. I am considering starting an improvement drive on this page as well, so I would be grateful for suggestions on how this page can be updated and improved. Thanks! Bigdaddy1204 11:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Ehm, sholdn't this have been discussed first, before moving articles? And why just move the Komneni and not the other Byzantine emperors? Also, now there ara a lot of double redirects that need fixing. -- Jniemenmaa 12:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was discussed on Talk:Constantine XI. Unfortunately the only options left to us were this, or something even worse, but there it is... Adam Bishop 15:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually all Byzantine emperors are in the process of being moved, it just takes time.  Right now those who reigned between 1059 and 1261 have been moved.  And double redirects are being fixed.Imladjov 16:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Territories lost since 1071 were recovered...etc.
No they were not. Look at Anotalia, less than half was recovered and nothing of Italy remains.Tourskin 03:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Out of curiosity, why is Kaloïōannēs translated as "John the Beautiful"? The literal translation would be "Good John" or "John the Good" and while in both Greek and English "good" can mean beautiful it's usually under specific circumstances.Do we have a reference or a source to that effect?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.189.24.193 (talk) 21:48, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

message: regarding this line: " As Alexios lay on his deathbed in the monastery of the Mangana on 15 August 1118 "
there were two monasteries in Constantinople at the time. St. Stephen and St. George both of Mangana.
could it be specified to which one it is?
note there are no pages for either Monastery yet.Eaamon (talk) 20:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
