:File:X mark.svg Not done. The Greekness of Alexander, and ancient Macedonia in general, has been argued on this talk page for twenty years (see the collapsed list of past discussions). The long-standing consensus is to characterize ancient Macedonia as Greek. A. Parrot (talk) 15:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

:::The reliability of Britannica is a mixed bag. Has the article been written relatively recently by a full professor? If yes, then it's reliable. If not, it's not. tgeorgescu (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Use of this sculpture image of Alexander the Great in the infobox

Articles of many historical figures use sculptures of them in the infobox. So, I think this sculpture image of Alexander suits better in the infobox. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 09:48, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

:I agree. But this has been discussed many times and it seems the supporters of the mosaic always get their way.★Trekker (talk) 11:13, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

:File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Where would this addition go? What is the text to be added? Why is this significant?

I changed this. It's an unecessarily complex way of expressing the fact that he fathered three children, and given that he was not married to Barsine it's also inaccurate.

I also restored the revision to 'thrice' which is pretty much archaic in modern English. Golikom (talk) 04:46, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
