Improved to Good Article status by Catlemur (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 13:47, 20 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Corycus; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Article was promoted to GA status on 14 March, and was nominated within the required time period. Article is plenty long enough, at over 10,000 characters. Article is well-sourced and neutral. Spotchecks on "Graigner, John (2002)" references reveal no issues of copyvio or close para-phrasing, and the article is consistently supported by the citations. Hook fact is accurate and cited, and a Google books snippet lets me confirm it. Good to go. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 21:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
