Talk:Donato Bramante

message: Can somebody please illuminate the public as to the surname often attributed to him: Lazzari?
Thhere's no mention of it in the article, but there should be, precisely because it IS still  attributed to him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.61.38.43 (talk) 23:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Lazzari" 

message: There's no mention that Bramante was taken off the St Peters project when the Pope died, and replaced by Sangallo, Giocondo and Raphael.  Raphael and Bramante were related (exactly how I'm not sure).   Sangallo and Giocondo died a couple of years later, and Raphael then had the sole running, until his own early death.  --  JackofOz (talk) 07:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: None of those guys contributed to the end product in the way that Michelangelo did. Michelangelo maintained the most basic elements of Bramante's plan, but changed the structure enormously. As it stands, the whole of the western end (dome, transepts, chancel) speaks more of Michelangelo than Bramante. Helen Gardner's statement about Michelangelo changing the "snowflake complexity" for a coherent whole sums it up very well. Amandajm (talk) 07:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

For example, see the Article on the Pantheon of Paris for the importance of the Tempietto.

replies: text: I don't advise doing this sort of edit (removing the sources). In the early days of WP the current inline referencing system was not in place, and even long after it was, these were not required or usual as they are now. Your assumption that references only given at the bottom were not used is very likely to be wrong - this was an entirely respecatable way of doing things.  Rather than adding tags and removing things, it is a good deal more constructive to pull up your sleeves and actually improve the content - this is a rather pathetically short article on a very major figure, and sources as good or better than those given are easily found.

Talk:Bernardo Rossellino

message: My experience at Wikipedia tells me that if I had expanded this article as well as this, my assessments would be peppered with  and . Be that as it may,
*If we don't actually know to whom Bernardo was apprenticed, we can't really call that unidentified master "one of that city's better-known sculptors".
*We can't say that Bernardo "achieved lasting fame" for the work planned in Rome, but not executed.
Links, such as Misericordia, need to be checked to ascertain whether they're relevant or not. Wikilinking will tie this article more firmly to the rest of the encyclopedia. --Wetman (talk) 19:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Buskett Gardens

message: "Indigenous forests once covered Malta, but trees were cut down for shipbuilding in the era when galleons plied the Mediterranean waters and for agricultural purposes."  Is this true?  Certainly in 1530 when the Knights arrived in Malta, they complained that it was a barren rock, with little topsoil or water.  Buskett was planted by the Knights.  I'm not disputing that once it was covered by forests (pretty well everywhere was at one time, even the Sahara) but not, I suspect, up until the days of galleons. Simhedges 20:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Beli dvor

message: Re LukaP: It is perhaps best not to copy and paste text directly from a website, which might be misconstrued as using it as your own work. While I realize that you noted www.royalfamily.org in your source list for this article, you did not footnote the material. In any case, I did a great deal of research about Beli Dvor for a book about the Paris decorating firm Jansen and was in contact with CP Aleksandar via email about the history of the house, et cetera. Therefore, given that research and subsequent research, I have reverted to a version of my previous work. Mowens35 14:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: A pity that - as so often on Wikipedia - this article has (clearly) been written by a Dutch-speaker who has not bothered to have the English text checked by a native English-speaker. Not that it can't be understood, at least as far as I can see - but I don't think Wikipedia should become a vehicle for unidiomatic English that will inevitably be copied by other non-native users, further reducing the quality of English usage not only on the Internet, but in the world in general.

Talk:Malvinas Argentinas Partido

message: Mariano, si queres borrar algo por lo menos abri una discusion y explica porque lo borras.
:Sorry, I thought it was obvious, but point taken. Your edits are least to say controversial, and you provide no sources to support them. If it was a less problematic paragraph I would mark it as needing citation, but difamatory statements like that should be backed-up by sources. I have no clue about the guy, and I trully hope you can provide the sources to support it. Nevertheless, have in mind that this article is about the Partido and not about Jesus Cariglino, thus in a few years that information might not valid anymore.

Talk:History of synesthesia research

message: Ed, 
Regarding the quote from Locke, I have been considering adding the following to the article:
"Although it is mainly speculation, there is reason, however, to suppose that the person Locke referred to was the mathematician and scientist Nicholas Saunderson, who held the Lucasian professor at Cambridge University, and whose generally prominence would have made his statements noticeable.  In 'Letters on the blind', Denis Diderot, a disciple of Locke, mentions Saunderson specifically in related philosophical reflections."
I have held off on this, however, because, as you may see, I cannot yet provide a solid reference on this.  I know that I had one, in the past, that was reliable (thus the blurb on my own web pages); however, like an idiot, I didn't record the cite there, and have since misplaced the reference.  I'm trying one again to track it down.
My guess is that we should just hold off on this.  However, considering how I have it worded, what do you think of its inclusion?  It might provoke others to help substantiate it (maybe someone else could track down the reference quicker than I could).--Sean A. Day 14:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Sean, I agree with you about Nicholas Saunderson; perhaps it's from you, but I have a distinct memory that I have heard this before (it's probably from you).  I say we go ahead and put it up, and then add a  tag to it in the hopes that someone else will find the reference for us quickly... the great distributed power of the internet.  Someone might know this off the top of their heads, and of course, then we could add him to the famous synesthetes page, too.  BTW, what about having someone besides us, like Jorg Jewanski look over what we have so far?  I'm sure he could add a lot more detail.  One thing that I would like to add is a paragraph about the artistic movement that grew up in European salons about the same time that scientific research into the topic began.  I'll draft something tonight, and you can take a look at it when you get a chance.  Edhubbard 17:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I think it is an excellent idea to pull in Jörg regarding this.  Re Saunderson, I am remembering better two different sources I looked at back about four years ago, when I was at Miami Univ.  One was a copy of Locke, in which the editor added a bit re Saunderson in a footnote.  The other was a biography of Saunderson, which noted this relationship re Locke.  I will see if I can hunt them down.  Meanwhile, I will insert my blurb about Saunderson into the Wiki article, as I feel quite confident about it and figure that, eventually, someone will find the supporting references.--Sean A.

message: I've tried to do something to this page but because some of the bands do not already have a wikipedia entry it still needs a lot doing to the article.
I would suggest that because he goes under the names of Christian Smith, Christian Pancorvo, Christian Pancorvo Smith and Christian Smith Pancorvo that perhaps it will need some redirect links.

replies: text: Actually, one is a subset of, or variant derived from, the other, the way they are worded isn't really clear.  Merger might make it easer to sort that out and easier to maintain one article, but consider categorizing the redirect from the other as well (probably still needs to be all on the same logical line as the redirect itself to work right), because that category listing  is one thing that would otherwise be lost in  merging.

REMOVED TEXT BEGINS
Letters from King Mongkut to Anna Leonowens
In 2003, the Art & Culture Magazine (a respected Thai publication) discovered 8 letters written by King Mongkut addressed to Anna Leonowens gathering dust in the National Archives. These letters make it very clear that Leonowens was no mere English teacher, but was effectively a political negotiator for King Mongkut. I will incorporate content from these letters in a rewrite of several sections of the article. Read the letters and commentary in Thai in articles entitled "Anna Leonowens: Who says she's a compulsive liar?" (http://www.matichon.co.th/art/art.php?srctag=0604010147&srcday=2005%2F09%2F01&search=no) and "King Mongkut’s letters to Anna: When Madame Teacher plays political negotiator" (http://www.matichon.co.th/art/art.php?srctag=0652010447&srcday=2005%2F09%2F01&search=no). Read further commentary at http://sanpaworn.vissaventure.com/?id=188
REMOVED TEXT ENDS
Reason: this text may be of interest but does not belong in this article. Possibly it would be better located in Anna Leonowens but I suspect it may be original research.
