message: Would it be prudent to have "Trajan" and "Antoninus" link to their column pages, to suit context?

message: I've flagged this article, the text has obvious bias, see particularly the last paragraph:
:Sixtus died execrated by his own subjects; but posterity has recognized in him one of the greatest popes. He was impulsive, obstinate, severe, and autocratic; but his mind was open to large ideas, and he threw himself into his undertakings with an energy and determination that often compelled success. Few popes can boast of greater enterprise or larger achievements. Whig 06:37, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Bias? I've inserted the offending paragraph, so that we may see whether the flagging is really justified. Looks like a pretty mainstream assessment to me. I wonder what Whig's personal assessment of Sixtus V's urbanisation schemes for Rome is, if you get my drift. I see four well-chosen adjectives there: impulsive, obstinate, severe, and autocratic. Is his energy and determination doubted? Whig has made no edits at all at this article during the past year: is this a whimsical joke? --Wetman 09:01, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a perfectly standard assessment to me, don't see what the objection is, sorry. Bill 11:10, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

text: The article seems to incorporates text from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica not the text from Catholic Encyclopedia apart from a paragraph of which I have just added. As the person who added the NPOV was not edited the article since adding the   NPOV tag I have removed it. Philip Baird Shearer 12:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nothing about Pope Sixtus V Indulgences ?

message: In the 3rd to the last paragraph above "References", the grammatical construction of this sentence seems to be vague:  
:"This excommunication which Catholics of the day considered richly deserved, and there is extant a proclamation to justify it, which was to have been published in England if the invasion had been successful."  
Does anybody really understand what this sentence is saying?  I would like to see the sentence structure improved.  
Also in the 2nd to the last paragraph above "References", the following sentence could use some clarification: 
:"The Pope's negotiations with Henry's representative evoked a bitter and menacing protest and a categorical demand for the performance of promises."  
Specifically, a clarification should answer: a "bitter and menacing protest" from whom? and a "performance of promises" by whom?   H Padleckas 20:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: If I remember correctly Pope Sixtus V was one of the greatest rulers of his time. Not only did he bring order to a Roma without order, he improved all manner of buildings and roads. The finances of the Papal States had never been better, and under the rule of this Pontif life was great. He executed over 7000 brigands in the first five months of his Papacy, those bandtis had their heads mounted upon pikes on Ponte Sant Angelo in Roma. Sixtus V made Roma safe in a time when young ladies would get raped if not protected. --Margrave1206 23:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia article on Devil's Advocate says Sixtus created the office, but there is no mention of it in this biography.  It's a very important historical/philosophical/theological/legal issue, needs historical explanation of its origin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.195.10.116 (talk) 11:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
