I'm concerned about the "Getting There" - this does not strike me as something that should be in an encyclopedia - surely this should be in WikiTravel? --PatrickJCollins 16:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I was thinking about writing an article, not a stub. I'm not from Siena, but I love the Palio and I belong to the "Contrada della Torre" (Tower). So, I'll be happyto write an article about that  FedericoCaboni
I've added a couple of lines reporting the animalists' complaints, really actual after today's fatal incident to the horse of the Bruco, a 8yo gelding, named Amoroso. --213.255.107.33 20:22, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Don't know about the date of foundation. It seems it was 1240. Don't know Italian but it is worth consulting the official website of the university.

thread_title:  University of Siena - 1204 ? 

message: Expanded the history of Siena, made a seperate Art and Architecture section containing a lot of the existing material, added some info for travellers.
Left the palio section as it is - it's right to have a seperate page.
Most of the info comes from Siena (J Hook), La Terra in Piazza: Interpretation of the Palio of Siena  
(A Dundes, A Falassi), and various tourist publications.  Corrections very welcome! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stuart Hardie (talk • contribs) 02:34, 21 June 2005 UTC.

replies: text: I have never seen the city referred to as Sienna in any english language textbook, in italy or the us.  Also, even if Sienna is the correct english spelling (which I doubt) it is more common on wiki for local city names to be used (eg: Mumbai vs. Bombay).  --NEMT 15:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I have added a short comment in the first line of the text proper to cover the alternate spelling. The spelling 'Sienna' is still in use in English and can even be encountered in academic contexts, presumably written then by well-educated individuals. It does no harm to inform interested parties that there is an alternative and that it is acceptable. Another disinterested reader (talk) 21:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sienna vs. Siena

message: This phrase: 
"Inside is the famous Gothic octagonal pulpit by Nicola Pisano (1266–1268) supported on lions, and the labyrinth inlaid in the flooring, traversed by penitents on their knees." 
needs a source. The idea that labyrinths were used as penitential sites has no contemporaneous documentation that I've been able to find; it appears to be a 19th c. fabulation (I know about the books by Doob and Wright, but they have no primary citations, either). I'm watching this page, if no alternative primary medieval sources surface, might suggest removing this phrase.Dellaroux (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
