I usually work on Chinese History articles, but this fellow seemed so important and intriguing in my mind that I couldn't just leave his article in the dilapidated state that it was when I first came upon it yesterday. I hope everyone enjoys the now comprehensive read, even though the article as of now isn't even 32 KB yet! This is certainly the shortest article I've ever submitted to be a FAC.-- Pericles of Athens Talk 03:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
"Involved through no fault of his own in the bankruptcy of the Buonaccorsi Company, part of the larger failure of the Bardi, Villani was imprisoned for debt in 1346.[19][20] However, it is known that several events described in Villani's Cronica surrounding the Buonaccorsi's bankruptcy was written to deliberately obscure the truth about the company's fraudulent behavior.[21]"

That extra "however" was just a left-over word from when I was playing around with moving sentences here and there to get a better flow to the article. I just deleted the extra "however". Fixed.-- Pericles of Athens Talk 16:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I believe improvements can be found in:
also :Doesn't "Nuova Cronica" properly translate as "New Chronicle"?-- Kiyarrlls ton 21:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for not iterating this here - I have crossed out my opposition, and have declared my opinion on the candidateship as neutral, presumably any further improvements would be to get a declaration of "support" for the candidateship.- I like the idea of Louis Green being linked, indeed because he is the noted more time in the article, I'd really prefer them all to be linked, I think wikipedia is lacking on it's coverage of historiography and authors that you quote should be notable or not in the article, and thus encyclopedic. - What about the other areas for improvement? what did you think of them? Those are more important to improving the article. - Thank you for reading my comment. I hope I have been helpful, please let me know how I could do better.-- Kiyarrlls ton 00:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
--- Sentence:"Giovanni Villani was born into the Florentine merchant middle class, the son of Villano di Stoldi di Bellincione, who came from an old and well-respected arti maggiori family of merchants." long compound setence, awkward. Giovanni Villani was born into the Florentine middle class. His father was Villano di Stoldi di Bellincione, a descendant of a well-respected arti maggiori family of merchants" is slightly better I think.-- Kiyarrlls ton 14:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I suggest, that as there is a EB 1911 Wikisource article, that, if possible, the 1910 EB citations are replaced with ones from the Ugo Balzani article in EB 1911. -- PBS ( talk) 16:34, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
