A discussion occurred at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies)/Style War proposed solution about a solution to the ongoing style wars on Wikipedia. The consensus favoured replacing styles at the start of articles by an infobox on styles in the article itself. I have added in the relevant infobox here.

A Significant part of the article (especially near the end) appears to be a copy of Catholic Encyclopedia Leo XIII especially near the end, with common phrases such as "Under Leo the religious orders developed wonderfully; new orders were founded, older ones increased, and in a short time made up for the losses occasioned by the unjust spoliation they had been subjected to."

In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that when either of two styles such as 14 February or February 14 is acceptable, it is inappropriate for an editor to change an article from one style to another unless there is a substantial reason to do so. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If an article has been stable in a given style, it should not be converted without a style-independent reason. Where in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) [1] Ujntul a few days ago, all dates in the Leo XIII article were in the February 14 order. Therefore it was inappropriate to change this article from one style to another. -- Thomaq ( talk) 15:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Guys, can we work out here which format it should be? Whether autoformatting is used or not, our readers still see what you key in. The relevant balance is between MOSNUM on "retain the original format" (which was US for the first year at least) versus "strong ties to a country" (I don't think Italy 1900 figures much there, but argue it out here). Tony (talk) 12:15, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
It seems remiss - with regard to the article section "Relations with the United Kingdom and the Americas" - to not have a link to this papal letter to Cardinal Gibbons and the U.S. bishops. It is one of Leo's principal statements of "policy" and attitude towards the United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.60.165 ( talk) 15:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I found this on the Annum ingressi site, and am not sure what this has to do with the letter, but someone may want to put it on this page:
*[[Leo XIII]] awarded a gold medal [http://www.wings.buffalo.edu/aru/preprohibition.htm] to a fashionable [[19th century]] [[cocaine]]-laced wine called ''[[Vin Mariani]]''. <ref> [[Paolo Mantegazza]] a prominent [[Italy|Italian]] [[neurology|neurologist]], [[physiologist]] and [[anthropologist]], isolatied of [[cocaine]] from [[coca]] leaves and experimentally tested it on himself in 1859. Afterwards, he wrote a paper titled ''Sulle Virtù Igieniche e Medicinali della Coca e sugli Alimenti Nervosi in Generale'' ("On the hygienic and medicinal properties of coca and on nervous nourishment in general"). described the effect of cocaine on [[cognition]]. </ref>
The first bit came from this article! The second bit is from Paolo Mantegazza. Imacomp 20:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Someone should put this into the article as his cocaine approval and authentic "controversial" material to some are essential on wiki articles.

I have come across adverts for the wine in newspapers/periodicals of the time. Jackiespeel ( talk) 22:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Why the article does not even mention it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.192.248.201 ( talk) 06:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
In this edit [1] user Xanderliptak clearly stated that in his opinion there is consensus that History2007 and Scolaire also think images need actual sources. Hence, the new image that some IP (may be a sockpuppet) added, can be deleted. There is further discussion on the talk pages of the users mentioned above, to the effect that History2007 and Scolaire have rejected Mr Liptak's personal creation of a coat of arms for Leo XIII.

Since you keep talking about me, let me clarify some things about myself please. Of course, in Wikipedia one can not speculate on the motives and intentions of other users and one assumes good faith at all times. So let me provide you with a few pieces of information about my own intentions. I edit with a user name and I do not use Wikipedia as a means of promoting a business or service. I promise. When I wrote probability measure the other day, I did not add my name to it so people would call me for consulting work on risk assessment afterwards. I did that because many people were clicking on that page and got no information. I did that just as a free service for whoever anted to read it. I am not an artist. I do not post my own artwork on Wikipedia and hope to increase my reputation, and get further business. I am not here to use Wikipedia as an advertising medium. Does that answer your question?
