The section on Pederasty is troubling because it suggests hat pederasty and homosexuality are the same thing. Needs some rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.161.175.210 ( talk) 19:46, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
I was once told that Botticelli rejected the label "Italian", and fought a duel over it. Whether that's true or not, "Nationality: Italian" in the infobox is questionable for the time. — Tamfang ( talk) 19:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
(unindent) Try the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "The name and nationality of the maker(s) of the object are given, if known." [1] In the case of Botticelli it is "Italian, Florentine". [2] We follow reliable sources, not the opinions of editors. Ty 02:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't think there was any Italy when Botticelli was born. Italy was founded at the end of the 19th century. Why such inaccuracy? Mootros ( talk) 20:42, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
I have move the discussion over here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Visual_arts#Place_of_birth_in_infoboxes Please do respond over there instead. Thank you. Mootros ( talk) 00:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
@ Johnbod: First, I'm curious about something. While I happened to return to this article out of random chance and nothing better to do right now, I generally wouldn't in a case like this. How much effort is required to perform a revert like that, with changes in five separate locations within the article, without generating a notification of the editor you're reverting? As compared to the couple of clicks required for an "undo"? Why would one go to that extra effort unless it's in the hopes that the reverted editor will be unaware of the revert, thereby saving you the trouble of having to defend your revert? Is that entirely ethical in your opinion? Is avoidance of discussion the best thing for the encyclopedia?
And could you explain the "very good reason" why the user size preference shouldn't work at this article? ― Mandruss ☎ 23:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
At Aesthetic canon#Proportions in art, this uncited statement is made:
For his painting The Birth of Venus, the artist Sandro Botticelli stated that the distance between the nipple and navel, between the two legs and between the navel and the groin must all be equal for a figure to (in his opinion) be ideally proportioned.
I am revising Body proportions and would like to use this statement (if true) but not without a citation. Can anyone supply? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 19:56, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I found this sentence to be pretty difficult to understand:
Since the body of the article states "Their beauty was characterized by Vasari as exemplifying grace and by John Ruskin as possessing linear rhythm", perhaps it would be more clear to say:

At present the articles uses 'neighborhood" and "color", and also "neighbourhood" and "colour" etc, and it doesn't have a template stating which version if English it uses. The inconsistency was pointed out by someone playing Redactle, as it's today's target article. It looks to me as if British English is more widely used but I'm on phone and can't easily check.

In the later years section; it's footnoted, but unclear. Drawings for the manuscript of Dante's Divine Comedy perhaps? I hope someone who knows the source will clarify. Deliusfan ( talk) 16:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
