This is a long page and it benefits from having the images formatted and easily referred to as each image has been chosen to illustrate specific points, as the page is long it is impossible to place all images close to the relevant text, hence annotating them allows them to be easily and clearly referred to. Please do not revert or alter the numbering, as the whole page can become confused if this happens. Thankyou Giano 14:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I was rather surprised to see "Baroque" capitalize throughout. And still more surprised to note the inconsistencies, e.g. in this sentence: "Other Baroque characteristics, such as broken pediments over windows, the extravagant use of statuary, and curved topped windows and doors are all emblematic of baroque architecture, but can all be found on Baroque building all over Europe." Is there any good reason for this? -- jbmurray ( talk • contribs) 09:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
This is most likely not a reliable source, given it's publication by WIT Press a known predatory publisher. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 03:34, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
It's fine (having introduced it). Academics often have to resort to all sorts of publishers. Johnbod ( talk) 12:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
What now looks like a fascinating article, it:Rinascimento siciliano, was started in 2011 by Salvatore gioitta (still an active contributor). I can't judge it, because I can't read Italian. What now looks like a fascinating article (translation), fr:Renaissance sicilienne, was started in 2020 by Adri08 (also still an active contributor). I can hardly judge it, as the level of my French is appallingly low. What's now a sadly truncated article, Sicilian Renaissance, was started in 2021 by MaybeItsBecauseImALondoner (who seems to have retired).
I don't think that anyone has disputed that the Sicilian Renaissance was/is very notable and merits a long and fascinating article. But much of the article was unsourced, and therefore the whole thing was demoted to draft -- but later it was promoted to article, whereupon it had long-unreferenced chunks removed: a troubled history indeed.
What the article needs is editors with a solid background in these matters, who are proficient at reading Italian (the language of most of the sources provided so far), and who might even have access to the relevant codices. And where better to look for them than the talk page of this article, precociously started by Giano in 2005? -- Hoary ( talk) 00:07, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
