Hi, I have just written an article about 13th century Italian language poetry. What do the Sicilian dialect and modern Italian have in common? Sicilian poetry is probably the first link of a long chain that forms what is today's Italian. What do you think? Are there any passages or language that sounds obscure? As we're trying to clean up the article, I welcome all your feedback and suggestions. Please leave your comment here or go to my discussion page. Have fun! --Wikipedius 23:06, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Personally, I reckon this article is good enough to take the clean-up tag off. The only gap I can see (within my limited knowledge) is that I have come upon the fact (a few times) that Giacomo da Lentini "invented" the sonnet. Seeing that he is perhaps the most prominent member of the Sicilian School, if a literary historian is able to support this, then it should clearly be included here (since presumably, the sonnet would have made its first appearance amongst this particular boys' club). --pippudoz 11:34, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
