[edit] Bob III

The article mentions "Pope Bob III." I've never heard of this pope, and it might well be an error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.116.84 (talk) 19:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Of course it is! We call those kinds of edits "vandalism" since they're usually posted as jokes or pranks. Brutannica 04:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Successful good article nomination

I am glad to say that this article which was nominated for good article status has succeeded. This is how the article, as of June 29, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Pass - Exceptional prose, though a few minor spelling errors to be found.
2. Factually accurate?: Pass – copious citations available for reference
3. Broad in coverage?: Pass – extremely thorough.
4. Neutral point of view?: Pass – prose is objective.
5. Article stability? Neutral – There has been a flurry of edits of late, all by the nominator. While feeling it significant and would like to see further time pass to permit other knowledgable editors opportunity to review, I don’t feel it sufficient to impel an otherwise passable article.
6. Images?: Pass – all are in compliance at this time as far as I am able to ascertain.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status. — jackturner3 19:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Prince de la fortune"

I would like to say that in five years spent in studying history at home in France, I have never heard the phrase "prince de la fortune" applied to a cardinal-nephew. It is called a cardinal-neveu as in this example of an abstract in a scientific journal. Otherwise I really like this article, it's very good and informative. Go on this way ! Have a nice day.

[edit] Eyes

What's with the "eyes of jimbo" thing at the top of the page. It's also here. ++Arx Fortis 14:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...it's gone now. Looked like vandalism, but apparently it's from the fund-raising effort. Rather odd. ++Arx Fortis 15:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pius VI - "Cesana" family???

What's that Cesana family? maybe who wrote meant that he came from the town of Cesena instead? His surname was Braschi. --Basil II 22:41, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

Sorry, should have been an indefinite article. Thanks for catching that. Savidan 08:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Praise

I love this article. Why? Because I learned something. I had no idea who or what cardinal-nephews were. And I think that's the highest compliment an article can get. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 23:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
