[edit] Image- May 2003

I'm glad to see the photo captures the true essence of the Cathedral wit Pigeons and their droppings (polite!) all over the place. User:Jacques Delson

I hate to say it, but to be honest, this one is so fuzzy I was rubbing my eyes. A sharp color picture would be better - I have one, but may be a while before it gets scanned in. Stan 18:57 May 6, 2003 (UTC)

I took that photo with a cheap roll of b&w film I'd picked up in the Czech Republic. I rather liked the effect on that one, but if someone has a better photo to add or replace it with, I certainly won't be offended. -- Infrogmation 19:09 May 6, 2003 (UTC)

Is this one good enough ? -- PFHLai 14:15, 2005 May 15 (UTC)

Um, since it is of Monza's Duomo, not Milan's, no. It also has no licence info. -- Infrogmation 03:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Oooops ! Monza is near Milan, but not Milan. Big difference. My mistake. Never mind ..... -- PFHLai 04:23, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

[edit] Foto-strip

The layout, which features a strip of illustrations, all a uniform size, down one side like a brochure for a honeymoon hideaway, appeals to the culturally impoverished. Better layouts are strenuously resisted at Wikipedia. No sense in wasting time. --Wetman 05:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

More of a constraint of HTML - which isn't great at fancy layouts in any case - that is further constrained by Wikipedia's need to accomodate the widest possible range of web access devices. Ultimately Wikipedia is about communication rather than looking pretty. Sure, communication can sometimes be aided by fancy layouts, but Wikipedia is operating under a lot of constraints - just getting a HTML page to look reasonable on a 800px wide screen and a fancy 24" widescreen can be pretty difficult, and that's without the possibility of having the whole world fiddling with your design after you've done it! Down the right hand side may not be pretty, but it's effective. FlagSteward (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ludovico Sforza

Ludovico Sforza was taken prisoner by the French in 1500 and died in France un 1508. Thus, he could not be involved with the Milan Cathedral in 1500 - 1510.

[edit] Good article?

This article desperately needs more references, but aside from that I'd have thought it would be a good candidate for GA, and wouldn't be a million miles away from a FA if anyone wants to give it a go. I'm not volunteering... ;-/ FlagSteward (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
