[edit] Walk to Canossa
I wrote this article using German sources. Most of the things listed here are more or less considered accepted fact in German history, and therefore not particularly worthy of citations. I tried, however, to cite a couple of things I thought might be curiosities. Is there anything else here that anyone feels needs to be cited or supported? - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 16:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

- What is there is fine, but it seems like it could have more context earlier in the article. The lead paragraph / section could be longer and needs to summarize the article better. It does not specifically say Henry IV was the Holy Roman Emperor, and makes no mention of the Pope(!), whom Henry walked to Canosa to see. It might also help to give the length of the journey and locate it better (a map? more description of where Canossa and Augsburg etc. are?). Where did Henry start from? If someone does not already know a lot about the topic, the article could be confusing at first read. Not everyone knows what investiture is or why excommunication was such a dreaded outcome at the time and explaining these succinctly might make everything clearer and explain why Henry did what he did. I liked the section on Canossa in German culture especially. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch 01:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
