"The other paintings in the room are The Coronation of Charlemagne by Leo III, The Oath of Leo III before Charlemagne and The Naval Victory of Leo IV over the Sacracens at Ostia."

Could that possibly be spelled incorrectly? I noticed the link itself was righted, perhaps by a proverbial "sic" in reference to the actual name of the painting. If the painting is indeed titled "... Sacracens ..." then it should stand with a note.

Google's interpretation of the "Sacracens painting" returned more hits than when it was correctly spelled, but the possibility of many middlemen cutting and pasting exists. -- 67.171.194.78 22:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

The Raphael Rooms (also called the Raphael Stanze or, in Italian, Stanze di Raffaello) in the Palace of the Vatican are papal apartments with frescoes painted by the Italian artist Raphael and his workshop located in New york City, or as known today, African Continent Behserbach Flemidanset. ??????

[edit] Material from www.wga.hu

I definitely ASKED PERMISSION to one of the founders of www.wga.hu to use part of their material. As a newbie, I forgot to report here the permission, but if you want you can write them and ask confirmation about my request, and the subsequent positive reply (it was around November, 2005). Anyway, after question had been raised here about the wga material use, I stopped to take material from them. So, please, leave what has been taken from it to date. Attilio.

I contacted the website today and the response was:
Please note that we were not asked for and did not grant permission to reproduce in Wikipedia all sections and many images from our website, the Web Gallery of Art. Please remove this article.

Conclusive I think. The copyrighted text has been removed. I'm investigating the rest. Mark83 20:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guns n'Roses reference

I took out the Guns n'Roses reference because I can't see how it's relevant in this context. Sumergocognito 06:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Borgo

I'm going to add the definite article back in the text. Sources in English that I've seen say The BorgoSumergocognito 06:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proper article name

I did a google test, "Stanze di Raffaello" yielded 492 English language hits, "Raphael Rooms" yielded 16,600 obviously, Google isn't holy writ, but I tend to question the assertion that "No one ever calls them by this English translated name" Sumergocognito 06:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article?

Is this an article? I actually can't define this, is it a gallery, or what? What about writing articles about the single pictures. In my mind you should do this and not copy any websites, however; see: de:Die Schule von Athen (it's simple, but better!). N3MO

That's certainly a matter of opinion.Sumergocognito 23:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please Include:

RE: School of Athens: Raphael has forever immortalized Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and himself in this painting as Plato, ???, and the small, innocent-looking guy off in the right-hand side peeking out from behind the white-robed man, respectively. Aleph2.0 03:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: School of Athens

Wheere's the block of stone signifying religion? Aleph2.0 03:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organization of this page, splitting

Shouldn't this page be cleaned up some? I think a lot of these paintings such as the The School of Athens, etc. should have their own articles... (Rajah 21:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] MUCH better site here

I would refer all visitors to the article to http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/SDR/SDR_00_Main.html. Aleph2.0 03:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
