[edit] Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood

Your well-written and carefully-researched article on an important fresco was certainly worth any little contributions I could make: you should see my typos! Rather a lot of red-linked names there, but people do have to be fully introduced at first appearance unless they're as familiar as, say, Vasari. In general, though there is a cathedral in Florence, always called the Duomo, in spite of Wikipedia's Florence Cathedral [sic], there is no "Cathedral of Florence". The singular of condottieri is condottiero— as I recently was taught, having written condottiere for years. Kudos to you! I must look through your contributions, since I didn't know your work til now. --Wetman (talk) 22:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits. The errors you found are to be expected as the article is based on a paper I only had a week to write for an art history class. The other paper I wrote for that class is currently on the main page though... Savidan 22:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I can never see my own typos. Should all those condottieri have individual articles do you think? I listed some at condottiero once, long ago... Looking about now, I wonder how I have missed your name.--Wetman (talk) 08:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Eventually, I'll probably do some preliminary searches on each of them and eliminate the redlinks for the articles I consider untenable at this time. Savidan 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Updated DYK query On 9 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood, which you created or substantially expanded.

[edit] Papal names

Congratulations, nice work. Did you know that Popes until and including Pope Pius IX called themselves POPE AND KING? I have an old etching of Pius IX with that title. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 19:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I haven't even begun that article...I've been busy. I didn't know that, and am a bit skeptical of whether they all did that and in what contexts they would have used that title, interesting find though. Savidan 19:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Well the title "King" refers to the position as head of the "Church State" or "Papal State", which ceased to exist in 1870. Pius IX, not recognizing the Italian conquest, kept the title to his death in 1878. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Growingup20062008.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Growingup20062008.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks like you were going through images a little to quickly or using a some form of semi-automation. There was already a fair use ratinonale on the page when you added the tag. Please be more careful in the future. Savidan 20:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clement VIII and Pietro Aldobrandini

Pope Clement VIII and Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini were not brothers. Pietro was nephew of this Pope on his father's side. Clement VIII was son of Silvestro Aldobrandini, governor of Fano, and Lisa Donati, while Cardinal Pietro was son of Pietro Aldobrandini and Flaminia Ferracci. Source that you've cited probably confused Pietro Aldobradini with Cardinal Giovanni Aldobrandini, who actually was older brother of Clement VIII, but was elevated in 1570 by Pope Pius V and died in 1573. Adnote that Clement VIII was born in 1536, while Pietro in 1571. 35 years is quite unusual difference of age for brothers. See:

[edit] Ludovico Migliorati and Gaetani Stefaneschi

Ludovico Migliorati and Cardinal Giovanni Migliorati were certainly different persons. The events described by The Catholic Encyclopedia concern Ludovico, but according to Kazimierz Dopierała "Księga papieży" ("The book of the Popes"), Pallotinum, Poznań 1996, p. 262-263, Ludovico Migliorati was a condotierre and layman, and does not mention his promotion to the cardinalate or any other ecclesiestical post. In 1406 Ludovico was named by Innocent VII lord of Ancona, a lay office, while Giovanni Migliorati four years before election of his uncle was elected archbishop of Ravenna. Adnote that papal genealogy, which mentions Ludovico, does not refer him as cardinal. The Catholic Encyclopedia confused these two relatives of Innocent VII in this way that atributed to Ludovico promotion to the cardinalate which actually concerned Giovanni. Konrad Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii Aevi. Volumen I, p. 26 list only Giovanni Migliorati among Innocent's VII cardinals.

About Giovanni Caetani Stefaneschi I'd rather trust Salvador Miranda and his website than The Catholic Encyclopedia. Both these sources say that he was son of Pietro Stefaneschi and Perna Orsini, so he certainly wasn't nephew sensu stricte of Boniface VIII. Possibly he was distant relative of this Pope, and as such he may be added to the list with the question mark. Similary, Cardinal Jacques Fournier (Pope Benedict XII) may have been relative of Pope John XXII, who elevated him in 1327, but it is not certain.

CarlosPn (talk) April 21, 2008 15:12 (CET)

BTW, I've removed the note that Francisco Borja was possibly son of Callixtus III, because from his biographical entry (note 2) appears that it is rather unlikely. I think that alleged natural children of Popes is very delicate subject and we should be careful in providing uncertain informations about it. Pope Callixtus III is referred rather as very austere and piety man (see f.e. his characteristics by L. Pastor, "History of the Popes vol. 2" or on The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church), and his alleged illegitimate son does not correlate with these characteristics. Adnote that Aldea, "Borja, Francisco de." Diccionario de historia eclesiástica de España, I, 279, saying that Francisco was son of Alonso de Borja (Callixtus III), adds that he was born before Alonso received the holy orders. But Francisco was born in 1441, while Alonso de Borja was consecrated to the episcopate on August 31, 1429, twelve years before, so this information seems very ureliable.

CarlosPn (talk) April 21, 2008 15:37 (CET)

I agree that Miranda has served us better in the past than the Catholic Encyclopedia. Thanks for your input and (as always) your dilligent research. Do you think its worth having a section for people inaccurately referred to as cardinal-nephews? I am uncertain. I will look into Benedict XII. I'd like to make this a featured list one day; do you think we'll ever be secure enough in its completeness to do so? Savidan 00:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
G. Moroni Dizionario di erudizione storico-ecclesiastica da S. Pietro sino ai nostri giorni, vol. V, p. 5 claims that Benedict XII was nephew of John XXII on his mother's side, so it's seems that he may be included in the list. However, I think that we'll never be able to ascertain that the list is complete and without mistakes. Looking deeper in the past, the more uncertain informations and more unsolvable discrapencies in the sources we could find. For example, probably we'll never be sure whether Giovanni Visconti was ever promoted to the cardinalate, and - in consequence, whether he sould be included or not in the list of cardinal-nephews...:/ CarlosPn (talk) April 23, 2008 15:27 (CET) —Preceding comment was added at 13:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear Savidan,

Thank you very much for your valuable contribution to the Water resources management in Brazil article.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Sanfedismo

A tag has been placed on Sanfedismo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mr.whiskers (talk) 16:28, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Do one job well and get two more, eh? :) I'll take a look; I generally tend to stay away from translation, though. Most foreign language wikipedia's, including italian, just aren't adequately sourced (at least for the articles that I've wanted to take). I have no way of knowing that I'm not just translating speculation. Useful for finding search terms though. Savidan 01:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image PPXII

Thank's for your intervention. I might need your advice on that. Here is the story. P12 liked the larger picture by Boden(the British artist), because "it actually looked like me". Pascsala; happy, because he finally liked a painting, helped the artist and got a small pic of the head only from him as a present. This is her property. She permitted me to make a copy of that small pic in 1962, I got later a second one, and this 1962 copy is on the page. I might not have used the right copyright category, and you have much experience in this area, so I appreciate your advice. I have other originals from her as well, including additional picture and some hand written notes and letters, so this is a much larger issue. A second issue concering me is size. did I overstep Wikipedia boundaries, and, if yes, how does one downsize a pic? The pic itself is quite nice as you probably agree. Thanks --Ambrosius007 (talk) 16:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank's for your quick reply. Pascalina, the assistant of PPXII, was the legal owner of the pic. Does this not give her copyright? And can she not confer this to me? What about all the other pics and documents I have from her. Im I not the owner of these, especially the hand written documents, which are not copies? I changed the text of the description, after your intervention.

Fair use I found in an Picasso article, where several of his later picures are shown under this policy. Since the PPXII picture is to show the "Pastor Angelicus", (Malachian prophesy of PPXII), I could use the fair use rationale, to be mentiond in the article as well. However, if this cannot be clarified and you still feel more comfortable with keeping the old picture up top, we can just replace the two. No big deal. Thank's for your help. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 16:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC) PS I plan to add a small childhood pic (from 1884) which should be unproblematic bcause of age.

Thank you this is very helpful. I will look into this, take me a few days. Of course she is dead by now. But better safe than sorry. If you prefer to switch, go ahead. If not, it can wait. Thank's again for your help in this matter. I keep you posted.

--Ambrosius007 (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC) Thank you Savidan, the images support the text in a sense, as they show a human PPXII. I appreaciate your help later on, as I am not familiar with these issues. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems that Template:Infobox popestyles the infoboxes of the popes was drastically changed, note the new purple color, which is just aweful. Because of increased size, there is now a space problem on top, which we (and other pope pages) did not have before. I moved the signature in the text, that helped a little, but i am not familiar with these things. Kindly take a look at it at your convenience, no hurry.--Ambrosius007 (talk) 20:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] quote

Thank's for asking. The quote expressed a common view (with implicit accusation), that PP12 notably did not elevate Tardini and Montini in 1953.

True enough, but other Monsignore were not elevated either. If this sentence is to make sense in a biography of Pius XII, it must mean something. Did he overlook them ? Did they ask for it? Were they entitled to it by position?

None of the above applied. I replaced the quote with a more accurate quote from the Pope himself, indicating that these two guys refused the red hat in 1953, which of couse is quite a different story. The papal quote is from his allucation to the new cardinals. If you go to the tardinin page, go get additional detail, including how this poor chap, despite of his serious illness, was forced into the promotion by John XXIII which he had rejected five years earlier from Pius XII. He died within three years of a massive heart attack. The same point was raised in PAUL VI. Thank`s again. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hallo, Why not! Fine, but the story did not end here. AFTER they turned down the red hat, Pius XII gave them new titles as Pro-Secretary of State, and, in addition both were grated the privilege to wear Episcopal Insignia. [2]

Well, you are right, but I replaced the quote because, by itself it was wrong and gave a wrong context. The question here is how much do we want to go in detail: ... because the story continued. After they turned down the red hat in 1953, Montini was appointed to Milan a year later in 1954. FYI I wrote in Pope Paul VI on this issue:

  • Montini was appointed in 1954, to the senior Italian church post of Archbishop of Milan. Traditionally such an appointment would be followed by being made a cardinal at the next consistory (when vacancies in the College of Cardinals are filled). To the surprise of many, Montini never received the red hat (as the appointment to the cardinalate is often called) before Pope Pius's death in 1958; Pius XII. had only two constitories during his pontificate, in 1946 and 1953. He offered the red hat to Montini and Tardini in 1953, but they turned it down. Montini did not get the red hat after 1954, because the Pope did not have a third consistory before his death in 1958. This meant that all archbishops, appointed after 1953, who could expect the honor because of tradition and importance of their city, did not get the red hat, (Montini Milan, O’Hara Philadelphia, Cushing Boston, König Vienna, Godfrey Westminster, Barbieri Montevideo, Castaldo Naples, Richaud Bordeaux) Pope Pius revealed at the consitory in 1953, that two (Tardini and Montini) were of the very top of his list but turned it down. Montini and Tardini had declined the cardinalate.[3]

What I left out in this saga are the numerous holy and unholy rumors, all of them unsubstantiated. Cheers--Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

What puzzled me in this context is Richard Cushing, a Pius fan from Boston, a traditional red hat seat. Appointed in 1944, he was overlooked in both consistories (1946, 1953), but why? A "reliable source" Father Andrew Greeley says that "It is alleged that Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston came out of the conclave with the precise totals of each ballot written on his shirt cuff.[4] This is, however, most unlikely, since Cushing was not a Cardinal at the time of the 1958 conclave. He was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope John XXIII on December 15, 1958, that is a few weeks after the conclave. So much for reliable sources. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

WEll yes, he could have been there as an ... assistant to a Cardinal, or as an official of the conclave. He was however, Archishop of Boston and arguably not in Rome at this time. Nevethelsess the Cushing conclave voting data continue to be propagated by Father Andrew Greeley.

[edit] More pics

As I returned after a few days, a pleasant surprise of yet another nice pic from another contributor , P12 in white, to which I added toda an original P 12 in red. We have now a choice of thee very nice lead pics,(the painting, P12 in white and P12 in red) I like all three and propose that you make the decicion. The chap who added P12 in white created also a template, which preempts what I am working an, but can easily be harmonized. Cheers--Ambrosius007 (talk) 13:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the compliments, I think you are right, placing the template at the end, could you please open it, and, if you can, delete the link to the PPXII page under categories? I tried. On the encyclicals I can see your point but like to disagree. There are 12 more in the making, and I think cutting them up into subjects such as peace, mariology makes more sense and gives them better recognition. But I am thinking with you on that. The template shows an impressive quantitativ array of articles, but I am fully aware, that some of them need more work. You help me a lot, if you tell me, which ones need more work than others. I worked very fast and I know, that not all have the same level of quality but would appreciate your view. In the making are Church policies before the war and Church policies durrin the war, on the latter I will be careful and take much time. Missing are articles on the social teachings, medicine, law, science etc. Thanks and Cheers--Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I think we think along similar lines, but in my view "Mariology of Pope Pius" is partly related and quoted encyclicals, therefore it makes sense to keep them together and avoid duplication (of mariology). On the other hand, I had the persecution encyclicals together with "persecution" articles, and it turned out a too large group, so I subdivided. I am flexible and open to everything and benefit from your input, thanks --Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
