[edit] Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nominee for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of September 10, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Excellent tone and wording; the article flows well.

2. Factually accurate?: Accurate scholarly sources used.

3. Broad in coverage?: Considers many aspects of the tomb's significance; might be nice if more of this was reflected in the lead.

4. Neutral point of view?: Neutral in tone through-out.

5. Article stability? All edits appear to be article improvements.

6. Images?: Images help highlight the article and all are free for use.

[edit] Translation needed

The article it:Marzocco (simbolo) needs to be translated. it:Marzocco (Donatello) would be nice too. Srnec (talk) 04:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Not the right place to request it but I agree. Savidan 04:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

"Florence Cathedral" exudes such a distinct air of awkward unfamiliarity with the context of the subject, it discourages the literate reader from pursuing farther. --Wetman (talk) 04:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree completely, but as far as this article is concerned I think its appropriate to stick with the title of that article. You should propose a move of that article rather than the links to it. Savidan 05:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Why should the featured article be forced to wait for second-rate articles to catch up? Don't we have piped links just for this? "(Il) Duomo" is not so good as an article title because every Italian city has its duomo, but "for the baptistry adjacent to the Duomo in Florence" looks fine to me. Srnec (talk) 05:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Do as you wish; just make sure it's consistent throughout. Savidan 05:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Look good? Srnec (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

This was discussed extensivly at the other article before the title was changed - see talk there. The fact of the matter is, by no means everyone knows what the or a Duomo is, and to insist on using it is merely being precious. No one seems so concerned about German cathedrals being Doms! I am not so bothered about subsequent mentions. Johnbod (talk) 02:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd just like to see a solid rationale for how this should be done before its changed one way or the other. I have no preference. Savidan 02:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

If he's the anti pope, does that mean he worships the anti christ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.89.236 (talk) 08:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

No. See antipope - "An antipope is a person who makes a widely accepted claim to be the lawful pope, in opposition to the pope recognized by the Roman Catholic Church". KTC (talk) 09:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
