 * Those pictures would probably be best uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons so all Wikipedias (and other Wikimedia projects) can use them. I'm not confident with image placement as I can't see what I'm doing. Which images would look best in the article? The article may need more than one because of its length.

Wording
Nice work on the article. However, I find this wording unclear: "The jealousies caused by this protection helped his eventually accepting a position outside his native province." I copyedited that earlier for grammar - I hope I didn't make it even worse in the process. :) The issue I have is with the word "helped" - it's ambiguous. Did the jealousies make his work difficult - like putting a strain on the relationships with the people he was working with? Or did the people who were jealous of his protection actively try to get him out of Cento? In short, did he want to go to Padua? If the jealousies about his relationship with Alfonso II caused him to leave Cento, then "forced" or "compelled" would probably be a better word than "helped". If it's one of the other cases, then more information should probably be given. Or if I'm just babbling about nothing, tell me - I don't know much about the history of philosophy.

Aristotle proved ...
"... alleging that Aristotle had definitely proved that the Moon could only be a perfect sphere."

I'm interested in the arguments Aristotle used. Obviously this isn't the article to put them in, but could a link be included? -- 17:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

accessibility for those who do not speak Latin
The Extended bibliography contains a list of books with titles and descriptions in Latin. Whilst this is informative, those who do not understand Latin are unable to gain information from the list of titles and descriptions. Providing an English translation of both the title and the description would allow for a wider understanding of Cremonini's thinking. As the basis for a character opposed to Galileo's heliocentrist viewpoints, it is useful to make Cremonini's thinking more accessible. As a general principle, it seems useful to remove unnecessary linguistic barriers in Wikipedia. 81.59.93.101 (talk) 08:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
