Talk:Dominium mundi

Disclaimer;

This is my first ever Wiki post, apologies for any inaccuracies or procedural errors.

As far as I can see, and I'm NOT an expert in the field, the material seems factually accurate.

However, the English used in some sections seems quite poor.

The section titled "The diet of Besançon and the first differences" seems to need a re-write, as it contains some run on sentences and the like.

Also the opening section could use a better introduction, perhaps a very brief description of historical context, European powers and united modern states of the period, (If any) and an introduction into "The Imperial Idea".

All in all though, as far as I can tell, it is factually accurate.

Article problems
The article looks to be a rough translation of the Spanish Wikipedia article at es:Dominium mundi—a very old one, so the Spanish piece has changed since then. However there is a more general problem with the scope of the article, since it wrongly implies that the dominium mundi concept disappeared at the turn of the 13th century. In fact it was going strong into the 14th, as the article I recently wrote at Hierocracy (medieval) explains, and a recent book by Monateri (titled, fittingly, Dominus Mundi) traces it into the 16th with the supporters of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. There's some other relevant info at another article I expanded, Res publica Christiana. Of course another issue is that the article is totally lacking any in-line citations. Beyond that, a lot of the article has only tenuous relevance to the subject and I think the timeline and "involved personages" should probably be removed entirely (the latter is just a list of the emperors and popes at an arbitrary period). As it stands I'd be inclined to just burn the article and start over. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 21:22, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
