 * In theory, yes. But a few of them were removed from office early; I believe all of those are indicated on the list. Kirill Lok s  h in 04:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Filling out of the page
I will be undertaking a de-redification of these wikilinks on this page. I will also be taking the current articles and bringing them up to either the quality of the IT Wiki or much, much higher, as I'm currently doing with Domenico Selvo. If anyone would like to cooperate with me on any of these topics or can supply me with any useful references, please leave a message on my talk page. JHMM13 (T | C)  00:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Numbering the doges
I think it would be better to remove the "Seventh Century" etc. sub-headings so that the doges can be listed numerically, like they were in the early versions of this article. The sub-headings aren't really necessary and you can see which century they were in becuase their terms of office are already included. I'll wait a few days before doing it in case anyone objects.

 * Personally I like the current structure: it's less heavy than a list with tens of names and it gives a nice and immediate view of the ark of time in which the Republic existed. GhePeU 09:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

possible inaccuracy?
Britannica 1911 says that Luigi Mocenigo was doge from 1570-77 (under the entry Mocenigo (family)). This list and the it.wikipedia list think it was Alvise I Mocenigo. Google is conflicted. Are these two names for the same person, or is one wrong? Calliopejen1 13:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it may have been a mistake in 1911... The most current Britannica says Alvise I, so I'll go with that. Calliopejen1 14:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks.  JHMM13 (Disc) 22:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Crowned republic
The article: The Venetian combination of elaborate monarchic pomp and a republican (though "aristocratic") constitution with intricate checks and balances makes "La serenissima" (Venice) a textbook example of a crowned republic.

But the article crowned republic does not support this at all - that article describes a "crowned republic" as a modern style constitutional monarchy like the UK, where there's a monarch who has no real political power. "Crowned republics," quite notably, generally formally describe themselves as kingdoms, and not as republic. Venice might qualify as a "crowned republic," but it certainly doesn't fit very well with the definition of one we've provided in that article. john k (talk) 03:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Errors introduced in list
I came across a name in the doge list repeated three times, so I corrected them, using the preceding doges links. Then I noticed another such repetition & corrected it. I checked the edits and found the errors were introduced by User:CPA-5 here 22:55, 25 July 2022‎. CPA-5 introduced a lot of material that transformed the page generally for the better, but introduced several errors. It might be useful for someone to check not only my edits but also those of CPA-5. Tx.

ETA: Doge 18 & 19 are the same person repeated. Numbering error: no doge #37 - #36 & #38 are consecutive in years. The whole list apparently needs a close eye.  spin |control 21:21, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
