unprecise statements about history
1) Quote «1666, Malpighi was invited by the Italian Senate to return to the public academy at Messina». At that time there was no state of Italy. So what was the Italian Senate? Exactly. There was no senate neither. Therefore I have eliminated «by the Italian Senate ».--Werfur (talk) 20:16, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

2) Quote «in 1691, Malpighi was ...... summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent XII» Why, what for, with which consequences? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Werfur (talk • contribs) 17:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Citation page number
Malpighi observed that when a ring-like portion of bark was removed on a trunk a swelling occurred in the tissues above the ring, and he correctly interpreted this as growth stimulated by food coming down from the leaves, and being blocked above the ring.

Problem is, this book does not have 456 pages of text, it has a total number of 456 pages, according to Google Books. In any case there is no mention of plants on a page 456. Probably somewhere else in the book the statement is made, but that is difficult to find out. How do we deal with this? Skopien (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
