Talk:Sicilian Baroque

Numbering of Images
This is a long page and it benefits from having the images formatted and easily referred to as each image has been chosen to illustrate specific points, as the page is long it is impossible to place all images close to the relevant text, hence annotating them allows them to be easily and clearly referred to. Please do not revert or alter the numbering, as the whole page can become confused if this happens. Thankyou Giano 14:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

capitalization?
I was rather surprised to see "Baroque" capitalize throughout. And still more surprised to note the inconsistencies, e.g. in this sentence: "Other Baroque characteristics, such as broken pediments over windows, the extravagant use of statuary, and curved topped windows and doors are all emblematic of baroque architecture, but can all be found on Baroque building all over Europe." Is there any good reason for this? --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Baroque should be capitalised, that was the concencus of a long discussion while this page was being written (the links are somewhere) the onconsistency is a typo. I forget the reasons given for it being capitalised, English grammar is a complete mystery of incosistentvcy to me Giano (talk) 12:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, for now I've at least made it consistent. It would be good to see the links to the earlier discussion--as you can see, there's nothing on this page.  And it does seem rather odd.  --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

WIT Press book
This is most likely not a reliable source, given it's publication by WIT Press a known predatory publisher. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:34, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Containing the proceedings of the 14th Conference on Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture (STREMAH 2015), this book provides the necessary scientific knowledge required to formulate regulatory policies and to ensure effective ways of preserving the architectural heritage.


 * First held in 1989, the STREMAH conference attracts an extensive range of quality contributions from scientists, architects, engineers and restoration experts from all over the world dealing with various aspects of heritage buildings. The conference proceedings cover a wide range of topics related to the historical aspects and the reuse of heritage buildings."

It's fine (having introduced it). Academics often have to resort to all sorts of publishers. Johnbod (talk) 12:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Sicilian renaissance
What now looks like a fascinating article, it:Rinascimento siciliano, was started in 2011 by (still an active contributor). I can't judge it, because I can't read Italian. What now looks like a fascinating article (translation), fr:Renaissance sicilienne, was started in 2020 by (also still an active contributor). I can hardly judge it, as the level of my French is appallingly low. What's now a sadly truncated article, Sicilian Renaissance, was started in 2021 by (who seems to have retired).

I don't think that anyone has disputed that the Sicilian Renaissance was/is very notable and merits a long and fascinating article. But much of the article was unsourced, and therefore the whole thing was demoted to draft -- but later it was promoted to article, whereupon it had long-unreferenced chunks removed: a troubled history indeed.

What the article needs is editors with a solid background in these matters, who are proficient at reading Italian (the language of most of the sources provided so far), and who might even have access to the relevant codices. And where better to look for them than the talk page of this article, precociously started by in 2005? -- Hoary (talk) 00:07, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * - Were they still around, Giano would indeed be your go-to, on both counts. But I don’t think they are. KJP1 (talk) 07:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * KJP1, Giano was editing as recently as last week, I'm happy to see. -- Hoary (talk) 07:44, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
