Leonardo
I've just removed the edit that you made to Leonardo. You really must read the paragraph very carefully, (and probably the whole article) before you make a change to the wording.

That whole paragraph is about Leonardo's fame as an artist. It says that "it was primarily as an artist that he was and is renowned." "Primarily" means firstly. He became one of Europe's most famous painters while he was alive. Most of his scientific studies were neglected in his lifetime, and have never had a very big effect in any area except the study of light and anatomy by artists, specifically.

Leonardo is now famous as a scientist, and when kids learn about him at school they often study his plans for machines rather than his paintings, which gives a false impression of how important his paintings were considered in his own lifetime right up until today. His scientific studies are dealt with in a separate article Leonardo da Vinci - scientist and inventor. Amandajm (talk) 13:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
