Cardinal electors for the papal conclave, March 1605

 * Nominator(s): TonyBallioni (talk) 03:50, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I've been working through the 17th century conclaves bringing them up to GA status, and have most of them done, so I've turned to working on the list of electors for them, and this is my first attempt at that. The March 1605 papal conclave was the first of two conclaves in 1605, which was the last Year of Three Popes popes before 1978: Clement VIII had recently died, and left a nearly full college. This list of electors includes several names that are very significant in the history of the Counter-Reformation, and was by far one of the most enjoyable conclaves to research and write about. I'm nominating this as a featured list because it is complete and I feel it either meets the criteria or is very close to doing so. I hope you all enjoy it.

 * Add trans-title for titles in foreign languages; indicate the language of the source material.
 * Done. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Eubel, Konrad (1913a) does not have authors listed even though Worldcat does; I did not check all of them.\
 * Fixed: I also went through and updated the two sources that had previously been attributed to Eubel: archive.org had used the wrong bigliographic information on the second. This is easy to do because all the works are typically referred to as "Eubel", because he was the first author. I've double verified it against Worldcat, Google Books, and the publication information in the scans on archive.org. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ref number order " Leo XI.[8][1]"
 * Fixed. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you know who took the photograph of the painting? Is there any way we can know if it is copyrighted or are we going to have to AGF on it?
 * The official stance of the WMF is that photographic reproductions of public domain two-dimensional art are public domain. I checked to see if Getty had a version of this available for license to see if they listed an original creator and they don’t: but they agree it is 17th century. Under our copyright policy we consider it public domain, and the license tag reflects this, so we should be good. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Rephrase Pope Sixtus V had mandated that the maximum number of cardinals would be seventy in 1586. to In 1586, Pope Sixtus V mandated that the maximum number of cardinals would be seventy., unless I misunderstand what the sentence is conveying
 * Done. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Change having created to creating, and all those hads seem unnecessary
 * Tried this and ended up not doing either. I think the pluperfect is correct here as it is referring to specific events in the past that were complete before the event we are discussing. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Your alt text on the image could be improved
 * I added a bit here. I’m never good at these, so if it needs more, let me know. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)


 * , made these changes. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * see responses. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed, and an interesting list for me too. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:25, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
