Italian Renaissance
This page is partially the work of the week Renaissance was the COTW. I have recently been working on the history sections and Antandrus just did some great work on the music section. I now feel this page is quite good coverage of an important subject and I am wondering what is needed to get it up to featured status. This is a massive topic and the page is up to 35kb while many section are somewhat lacking in detail, especially in the culture section. There are, however, quite a few sub-articles that give more in-depth coverage of these areas. It would be great if someone who knows their art history could look through the later half and search for any glaring omissions. - SimonP 00:45, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Right now, I can say I'd like some external links and a picture in the lead (even if it's just one moved up). Still reading through it, but I was expecting a citicisms section. The first sentence says it was a period of great change, but I'm sure I've heard Zinn-ite historians saying something like the peasant experienced no real change at all. Perhaps this could just be in some kind of subsection about the overall effects on society. Just thoughts, and I'll read it now. --Dmcdevit 01:45, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The main Renaissance page has a fairly extensive historiography section, much of which is devoted to criticisms. I shall try to add a summary on this page. Links are also good idea, but I'm not sure about a picture in the lead. Templates and images tend not to mix. - SimonP 02:14, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * How about an image in the template like Crusade? History of Spain is set up to take differnt images on different pages which is neat--nixie 04:13, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That is a good idea. I have added a small image to the template. - SimonP 12:04, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
