GA from 2007. Significant unsourced material including entire unsourced sections throughout the article. I had placed comments before hand back in February stating that this would need to be fixed or i'd nominate it to be delisted and the issues still remain. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:01, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree: there are just too many unreferenced paragraphs. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeesh. Yes. It's in a pretty bad state. Getting this back to GA will be a real project. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:00, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - lots of effort needed to get this to GA standard. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

crazy postmodernism: "View of Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance"

Hi,

Anybody who's interested in the topic "renaissance", will be startled to see a HDR image among the few illustrations in the article.

What is wrong with that?

Just that is is no illustration. It doesn't illustrate anything. But instead of the period's classic images someone was able to push his / her (his) photo and place a checkmark in his weekly to do list, like, "insert a pic in the wikipedia article ✔"

The physical location does matter, but we refer to is as Italy.

The view that today's tourists can capture really don't belong in this article...

Please think about this...

(I've gotto go now)

Correct. The template already has an appropriate image representative of Renaissance. And image of modern Florence is already at a proper place down the article. --Altenmann >talk 18:33, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
