Leonardo da Vinci[edit]

Comprehensive article covering an interesting subject written by a range of editors. Looking to nominate for FAC and am just looking for further opinions on it... Anything that seems particularly missing? - Estel (talk) 05:49, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

I think the article could use a biography infobox next to the lead section. 131.211.210.13 11:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
To start with, this is a Former Featured Article. See why it was removed in the first place and adress those objections. And one more: lead is too short. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:12, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There are only ~~three~~ two lists remaining, which are relatively important information. But they are not 'most' of the article. The majority of the article consists of good prose information. I just took one more of the lists out. - Estel (talk) 16:42, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  - In fiction list read like trivia and needs to be converted into paragraph. List of paintings is useful, but I'd rather move it to the bottom of the article and perhaos even expanded with a list of his other famous works. And the lead is still inadequate. And the article can use expantion, as ChrisG suggests. It looks rather brief, compared to many other FAs. If it gets too long, split into subarticles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:26, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Feels too short for someone of his stature. Probably needs more on his works - art, science, engineering. Also something with regard to his status and influence.:ChrisG 18:04, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I would have to agree with Chris. The influence particularly is missing. But it seems like there is a lot else that should be said about him that is not. I guess you would need to do some good research to find out what else about him is important and needs to be covered. - Taxman 17:38, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
