[edit] old comment

David -- what's with the German ruler? The Saxon house were all Germans, kinda sorta -- and I think it could imply a Germany where there wasn't one...JHK

[edit] Deleted ==Notes==

6/22/08: Deleted the ==Notes== section for the following reasons:

1. It wasn't a footnote. Neither was it the

it was formatted as. It was, at best, an external link.

2. It linked to a page in Italian with no translation available: that's not appropriate for an English language wiki.

3. The linked page appears to be part of a brief overview of Italian history, generally sourced from 8 other histories of Italy. The content page cite had no paragraph or sentence numbers, nor does the external page cite any specific references, making the material unverifiable.

4. My Latin is a bit rusty, but I'm pretty sure "Anni dal 983 al 1002" translates pretty close to "Years from 983 to 1002"; and "Il Periodo di Ottone III" is something like "The Life of Otto III". Since the topic of the wiki article is "Otto II", who died in 983, I believe the Italian article is concerned with his son and (aside from it's other problems) would be more appropriate in Otto III's wikipage.
