The crayon portrait of Galileo is wrongly attributed to Leone Leoni . It should be correctly attributed to Ottavio Leoni.

Possible new article

The Czech Martin Horky played a part in Galileo's work in 1610. There is an article on Martin Horky in the Italian wikipedia. A Google search should provide more information on Horky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.7.192.143 (talk) 13:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Horky — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.7.197.65 (talk) 15:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Horky is also said at times to have been German. He might have spoken both in some degree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.7.197.65 (talk) 12:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Brevissima Peregrinatio Contra Nuncium Sidereum, by Horky. Horky even suggested that Galileo was actuated by a love of money. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.7.197.65 (talk) 12:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Horky's father is variously said to have been German and Bohemian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.7.192.143 (talk) 17:14, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 5 December 2012: "Jupiter" section: flow issues

The third-to-last sentence of the first paragraph of the "Jupiter" section should almost certainly be placed after the last sentence of that paragraph so that the paragraph may follow a more logical progression of ideas. I request an edit for this to be so.

Done - agree the chronology wasn't right. Have edited the paragraph in question as suggested. Stalwart111 04:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 22 December 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The article purports to cite "the Bible", but instead cites the King James translation of it. I propose amending the following text: "Biblical references Psalm 93:1, 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 include text stating that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved."

It should read as follow: "According to the King James translation, Biblical references Psalm 93:1, 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16...." or the like

213.151.59.59 (talk) 19:35, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. I could see issues on whether or not the King James translation can be cited as a biblical reference and whether this is actually neccesary. Vacation^nine 05:44, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inexplicable

Unimaginable666 is reverting his own edits, inexplicably. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.4.216 (talk) 11:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean. He added a category and then seems to have thought better of it, I think because it was redundant to some of the existing ones. Stalwart111 12:00, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
