Birthday?

On what exact day was Caterina born? jeanne (talk) 07:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Grammar needs to be improved

I've done some work on the article but the sentence structure and grammar still needs much work to bring the article up to Wikipedia standards.--jeanne (talk) 08:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Still very true six years later!- Xenxax (talk) 23:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Descent from Caterina to William

Princess Diana was many times descended from Charles II, not only through the son by his mistress, Louise de Kerouaille, but also through the Duke of Grafton, Charles' illegitimate child by Barbara Villiers, Lady Castlemaine. Diana was also a descendant of King James II, therefore, Primce William is descended many times over from Caterina Sforza.--jeanne (talk) 07:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Editing: Grammar and run-ons

I edited a number of run-ons and grammatical errors, as well as some errors of punctuation. As usual, I used Wiki and MFaS guidelines for all edits.

There is still a great deal of work to be done, however.

Eccentricities

Why is "'experiments'" placed in quotes in reference to Sforza's alchemical work? If the notion is that alchemy is discredited today, that still does not mean an experiment is not an experiment. Also, why is there a personal dedication on this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.229.114 (talk) 19:00, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I think the personal dedication should be deleted.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

The quotes have been removed as well as the personal dedication on this page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:29, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

There is a second use of quotes that I have removed. If someone sees a reason for the quotes, use an adjective or better description instead. Smoore 500 (talk) 15:41, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Three Graces

Caterina cannot possibly be the figure on the right. It looks nothing like any other portrait said to be Caterina. On the other hand, it has the strong profile and very protruding forehead of several pain tings that are said to be Simonetta Vespucci. It cannot b both. If Caterina had red hair, then that isn't her. Amandajm (talk) 08:12, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Too much detail in intro section

Theory of "masculine role" seems opinionated. The stuff about medals is marginal for the article as a whole, let alone where it is positioned.
