Johnbod Hello. I've been doing some work on the Zecca. I still need to write more about the entry and add some images. Let me know if there are other aspects that should be covered. The section at the bottom, Venetian Coinage, was copied by an earlier contributor from the Italian page and translated. It's partial and incomplete. It could be expanded, but I'm not sure if it's really appropriate on the Zecca page since there is already a page for the Coinage of the Republic of Venice.Venicescapes (talk) 12:40, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Looks good to me, though I'd break some paras (of the top bit, and merge lots in the coinage bit, if kept). The lead could use another para summarizing the architecture, & lots of links are needed. I'd merge the coinage stuff to Coinage of the Republic of Venice, which looks a right mess frankly (look at the 2nd sentence of the much-too-short lead) and is a good deal shorter. It also doesn't link here! Just do a summary section on all that here, & vice versa there. I've rated this B. No images of the 2-story period? Johnbod (talk) 23:23, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Johnbod Hello. I added links and expanded the notes. I opted to delete the coin section which was woefully incomplete and didn't really seem to belong anyway. There is however a link to the coinage page. I still need to add images. On the bottom of the page there are links to "1545 establishments in the Republic of Venice" and "Infrastructure completed in 1545". The date should be 1548. Are there any other pages you would like me to look at?Venicescapes (talk) 15:37, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
