Talk:Lorenzo Giovanni

Look, I appreciate your moving the segment I added to it's proper place in the "behind the scenes" segment of the article, and the metalink to wikipedia, but without the line about Giovanni's corruption there is no context as to why he is a low life. It basically looks like he's named for two stand-up and well accomplished men. I am a Catholic, John Paul II even issued an apology for some of Leo X's actions. There is no controversy in the subject matter. It is an understood and accepted fact. And it is necessary for framing the logical complex of why he is a lender yes, but corrupt as well. I hope you will prove amenable to reason.

 * It's not for fear of controversy. We just try to keep Behind the scenes sections blessedly brief. If you can say it with a link, do it that way. Going on about the historical context just leads to ballooning of the section.--Gothemasticator 02:42, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

It's kind of hard to say it in a link that would be more concise than the way I put it. A lengthy Wikipedia or collegiate entry will lose a lot of people's interest due to it's sheer length and how am I to provide it without any text for context? If the length of the section offends your eye, perhaps you could edit it yourself for the right mix between the information I wanted to contribute and the brevity you seek into a format that meets me halfway? That would be appreciated. Or maybe I'd just feel it was horribly butchered. Basically from my position I'm being told one more sentence is too offensive to the eye. Eh. Do what you can.
