Several sentences with subjective commentary about this production were removed. Such material violates Wikipedia's policy about so-called "original research." That policy states "Wikipedia does not publish original thought." Short quotes from published reviews of productions are perfectly acceptable on Wikipedia; however, the removed material was unsourced. Siberian Husky (talk) 05:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! This entry has been coming along very nicely. Wikipedia rocks! Although, with all due respect, it does seem rather disingenuous just to remove material that well-intentioned enthusiastic reporters failed to realize needed to be more obviously sourced (to meet Wikipedia's often under-appreciated stringent standards) - rather than doing a little bit of snooping about. I have highlighted the issue of historical accuracy, and shuttled readers to Wikipedia's entry on the alleged murder victim in question. I didn't find a "source" for that bit about the Brunelleschi character's dubbing job being particularly laughable (my words), but I'd love to see that restored -- if someone can find a source for that, it seems worth mentioning. I have also come across statements that Mannerist paintings, from 100 years in the future of the portrayed period, were used to decorate the set. More details on that would also be Wikipedia Gold.

Hey! The title says it all. I think the page should be simply titled 'Medici'. The different titles refer to seasons. Imdb and Netflix both refer to it simply as Medici. What do you think?

Yep. Per imdb, the correct title is Medici (TV Series 2016 - ) Fb2ts (talk) 23:34, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The show veers quite far from the actual history of the Medici, starting with a fabricated assassination of Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici in the first episode. I feel like it would be useful to have a section devoted to comparing the dramatization to the documented history. This seems to be true of a lot of Netflix produced historical series, which, unfortunately, become many people's source of information, as watching movies and series have frequently replaced reading books.

Girolamo Riario is frequently shown in the subtitles when they need to clarify which character is speaking as [Cardinal Riario]. The Riario Cardinal was Raffaele, so it's a shame whoever created the subtitles got this information wrong. Nothing else on the show indicates him being a Cardinal, just that he is a nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, along with Raffaele.

It would be nice to point this out somehow in the article, but I'm not sure where this would be most helpful. Deliusfan (talk) 21:27, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
