Wanted to add to family tree

I noted that Henrietta_Maria_of_France which exists on wikipedia is the daughter of Marie de' Medici (1573 – 1642), wife of Henry IV of France, so I wanted to add that into the family tree, so immediately exposing the fact the the Medici penetrated English Royal Family.

Requested move of several article titles

Hello. I have undertaken a requested move proposal for the article titles of some of the members of the Medici family. I have focused on ten of them (most of which use dates as disambiguation), proposing more conventional naming disambigation that avoids dates. The RM and discussion is to proceed at Talk: Lorenzo de' Medici (1463–1503)#Requested move. Editors interested in the Medici should visit that discussion and voice their opinion on the proposed changes. Thank you. Walrasiad (talk) 11:25, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion reference to persection of jews

Evidence of persecution is highly speculative and is not relevant to the subject matter.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.11.51 (talk • contribs)

I fail to see how this is "not relevant to the subject matter". Can you explain? Also, can you provide a source to support your claim that "evidence of persecution is highly speculative"? The given reference, Acton's book The Last Medici is pretty clear: "[Cosimo]'s theological humour found another vent in persecuting the Jews." (p. 140) GabrielF (talk) 16:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are many pages relating to Jewish persecution on wikipedia, none referencing the issue nor history considering it a persecution of jews,researching the Medici should not provide route to the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.11.51 (talk) 15:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing The Jews

I do not like references to Jews in this page. I think it detracts from the subject matter and belongs in a seperate article relating to neurosis of the Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.11.51 (talk) 18:14, 11 May 2013 (UTC) What "neurosis of the Jews." There was plenty of persecution going on of themEricl (talk) 02:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cosimo III passage

A passage at the beginning of the "18th century: the fall of the dynasty" section discusses Cosimo III (1642–1723). But it cites an EB entry on a different Cosimo (1389–1464). The passage is also lifted directly from EB, violating COPYVIO, so it cannot simply be moved up to another section. The section should be fleshed out with information on the correct Cosimo, but for now I am removing the passage. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 01:18, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First mention of name

The History section here says first recorded mention of the Medici is in 1230 (citation needed), but the page for Giambuono de' Medici says "Chiarissimo di Giambuono de' Medici, who served in the Signoria in 1201". The ambiguity should be cleared up, but I don't have the sources for either. Quarrel (talk) 06:38, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
