  • 21:5221:52, 21 April 2023 diff hist +319 Giordano BrunoIt is not just that there were earlier scholars who proposed a Multiple Worlds theory and that Nicholas of Cusa was one of them. Bruno directly attributed his understanding of this concept to Cusa, who he drew on and admired.
  • 21:3721:37, 21 April 2023 diff hist −19 m Giordano BrunoAs noted in the talk section, there is no evidence that Bruno was a "mathematician". He wrote no works on mathematics and criticised Copernicus for limiting himself by using mathematics as the basis of his astronomy rather than the kind of mystical insight Bruno favoured. It makes no sense to call him a "mathematician".

  • 03:3403:34, 5 October 2018 diff hist −523 Pope Gregory IXThe paragraph about Gregory being "known to have declared the demonization of cats ... specifically the black-colored ones and advocated its (sic) mass killings" is repeating a common myth. Gregory made no such "declaration" and no "mass killings" of cats resulted from anything he said. The claim was "substantiated" by a link to a dubious website that gave no evidence at all.
