::::I'm not sure whether or not that was intended as an insult but if it was it is completely unnecessary. Whether or not this was written by a historian is irrelevant, poor encyclopedic writing is poor writing. All it does is reflect the personal, and unsubstantiated, opinions of one person on a very broad subject. Even if it were cited, the style of this featured article is poor. Not being cited, I ask again for permission to amend the article in order that it remain as strictly factual as possible.

:::::Why were my edits removed? I corrected everything from the intro, including grammar and removing useless statements like "A politician and writer based in Florence of The Renaissance." I also removed "Was he a Machiavellian?" and shifted it into a "Why he wrote his books" piece so that interpretations of his work could have their own section.
