Expansion
This article cries out for expansion. The Discourses are a much longer and more complex work than The Prince. In fact I would go so far to say one has not truly read Machiavelli until one has read The Discourses. --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 09:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- By all means, do. --RJC Talk 14:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hear, hear! If I have some time sometime, I'll try to give this at least a cursory expansion. The Discourses is complex and full of subtle ironies, and this Wikipedia article as it stands is a pitiful treatment. --jacobolus (t) 07:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Article Name
Shouldn't this be at Discourses on Livy, that is by far its most common name in English. - SimonP 15:23, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I think that at some point there was a push to have titles in their original language, but that seems to have fallen out of favor. The title of the article on The Prince, for example, is in English. --RJC Talk 18:14, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- The standard Wikipedia practice is to use the name most commonlly used by English speakers. I have thus moved this article to Discourses on Livy. - SimonP 02:01, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
