- Comment. You don't appear to have edited the article at all. Are you sure it's ready for FA status; have you asked the article's major authors? CloudNine 20:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose The article is difficult to at times - it needs a thorough copyedit. The lead needs to be totally revised, particularly the first paragraph (see WP:LEAD. The article needs to be based on reliable sources, that is, scholarly sources - there is a lot of material written on Michelangelo by art historians - use it! (see WP:RS and WP:ATT).
