Sixteenth Century Germany was characterized by social, religious and political upheaval. Artists found patrons who shared their sensibilities which often meant leaving Germany to find them. The majority was Protestant rather than Catholic and commissioned art work to fulfill new and unique needs.

Am I the only one that noticed that this says Adolf Hitler lived in the 15th century? Was that a typo? Is there another Adolf Hitler? or is this person just making stuff up?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.51.134.251 (talk) 03:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Heyy..Just so people know, I am editing this page as a History project for my History 101 class at George Mason University. So I would appreciate the chance do expand this article without any interference. I am not doing this for fun or disruptiveness, again it is for a class. Thanks Courtney =) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.174.180.3 (talk) 20:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you and/or your school mates have been editing this article significantly. It would be appreciated by everyone who comes to read this article if you guys could familiarize yourselves with some of the basics of editing Wikipedia articles; in particular, putting double square brackets to either side of what you want to create an internal link to. For example, simply putting "[[Renaissance]]" into your contributed text will result in "Renaissance", as is the standard practice in Wikipedia. You might also want to take a look at Help:Editing and Help:Wikitext examples for some more info. Thanks and good luck. Knyght27 (talk) 08:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, whilst this article is seriously sub-optimal, if you are going to turn it into a pet project please use the sand box, you shouldn't change the main page substantially without asking for a peer review. Especially if you don't want people to change the main page after you have made any significant edits to it. 213.38.11.86 (talk) 14:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Phooey - they've moved on now, having improved the page considerably, which was not hard. It is still pretty terrible though. But "if you don't want people to change the main page after you have made any significant edits to it", you shouldn't be editing here at all. Who is going to do a peer review on a near-stub like this used to be? Johnbod (talk) 16:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
