[edit] Copy?

At least a significant part of the text on this page is identical to the text on this page:

http://www.topofart.com/artists/Alessandro_Filippepi_Botticelli/art_reproduction/158/The_Birth_of_Venus.php

should this be fixed on one or the other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.29.153.44 (talk) 07:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Correct Word?

Is the correct word "anadyome" or "anadyomene" to describe "rising from the sea"? I think it's the latter, and so have corrected the article accordingly.--Chuckhoffmann 02:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

i don't know but I guess also the latter.213.119.207.54 12:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)stefaan

[edit] Italian Name?

Should the original Italian name (La nascita di Venere) be added as a subtitle to the English one (The Birth of Venus)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.25.142.66 (talk) 17:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Monty Python info

I added the line about the movie sketch; it seemed silly to mention the movie info when it was the same as the TV info.

Or should it have been in the movie section?

[edit] Simonetta's place of residence

The article claims that "she lived in Portovenere". Is that so? If I remember correctly, she was anecdotally linked to the place. She might have been born there - but she lived in and around Florence.
