del Rastrello

The claim that this pope's name includes "del Rastrello" seems rather dubious. See discussion at Talk:Prophecy of the Popes#Innocent XII. I've removed it until a highly reliable source can be provided to confirm it.

Note that the source currently cited appears to be a self-published website, but it lists the name as simply "PIGNATELLI, Antonio", and as an aside states without evidence that "His last name is also listed as Pignatelli del Rastrello."--Trystan (talk) 02:15, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trystan! I think the "extra" bit in question comes from sources like this one (Catholic Hierarchy is used for a large number of popes and cardinals from the same era) which includes del Rastrello. Likewise, books like this one and this one use the full name including the "extra bit". As far as I can tell, "del rastrello" simply means "the rake" (in Italian), which could be a nickname, a physical description or something to do with his want to clean up after the nepotism of previous popes (like, "the broom" or something). Or it could be something entirely different. It's all basically WP:OR without a proper ref. As for including the extra bit or not, I don't see anything wrong with your removing it.

And the full citation for that source should probably be something like, The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church: Pignatelli by Salvador Miranda (Florida International University, last updated: February 2013). Stalwart111 04:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Austria-Hungary?

In article writes, that he was Apostolic Nuncio to Austria-Hungary (1668–1671). In this time not existed Austria-Hungary. It became only in 1867 (to 1918). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stebunik (talk • contribs) 17:17, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

China, Matteo Ricci, Michele Ruggieri, Leibniz, etc.

No mention of his support for the cultural exchange, etc., before the Chinese Rites Controversy? Ubikwit^連絡_{見学/迷惑} 07:00, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
