One of the problems here is that the "big picture" is highly complex. If we were dealing with Michelangelo, the list would be short and simple. If we were dealing with Raphael, the list would be much longer but also fairly simple. In the case of Leonardo, the indentity and attribution of his works is
687:
In the list of paintings by attribution, based on Ottino's research, I count 6 or 7 different "grades" of authenticity. Obviously this navbox can't reflect the complexity of the big picture. Sooo, I've marked every painting between "grade" 3 ("Accepted attrbution") and 5/6 ("Disputed") as simply

is the problem. The template is not simply a set of links. It is also a stand-alone source of information which purports to give a list of Leonardo's works. That list of itself must not be misleading. If any student wants a list of Leonardo's works, they will take then straight off your

You claim Leonardo invented "The Robot"! What he built was an Automatum of a type that was not original. Impressive perhaps, but he didn't invent it. remove it from the list. I can't remember what the other thing is, but to say he invented the robot is far fetched, and inaccurate.

What you have created here is something less than useless. It's less than useless because it tries to put into a few boxes things which are very complex, and therefore gives a very false impression! I have already said something very similar.

Per Amanda's suggestion, I've introduced an "Early works-Mature works-Recent attributions" structure to the Paintings section, replacing that awful mess that was there was before. My main aim was to give a sense of chronolgy which the

528:, obviously for the same reason as I deleted the single word "Robot" under the heading of "Inventions". Regardless of how accurate the info in the wiki-page might be, the info in the template itself was patent nonsense. 501:
I am confused. All of those articles that you removed were articles that talked about Leonardo's possible input into those works. And the robot link actually linked to Leonardo's robot not robots in general.
560:
There is, as I have pointed out, a very big difference between Leonardo painting a dog (or fish) in another artist's picture, and Leonardo composing and painting 95% of a masterpiece, with the assistance of

the Virgin of the Rocks pictures, also include the cartoon of the Virgin and Child and St Anne, marking it clearly as a drawing. Label two works that are unfinished. Don't include anything that is "lost".

Can I suggest that you add the categories "Lost works" and "Juvenile works". The smaller predella Annunciation in the Uffizi belongs in the "Juvenile works", along with the Tobias and the

Moreover, there is also a vast difference between an attribution that almost every art historian agrees with, and a claim made by one person. But you have lumped them altogether.
557:. Where the work is not fully bbe Leonardo, there needs to bbe a statement as to the other artist. Where the other artist is the major contributor, this should be made clear. 484:
art historian suggests Leonardo might have painted the fish (and the dog). There is no concensus of opinion about this. I removed "Robot". He didn't invent the robot.
480:
I just removed the "Medusa". No Medusa by Leonardo still exists. I removed "Leda and the Swan". Everyone knows that they are all student copies. I removed "Tobias".

are you on about? Although it is probable that soemone cut it down, and over-cleaned it, there is no suggestion that he painted it with another artist.
785: 554: 664: 790: 695:
Lost works have been kept in the main list, but are clearly marked as being such. Again, I plead 'chronology': I think a separate category for
