I had just "saved" my addition to a page on "Desiderius" when it was deleted. I realize I am a "clueless" newbie, but shouldn't a reason be listed (del-XXXX)? Jntramey

The person deleting it was lazy and used "rv" (actually I often do that as well). rv means that the last edit was reverted. Dr Debug (Talk) 04:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Who's Remy?

What is the basis for giving Desiderius the surname "Remy"? It is not found in any credible source that I'm aware of. I think it is a later legend or a misunderstanding on the part of an editor. I removed it. Srnec 01:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Dante and the "Lombard tooth"

Today, I added, then removed, a sentence citing Paradiso VI, (citing the body text) which referenced the Lombard gens, not a king, and Desiderius is nowhere named in the poem; that he stands behind the passage is inference, and inference cited to the Commedia alone is synthesis. In this case, Dante's reference to the "Lombard tooth" biting the Church may just as readily encompass the reigns of Liutprand, Aistulf, and/or Desiderius aggregately.
