"to be equipped in the Specola observatory of the Academy of Sciences of Bologna Institute?" is hardly correct English. Johnbod (talk) 17:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
  • The theodolite design is more important in the scheme of things, although perhaps it was ready to be invented, but the word "theodolite" would turn off many readers. The Academy is also interesting. I prefer the sense of the first hook with simplified wording. How about:
ALT2 ... that Pope Benedict XIV arranged for Jonathan Sisson's instruments to be installed in the Bologna Academy?

  • ALT hooks need reviewing; original hook struck due to grammatical issues. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Good to go with either of the ALT hooks, but preference would be for ALT2 due to length. Everything else looks good with this article. Moswento talky 11:44, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
