Bill Gates ownership?
I've removed the claim that Bill Gates now owns the Vitruvian Man. Not only does this contradict the earlier-stated ownership of it by the Gallerie dell'Accademia, I can't find documentation for such a claim anywhere on the web. This appears to reflect a confusion between the Vitruvian (a work on paper), and the Codex Leicester, which Gates did in fact purchase. -- P L E A T H E R talk 02:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I believe that link to http://vitruvivien.com belongs here. It is unique art fully documenting that human with such proportions is possible.
Skylab 2 or 3?
Near the end of the article in the 'see also' section it says, "Skylab 3 mission patch, an edited variation of the Vitruvian Man." The problem is if you actually look at the image of the patch on the right of that quote it utilizes the roman numerals II, i.e. 2, Skylab 2, not 3. That doesn't necessarily mean Skylab 3 didn't use a similar image, or that that the Skylab 3 mission patch for some reason features 'II' instead of 'III'. My limited research was inconclusive, if someone would like to clear up this apparent error on the article, go ahead, I'm just pointing it out.Anti Career Wikians 04:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- The official NASA numbering of the three manned flights is Skylab 2, 3, and 4, with 1 reserved for the launch of the station itself without a crew aboard (fortunate, since the station was damaged at lift-off). However, there was a miscommunication, and the patches were numbered 1, 2 and 3 (I, II and III). GBC (talk) 01:49, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
