Banca Adriatica?

edit

The article name was changed, but I could not find any reference to the change in name in the official website of the bank. I'm not sure if the name was actually changed, but surely the company is still known as Banca Marche or Nuova Banca Marche, and in my opinion the article should be moved back there per WP:COMMONNAME. --Ita140188 (talk) 05:07, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

But may be Banca Marche more appropriate as a common name / trading name Matthew_hk tc 07:58, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Negative profit

edit

@Matthew hk: I noticed you reverted my edit on the profit in the infobox. I think this notation with color and parentheses can be quite confusing. For example, there may be cases where amounts of money are in parentheses for other reasons. Also, conveying such an important information as a negative number with formatting (red color) is not really safe, as this information may be easily lost for example with a copy paste. Also, this notation in general does not seem to be standard across Wikipedia. In summary, I think just putting a "-" sign would be better. Let me know. --Ita140188 (talk) 01:38, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Even accounting report use blacket to show negative not - the red colour is on top of the blacket thing. Matthew_hk tc 09:01, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Matthew hk: yes, but as I said there are other cases where numbers can be in parentheses for other reasons. This format is only used in accounting, where numbers fit a very specific format (in a table). I think in the case of infoboxes on Wikipedia we should stick with the universally recognizable minus sign (-) as already used in almost all other infoboxes. --Ita140188 (talk) 01:36, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
