Codognè related sources
editAs this article has already been moved once due to disagreement about the last vocal accent I tried to add a couple of sources (ISTAT list of official names of territorial units and the Statute of the commune) in support to the official name (Codognè), but there is an anonymous user that is unhappy with that and I do not want to start an Edit War, thus I add these sources here below, may be soon or late these may be useful.:
- ISTAT (Italian National Institute of Statistics) List of statistical codes and official names of territorial units
- Statuto del Comune di Codognè

Article was moved once only and no one moved it again. Additional sources are not needed because current source includes the two spellings. 185.65.206.138 (talk) 13:16, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Just because the article includes two spellings it seems reasonable to include sources for both...
- Since the anonymous user seems to be unhappy also about the link to a dictionary in support to the alternative spelling with -é, I add it also here below:
- * DOP Online
- Weird behaviour, usually sources are welcome. --Ninonino (talk) 13:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
One source with two spellings isn't it better than two sources each one with spellings contradicting each others? 185.65.206.138 (talk) 15:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Codogné → Codognè – The official name of the comune as used by the Gazzetta Ufficiale, the official organ of the Republic (page 17); the Istituto Nazionale di Statistica, the national statistical institute (e.g., this downloadable csv file), the comune itself, and its website, hosted by the Regione Veneto. In English-language sources, Scholar gives about 135 results for Codognè, about 44 for Codogné. Note: judging by the discussion above, this has been a bone of contention for some time.

- Comment I moved the page to the current title based on a technical move request by an IP. It seemed uncontroversial based on the sources provided, but if I had taken a closer look at both the article itself and this talk page I could and should have seen that it's contentious. Sorry about that! It's probably good that we have an RM now anyway, to settle the issue once and for all. Lennart97 (talk) 20:29, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment There's no "official name" in Italy as far as accents are concerned. Until recent times only grave accents were used, then Bruno Migliorini introduced the difference between ` and ´. It is pretty standard now, but not for places: in fact you can see Codognè, CODOGNE' or even Codogne' on traffic signs, but almost never the correct form (from a linguistic point of view) Codogné.--Carnby (talk) 16:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Dr Salvus 23:24, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Relist note: This page was moved today to the proposed title without closing this request, so I moved it back. I moved it back to the recent technical-move title because we see what appears to be a very strong argument opposed to the old title (here proposed). While at first glance there seems to be consensus among editors that this move-back should take place, this spelling issue has been, as has been noted, a contentious issue here and needs to be resolved. Perhaps the best title would be Codogne without the diacritical mark as suggested by editor Blindlynx above; however, rather than to continue renaming and arguing, we need to see good, solid, independent, secondary, reliable sources in the English language that support a certain spelling above all others. Also, keep in mind that in this case, if a "no consensus" decision results, then the title will be moved back to Codognè, so good, solid opposition arguments are required. P.I.

- Comment Sounds like a partially implemented change in standard orthography. But note that DIPI transcribes it as
Codogné (-è) kodoɲˈɲe*, -ɛ*
with both variants. Also, we need to consider the fact that the language of Codogne is not Italian, but Venetian, so Italian is arguably irrelevant here. It's possible (I don't know) that -è reflects the Venetian pronunciation, in which case we should go with that. — kwami (talk) 22:07, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Er, no, Kwamikagami, we should "go" with the predominant usage in reliable English-language sources – unless those are demonstrably wrong or out of date, in which case we should give some weight to solid Italian-language sources too. I've given examples of both above. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:21, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- That makes no sense. "Predominant usage in reliable English-language sources" cannot be demonstrably wrong, because they are what demonstrate English usage. That's like saying for Catholic theology we should follow Catholic sources unless they're demonstrably wrong -- how would we judge they're wrong? If English RS's use the spelling "Kodonyay", then so should we.
- Anyway, if we're supposed to be following English sources, why are we debating Italian sources?
- And if we do not follow English sources, then we should consider the language of Codogne, which is not Italian. — kwami (talk) 01:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- i agree with kwami here, per WP:TRANSLITERATE given that we don't have a clear english name. Venetian wiki appears to use only the grave accent. (Italian has the article tile withe the grave but lists both in the lead)—blindlynx (talk) 02:38, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Kwamikagami the Venetian pronunciation is [kodoˈɲe] with final -é.--Carnby (talk) 05:48, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Er, no, Kwamikagami, we should "go" with the predominant usage in reliable English-language sources – unless those are demonstrably wrong or out of date, in which case we should give some weight to solid Italian-language sources too. I've given examples of both above. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:21, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- So it's pronounced -é in both languages, but predominantly spelled -è in Italian and also on Venetian WP. (AFAICT Venetian does not have a well established orthography.) Italian dictionaries may 'correct' that to -é, following the current standard, but it seems that hasn't filtered into daily usage even in Italian, let alone in English.
- The dominant English spelling seems to be "Codogne" without any diacritic. Why not move it there? We could then clarify that it's Venetian [kodoˈɲe], Italian Codognè or Codogné [kodoɲˈɲe].
- Second choice would be 'Codognè', as the most common accented form in English sources.
- 'Codogné' should only be used IMO if we have a convention of 'correcting' place names in Italy to the current official orthography of Standard Italian, something that even WP-it doesn't do. — kwami (talk) 17:01, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment this discussion points to a deeper issue. Should we start a WP:CENTRAL RFC on how to deal with this in general?—blindlynx (talk) 21:18, 28 June 2021 (UTC) warranted?
- Comment. If English-language sources predominantly use "Codogne" without accent then that would be a good example of what I alluded to above – those sources being demonstrably wrong. How do they expect people to pronounce that, like Dordogne or like Cologne? We have an obligation to follow English-language sources where possible, but we have a stronger obligation to at least try not to get things completely idiotically wrong.
- The page on it.wp has now been moved back to the correct spelling (thank you, Ruthven!). I note that there's a suggestion there that this whole mess is connected with Foundation-banned editor MaoMio; there may be block evasion going on here.

- Justlettersandnumbers Note that most reliable sources in Italian (DiPI, DOP, Treccani, De Agostini, DETI) write Codogné. Instead the official site of the Comune, Tuttitalia and ISTAT use Codognè but remember that sometimes institutional sites and other sources do not distinguish between -é and -è.--Carnby (talk) 18:38, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
