Talk:Protestant Cemetery, Rome

Untitled

A temporary page was made for this listing -Gonville 05:26, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The page should most certainly be moved to Non-Catholic Cemetery. It contains hundreds of Orthodox burials, including numerous Russian nobles and notables. The "Protestant Cemetery" is someone's POV. If nobody objects within 10 days, I'll move the page. --Ghirlandajo 15:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Of course the cemetery holds people of various non-Catholic religions but the title "Protestant Cemetery" is NOT just someone's POV. It's an historic title, one which remains the most widely known, and used, name for this cemetery. Let's not re-write history! Madsqueak 02:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The coordinates link in the top right hand corner of the page goes to "http://toolserver.org/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?pagename=Protestant_Cemetery%2C_Rome&params=41.876399_N_12.479943__E" Is not correct or not correctly parsed by the toolserver page. It has 2 underlines before the last E and therefore doesn't work. Changing that to one underline makes it work correctly. It may well be a general wikipedia fault, but I haven;t tested it on other pages. This is just a heads up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.220.233.27 (talk) 12:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Article name

I've moved the page back to "Protestant Cemetery, Rome" for now. Of course that is not its name, which is "Il Cimitero Acattolico di Roma", but it is what it is called in the majority of English-language sources – compare this search to this one, for example – so in accordance with my understanding of [[WP:COMMONNAME, that is what we should call it here. I suggest that if anyone cares enough to want to change it, a move request would be the way to go. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Protestant Cemetery, Rome → Non-Catholic Cemetery, Rome – Original name of the cemetery is 'The Non-Catholic Cemetery for Foreigners in Testaccio, Rome'. Although many English-speakers may be familiar with 'Protestant Cemetery', this name is wrong and should be averted. See this homepage of the cemetery for example. Cercatrova1554 (talk) 23:35, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose. I'm totally in favour of using the real (Italian) name of Italian institutions when there's no clearly-established English-language name in common use, but that's just not the case here. The present title seems to be – by a wide margin – the WP:COMMONNAME. What we absolutely cannot do, per WP:AT, is use a made-up name created by translation from another language; and that, I'm afraid, is what the proposed new title is.

• Oppose. Common name takes primacy over official name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Failed attempt to add a photo -- advice?

I am attempting to add a photo (taken by me) of one of the more beautiful tombstones (John Piccoli, erected in 1955) but am getting an error message: "A file identical to this file (File:CimiteroAcattolicoPiccoliGrave.jpg) has previously been deleted. You should check that file's deletion history before proceeding to re-upload it." I have searched for this deletion history (am I looking in the right places?) and can find nothing. Anyway, there is no reason for this photo to be excluded... If you can help me understand how to solve this problem (i.e. post the photo) I will be most grateful. You may see the photo here: http://dan-keller.com/photos/2007-06-Roma/CimiteroAccatolicoPiccoliGrave.jpg Danomatico (talk) 17:06, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Danomatico! I assume the image is this one? I'm not a great expert on images, but if this is a photograph of a sculpture created in 1955, it may be protected by copyright. I don't know nearly enough about Italian copyright law to comment on that. If you want to be sure before you upload, you could try asking at Commons:Help desk, where there are experts on this sort of question. Good luck! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

OK, I've found Commons:Deletion requests/Image:CimiteroAcattolicoPiccoliGrave.jpg, which I'm afraid confirms what I suspected (that Italy does not have freedom of panorama), and so your picture cannot be hosted on Commons. The sculptor apparently died in 1971. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:52, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Adding information

Dear users of Wikipedia, I'm a student at the University of Bergamo, enrolled in the Planning and Management of Tourism Systems master course. I am participating in a project for which I have to add information to several articles here on Wikipedia (Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage studies and ICT). For this specific article, after checking the sources, I have added some historical information based on the italian version of the same. Feel free to modify and add infomation to my work and don't hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions or doubts. --Chiabase (talk) 09:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
