editThank you for your welcome. I've just put some references in the Enzo Giudici italian article, but I have little practise of Wikipedia code, so my work is slow and laborious (and I have to do it in English and French, too! I don't know how to do it, yet…). I hope someone will help me ;-) but I don't have a user page, yet, and I don't know even how to built it (but is it really necessary? Not one for each language, I hope). My priority, now, is to fix the article (the articles, really). There is no problem for a "biography of living people", cause Enzo Giudici died over 25 years ago. I thought the tone was right-neutral, but despite my efforts, maybe the sources I used may have influenced the tone of this article, because they were quite enthusiastic; in fact it can be difficult to fit an absolute ice-neutral tone when speaking about a really special person, most doing so without detracting. Maybe putting in-line references could make it clearer and fit it. I don't know how to solve the language problem, instead, for at least two reasons; 1) E.G. language was Italian, but his main field of activity and studies was French language and litterature, so it's normal that French is used in many of the cited works and bibliographies, such as a universal language; 2) for the same reasons many works are bilingual, too; last but not least, then, just for his international involvement, many references and works citing E.G. works, are written in different languages; in this case external links make everyone be able to check them (only the free ones are cited). What really seems strange to me, instead, is the fact that even though almost every works about Louise Labé, nowadays, are citing some Enzo Giudici works (you can check it easily, just opening some books of theirs), nobody has put Enzo Giudici works among others in Louise Labé article (nor create a proper E.G. article). In this case, who would you suspect of making advertisment and promotional: someone who was universally rewarded as a renowned scholar and who dead 25 years ago, or someone who is still alive and still looking for honors? I think that balancing information is in the right spirit of wikipedia, don’t you?--Famgdc (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- I am trying to help you on the French version. Once it is acceptable, it will be easier to correct the two others. Do you have a WP:COI with the subject?Racconish Tk 16:49, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Please note the addition od references in a foreign language without inline citation or clarification of their importance to the subject is refspam. Cheers, Racconish Tk 16:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, my fault, you're right. Often I'm just a bit out of my mind. I'll pay more attention. Thank you for helping.--Famgdc (talk) 15:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
