Italy article

edit

As regards your consecutive reverts at Italy: Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.--Panarjedde 18:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I just needed to warn you, because in order to be blocked for 3RR breaking you must know what the 3RR is.--Panarjedde 19:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

"Triestino/Tergestino"

edit

You recently reverted my edit on the Trieste article [1] on the grounds that the text referred not to the Trieste dialect, but to natives from Trieste. However, this is wrong, and I advise you to read the text again, and then read the source that you provided:

    • The dominant local Venetian dialect of Trieste is called Triestine ("Triestin" - pronounced /triˈɛstin/, in Italian "Triestino" or poetically "Tergestino"[1]).

It is obvious from this passage of the article that we are talking specifically about the dialect spoken in Trieste, in which case Tergestino has a very different meaning from Triestino. To quote the source:

    • Tergestino

2 s.m. TS ling., dialetto del gruppo friulano, in uso nell’area triestina sino al XIX sec.

That is, if we are talking about the dialect, then Tergestino must be distinguished from Triestino: Tergestino was a dialect related to Friulan that went extinct in the 19th Century, while Triestino is a Venetian-based dialect spoken to this day in Trieste. Clearly, the passage that I had changed DOES NOT talk about "natives from Trieste", it talks about the current DIALECT of Trieste, in which case Tergestino is not synonymous with Triestino. So please consider these facts and you will see that my edit was more than justified. E.Cogoy 00:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't really care about your dispute but I feel obliged to tell you that Italians have very few similarities to the French culturally and physically, the only link is the linguistic element. The French in average look a lot more like the Germans, and the Italians are purely a mediterranean people since ancient times. Plus the French bean the Italians at football 3-1, which points out their striking cultural differences. ;) Miskin 21:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

South Tyrol

edit

Please do not make edits to this article, as we are having an ongoing discussion about it. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please do so - a decision will be made about the naming convention. Also, "Sudtirolo" does exist - there are references for you to look up if need be... [[2]], [[3]] (an official commune site), [[4]], [[5]], [[6]], the list goes on and on. Thanks! Rarelibra 12:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Italian people

edit

Fertuno, I just came across your two edits in response to my comment on the talk page of the article on Italian people [7]. I'd like to ask you to moderate your tone when speaking with other Wikipedians; your comments toward me bordered on personal attacks, as you made several broad statements accusing me of stereotyping and claiming that I don't know about Italy or its history. As it turns out, I am a second-generation American, descended from immigrants who came to the U.S. from Italy, including some from Liguria, and I have visited Italy and France numerous times. Regardless, I'm asking you to keep your talk page comments focused on the issues around the article, rather than around the individuals with whom you're having the discussion. Tante grazie. | Mr. Darcy talk 04:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh and sorry McDarcy but that was not a personal attack, it was stating one's opinion. Miskin 00:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I can assure you that nobody in France would feel ashamed to be linked to Italians, I don't know how you came up with that. The editors who are reverting this are mainly Italians from what I have figured. There both links and differences between the two cultures, but as there are no fixed criteria as to who is related to whom, then there will always be pov-pushing and edit-wars on the topic. So to decide whether the French, Portuguese and Maltese should be there is fruitless as long as the "related peoples" concept is based on a purely personal interpretation. In my opinion this field of the infobox is a big mistake in the first place. Would you support to remove it completely? Miskin 00:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Alitalia article

Fertuno, Alitalia is not a reputable airline and has had a lot more complaints than any other airline for its practises. Please keep personal opinion to yourself and stop vandalising articles. --83.217.102.162 09:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nonsense

edit

I saw this here: Italian it is not an agglutinative language as is German,... And I found your name below it. As a linguist, I know exactly that German - as all the other germanic languages (English, Dutch asf.) - is NOT an agglutinative language. It has a complex inflection system, more complex than the Italian one, what means that it is the complete opposite of agglutinative languages. The word "Südtirol" isn't just a putting-together of "south" and "tyrol". It is a word, that exists because of a historical developement by combining the ideas of being south and a part of Tyrol. So, it makes every sense to translate it as Sudtirolo, my linguistic friend... PS: It seems you have taken the wrong way to patriotism. Be careful! By an anonymous South Tyrolean.

Next time please sign yourself, my dear. --Fertuno 15:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, I didn't want to be impolite. I'm usually not like that.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Saragat.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Saragat.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

April 2012

edit
 

Your recent editing history at Rome shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Please note that being right would not allow you to break 3RR. Dougweller (talk) 20:42, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Gronchi.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Gronchi.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
