Re: Akrillai

The article looks good. :) Only question I have is on the section starting with "One night in 213 BC, whilst the city of Syracuse was" a direct quotation from a work? If so, you can put the entire work into the quote template and it'll look like a block quote, which I think is the effect you want. It would look like {{quote|Hello there how are you?}}. I believe that putting the quote between blockquote tags has the same effect. Otherwise, it looks great. :) --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 09:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Great! :) Let me know if you need anything else. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 10:32, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Comiso Airport New-runway.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Comiso Airport New-runway.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

New section

Hello. I notice you have been adding a lot of good information to the Sicily article. I think the article needs a section on tourism, seeing as Sicily is a top tourist destination in Europe. We can add a couple of images of Taormina and Giardini Naxos. What do you think?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

B class criteria

Sicily

I see that another editor has been removing text and images on the Sicily article, without discussing it first on the talk page. Che fastidio!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Boccadifalco

Thanks! BTW the ANSV had it spelled "Bocca di Falco" on its Tuninter crash report - I guess it mistakenly wrote it that way. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Comiso Airport

Hi Sal173x, This is RASAM. I used 'changed' instead of 'reconvert' in the article because I'm fairly sure there is no such word as 'reconvert' in English!! Convert - yes, conversion - yes, reconvert - no.

I have a similar problem to you in that I'm English but live in Germany; one advantage that you have over me is that your written English is better than my written German !

Regards RASAM (talk) 20:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Sicily-2

Sicily is an autonomous region, and the infobox needs that parameter to show it properly (noticed that "autonomous region" thing below "Sicily"?). just what is wrong with you anyway?--93.45.54.25 (talk) 18:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Wind Jet Flight 243

Hi, I notice you're a native Italian speaker. I had to rely on Google translate for the info. Did I really mis-read the translation of the webpage. As far as I understood it, 200 people were unable to leave Sicily due to the closuer of Palermo Airport, compounded by the ferry having anchor problems which confined it to port instead of operating a service to the mainland. Anyway, I'd appreciate you going over the Italian language sources and making any necessary corrections to the article. Mjroots (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. Is it worth mentioning that the people were stranded on Lampedusa due to the combination of the crash and breakdown? Thanks also for the AfD notice, I would have spotted that anyway due to my system for watching articles I've edited (the table marked "See here for" - click on the words "or worked upon"). I've added my !vote to the AfD. Mjroots (talk) 05:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

What is the source for the flights being diverted? This should have a reference, presumably it is one of the Italian language sources I quoted. Mjroots (talk) 06:03, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the sources, I've formatted the refs using {{cite web}}, which isn't as hard to use as it may look at first sight. Mjroots (talk) 06:52, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Italian articles

Re your offer, you might cast your eyes over the 2009 Viareggio train derailment article and just double-check the Italian language sources. I don't think there will be much wrong though, as the article has been up a fair while and many editors have contributed to it. Mjroots (talk) 16:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

December 2011

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Mediterranean Sea, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. - Takeaway (talk) 14:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Please, don't accuse me to be a vandal again. The criteria is "sovereign countries", not only cities. Thank you. Kordas (sínome!) 00:49, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 6

Hi. When you recently edited Malta–Sicily interconnector, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ragusa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Decimal separator

Please note that in English Wikipedia (and in English generally, with a few exceptions), the separator for millions, thousands, etc. is a comma. A period is used to separate the whole number portion from the fractional portion of a decimal number. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Delimiting_.28grouping_of_digits.29. This is the reverse of some other European languages. Therefore, a change like this [1] is incorrect in the English-language Wikipedia, and articles like List of airports in Sicily should use the correct format as well, i.e. 13,257,369 rather than 13.257.369 passengers. Thanks. --Amble (talk) 05:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! The different numeric conventions in different parts of the world can be quite confusing. And thanks for your work on geographic entries, statistics, etc. --Amble (talk) 02:59, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I learned something too in reading the rules for numeric formats. I had always thought that the commas and full stops were constant in each language, so that English always used 1,000,000.00 and Spanish always used 1.000.000,00, for example. But it turns out that South Africa (usually!) uses the latter in English, and Mexico uses the former in Spanish. --Amble (talk) 22:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Italian Motorway Sign RA15.jpg

The file File:Italian Motorway Sign RA15.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Superseded by c:File:Italian traffic signs - raccordo autostradale 15.svg.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 13:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
