Talk:Vatican Radio

Unlike the U.S....

Unlike the U.S. the Vatican (the smallest country in the world by population) has its own radio station! - 5:29pm, January 11, 2007 (EST) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Patricknoddy (talk • contribs) 22:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, but also remember that the Vatican leads 1.1 billion people -- one in every six humans, and still having the ear of non-Catholics of the world. The US might not have a radio station, but the Democrats do, and the Republicans have their own news network (though less overtly). Then again, we might consider National Public Radio to be the country's radio station. By the way, the Vatican is not the smallest nation by population. It's actually the second smallest. But it is the smallest country by size.J.J. Bustamante 03:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The claim that the Vatican "leads" 1.1 billion people is extremly dubious since it is based on the Roman Catholic churches own figures (based on baptisms) and ignores Catholics who have lapsed, ceased practicing, converted to other religions or become agnostics or atheists. Even amongst practicing catholics few have heard of Vatican radio, fewer have the knowledge or wherewithall to listen and even fewer actually do ! 80.229.222.48 22:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

What kind of comment is this? Every country has its international radio propaganda medium, certainly including the U.S. (VOA and several others), which are under the authority of the BBG. Is there even a point here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.55.38.21 (talk) 06:42, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Radio Vaticana logo.png

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Lawsuit

The part about the lawsuit could maybe be split into a different article, if it seems appropriate. ADM (talk) 14:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Correct Pronunciation?

Any chance please of a guide so that we non-Italians can pronounce "Santa Maria di Galeria" properly? I suspect many can handle the "Santa Maria" bit (!) but is "Galeria" pronounced "Gah-LEHR-iah" or "Gal-er-EE-yah" or something else entirely? Maybe even a playable .ogg file in which a native Italian speaks the site name? That technique is used quite a bit on other wikipedia pages as a means of conveying correct pronunciation for words....
