Ferrol

Looking at the modifications you are trying to implement on the “Ferrol” you are just letting yourself completely down as you are making it too obvious that you are not neither a geographer nor a historian. You are just trying to bring to this particular entry a big amount of unnecessary “stuff” which is not needed and doesn’t add anything new to entry as it already is. You see the different between you and most of the people who contributes in this free encyclopaedia is that your need to show the pictures of yourself in your profile meanwhile most of us just contribute to the whole project just because we are thinking of the millions of people who will benefit from our work. Obviously, some of us are just thinking of the “laurels” that we might get!! And in your case that is literally the case: YOU LIKE WEARING THOSE LAURELS right?!! … You see… just a bit too vain for my cup of tea!! HAVE A GOOD DAY AND STOP VANDALIZING MY WORK YOUNG MAN!! … and it would do you any harm if you put aside a few of these science fiction books you say you like so much to get instead some old fashion HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY books!! And I mean it seriously!! Cherio!! Or shall I say “ciao bambino!! Mamma mia!!”--Gladys Tuffnell (talk) 21:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

I find this as offensive ... particularly coming from such a beautiful young Italian!! <<This user is a 'sockpuppet of user:Colin Gleen. Please take some action against him/her/it. --'''Attilios''' (talk) 17:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)>>[reply]

THIS IS JUST A CAUTION AND NOT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN BUT BE FULLY AWARE THAT “VANDALIZING” ARTICLES OR OTHER PEOPLES USE PAGES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!! THIS IS A FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA NOT A PIZZERIA RUN BY THE “COSA NOSTRA”!!

P.S.: Next time I promise to shout: <<STOP VANDAL!!!>> o.O --Gladys Tuffnell (talk) 20:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canosa di Puglia: 8 May 2010

Could you please explain why again you removed the galleries on the Canosa di Puglia page. You failed to adequately explain the policy by stating in your notes that is was not in Commons. I suspect you didn't check as they clearly are in Wikipedia Commons. Would you please describe in better detail the idea of deleting such galleries completely. I can understand reformatting the galleries and placing the pictures elsewhere, but the deletions would indicate that this is a point of view as you fail to substantiate their deletion.

Prince Belmonte: 12 April 2010

On 20th March 2010 you removed a great deal of content from the above article, with no justifications for the edits. I revised the changes so that any who have an interest in Southern Italy prior to the unification of Italy could continue to access the information on this set of individuals who had importance in that era.

I see that on 12th April you have repeated the wholesale deletions, this time with comments: viz Finishing purging out excess of araldic (useless) detail)/rv totally unrelevant, overdetailed noble-stuff/...Purged of serfish attributions.

Your edit comments such as 'araldic (useless) detail' and 'serfish attributions' indicate a personal view which is revisionist, to say the least. Italy in the south functioned as a feudal aristocracy for hundreds of years: the Belmonte article does not claim that was a good or bad thing- but to delete the facts is not going to remove the history, and a 'serfish attribution'- an opinion- is in other words 'the power of the feudal aristocracy'- a fact. My question to you as an editor is whether you can really be sure this article with its full material is not of interest to others? Is it not a legitimate matter for such 'araldic' material to be available in an article on a relevant subject for those who ARE interested in the topic? [By 'araldic' I take you to mean 'heraldic'.]

For brevity, I am going to pick three items which you deleted which would appear to be of interest to a student of southern Italy's history, as examples of many others:

1. 'General Commander of the Austrian Army at the Battle of Bitonto, during the War of Polish Succession.' The entry on this individual was totally destroyed by your edit. Was he really so irrelevant to the country/region's history?

2. Here is a reference which would have helped guide any person with an interest in the topic to original source material, again deleted, with no decent justification: 'Secretarías Provinciales, Libro 152, folios 90 vº y ss, Departamento de Referencias, Archivo General de Simancas (Valladolid)'

3. Would it not be of interest to see the military connection between the control and resourcing of two castles in Puglia (Copertino and Galatone) and a fortress against Saracen invasion at Belmonte? How can a reader capture this after your deletions?

I understand that you are an active editor on Wikipedia. But, given your expertise, do you really see a justification for the wholesale destruction of content, including footnotes which provide guidance to original materials? You have the skill to refine and improve material, but wholesale deletions based on an apparent dislike for topics relating to the history of southern Italy appear to show a serious lack of objectivity.

I am not going to continue to defend this article, re-posting large parts of an article that you have deleted twice wholesale, including what appears to be a significant amount of research by others into original materials. But I am registering disappointment that an article which I enjoyed learning from has been rendered to a skeleton of its former self- and is now, frankly, pointless.

PS Where are the photographs now of the castles held by this family historically? Are you really maintaining by deleting them that this material is not of interest in enriching an article and making it more informative/interesting to a reader? Extraordinary.

History of Islam in southern Italy

Several years ago you started a page on the above topic. On 27th June 2007 you added the section History of Islam in southern Italy#Independent emirate of Sicily (965–1091), ending it in the middle of a sentence (guess you were tired). Despite extensive edit wars on the article, that sentence has never been completed...is this a record? Any chance you could finish the section off properly?

WP:MOS

Hi! Which part of WP:MOS were you referring to? I hate to admit it, but I have some trouble finding the relevant passage... Monegasque (talk) 12:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jews in Tudela, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.seattleluxury.com/encyclopedia/entry/Tudela. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Please follow the instructions at WP:Copying within Wikipedia the next time you move content from an article to another. Regards, Theleftorium 09:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working my way through some suspected copyright issue articles and came across Primavera (painting) which you created back in October 2005. This article appears to have been primarily a copy/paste from www.wga.hu which looks like a copyright violation as they clearly state "© Web Gallery of Art", however in looking at your other contributions around that time I see, for example, File:Madonna Masaccio.jpg for which you state "Permission by www.wga.hu". I am wondering if you had explicit permission to place their text onto Wikipedia also and if that permission was ever communicated to the Wikimedia foundation (through OTRS or whatever system they may have had in place back then). Is anything ringing a bell? VernoWhitney (talk) 03:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. It had skipped my mind to actually look through your old talk pages before asking you about the situation. I'll try and follow up with those who had previously talked to you about the copyright status of those articles and see what they figured out. Thanks again! VernoWhitney (talk) 13:08, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Would you happen to still have the email or whatever other communication you had from www.wga.hu granting you permission to use their material? VernoWhitney (talk) 13:49, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Attilios. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. --VernoWhitney (talk) 15:06, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if I upset you, that was not my intent. I am not opening a copyright violation against you, I am opening an investigation into those articles you created 5 years ago. I am aware that any copyright situation was unintentional, but there is still copyrighted material present in some of the articles you created, and unless we have usable permission from the copyright holders it needs to be removed. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:16, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As an admin who works copyright problems, I just wanted to second what VernoWhitney has said here. This investigation is not meant to malign you or to devalue your contributions to the project over the past five years. It's just that when this content was placed, we didn't have really good processes in place for handling these kinds of copyright concerns, and if this material has been copied without a legally usable permission (even if they had all good intentions), we can't have it. We currently have a copyright investigation opened on a professional author because his publisher wouldn't let him reuse his own words. Wikipedia is a very prominent website, and we just have to be sure that we handle copyright matters in accord with the US laws that govern us to avoid getting into trouble. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:18, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Attilios, you are soooo polite! I am currently in the UK visiting family. I haven't been doing any more on Wiki than keeping an eye on the pages that I watch.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Fieschi family. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  Mbinebri  talk ← 20:19, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you.  Mbinebri  talk ← 20:20, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scusa se ti disturbo ancora una volta per una cosa vecchia di un anno fa. Nella voce su Franco Sacchetti c'è un tizio che sta inserendo un "also known as Frano Sacetic" che non sta né in cielo né in terra, rollbackando a tutto spiano anche chi gli segnala che un nome del genere non è mai stato utilizzato da nessun autore, nemmeno in Croazia! Puoi dargli un occhio? Grazie e ciao.--151.21.254.68 (talk) 17:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scusa ancora se ti disturbo, ma quel tizio addirittura adesso ha inserito questa modifica: addirittura Sacchetti sarebbe nato a Ragusa in Italia, e così il furbone ha cancellato tutto quanto in un colpo solo! Purtroppo per lui (e per noi, che dobbiamo leggere simili bestialità), Sacchetti è nato a Ragusa in Dalmazia, da un padre mercante fiorentino che era trasferito là per affari.--151.21.249.158 (talk) 16:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Faccio il mio ultimo intervento nella tua talk page e poi mi taccio: purtroppo dopo un giro di valzer siamo tornati al punto d'inizio: il tizio ha rimesso al suo posto Frano Sacetic. Sconfortante.--151.21.249.158 (talk) 18:41, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to make sure, I think a note should be left in the article discussion demanding that a reliable and verifiable source is provided to show where the Croatian name comes from, before adding it again to the article. --Piero Montesacro (talk) 19:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC) -- Done --Piero Montesacro (talk) 20:01, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image galleries

Hi! I see you've done a lot of work improving articles, especially those related to Italy and Italian culture, where your knowledge is especially valuable. However, I'd appreciate it if you'd read and respond to my points at Talk:Achiam before continuing to insist that the article's image "gallery" must be deleted.

In addition, please be more thoughtful in composing your edit summaries. Summaries such as...

  • The previous article was clearly written by an ignorant of architectural history
  • rv stupid advices in the external links... This is an ENCYCLOPEDIA!!!!
  • reverted to section pre-messy additions by semilliterate

...are uncalled for (though they do provide some unintentional—I assume—comic relief when read as a group). Also, what does sthg, seen in many of your summaries, mean? EEng (talk) 21:10, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hi

Piacere, I met you editing some articles, or their talk, I'm editing too, like Fausto Veranzio or Franco Sacchetti. So, watching pictures of your graduating on your user page I wonder in wich university did u take your degrees, It seems to be familiar. Is it in Rome or Turin? See you around, --Theirrulez (talk) 02:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh that's why it seemed so familiar.. ;) Ciao! --Theirrulez (talk) 14:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Caribbean International

Why the removal of the convert tag? It makes the data approachable for both users of international units and those of other system. Granted, it may be more appropriate to list international measure first, followed by the conversion - but no reason to remove entirely. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 20:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Foscari

Ciao, I would value your opinion here Talk:Ca' Foscari Palace - the page name irritates me just to look at it, to me it seems like moving the White House to White House Palace. The page needs a lot of copyediting etc too, but I have not touched it, as I assume the editor concerned is in the middle of a large re-write and so it's probably unecessary.  Giano  18:17, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Kamishli

Hi, i saw that you edited that article with minor edits. The user Sanharib made an edit to that article, adding; "Kamishli is an ASSYRIAN city". Could you please remove that, since im not able to edit that article, i have to be semi-user. Kamishli is an Syriac town in Syria, not Assyrian. Assyria does not exist, Thanks Suroyono (talk) 09:14, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leghorn

Hi, why are you changing Leghorn to Livorno? DuncanHill (talk) 21:56, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words about my work :) as to Leghorn, redirects are cheap, and the usual English-language name is Leghorn. I'm not going to go about reverting you, but personally I don't see a need for change. DuncanHill (talk) 22:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, even if consensus has been reached to use Livorno for the article, I still do not see the need to change all the links. My Oxford Dictionary of the World, OUP, 1995 has Leghorn, and I suspect that many other recentish reference works would still have Leghorn. DuncanHill (talk) 22:06, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I seem to remember somebody saying that "Leghorn" looked horribly outdated. I am not an Englishman or American, but I think, the better and more precise way in such situations is always to get stuck to the name used for the article, in order to grant Wikipedia at least a decent degree of uniformity! Ciao! --'''Attilios''' (talk) 22:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
May I just interject here and say that speaking from quite a lot of personal experience with British, Americans and Italians all discussing Livorno that Leghorn is seldom, if ever, referred to. I think also (not that it proves anything) if you google the English speaking "cruise ships sailing to Florence|Rome" you will find they dock at Livorno rather than Leghorn. I think that today Leghorn is very outdated. It certainly is quite different from Firenze and Florence which has a clear and definite nationaly spoken preference.  Giacomo  12:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
