User talk:FabrizioParisi
I am sorry I think I made a mess of your Talk page. This is the first time I have used Wikipedia so please excuse my efforts. Can someone please explain why three paragraphs in my colleagues wikipedia page on Sicilian Nobility, along with citations have been deleted? The paragraphs on Baron Serramarrocco and the Ventimiglia Vallon family were deleted entirely. The user that deleted them may not see their importance however for those of us who monitor and write about the lives and habits of contemporary aristocracy this act is criminal. Not only were citations specific to the deleted paragraphs deleted by this user but sources used in the writing of paragraphs he decided to leave were as well. I tried to restore the references but believe i did so incorrectly. He also added some information to the text without citing. I have no issues leaving some of the information he added re Infante Carlos as this is not my area of expertise and any additional information is helpful but to erase information drawn from research and primary source material my students and i have spent so much time researching is criminal. Iam sorry if i am overreacting however this is my passion and to see our work destroyed pains me. Please let me know what we can do to block this individual from deleting our work. Either way we want to share our research on the the contemporary aristocracy with the wikipedia community.

Sicilian Nobility
[edit]This is the first time I have used Wikipedia so please excuse my efforts. Can you please explain why three paragraphs from my colleagues wikipedia page on Sicilian Nobility, along with pertinent citations have been deleted? The paragraphs on "Barone Serramarrocco" and the Famiglia Ventimiglia Vallon were deleted entirely. The user that deleted them may not see their importance however for those of us in southern Italy that monitor and write about the lives and habits of contemporary aristocracy this act is criminal. Our island has been stripped of its tradition since the second world war. Academics at the University of Catania are trying to restore the respect our island warrants. Contemporary aristocracy is of the utmost importance to our island and sense of self. To delete all traces of what remains of our fragmented aristocracy, as this user who I am certain is NOT A SICLILIAN, has done so insensitively, reeks of censorship. It is a blatant attack on our culture and deliberate revision of our history. Not only were citations specific to the deleted paragraphs erased by this user but sources used in the writing of paragraphs he decided to leave were as well. I tried to restore the references but believe i did so incorrectly and you reversed them.This user also added some information to the text without citing his source material. I have no issues leaving some of the information he added re Infante Carlos as this is not our area of expertise and any additional information is helpful, but to erase information drawn from months of painstaking research and primary source material my students and i have spent so much time digging through is criminal. I am sorry if i am overreacting however this is my passion and to see our work destroyed and my culture trampled on through cultural imperialism pains me. Please let me know what we can do to block this individual from deleting portions of our work. Either way we want to share our research on the the contemporary aristocracy with the wikipedia community. If not I would like to file a formal complaint. Sincerely,
