[edit] Stregheria editing
Since you asked for advice, I'd say that there's a fine line between being bold and starting unnecessary controversy. I have erred on both sides of this line. Since changes to Stregheria seem to be contentious, it's probably helpful to discuss major changes at Talk:Stregheria before making them. One approach that might be useful is to make a new page at User:Solitario/sandbox/Stregheria where you can re-write or even start over from scratch. When it makes sense, you can then discuss your proposals with other editors who can examine the different articles for comparison. Since you spent time with the introductory materials, you have a head-start on thinking about what approach you'd like to take to contributing.
While I am here, I'd like to point out that there are a number of other articles related to this one that might also fall into your area of expertise and that could use attention, like Charles Leland and Aradia (goddess). On the other hand, some people around here prefer to stay away from their areas of expertise, having more fun editing other articles. Again, welcome, and I hope that you enjoy yourself here.

- Thanks for the compliment. I went through a number of articles on related subjects (see Aradia) and re-worked them as well. Cult of Herodias and Benandanti could use some attention, though. Jkelly 19:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Will review Cult of Herodias and Benandanti articles.
