Buona sera, signori e signore. Discussions about the Italian Wikipedian's notice board will take place here. --Lacatosias 16:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well, it's start...

I'll have to finish the page tomorrow. I hope people will join in this effort.--Lacatosias 18:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Hi, the following source [1] has recently been posted as a claimg that Mina has sold over 50 million records, for inclusion on the List of best selling music artists page. I was wondering if an Italian speaker could confirm that this page makes that claim, and that its a fairly reputable source e.g. not a fan site. Cheers. Robdurbar 14:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Robdurbar, this site is certainly credible and not a fan site. However, I think someone IS trying to pull one over on you: It doesn't say a word about the number of records sold. Period.--Lacatosias 16:17, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italy-geo-stub split

I've made a start on this; broadly speaking I'm creating a stub template for each of the regions, but until they hit the threshold for creation of a separate category (60 articles), feeding each of those into a "group of regions" category, starting with Cat:Central Italy geography stubs and Cat:Southern Italy geography stubs, and a couple of regions big enough to be separated already. If anyone wants to pitch in with sorting the rest, they're more than welcome, particularly with the articles that aren't categorised by region, which I'll have missed entirely.

[edit] Shortcut

Sorry, but your shortcut is wrong. We Micks already have it. But I like your page. I'm going to take {{RWNBs}} back there. We're not doing it at present. Frelke 07:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is Italy a Great Power?

Please discuss at Talk:Great power, lack of input is stopping us from reaching consensus. Nobleeagle (Talk) 00:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Standard naming scheme

Please see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Regional notice boards#A uniform naming scheme. Zocky | picture popups 00:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Not being Italian, I am out of place here—at least under the page’s current name. But on this occasion I will stick my oar in and note that if the name were changed people like me might start turning up. I would certainly like there to be a place for people interested in Italy to hang out from time to time and chew the cud. A wikiproject might seem to be the ideal solution, but there are a lot of those around which, having been set up in a fit of enthusiasm, fail to meet reasonable expectations. Something more informal would be good. For example, yesterday I got involved in the question of an article about an alleged son of Beppe Fenoglio, Franco, who is (allegedly) a neo-nazi, unpublished poet with a habit of getting himself imprisoned. I have no idea whether he exists or not. But Google offered no confirmation and the Italian wikipedia has no mention of him so I suspected a hoax. After a chat with another editor I WP:PRODed the article on the basis that the article gave no sources. But it would be good to have a place to alert readers of La Stampa (or whatever), listeners to RAI (or whatever) who might have been able to say: “Yeah, he exists”.
Obviously I have nothing against Italian Wikipedians having a private club if that is what they want. But if you felt that a club with a broader membership, and more frequent conversations, would be better I, personally, would be very happy. A presto! —Ian Spackman 17:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with translations

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Italian. Thanks, --Soman 12:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italian municipalities bot

Most municipalities in Italy do not have a wikipedia article yet. I would like to add them automatically with a bot, using data from istat, the Italian statistical institute. Please take a look at the sample article at User:Eubot/Moretta, and comment on the format of the article. Feel free to edit that article; I will take your edits into account when writing the final version of my bot. Eugène van der Pijll 21:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Autobianchi - ajuto!

Not sure whether anybody even visits this place, but I am in serious need of help... Namely, I have started to expand the Autobianchi article, which I believe can be quite easily (or perhaps not that easily, but within foresight) advance to featured article. Wouldn't it be great to have the first featured article on an automobile brand/company cover a piece of the great heritage of the Italian motoring industry, and also add one more featured article on an Italian topic?

If you think so, do see the article's talk page - I have outlined the issues I am having with it now, and I believe help from genuine Italians, Italian-speaking Wikipedians or simply enthusiastic Wikipedians would be invaluable. Grazie in advance for you help! Ciao, Bravada, talk - 15:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 02:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carè Alto

The geographical coordinates for this need adding - I've just deleted the incorrect ones which had been copied across unchanged from Mount Everest (!) - MPF 18:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed with Sammarinese political parties

Could you help classify some minor Sammarinese parties into left, centre and right at Talk:Table_of_political_parties_in_Europe_by_pancontinental_organisation#Sammarinese_parties? Thanks! —Nightstallion (?) 18:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] big 1848 project

[edit] Danilo Di Luca: "Di" or "di"

The Italian language version of Wikipedia has "Danilo Di Luca", as does his own website. But it is claimed that Mr Di Luca is in fact in error, and cannot even spell his own name!! Would those who know about this sort of thing please contribute to:

[edit] Noticeboard active?

Hi,

I'm wondering: is this noticeboard still active? Seems not, if nobody object, I'll tag it as historical. Snowolf How can I help? 22:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
