[edit] List of Italian given names

Ciao Sailko, sono Nick Glass. Sono felice che tu ti sia impegnato a migliorare la pagina sui nomi italiani, ma penso che le tue modifiche non siano esattamente opportune. Per esempio, non capisco il criterio con cui hai messo in italic molti dei nomi della lista. Se hai qualche fonte precisa sulla diffusione attuale dei nomi sarei contento se me la dicessi. Se ti sei basato solo sul buon senso o sulla tua esperienza (ad esempio le persone che conosci) ti assicuro che non è molto affidabile: alcuni nomi sono diffusissimi in aree relativamente ristrette e, fra parentesi, io non conosco nessun Giuseppe, Gaetano o Carmela! La scelta dei nomi da aggiungere l'ho fatta per dare alla wiki inglese una raccolta "completa" dei nomi più rappresentativi e non solo di quelli più comuni. Per quanto riguarda i nomi che hai tolto, anche qui mi sembra tu abbia usato un criterio un po' strano. Se si decide di togliere Azzo perchè può ricordare qualcosa d'altro (malizioso che non sei altro), allora bisognerebbe togliere anche Penelope ed altri che non mi metto ad elencare. I commenti che hai aggiunto mi sembrano poi poco utili o rappresentativi (dalle mie fonti risulterebbe che il nome Aligi è accentrato per 2/5 in Toscana e per il resto disperso al Nord ed al Centro). Magari si potrebbe pensare di aggiungere l'origine, il significato o cose così. Per questo potresti consultare il progetto antroponimi sulla Wiki italiana: una parte dei nomi gli ho aggiunti io. Ciao!

[edit] Nomi Italiani

Ommioddio!!! Il solo pensiero di nomi come Maicol, Chevin (anche scritto Kevin), Ilary o roba simile mi fa accapponare la pelle!!! Riguardo ai nomi rari o rarissimi sono abbastanza daccordo con te. Comunque i nomi che ho inserito nella lista, anche quelli a prima vista più strani, gli ho messi perchè, dalle mie fonti risultano ancora esistenti, anche se sporadici. Se ti chiedi quali sono le mie fonti, mi riferisco in particolare ad una elaborazione elettronica degli abbonati al telefono realizzato dal centro di calcolo della SEAT (società elenchi ufficiali degli abbonati al telefono), alla quale è seguito un processo di pulizia per togliere i nomi stranieri di residenti in italia ed i nomi palesemente non rappresentativi. Quindi in Italia esistono, anche se solo qualche centinaio o decina, persone che si chiamano Agilulfo, Astolfo, Volturno, Platone, Eustasio e così via. Tra l'altro non ho messo quelli che risultavano davvero rarissimi o le forme alterate più singolari (anche perchè ci avrei impiegato una vita!). Non ho messo neppure nomi storicalmente importanti . Vorrei poi farti notare che, dopo tutto, questa è solo una lista, che non si prefigge lo scopo di dare informazioni particolarmente dettagliate. Andrebbe piuttosto fatto un articolo (Italian Name che contenga tutti i dati a cui ti riferivi (compreso magari l'elenco dei nomi più comuni per quel povero inglesotto alle prime armi!), presente per altro per varie altre lingue, come il giapponese Japanese name o il tedesco German name. Ciao! Nick Glass.

[edit] The Malebranche

Hi Sailko. At List of cultural references in The Divine Comedy, I noticed you made an this edit saying that "Malebranche" was not a Luccan family name. According to Madelbalm p.376, in his note for Canto XX1, lines 118-123, "the names given to the demons in this pouch are generally fanciful coinages of Dante. Burt Malebranche (37) was a family name in Lucca, as were Graffiacane, Scarmiglione (105) and Cagnasso (here Cagnazzo)." Do you have any reason to doubt this?

[edit] Gothic architecture

Thank you for your pertinent edit! It was stupid of me to leave that fact out (two facts, really). --Amandajm 09:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sailko! With regards to your suggestion, the famous English architectural writer Sir Banister Fletcher comments on the smmalll windows and doors and says that it was because of Italy's "brilliant climate", so he seems to be relating it to the brightness of the light rather than the heat of the sun, but I would think that the heat would be another important factor.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Milva vontagzutag.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Milva vontagzutag.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Draftlock (talk) 07:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
