If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmitafter they have been resolved.

Sorry, why did you remove my adding about Italy has most culture in the world, there were the sources too.Cartoon Gamer (talk)12:47, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you can press the 'undo' button on my edit if you like. However, I think it ought to be moved up in the article if you add it back, to the part where they talk about Italy's influence on Western civilization, because there are already many - many! lines about how Italy has influenced Western civilization. I don't think there entirely needs to be a line with, "Italy has been the most influential on world cultures" and I didn't feel your sources were great. I honestly don't think there's a way to 'rank' cultures on how much influence in the world they have, it was just a list as one person's opinion.IslaAntilia (talk)12:52, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
