Hi Alessandro, I hope you are good. I would kindly ask you if you can give your opinion here [[1]]. It is a talk about Canova ethnicity/nationality. The talk got a bit tumultuous, so a user asked for a third opinion, and I decided to give mine. Since you are experienced, it would be a pleasure if you join the talk :)--Walter J.

Hello, Alessandro57. This is a courtesy notice that thecopy edit you requested forCorsican Guard at theGuild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. Allfeedback welcome!  – Corinne (talk)20:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Alessandro57 -- I have finished copy-editingCorsican Guard. There are two things I want to ask you about so that I can make the sentences clearer:

1) In the first paragraph in the sectionCorsican Guard#Origin and formation of the Corsican Guard you have this phrase:

• during the 15th century Corsicans began to settle in Senese and Latial Maremma

I looked in both theSiena article and theLazio article and I wonder whether your adjective forms are correct. In the Siena article I saw "Sienese" as the adjective, not "Senese". In the Lazio article I did see "Latium" as an alternate name for Lazio, but the adjective "Latial" appears nowhere in the article. When I did a search for "Latial" to find anything at all in WP with that term, I found only a reference to an ancient area of Latium that existed in B.C. times. Because of that, I'm wondering whether "Latial" is really the correct adjective for relatively modern Lazio/Latium.

2) In that same paragraph is the following sentence:

• Originally, the Corsicans were only able to find humble jobs in the city and its surroundings, mostly in the areas of sheep breeding and wine trading (the island's wines were much sought after in that period), the only exceptions being a career in the church, as a servant in the Vatican palaces or as a soldier of the Pope or some of the Roman baroni; consequently, they did not become well integrated in Roman society.

Besides the fact that good writing calls for "parallel structure" – that is, that in a list of items in a sentence, the items are all of the same grammatical structure and type – and you don't have that here:

• a career in the church
• a servant in the Vatican palaces
• a soldier of the Pope or some of the Roman baroni

All three are noun phrases, but the second and third are people while the first is not. But besides that, it is not clear whether "as a servant in the Vatican palaces or as a soldier of the Pope or some of the Roman baroni" are two examples of "a career in the church" or are two additional and separate examples ofexceptions to occupations such as sheep breeding and wine trading. Your answer will tell me how to make this sentence clearer. If they are two examples of "a career in the church", then "a soldier of...some of the Roman baroni" wouldn't fit, would it?  – Corinne (talk)20:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Hallo@Corinne:, and thanks for copyediting! About your points:

• Nice catch! I think that the adjectives are "lazial" and sienese;

• The sentences refer to three different professions:
  • Priest
  • Servant
  • Soldier

maybe one could write: "the only exceptions being: a career in the church; as a servant in the Vatican palaces; or as a soldier of the Pope or some of the Roman baroni" but I think that this is an Italian construction... Cheers,Alex2006 (talk)17:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

How about changing "a career in the church" to "a priest"? "...: as a priest, a servant in the Vatican palaces, or a soldier in the employ of the Pope or the Roman baroni". This way, you avoid having to repeat "as".  – Corinne (talk) 02:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Were there other careers in the church besides starting out as a priest and working one's way up? I suppose two other careers in the church were "a servant in the Vatican palaces" and "a soldier for/in the employ of the Pope". It's too bad we can't just include all these in careers in the church. The only thing that doesn't fit is "a soldier for/in the employ of...the Roman baroni".  – Corinne (talk)02:28, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes@Corinne:, I think that "a priest" is correct, being the starting point of a career in the church, exactly like a servant and a soldier are also the starting points of other type of careers.Alex2006 (talk)15:55, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. In case you have not followed the relevant discussion, this user is nota vandal. That term refers to a specific type of user who causes damageon purpose. Please remember toWP:AGF. The user here is a student in aeducational project trying to constructively contribute to Wikipedia. She is sadly hampered by poor grammar and vocabulary skills, due to being an ESL. A more constructive approach, rather than just revert her and calling her a vandal, would be to proofread her edits (some content is useful, and well referenced) and report mistakes she does on her talk page, so she can understand why were are unhappy with some of her edits. PS. On second thought, I now agree with you that the crude oil part is nonsense and there is little to rescue from the source cited, so I am not going to restore anything there again. But I stand by my earlier comments - the errors you spotted are the result of poor English skills, not intentional vandalism. I pointed several examples on her talk page, feel free to add more. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here}03:52, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I will enrich you a bit:  ;-)

1. "myself" in "I felt myself enriched" is completely unnecessary.
2. "smaller vocabulary" is much more common than "narrower vocabulary"

PS. The Simple English Wikipedia doesn't seem like a good alternative to me.

Please check the last question I left for you on the article ofTalk:Metropolitan cities of Italy. It concerns election of the metropolitan council in these cities, which remains very unclear to me. --Criticalthinker (talk)06:37, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

I guess what I'm asking is what is the electoral system for metropolitan cities as it relates to electing the metropolitan councils? I've read the law on this, and it seems the description starts at around paragraph 27, but it is very confusing. If there is some easier way to describe the electoral process, that would be great to know. It sounds like there are competing lists, but beyond that it is very confusing, with each municipality getting so many seats, etc. I am not clear on whether each constituency (in this case, the municipalities) has a list, or if there is an overall list for the whole metropolitan city for each party. --Criticalthinker (talk)11:06, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: sorry for the delayed answer, but I have limited access to Wikipedia in these days. You are right, the whole election process is not clear, and information is contradictory. In the next days I will try to find some more source, although the law should be the main source in this case. Cheers,Alex2006 (talk)06:47, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi there dear Alessandro57,

I hope I'm replying in the proper manner...

Regarding the edit I made athttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongyli_Megistis , thank you for notifying me for not setting an edit summary. As I am quite new to the Wikipedia Editing world, I think I might have forgotten to state my edit. On any other edits i've made so far, I do not think i've left that behind and I'll make sure to not to on any new ones.

I will proceed in remaking the particular edit and completing the Edit Summary field.

Again many thanks,

RegardsN— Precedingunsigned comment added byDikaion Nika (talk •contribs)22:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear Alex2006,

I am afraid this is not a valid argument.The universal name of the island as stated in all naval and other official maps is that of a Greek name. In this English language article it is the Greek name in Latin writing. Any other name in any other language, or any other translation of the name in any other language is irrelevant and not only it does not contribute as information, but it misleads from the truthful name, as it implies that there is/are other official names of the island(s).In 2019 Greece had 21,8 million visitors from all around the world. Coming form various countries using many different languages, they could have written their own name or translation of the island in the article. I think that would confuse matters further more. If Turkish tourists visit Greek islands and have useful conversations between them, that should not be a reason of misleading the rest of the world. They can still have conversations with the official names as well.

On the 2nd argument.I am afraid your statement is inaccurate historically. This island or any other part of Greece was never Turkish. It was under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire 200 years ago. There is a major difference between modern Turkey and the Ottoman empire. To name a major one, Ottoman names and writing were not in Latin character but in Perso-Arabic script written from right to left.Throughout history many islands in the broader region, had been under foreign occupation from various occupants neighbour to Greece or not. To name a few countries only from the past 500 years without reference to antiquity: Russia, England, France, Spain, Italy. If there are all these languages present in articles regarding current names, again that would be misinformative and create more confusion for the public.If the Turkish name refers to a historical name recorded at some point in history then the historical sources and particularly the chronological date should be mentioned.Stating that the current name of the island is other than its official name, not only does it create confusion on the education of the public, but it provides an opening for conflict and further dispute on a region that has been clearly and officially defined.

I will start a new section open for discussion on the subject. What is the procedure of approval or disapproval of an edit? And who decides on an edit of an article?It is not of my intention to start an edit war, just to clarify information and avoid unnecessary claims.

Please read the question I left for you atTalk:Metropolitan cities of Italy. Thank you. --Criticalthinker (talk)12:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I left you a follow-up question, as there was a misunderstanding. --Criticalthinker (talk)11:24, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Use this as an example (http://www.provincia.cagliari.it/ProvinciaCa/resources/cms/documents/ElezioniConsiglioMetropolitano23ott2016-CalcoloIndPonderaz.pdf). How is the .780 redistributed among the remaining bands? --Criticalthinker (talk)04:19, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

OK, tomorrow I will try to understandil busillis :-)Alex2006 (talk)17:38, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for all of your help so that I could rewrite theMetropolitan Cities of Italy page on the English-language wikipedia so that it made sense and was covered in detail. My next project is to add a section to theElections in Italy article describing the localelectoral system for local (comune) elections in Italy. But, again, trying to translate the source material for this in English has been difficult and the existing information on local elections pages for Italy aren't that clear.I found the law that deals with local elections (for cities over 15,000); it is in Articles 72 & 73, specifically. I'm confused about a few things:

1. The law appears to say that if the mayoral candidate wins in the first round, and the group of lists connected to him received at least 40% of the vote, then that group of lists automatically gets 60% of the seats, correct? And then it says that if the mayoral candidate wins in the second round without his connected lists having gotten the 60% of the seats in the first round, that this group of lists are still awarded the 60% of the seats in the second round, correct? And then finally, that in either case, the lists (over 3%) who didn't receive the 60% of the seats then divides the remaining seats amongst themselves proportionally, correct?

I guess a more simple way to phrase this is does the winning list - so long as it gets at least 40% of the vote - connected to the winning mayoral candidate alway get 60% of the seats? What happens if a group of lists wins more than 60% of the vote? Is everything then done proportionally? I guess I'm confused by the results of themost recent municipal election in Turin in which the Five Star list only got 31% of the vote in the city council race vs. 42% for the center-left list, but still won the majority bonus. Is it only because Five Star's mayoral candidate won a majority vote in the second round?

2. Finally, going back to the issues of the metropolitan cities and provinces, is theindice di ponderazione figure how much each elector's (consiglieri e sindaco) vote is worth? So, in thisexample of an election is Venice in 2015, a mayor and city councillor's single vote from the comune of Venice (32 consiglieri e sindaco) is actually worth 932 votes?

You can post a reply to this on my talked page, if you'd like, or you can respond, here. If I was not clear with my questions, feel free to ask me to clarify. Grazie! --Criticalthinker (talk)10:19, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Sicarius redirects to a page about "a splinter group of the Jewish Zealots".Sica is the page about the ancient Roman knife. You might want to put a little more thought into your reverts [[3]] and a little more research into whether an edit is 'constructive' or not.208.85.164.43 (talk)19:59, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

...that Julius II presented himself as the "Liberator of Italy". Can you restore my previous edit? It left everything as it was except making it clear that this happened in Rome 1513 and not Mantua 1512 (Medici not yet restored at that point). The source is the book of Marina Formica.Barjimoa (talk)08:59, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry, no problem! BTW, since you are the project about Rome here...can you jump at it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Italici There are a number of changes I proposed to that article and I wanted to know what you think as well. Also, i think we can co-operate on many articles since our area of interest appears to be the same!Barjimoa (talk)09:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Alessandro57. This is a courtesy notice that thecopy edit you requested forVia Giulia at theGuild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. Allfeedback welcome!Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝)01:15, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Alessandro57, as it was not your Request atWP:GOCER, you should not havedeleted it. At a minimum, you owed me the courtesy of a ping and a query as to whether I thought it should still go ahead, as it was my request and all copyedits are not equal. In fact, there are a few passages that I think need work, but what's done is done. Just remember, you have no right to remove requests from that page that you did not make. Thank you.BlueMoonset (talk)01:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Now that the GOCE copyedit has been completed, you will want to work on the "clarification needed" templates that the editor added to the article, since the DYK review will not be able to conclude while they are still active. Best of luck!BlueMoonset (talk)02:37, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
