2018–19 Atalanta B.C. season, Roma 3–3 Atalanta

Hey man, hope everything is well with you. Can you help me figure out why on earth the score for Roma v Atalanta won't show and instead has the "v"? I cannot figure it out for the life of me and it's driving me crazy. The Roma season article shows 3–3 and it's the exact same infobox and info. Italia2006 (talk) 23:06, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@Italia2006: I'm good thanks. Um I think I fixed it, I literally just copied and pasted the one from the Roma page to the Atalanta page and it seemed to work. I looked in the history at what it exactly did to fix it, and it shows some fixing with the spacing, although I don't know why that would've been the issue.

Bad Blood

Sorry I wasn't around much the past couple of days to see or respond to your question earlier.

Generally, the thing with TV show infoboxes is that even with a show that keeps a consistent cast, it's very easy to overload the cast list in the infobox far beyond utility, by simply listing everybody who appears in the show at all — for example, does the infobox on The West Wing need to list Kathryn Joosten and Marlee Matlin and Mark Feuerstein and Danica McKellar and Lily Tomlin and Matthew Perry and Oliver Platt and Gerald McRaney and Hal Holbrook and Clark Gregg and Mark Harmon and Connie Britton and everybody else who can claim to have been more than just a one-off guest, or should it restrict itself to the people who were the most central to the show's core storylines? The answer in that case is the latter — even as long as the show's article is, the show ran for so many years that the infobox could probably still outrun it if everybody was indiscriminately added to the infobox's cast list.

On Bad Blood, I'd say that generally you made the right choice to keep it to the "main" characters instead of the "recurring" ones. For the time being, I would personally also have kicked out the people who don't have Wikipedia articles of their own to link to yet — but there's no policy requiring that, it's just the way I would have done it. Bearcat (talk) 00:22, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

@Bearcat: No worries. Yeah, that makes sense. Since the cast is not consistent between the two seasons, it is tough to judge, especially because the cast for this is all different except Kim Coates. Anthony LaPaglia was obviously one of the centred characters in season one, but now doesn't appear at all, so he isn't really starring, although he once did. But Angela Asher, although she appeared briefly in a couple episodes, obviously doesn't belong in the starring or main cast section. The Bad Blood website I liked you to does list all those people under "cast", which to me looks like main cast because they don't include some other smaller characters. Although for the first season, they never included Claudia Ferri in the cast list although she was the main antagonist, a justice against Vito - whereas in season 2 Lisa Berry they do include her, the main officer against the Cosoletos - but I went with their website to not include Claudia. I think unless we see some new sources about the cast, it would make sense to include the ones they have, and have had, on their website, including ones who starred in season 1, and ones who do in season 2. I don't necessarily agree with not including non-linked people since they still may be part of the main cast and still not have a wiki article, especially the Canadian ones unfortunately. Definitely if they didn't have the website it would be somewhat challenging to list the starring characters as it would be different POV for everyone - maybe that's what's going on with The West Wing I wouldn't know. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 01:06, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

That's not really all that outlandish. Corner Gas was always a "CTV and the Comedy Network" thing, 19-2 and Carter both did double duty on CTV and Bravo, Rogers ran Nirvanna the Band the Show on both Citytv and Viceland, and on and so forth — running a show on one of the terrestrial networks and one of the same company's cable channels at different timeslots within the same general timeframe is just kind of what I'd expect the big multichannel groups to do these days. Look at it this way: extra advertising revenue if they run it twice, extra times for people to sit down and watch it, less money that they have to spend on acquiring other programming to fill a time slot, and (perhaps most importantly) if they can count the show against two different channels' CanCon targets at the same time they don't have to spend as much money on new production. Bearcat (talk) 22:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Bearcat: That's interesting, didn't know that. So then we should list both networks in the infobox? I don't think they used FX for season 1. And also what to do about the episode broadcast dates for the episode summaries? Technically FX broadcasts the new episodes first, but I think Citytv is the main network. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 01:10, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
I'd leave them both as Citytv, since that's still considered the primary network. The body text of the article can maybe mention the FX airing as secondary information, though. Bearcat (talk) 01:13, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Just FYI, I just found out yet about another example: The Beaverton, which was just on The Comedy Network until now, is graduating to CTV this season too. Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Wow, I didn't realize that this practice is as widespread among shows as it is, good to know. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

IPA representation of Monfalcone

Hello, Vaselineeeeeeee. Recently I was editing the article about Monfalcone and my attention was attracted by the IPA representation of the name of this place. The article currently states Italian pronunciation: [moɱfalˈkoːne] but if I follow the link to Help_talk:IPA/Italian the sign [ɱ] is not described. I checked other italian names having the same sound sequence and it is almost always rendered as [ɱf]. Should the help page be accordingly modified or should the IPA representation on the articles be changed? Has this topic been debated somewhere and a consensus on which sign to use been reached? Thank you, Doubtshadow (talk) 11:18, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Map help

Hi. I've been trying to get the Template:Canada image map to be more friendly on Provinces and territories of Canada like the Template:Italy Labelled Map is at Regions of Italy. It is able to float to the right at the top of the article without taking over the whole page. Would you know how to make it like that? I don't think the map in its own section below is the way we should show the map. Thanks. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:27, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

If I had time (which I don't at the moment) I would be able to dive into this and give you a good answer, but I think at the moment my best advice would be to copy/paste this request at WT:WPT, since that's where a lot of the template-savvy editors hang out. Don't use the {{help me}} tag, though.
Just from a quick glance (to get you started) it looks like the two image maps use different syntax, which causes them to display and be used differently. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

GA Nomination: Lebanon national football team

Hi,

I have noticed that you have nominated and reviewed multiple football articles for GA nominations; would it be possible for you to take a look at my Lebanon national football team article nomination if you had time?

Thanks, Nehme1499 (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

@Nehme1499: Hi. I've never reviewed an article, but from what I can see it looks like you put a lot of work to help clean up the article. The sourcing looks decent on a quick look, but would probably recommend to add a few more sources to the 2011–2014: Stagnation section. Unfortunately, the GA nomination process can take a long time. I used to go to Jaguar with my nominations as he reviewed hundreds of articles and would take requests, but unfortunately he has retired. Good luck with the nomination; I have put it in my watchlist to see when it is reviewed to see if I can help when it gets picked up. I hope to do the same with the Italy national team eventually as I've put a lot of work into cleaning it up as well. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:53, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your response. I apparently got confused as I saw multiple GA badges on the top of your userpage making me think that you have had experience in reviewing articles. I appreciate you putting the Lebanon national team article in your watchlist.
Nehme1499 (talk) 15:57, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
@Nehme1499: Those badges mean that I've helped clean up the article in question to get it to GA. I nominated them, but did not review them. Actually reviewing articles is a painstaking process, which is why there is such a long backlog for people to review GA noms. Maybe I'll consider looking into the reviewing instructions, as I have not been involved in the article, when I have more time if Lebanon is still not picked up. I think you messaging Courcelles and Sportsfan7777 is good since they've actually reviewed many articles in the past and perhaps they'll take on your request. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 16:01, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
I see. By the way I would be glad in helping you out for the Italy national team if you manage to nominate it for GA! --Nehme1499 (talk) 17:34, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

It's a violation of NPOV rules to erase sourced material without a discussion. You seem unaware that Capone was the #1 national and global symbol of American prohibition. Rjensen (talk) 15:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@Rjensen: I'm not unaware of it, I just agree with the other editor that it's undue and chronologically out of place. Also, what you're claiming, him being a national symbol of prohibition, is not sourced in the section you've added back; it's merely a short biography. Even in Prohibition in the United States he doesn't have his own section. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Do you agree that he's a national symbol or not? eg " Al Capone became a symbol for the lawlessness of Prohibition and the failure of government to address the problems" Carolyn Boyes-Watson (2013). Crime and Justice: Learning through Cases. Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. p. 269. Rjensen (talk) 16:01, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
I do agree that he is a national symbol, but I still don't think that we need a whole section on him to write one sentence that he is regarded as a national symbol. That source with that claim can be added beside the sentence highlighting him and Lucky Luciano in the article. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 16:08, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

At Cape Bonavista, July 2017
@WikiPedant: Unfortunately I haven't, but it's definitely on the list. A few summers ago we took a road trip out east but only made it as far as Halifax - going through New Brunswick (St. Andrews) and seeing some whales as well, but never like the ads where they jump out of the water (just their back!). Hopewell Rocks was amazing too at low and high tide, and of course the Confederation Bridge. Our plan was to take the ferry over to Newfoundland but a) ran out of time, and b) the weather wasn't the best. I also wanted to see icebergs which I know you can see, especially in Twillingate; you see any? Up North is definitely on the list as well for the Northern Lights. On my user page, I have a comprehensive list of where I've been if you want to take a look. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:41, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello Vaselineeeeeee -- Sorry to be slow responding. Yes, East Coast weather can be uncooperative. Both of our trips to Nfld have been in mid-summer, so we've only seen one iceberg -- this solitary guy, up at Cape Bonavista (on the northeast coast, about 3 1/2 hours from St. John's). That really is a puffin in flight in the photo. There's a craggy island separated from the cape by a narrow, gorge-like channel, and it is a puffin nesting ground. They are stupendous fliers, although you'd never know it to look at their rounded bodies and unimpressive wings. BTW, when you get to St. John's be sure to drive up Signal Hill and take the stairs and hiking trail down to the ocean. Best -- WikiPedant (talk) 07:06, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
That's a great shot! Thanks for all the info, it is definitely on my list! Best regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:39, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi

Hi. No, it is not recognized by the Italian FA (as the 1943–44 championship, even if for different reasons). [1] --Ballistiq (talk) 21:23, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ballistiq: That is hardly a source. Can you find a written source? Please do so before doing further mass edits. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:26, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. The Italian Football League is clearly a source! More, the official page [2]. Have you got official sources in opposition?--Ballistiq (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. In Italy, the Football League is the strongest in all Europe, it organizes not only the championship, but also the cup and the super cup. Its statement are considered as official by the Football Association, if not contested. Have you got some sources against its official positions?--Ballistiq (talk) 21:51, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. No, it implies that it was annulled, as all annulled things in human history. There was also a championship in Italy in 1943–44, it was annulled, and it is not counted. Rsssf spoke of a two-legged final in 1941 and 1942 (clearly for the Allied bombing: supporters travels were unsafe).--Ballistiq (talk) 21:58, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry if I did not read all that discussion, maybe I could use less time to read all the Bible... I saw you spoke about a pic of Simone Inzaghi after the 2009 supercup, and I agree that it could not be used as a reliable source: the player could have taken another teammate’s medal. This case is different: here we can see an official backdrop of the Football League, and it is a source as a League document (if not in contrast).--Ballistiq (talk) 22:24, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I agree, nor YouTube or the photo are sources, the sources are the Football League backdrops we can see through YouTube and the photo. And, for the third time, I ask you again: have you got sources about your version?--Ballistiq (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Official source [3] including INTERRUPTED (not cancelled) edition. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 23:31, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I hope you are joking. A simple title of a news report more relevant than the branded image of the organization of the tournament?? Your misleading source can be easily explained: a press officer opened google, he found the Wikipedia article that usually is one of the first ones shown by google, and he copied the number. But the Board of the League is obviously more important than a simple press officer. More, the edition of 26–27 was forgotten for years, it was discovered in 1999 when AC Milan asked to “Panini”, the most prestigious sport publishing house in Italy, to print an almanac with all the matches played by the “Rossoneri” in their 100 years. The first edition of that almanac did not have reports about the 26–27 cup, as all football almanac at time, and only after further researches the second edition of the almanac discovered that cup edition.--Ballistiq (talk) 13:07, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Vaselineeeeeeee, i can't follow, is that about the edition of Coppa Italia? @Ballistiq: interpretation any photo is borderline WP:original research (unless some common sense thing such as c&p the word / proper noun from the photo). For citation, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport should have some reporting on the edition of the cup. simple calculation is not an original research, which if an article stated cup in X year is Y edition, then it is easy to figure out X-n year is which edition even it may have gap between due to war or whatever, just the wording of "anniversary" seem not equal to edition. Matthew hk (talk) 12:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Mattew. It is not a problem of anniversary (the 100th anniversary of the first Coppa Italia will be in 2021–22). Coppa Italia was not played many times before the 60’s. Here we are taking about the official edition count.--Ballistiq (talk) 13:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
As a reminder, in case of dispute, the "stable edition" applies until forming a consensus . So please stop any change to the editions until you provide a real citation for the editions (the list of winner page is not a proper citation for editions). Matthew hk (talk) 13:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
You spoke about the “Gazzetta dello Sport”. Here, in Italian, the article of the Gazzetta about the 1998 final, Milan-Lazio. At the bottom we can read, in Italian, “Ecco l'albo d'oro della coppa Italia giunta quest'anno alla cinquantesima edizione”, in English “Here is the roll of honor of the Italian Cup, now in its 50th edition”. 50th in 1998, 60th in 2008. The press article of Vaselineeeeee is only an evidence of the damages that Wikipedia can make if it did not use a wide historic research.--Ballistiq (talk) 13:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
  • More, in Italian: this article of August 15, 1997, starts saying “Prende il via domani sera l'edizione numero 50 del torneo”, in English “The 50th edition of the tournament kicks off tomorrow night”.--Ballistiq (talk) 13:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
@Ballistiq: What is this "more Italian" You say a news source is not a source, and then you give me more news sources, from La Gazzetta dello sport no less which is not official like the Lega Serie A is. And yes, a WRITTEN news story, from the official league organizer, not a photo which is WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH as Matthew hk pointed out. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:39, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Unfortunately for you, the press office did not necessarily reflects the positions of the organization it belongs. A famous example occurred last summer when the press office of UEFA announced a two-years ban for AC Milan, but it was a misunderstanding of that press officer. We have many branded images of the Football League in 2008 taking about the 60th Coppa Italia. You must show a document signed by the Chairman of the League, not by Mr Bean the press officer, to invalid that source.--Ballistiq (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
@Ballistiq: Oh please. That is not how sourcing works. At this point, I see no reason to entertain you any further as the consensus so far is that your sourcing is not what meets standards here on Wikipedia. I've gone one last time to garner a larger consensus at WT:FOOTY, and after this point you will be reverted unless you can find Lega Serie A sources that do not require original research. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Good point to speak at WP:FOOTY. I think you will be reverted, if you won’t provide official sources by a real officer (Board or Chairman) of the League.--Ballistiq (talk) 15:51, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

About the camorra clans

Hi, i was looking at the Ndrangheta and Mafia clans sections, and i was trying to fix the Camorra section removing the clans that are "linked", because in other criminal organizations articles the "clans sections" are edited only with the clans that actually have a wikipedia article in english, so, i thought it was wrong to the Camorra clans be with all those "red links", well, and you "undo" my edit... i mean, because of course the Mafia and the Ndrangheta has more clans than that ones that are shown in their pages, and its shown only the ones with a article in the english wikipedia, so, i thought in the Camorra section we would psot only the ones with a wikipedia article too. See for example Template:'Ndrangheta, its the same of the article of the Template:Camorra and its not with the "redlinks" :)

Hi Vaslineeeeeeee, wondered if you could help, in the article he's listed as English (born, raised and still lives in Cambridge), yet in this interview when asked if he '[felt or feels] more Italian than English?' He says he 'certainly [is] Italian and always classed [himself] as one. [He's] never had a British passport and both [his] parents are Italian. [He] was brought up as one. [His] ambitions were to play in Serie A and [his] dream was to play for Italy.' I'm wondering if his nationality in the article should be changed, on one hand he was born, raised and lived all his life in England, but doesn't seem to consider himself English and has an Italian passport instead.

This interview isn't sourced in the article, but he also says Avellino is 'where [his] parents are from in Italy', which is in the 'career' section already, but the ref supporting it doesn't seem to mention where his father was born or where in Italy his mother is from (based on Google's translation, as I can't read Italian). Theo Mandela (talk) 04:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

@Theo Mandela: Hi. Well, firstly that interview is from a blog, I'd try and find it from a different source. The source that is on the article now says his father returned to Italy, being Avellino - and I agree that it isn't concrete evidence that he was from there, but saying "returned" implies that I assume. From the blog interview, I'm not sure how it's possible he's never held a British passport if he was born in England - and it doesn't say he has an Italian passport, just that he doesn't have a British one, which I again find hard to believe. Whether he considers himself as Italian is irreverent - he was born in England, and therefore his nationality is English unless it can be proven he has both citizenships. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 04:57, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Could you reword the sentance in the career section that his parents are from Avellino then please? As the ref doesn't seem to say anything about his mother being from there. Also, where he's called English in the lede it's oddly followed by a ref that confirms he's 'Cambridge-born'. I'm thinking it's unnecessary? Thanks, Theo Mandela (talk) 05:27, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

@Theo Mandela: I think this is something that should be directly addressed on the article's talk page. Thanks, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 05:34, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I went ahead and fixed your recent edit on Liguria. The correct demonym is ligure, for both grammatical genders. Best wishes, Liguro/a do not exist. Jean (t·c) 15:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@JeanM: Thanks for that. Would you mind helping me with the other Italian region demonyms? Would you happen to know the singular demonyms for Veneto in Italian and English, and Marche in English, Aosta Valley in Italian, French and English, and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol in Italian and English? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
@JeanM: Also, if interested in Liguria userboxes, see Template:User in Liguria. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:14, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
I would say veneto/a for the region Veneto (rather than veneziano/a which are specific to the city of Venice). For Aosta Valley the terms are valdostano/a in Italian and valdôtain/valdôtaine in French. For Trentino and Alto Adige each have their own terms which are in common use: trentino/a and altoatesino/a. Not sure about the English terms, sorry! Jean (t·c) 15:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Bruins-Leafs rivalry

Hi Vaselineeeeeeee. I enjoy working on NHL rivalry pages, so I’m pleased to see you appreciate my work on them. During the NHL offseason, I’d be happy to work on a Bruins–Maple Leafs rivalry page. I must ask, what is it you want me to do? Research stats as well as game recaps? Let me know and I’ll be on it when the time comes. Thanks! Jewel15 (talk) 09:16, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Albanian Lists

Hey, Vaselineeeeeeee,

I see you have tagged a lot of lists of Albanian figures (such as List of Albanian Turkish in the military). If you look at the instructions for proposed deletion, you need to alert the creator of every page you have tagged, which looks like it is Bensola97.

Please notify the creator of every page you have proposed for deletion for or I will remove the tags tomorrow. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:18, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Nickname fields discussed

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 80#Club nicknames Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

@Walter Görlitz: That discussion is more about the use of "United" being a nickname of Manchester United FC, and the like, not being a nickname, and rightfully so. No consensus was really reached, but it did not ban well-used 'acronyms' like TFC, QPR, and others like Man City and Man U, as all of them are used in the short name fields. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:10, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
It's about many things. The result is that all nicknames must be sourced. That's one of many discussions. Others have stated initials are not usually nicknames. Start another discussion if you think I'm wrong but stop edit warring about your opinions. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:32, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz: Both Y9 (York 9 FC, Talk:York 9 FC) and TFC (Toronto FC) are sourced, as are the short names/nicknames on major club pages that use a similar style and format. Right now, it seems that using those types of nicknames/short names are appropriate, unless there is a consensus to remove them, therefore there is no need for me to start a discussion on the project page for something that is already being done. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:36, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
And I can source WFC, SFS, PTFC and a thousand other shorthand methods used to by sports writers for every team on the planet, but the WP:NOTNEWS principle applies: not everything about a notable subject is not notable. In this case, you're using instances of their use not instances to state the nickname is the nickname. Right now it seems you're not willing to discuss it so perhaps you should find something else to do because you're WP:NOTHERE. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:40, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz: Wow. I'm NOTHERE?? That's a huge insult for all I've done for this project, so that was completely unfounded. I'm completely willing to discuss, but if I don't feel I need to bring something to the project page right now, I won't. If these and those nicknames are in the main stream media and being used often, that's the very essence of notability for inclusion. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:45, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Your work has been Toronto-centric and your opinion has been you're always right. It will take years to undo that fecal matter. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:47, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz: Oh fuck off, will you, all you do here is bully people around reverting non-stop, and usually wrongly like you did twice to me already in one day. Me "finding something else to do" won't change for a long time, so get used to it, and I'd appreciate if your "always right opinion" wouldn't get in the way of prudent discussion. I help positively build this project along as much as the next equal editor, and if you can't see that then I'm truly sorry for you. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:54, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
I was thinking of sharing the same sentiments toward you. At least when I'm wrong, I admit it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Oh when I'm wrong I admit it, and if you look hard enough you'll see it, but in this case you're wrong, as of now. Maybe I'll be wrong if WT:FOOTY decides so, and I will concede, but I don't think that should happen. Even when you were wrong about Toronto Football Club, you couldn't graciously concede. Egotistic and belligerent man. Fecal matter?? Toronto-centric, yes because I'm from there, like many other people like Johnny Au and others of different cities who edit the things they like. Opinions?....if you mean statements accompanied by reliable sources which you discredit? You edit Canadian-centric things, does that make it fecal matter? What the fuck are you on about? I feel like you're describing yourself, honestly. Complete disregard for the editors here constantly - NOTHERE. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 19:11, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

edit summary

This edit goes against WP:NPA. After I finished lunch and before I came back to edit I decided to see how many times the term is used: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=%22nine+stripes%22+AND+%22York+9%22 It's somewhat frequent, but primarily the team calls themselves that, and a few blogs. It seems legitimate. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:11, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

@Walter Görlitz: Oh please and what does the your disrespect toward me yesterday constitute? A simple sorry would suffice for the unfounded disrespect you spewed at me yesterday, until then, if you can’t handle the same that you dish out I will not retract what I’ve said. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:18, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
I have nothing to apologize for. No disrespect at all.
Check out WP:BURDEN while you're at it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:25, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz: If you don’t see the disrespect in what you said, then I’m very very sorry for you and your character - good Christian values you have. Don’t be a hypocrite with NPA, you routinely go against it, usually with snide comments, but this time it was blatant, but when someone defends themselves from your insulting comments you run toward it. Of course, the burden is on the content adder to find the source (which we had in this case and it still wasn’t good enough for you until you actually had to take two seconds to go to Google), but I see it constantly where you revert an IP who doesn’t know any better but the info could be totally plausible and could be verified with a quick search and added to benefit the project, but instead you blindly revert and allow the editors like myself who do the real service to Wikipedia here by updating the content with sources for our readers. Obviously there is no policy for this, but if you really cared about the subject you would try to improve it than just blindly reverting. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:36, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Sure. Point me to the diff where I made a comment about you in an edit summary and I will apologize here and on my user page. If not, you can do the same, and you can revert the personal attack made by changing the heading. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:17, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Again, please point me to where I violated NPA with you or please remove the personal attack here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:16, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Okay children back to class now. SlightSmile 14:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Not a personal attack - I stated you wrote the headline, then I stated it was hypocrisy - if the slightest thing constitutes a personal attack for you: your personal attacks and unwillingness to discuss content: edit summary, and majorly: prose BS ignorantly and wrongly generalizing my contributions in an attacking manner instead of discussing content to get a rise out of me. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:11, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Neither of those call you a name nor do they make a personal attack, but I'm sorry that I offended you. It was my goal to engage you in meaningful discussion not bicker.
When I discuss I raise points and counter-points. AM I wrong in suggesting that you don't try to address my points? Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:15, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
It directly made an personal attack about my personal contributions here, ignorantly, so yes, that is a personal attack. How could you possibly try to engage someone in meaningful discussion by attacking their contributions? - that's how you anger someone - but thanks for the half apology I guess. I was trying to address your points both here and on the York 9 FC talk page, but after your insult, that was thrown out the window. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
OK. So you're saying those are personal attacks and you intend to publicly call me a hypocrite and you steadfastly refuse to change that because I made a claim that you focus on digging your heels in on Toronto-based subjects. Somehow those are equivalent.
I'll check back shortly and if you keep this here, we'll let a third-party decide. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:37, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Sure, let a third-part decide if that's what you need to resort to - calling someone a hypocrite is not a personal attack, but I'm sure they'll be able to find that both of us have used personal attacks after you provoked me by essentially calling my contributions shit. And yes, I am publicly calling you a hypocrite for this heading, just like you publicly insulted my contributions by calling them fecal matter and unfoundedly stating I'm NOTHERE. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:44, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Are you kidding me? Calling a person hypocrite is the definition of a personal attack. Hypocrite is a derogatory term. Try substituting any other derogatory term in there and see if you can use that same argument. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
I don't really see how hypocrisy is a personal attack, but since I got somewhat of an apology out of you, although I don't know how sincere, I'll still remove the heading. There you go. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 19:08, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Vaselineeeeeeee,
I agree that it is somewhat anomalous that this season is redirect (in this case to 1929–30 Serie A) and those seasons before and after it don't have articles. I agree with you that "1929–30 in Italian football" should "encompass much more than just the Serie A season." I don't agree that it should be WP:G6-d. It appears that the article should mention the creation of Serie B around that time. I will be editing the article, following the format and content of 1930–31 in Scottish football. Your thoughts about this? Pete AU aka--Shirt58 (talk) 10:38, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Shirt58: Hey thanks for the note. If you want to create an article for 1929–30 in Italian football that encompasses more than just Serie A, then I'm all for it (and could help), I just don't think it should be redirected to just the Serie A season because of that (couldn't quite fit it into a speedy cat) and should also mention 1929–30 Prima Divisione and Serie B.

Italy women's

Hey, I've just finished translating the history section from the Italian page. I have also added a bit on information in the lede. I'm sure that the grammar and structure aren't perfect, so I would advise you to put a request at GOCE for copy editing. I would do it myself however I have already reached the max cap of 2 requests at a time. By the way, I tried looking at the top-scorers but as you say the statistics look off. I will try asking in the Italian Wiki football talk page.

If you need anything else please let me know. Nehme1499 (talk) 17:42, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

@Nehme1499: Thanks! There were a few mistakes, but the bulk of it was there; no worries I did just did a copy edit of the history section. And yes, the caps/goals table look a mess with several discrepancies - but maybe you'll have better luck. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 19:41, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you removed Joseph Ardizzone from the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared, and you said you were going to add him to the pre 70s page. I can't see where you put him and on what list exactly did you mean? Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart: That’s because he was when I went to add him to List of people who disappeared mysteriously: pre-1970, he was already there. He was not a fugitive when he disappeared so should only be on this page. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 05:19, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Now I understand.
As noted on my page:
Copy Within Wikipedia If you added material to an article which came from an existing article in Wikipedia, it is highly likely that this will be flagged as a potential copyright violation in our CopyPatrol software.
If you followed the best practices at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia, you left an edit summary indicating the source, I will mark it as acceptable, and you are probably not reading this message. On the other hand, if you did not identify what you did in an edit summary, then I probably reverted the edit. However, the indicated source URL will not be the Wikipedia article, it will be be some site that copied from Wikipedia. (As a technical point, this is not a false positive because failing to follow best practices means that the attribution requirements have not been followed.) If the edit has been revision deleted, let me know so I can reverse it and you can provide the proper attribution. If it was not revision deleted but simply reverted, feel free to undo my revert, explaining carefully in the edit summary why you are doing so and add the proper attribution.
Could you add the attribution as required (Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia)? Thanks in advance. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@Corwin of Amber: rv is just revert, rvv is revert vandalism, r would just be reply. It is obviously not an Italian name given his parents are from Ivory Coast, however, he is an Italian, therefore the IPA is Italian. However, I agree with you that this would not be the Italian way to pronounce this name, as before the video came out of him pronouncing his own name, it was thought to be [kɛn]. Therefore, I kept the IPA linking to IPA-it, but changed it to visually produce IPA: [mɔis kin]. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Metropolitan cities of Italy

Hi, can you check out the question I left on the Metropolitan cities of Italy article? My question is basically, like the metropolitan counference, are the members of the metropolitan council also chosen from within each of the councils in the metropolitan cities, or can any eligible voter be chosen? If so, this needs to be made clear. The metropolitan conference's composition is made clear as it uses the word "composed from" (probably should read "comprises," but that's a whole other debate over the English language). Is the metropolitan council also "composed from/comprises" of the various city mayors and councillors or is it simply chosen by them? Thanks! --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:56, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Dina Pugliese

I was looking for a standard English pronunciation, but I’m afraid there isn’t one. I had already listened the recording you linked your summary to, and she sounds to me like she’s saying /pʊlˈjɛzɛ/, with a final vowel that is normally “impossible” according to English phonotactics (being one of the so-called “checked vowels”). I had also heard another where another person pronounces her name as /pʊlˈjzi/ (or maybe /plˈjzi/? I cannot tell for sure, as there is some noise covering). That’s why I put the tag, for someone to provide a pronunciation that is immediate for English speakers without having to approximate Italian (she is Canadian after all). But as I said before, there probably isn’t a universal one for her name in English. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八[IvanScrooge98]会話 21:59, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@IvanScrooge98: Yeah, I wouldn't worry about putting an English tag as there isn't one accurate way to pronounce it in English. She correctly doesn't pronounce the "g" in her name, and so others have likely followed suit, but it is common to pronounce the "g" for English speakers, like they would in Gagliardi, Petraglia, or similar. Then they can say it with a long "ee" at the end like you have shown above. For the most part, she says it as "Italian as you could get" without going "full Italian accent" as in "yee" for "gli" she just drops the "g". Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 22:05, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes, it’s a pity I didn’t find one of those videos where the concerned person is asked about the pronunciation. :) Still, at least we are providing the Italian one. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八[IvanScrooge98]会話 22:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

In fact, it’s a by-product of his lengthy career in the mafia. As such, I feel your revert was rather unnecessary. Feel free to drop input. KirkCliff2 (talk) 05:18, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I should’ve left a better edit summary, sorry. I don’t think the known for parameter is needed at all as it is conveyed by the allegiance parameter. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 13:45, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Re: Pozzo

Yeah, I'll see what I can do about the Pozzo article when I have time! I haven't looked at the Italian one if there were any sources there that would be a good starting point. I'm sure there's a lot about the World Cup victories that I used for other players. Best, Messirulez (talk) 15:13, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I looked at the Italian article, but there isn't many sources unfortunately. Do the best you can. Thanks. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:28, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Maranzano

I'm a little worried about your inclusion of the disputed "mugshot" of Salvatore Maranzano, but I wasn't able to find any more established sources on the matter. As far as I can tell the source you removed, Informer, mostly had credibility because the article's author also wrote one of the article's other sources. Informer recently muddied the waters itself.

Not sure what the best course of action here is. Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 17:15, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I am moving this discussion to the article's talk page. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:38, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
