Amphitheatre edit

The editor creating the main sights section stated that the Roman Amphitheatre was "unique in the world as the sole Roman Amphitheatre carved in rock". As of what I've seen, also in Sutri, Lazio, such a monuments exists.

I also removed much of the POV-smelling or non-encyclopedical-style material, which was largely unrelevent, by the way, and added the Province footer. Attilios 21:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

May I suggest that the heading 'Is centu scalas' should be translated as 'The hundred steps'? 'Is' is the plural definite article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom Dawkes (talkcontribs) 12:55, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

New voices edit

Hi, I`m a new member, I added some new voices, -Project for the future-, -Transport- and -Nightlife-, to give new info that are on the Italian version of wikipedia but weren`t here, they`re all real info and you can find them on official website of Cagliari, Fds, Sardinia, so I think it`s correct to add these voices, what do you think?--Alexss1987 (talk) 15:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Climate edit

Hi, new member here. The averages for cagliari are completely fictional. Cagliari does have a mild climate but not so mild as reported here. for references on the only valid data ie that from Cagliari airport http://www.wunderground.com/NORMS/DisplayIntlNORMS.asp?CityCode=16560&Units=metric (Climate normals 1961 – 1990). I am going to find the most accurate data, preferably from Servizio Meteorologico dell'Aeronautica Militare Italiana, and correct it. here they are http://www.meteoam.it/modules.php?name=viewClinoFile&station=560&name_station=Cagliari%20Elmas Sardus p (talk) 11:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Villanova edit

The reference to Villanova in the article links to the Villanova disambiguation page, but it seems to reference a Villanova which is in Sardinia. There is no Sardinian Villanova on the disambiguation page. Either the real Sardinian Villanova should get its own page or the link should be removed. Thanks for your help.

Images edit

Can someone help me to improve the arrangement of the images in the text? I can not do myself ... thanks a lot. Mauro — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roburq (talkcontribs) 07:50, 23 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

There were simply too many images in this article, often interfering with lists, tables, and texts. Therefore I decided to move all of them to the image gallery at the bottom of the article. I understand people would like to include many beautiful images, but keep in mind Wikipedia is a encyclopedia, not an image repository (Commons, however, is). One relevant image per (sub)section should suffice (and none if there are no relevant images), preferably aligned at the right margin and not to wide (200-300px is often large enough). Michael!

PS: Use [[File:NAME|thumb|right|200px| ... ]] with "..." the caption.

Suggestions edit

  • Exemplary articles on cities (e.g. Boston or Washington, D. C.) can be found here
  • Only use relevant images and avoid using too many or too large images (max. one per (sub)section should suffice)
  • The "History" section is quite long. It might be better to spun it off to a new article History of Cagliari and have a concise summary here
  • Citations, foreign words/texts, notes, quotes and quotations, references, sources, etc.:
    • Don't use bold face; it should only be used in the first paragraph of the lead to highlight the first occurrence of the article name(s)
    • Use {{#tag:ref| ... |group="n"}} for annotations
    • Whenever making a factual statement (e.g. "There are twelve fluffy, pink elephants at the top of the cathedral."), provide a reference to a reliable and verifiable source (use <ref> ... </ref>).
    • It is strongly recommended not to use any non-English sources on the English Wikipedia if any English sources of nearly equal quality exist
    • Short quotes should be within parentheses ( " ... " ) and tagged with a reference to the source of the quote
    • Avoid long quotes, especially if it's not extremely relevant or if you could rephrase it in a few words/sentences; use Template:Quote otherwise
    • Foreign words/language should be italicized ( carpe diem, memento mori ) and accompanied with a rough translation between brackets ( ... )
    • Tag any non-English source with an appropriate language tag (such as {{es icon}} {{fr icon}} {{it icon}} {{latin}} {{pt icon}} etc., which results in: (in Spanish) (in French) (in Italian) (in Latin) (in Portuguese) )
    • Use Template:Cite book for citing books (and Template:Cite journal for journals)
    • Always provide an access date (e.g. Accessed on April 14, 2013) for web pages

My God!!! I can't succeed in all that!!! In matter of sources, they unfortunately are mosly in different languages than english. If I find any transalation, I'll used it.--Mauro Podda 15:08, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

These suggestions are remarks how a good article should be done - but they are not commands you must implement.
You can use non-English sources as long as you tag them (i.e. if you quote an Italian book, put (in Italian) in front of the reference). Michael! (talk) 18:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm trying to adapt this article to the others suggested (Boston in particular)--Xoil (talk) 19:12, 15 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
The Medieval Pisan Towers are two, the third is no longer standing and has been included on a building after suffering damages during the ages.

Picture snow 1910 edit

The date is wrong, the building in the picture is the main post office, built between 1926 and 1932 So the picture is more recent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.10.237.56 (talk) 20:23, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Coordinate error edit

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for The Google Earth link for Cagliari doesn't work

Whatever the problem is, it doesn't involve the coordinates in this article. The problem may be in Google Earth itself (in which case you'll have to contact them), or it may be a problem with the GeoHack page you're taken to when you click on the coordinates. If you think it may be the latter, I suggest that you post a message at User talk:Magnus Manske, clearly explaining the trouble you're having. Magnus is a GeoHack maintainer.
