Re: Italian general election, 1948 edit

You added:

"A leftist coalition would not win a general election for the next 48 years, till 1996. This was due due to the Italians' traditional bend for conservatism, on one side, but even more importantly to the Cold War, with the US closely eyeing Italy, and often heavily meddling in its politics, not always by licit means (See: strategy of tension), after their desire to maintain a vital NATO presence amidst the Mediterranean. "[1]

As a comprimise I made with someone who probably does not share your POV, this section will be deleted in a week because it lacks sources. Travb (talk) 22:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

"if the rule requires finding an appropriate online quotation in English (difficult)"
You can quote non-English sources. See Plan Colombia. The Venezuala gentleman on that page quotes Spanish sources all the time. No reason to be so melodramatic. I believe the US was involved in Italy's election, but others do not. The verifiablity rules are there for a good reason. Maybe I can find a source myself, but as the author, you probably have something more readily available than I do.Travb (talk) 22:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I see you add a reference. Thank you. God speed. Travb (talk) 22:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Italian general election, 1948 edit

Hi, I removed your reference, because it came from the Larouche folks, generally not to be used except as reference in those articles related to the LaRouche movement. Hope you don't mind. Intangible 02:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Kolyma edit

Buon Giorno (o Buona Notte depending on where you are)! I see you've been involved in the Kolyma epic and I wondered if, as a historian, you might be able to contribute to finding a few more authentic references. The poor guy who put the thing together feels really hammered and I sympathise. I think you might be interested, for example, in a great Italian account of Kolyma at [2] which gives an extremely convincing account of what went on there. Pity our North-American friends are still skeptics. I've made some headway on the article myself but there's still a long way to go. And BTW, can't you contribute to [3] ? Or start a new article on Campi della Kolyma. There is still a lot to be done in Italian. Ciao--Ipigott 22:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Xueyantuo edit

Merging what? Xueyantuo into Shato? I don't think Xueyantuo were related to Shato provided from what I had read, althought the german link itself probably said so itself. Maybe on a turkic etymology link their possible related, but without any original texts for assertion those assumption are shakily at best. However, the link between Xueyantuo and Shato are centuries apart, the latter are notable for founding the three of the Five dynasties, li keyong probably had a much profound influence greater than southern tang, I think they can be keep as two separated article.

Contributo edit

Ciao, ho visto il tuo contributo a Istrian exodus dopo il solito vandalismo del famigerato croato DIREKTOR: non hai reinserito il tuo riferimento a Norma Cossetto quindi ho spostato citazione e collegamento relativi in foibe massacres che è l'articolo più appropriato. Il croato DIREKTOR ha già subìto sanzioni dagli amministratori ma è tornato a far danni: se non lo bloccano, continuerà imperterrito. La mia utenza è stata messa al bando nella versione in italiano per un motivo inesistente da certi amministratori ridicoli e insensati: conseguenza è che sarò più attivo in questa versione. Se vuoi, puoi lasciare qui un tuo parere di commento riguardo la citazione iniziale di AI che sormonta il testo: io ho proposto di rimuovere tale citazione spostandola nell'introduzione quindi ho pure segnalato altre citazioni sulla devastazione che affianchino quella di AI. Per la neutralità, secondo me, è meglio spostare le citazioni nel testo o lasciarle sormontare l'articolo: in questo ultimo caso necessitano però due citazioni inserendo pure quella sulla devastazione. Amichevoli saluti,--PIO (talk) 16:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of shipwrecks in April 1941, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Myloi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
