Cyprus
I saw your message on Doug's talk page about the Cyprus moves. I don't know if he has any particular interest in the topic, but it seemed like a pretty severe breach of WP:NPOV so I went ahead and reverted them all. Thanks for flagging it up. If you have time to look at the user's other contributions it would be helpful... they have also been making some dubious changes to the article content. – Joe (talk) 09:59, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

indice di ponderazione
I asked this many months ago, but never got back to you to follow up. I still did not understand your explanation for the calculation of the indice di ponderazione in metropolitan cities for elections. Specifically, I offered this table (https://cittametropolitana.ve.it/sites/default/files/news/Tabella%20indice%20ponderato_10072015.pdf) for you to use as an example, but you used an entire other example. Can you explain more clearly using the table provided? Thank you. --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:23, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Ah, nevermind. I think I may finally understand a bit better. Using the example I have posted above, Fascia D is 6.071% points above the 35% threshold to start out. Then you reweight everything to 100% - 41.071% = 58.929%; to find the new redistributed % per fascia, let's say you take Fascia C. You divided 8.705% into the new weight of 58.929% to get .14772 (14.772%), though I'm not sure what this number represents. The next step I'm not exactly sure what's being calculated but you take the .14772 and multiply it by the portion that overhung the original 35% which was 6.071%; that gets you 0.8966, which you then add to the original % per fascia (8.705) to get 9.602%. I get everything after that, but what I'm still not understanding is what the figures we get in each of these 4 steps are. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:53, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would like you to explain the Redistribuzione eccedenz process, though, so I know what each value is doing the steps. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Alfredo pasta
As you probably know Alfredo pasta is totally unknown in Italy, and you'll never find a restaurant who makes it. A similar dish, known as "pasta al burro" is the only similar thing you can find in Italy. So it is not Italian, rather an Italian-American dish. If it is in the "Cuisine of Italy" template we can add Hawaiian pizza as well... --79.19.219.156 (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC) Why is it vandalism? I'm trying to have a normal, calm discussion. Just explain why am I wrong...--79.19.219.156 (talk) 17:36, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you are the nth ip (with n > 1000) trying to change the article. But you are right, better to explain (also if you could understand the problem reading with attention the article). The "Fettuccine all'Alfredo", also named "Fettuccine al triplo burro" were born in Rome, at the beginning of last century. Then the recipe migrated to the united states, and there it was developed and found its new home. As a result, the dish (which is not the classic fettuccine al burro, but a variation, since alfredo di Lello used to put butter in three different moments) was born in Italy (Rome) but is now popular in the united states. This is summarized in the infobox, where the place of origin is italy, but the associated national cuisine is american. Was I clear or should I explain myself better?

Antiphellos
You cannot attack me about deleting a source when you literally use a tourism webpage to support your claim. Either come with a scholarly book/article specifically mentioning a valid, Turkish name of Kastellorizo, or stop edit warring. Also, your argument about distance makes absolutely no sense here. By your logic, the Balearic Islands should have Arabic names too, since they're only a couple kilometers away from the Algerian coast. Sainihånser (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- More like a couple dozen, but that's alright. That being said, the Balearics DO have Arabic names, both for the chain and the individual islands. Do you imagine they wouldn't have? There's an Arabic name for the United States (alwilayat almutahidat al'amrikia), despite being half a world away. Ravenswing 06:27, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Edirnekapı
Hello.
1955 is the year when most Greek Orthodox/Greeks left Istanbul after the Istanbul Pogrom which happened that year. The source is dead, but the year is obvious. Finding a specific source about the fate of the Greek Orthodox/Greek population of Edirnekapı is proving difficult, but the entire Greek population throughout the city suffered and collapsed afterwards. Undetailed sources indicate that it was badly affected and the local Greek Orthodox Church was burned down.
Yours sincerely, 31.200.18.44 (talk) 12:55, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hallo, and thanks for writing! you are new to wikipedia, so I will explain you the main reason why I reverted you: this sentence is sourced, and you cannot change the meaning of a sourced sentence keeping the source in place. Personally, I know the history of the Istanbul Pogroms and I can believe that the Greeks escaped mainly to Greece, rather that to Nisantasi or Moda. But to have to reference this information. I will copy now this thread where it belongs to, that is on the discussion page of the article. Alex2006 (talk) 13:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I reverted your edits on Casatiello. The correct spelling is "casatiello", in the Italian language graphic accent only goes on the last letter. Treccani just wanted to show the tonic accent, and moreover it is not a source for Neapolitan language. Thanks, Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 05:48, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

You might be interested
Hi Alessandro, long time no speak. Thought you might be interested in this.[1] As far as I can see, the editorial pattern mimicks the usual "fight for a European Caucasus" narrative. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Pinging my old friend Chipmunkdavis who's also well aware of such recurrent POVs on Wikipedia. I don't think said account is a sock, but given their determination to change the overal "consensus" on Wikipedia (i.e. changing content on several related pages on the same day), this might be something to keep an eye on. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @Louis, I'm OK, thanks, compatibly with the situation (war and Covid, which here in Switzerland rages again among general indifference). Coming to the article, the problem is that all these users play on the ambiguity between physical geographic definition and geopolitical definition. I have to say that the article in question is not very clear: when it reads "Geopolitical data for Asia", "Asia" must obviously be meant in the sense of physical geography, and maybe it should be specified. Otherwise, as it has happened, someone can pretend (rightly, since this is described in the paragraph) that the three countries in question belong geopolitically to Europe, and then remove them from the list. :-( Maybe we should change the title of the paragraph in "Geopolitical data for countries geographically located in Asia". However now the article is on my watchlist. Bye, Alex2006 (talk) 06:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Administratime term
Alessandro57 reverted my correction of a mistranslation in the article about Corsica. I had replaced the meaningless expression "territorial collectivity" with the meaningful term "region". Alessandro reverted my correction claiming that it is an "administratime term", whatever that means. "Collectivity" means 1. The quality or condition of being collective. 2. The people considered as a body or whole. So "territorial collectivity" must mean "territorial quality or condition of being collective" or else "territorial people considered as a body". Neither expression makes any sense, even if we admit that it is an "administratime term", since it isn't an "administratime term" in the English language. Banderswipe (talk) 02:00, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hallo Banderswipe, and thanks for writing. You can read here that the term is not meaningless, and that cannot be translated with region. Actually here at wikipedia it is quite normal to translate administrative terms from foreign languages into English. To comfort you I can tell you that "collettività territoriale" does not make much sense even in Italian (my mother tongue), yet it has been translated so on Italian wikipedia. Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 05:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
President of South Tyrol
Hello Alessandro, thank you for letting me know about my edit to South Tyrol, I was not aware. Do you think that other instances of Governor should be changed to President . Furthermore, should the article List of governors of South Tyrol be renamed as the Italian equivalent does indeed favour Presidente. I would be interested to hear your opinion before make by any such changes. Many thanks, Vesuvio14 (talk) 13:31, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
