Hi, I notice all of your edits are marked "'''m'''" for minor. [[WP:MINOR]] says minor edits should be used only for ''uncontroversial'' edits that do not change the meaning in any way. However, many of your edits are adding new text or otherwise changing the meaning, e.g. {{diff|Cave,_Italy|prev|318064329|this one}} is not a minor edit because it adds new text and removes existing text from the article.

{{diff|Themis_%28solar_power_plant%29|prev|317061129|This edit}} moved the text in the first bullet point into the first paragraph: "the weather is perfect for solar energy (Cerdanya has almost 2400 hours of sunshine a year)". Your version is confusing because it could be taken as implying that amount of sunshine is the ''only'' reason the weather is considered perfect for solar energy. However, there are actually two reasons—amount of sunshine ''and'' low wind. The original wording was better because it makes this clear by using separate bullet point for each reason. Your edit was not a minor edit because it changed the meaning.

Catania (Culture)

Dear countryman of mine, I can't see what's the harm in writing in whatever language in personal talk-pages. Since it seems that writing in English it's a matter of honour with you, I will bear respect and write in English here; anyway, in my personal talk-page you can reply in Italian if you like, even in Roman dialect :) You have to know that I love English very much, maybe more than my own mother-tongue, but I don't pay a blind homage to it. Anyway, concerning the removal of images of Bellini and Verga from the Cultural section of the article about Catania, I disagree with you. Bellini and Verga are more than mere mentions and corroborating the lines about them with their images is a good way to add verve and texture to the section. Moreover, the images were tiny ones, and they didn't spoil the article making it an unreadable bunch of images as you stated. On the contrary, I find it that the Culture section is now grey and opaque, lifeless... Drunkpiper (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Attilio, and thanks for your kind reply. I will continue to write in English here. Concerning those photos, personally I think they should have to be restored... we could try to reinsert them paying attention to the general layout of the page, so that it won't turn out in a schifezza :):):) What do you think? Tell me if it's ok with you. BTW, I'm Davide, nice to meet you :) Drunkpiper (talk) 17:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Immagini di G. Torre

Ciao Attilios, mi ha scritto l'utente G. Torre per via di alcune immagini che sono arrivate su commons passando da qua, e sembrerebbe che le hai caricate tu qua, cambiando la licenza. Non ho accesso alla cronologia su en.wiki per verificare che abbia ragione, nel dubbio ho nominato le immagini per la cancellazione su commons. Ciao e grazie. --Cruccone (talk) 21:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedrals and Cathedrals of England

Trust me, many of your recent edits have been very poor, inappropriate, and a nuisance, because they will have to be sorted,and reverted one by one.

  • Cobh Cathedral, which can be seen for 100 miles, is a landmark. It's architectural importance is irrelevant, in that article. As it happens, Cobh is one of the most significant cathedrals of the best-known British Gothic revival architect, Pugin. While Gothic Revival means very little to an Italian, it is significant across Northern Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australasia. However, I found another place for Nidaros, to keep you happy.
  • I also returned the section on England, expanded in some part and reduced in others. Once again, the history of Protestant cathedrals is relevant to a great many people. This is the part I expanded, with reference to other countries.
  • About the Architecture of English Cathedrals: it is normal in English, when talking about buildings or institutes of the same kind to abrieviate them to a place name. For example, if one said that the University of Leeds was playing cricket against the University of Manchester, having used their full name once, one would then call them Leeds and Manchester. Likewise, if I was talking about two paintings located in the National Gallery, London, and the National Gallery, Washington, further reference to the locations would simply be "London" and "Washington". So if the whole article is about cathedrals, and each subheading gives a building its full designation, after that, it can simply be referred to by its place name. This is normal English usage. I'm not going to change it back. Too much trouble. But I am telling you, for future reference.
  • You persistently inserted an error of expression. It is normal to refer to a particular feature as being "at" a site. One talks about the "Angel Choir" at Lincoln, not the "Angel Choir" in the Lincoln Cathedral. That is the way it is written in English. Many of these feature cannot be said to be "in" the building because they make up part of the structure itself. Do you really imagine that someone like me would get a point of English expression like that wrong?
  • The word "splendid" (used of the early English facade of Wells) had three references after it. To leave out an adjective is a bit like writing "Florence Cathedral has a dome" or "Orvieto Cathedral has a Gothic facade". Neither of these sentences express the importance and the spectacular quality of the dome of Florence and the facade of Orvieto.
Likewise Wells cathedral does not simply have an Early English facade. It has the finest Early English facade in England.
  • "Postcard". It's not necessary to write "in a postcard". It is normal to just write "oil painting", "fresco", "etching" or whatever, and the date.
You are a naughty boy!

I hope that you are well and that your life is sorting itself out.

Ciao! Amandajm (talk) 08:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Re use of place names, within the context of the article, it's clear what is meant.
  • Re English cathedrals- the history of cathedrals in England has been rather different to that of all the other European countries. The fact that bishops were nomadic was, as far as I know, unique to the British situation. The very samll number of (mostly) very large cathedrals was also highly unusual. Also, the conversion from Catholicism to protestantism was total. That didn't happen anywhere else. For this reason, Britain needs to be dealt with as an exception.
I expanded the next section, as you will see. Someone with a better knowledge of Lutheran and other protestant traditions might expand it more.

Amandajm (talk) 08:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What I would rely like to see is an expansion of the history of cathedrals in Italy and other European countries. The stuff on England is all that I left behind after removing a very lengthy section. That'ss what is now located at the other page.
But if you want to chop it- just leave the direction to the Main article somewhere, either in the text, or in the "See also" section. Amandajm (talk) 09:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. We are eating Italian tonight, chicken in sauce of tomatoes, peppers, field mushrooms, garlic and basilico, with black olives (They are Greek, not Italian). And pasta. Amandajm (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been busy! Thank you for your advice! I prefer the pasta al dente. However my son is on a gluten-free diet, so our pasta is never very nice, it is either chewy, gluey or soggy. The chicken was delicious. Amandajm (talk) 21:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Acerno

HI, I've just expanded Acerno. Howver, Iam not fluent in Italian, could you proof read it and check it with this and add any missing info/correct it. Shouldn't take you 5 mins, I have nominated it for a DYK BTW. Himalayan 19:00, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it needs to be briefly mentioned and linked anyway even if not in detail it is still relevant.. Yes there ought to be a big drive on italian comunes by far more people to get them up to a start class level. Unfortunately few have them have been edited since 2006. I'll try in due course to get the comunes of Salerno up to a similar sort of level anyway... Thanks for your help, I'd appreciate any proof readin in my future expanded articles. Himalayan 10:45, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you translate the remainder of Albanella. Some of it didn't translate that well there is the history and a sentence of two in the churches section. Himalayan 15:54, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks it would be good to work with you gradually on these comunes. I am willing to do as much as I can and translate what I understand amakes sense. Could you translate the info given on these two pages for Alfano and check the info about the wine, I'm not sure I got the names right as they seme to refer to places..... Let's make it better than the Italian wiki article! If there is enough info we could create some DYKs on some of the Italian comunes, get them on the front page, time permitting of course, as like you I work on ma ny many different subjects and areas.

"Minor" edits that are not minor edits

Hi, I notice all of your edits are marked "m" for minor. WP:MINOR says minor edits should be used only for uncontroversial edits that do not change the meaning in any way. However, many of your edits are adding new text or otherwise changing the meaning, e.g. this one is not a minor edit because it adds new text and removes existing text from the article.

This edit moved the text in the first bullet point into the first paragraph: "the weather is perfect for solar energy (Cerdanya has almost 2400 hours of sunshine a year)". Your version is confusing because it could be taken as implying that amount of sunshine is the only reason the weather is considered perfect for solar energy. However, there are actually two reasons—amount of sunshine and low wind. The original wording was better because it makes this clear by using a separate bullet point for each reason.
