Copyediting Queries

[edit]
  • The Collaborations section was difficult to read because of the large number of collaborators. I moved them all into the infobox, where they are presented in an alphabetized vertical list. Is this okay?
  • In the original text, the Biography section said that the subject had worked with “Gruppo Armando Testa”. The Collaborations section (deleted and moved to the infobox) mentioned only “Armando Testa”. Both of these references had a wikilink applied to them that went to the Armando Testa article on Wikipedia. I have listed “Armando Testa” in the Collaborators section in the infobox, as this is the name that appeared in the original text (in the Collaborations section).
  • I recommend reviewing the Collaborators section (found in the infobox) and ensuring that all of the collaborators are correct. I had to delete the following during my edit as it was unclear if they were one or two separate entities: “Geo, De Agostini Editore”, “Studio Ponzano/ Art&vertising, Proxima”. I’ve also deleted this entry from the Collaborators section because it’s unclear what it signifies: “Engineering”
  • Deleted the following paragraph from the biography section because I was unable to revise it without possibly changing its meaning:

(The Roman Gallery Rosso20sette[14] contemporary art hosts in 2014 for the personal "Fuori dal quotidiano". The catalog, produced in two different editions has a preface by Vincenzo Mollica and numerous speeches including those of Gianni de Conno, Adriano Attus and Sergio Fanucci.)


  • I deleted the following from the beginning of the biography section:

He has worked with Italian and international agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis, TBWA McCann-Erickson, Young & Rubicam, J. Walter Thompson, Bates, Dentsu, Gruppo Armando Testa, Ogilvy & Mather, Baldassarre Carpi Vitelli, Studio Ponzano/ Art&vertising, Proxima, and Yes I am.

All of these collaborators are listed in the Collaborators list (in the infobox). However, a limited number of extremely important collaborators would be fine to mention, either in the lead or at the beginning of the biography.


  • There are quotation marks in use in the awards section that may or may not be intended to make words appear in italics. I have not altered these words, but they should be examined and fixed if necessary.


  • Exhibitions section reformatted to conform with Wikipedia style. I also cleaned it up, changing hyphens to em dashes and enclosing some information in parentheses. I recommend reviewing this section to make sure all of the listings are correct.


  • The exhibitions section (as well as the awards section) contains a number of entries made up almost entirely of foreign language words. These sections could be improved by having an English translation follow the entries.


  • “manifestolibri”. Spelling okay? Should it be italcized? The link goes to the “Il manifesto” article on Wikipedia.


  • Please ensure that all newspaper or magazine titles are italicized. Here are a couple that I’m not sure about: ACLU Magazine, DeltaSky Magazine. There may be others that I missed.


  • This sentence may need to be rewritten for clarity (third paragraph of biography section, second last sentence):

“In 2015 the Einaudi publishing house chose Silverini along with Noma Bar and Shout for the graphic restyling of the book collection Super ET.”


  • This sentence may need to be rewritten for clarity (it appears in the third paragraph of the biography section):

“After illustrating covers for Doris Lessing novels in 2013, Fanucci Editore asked him to illustrate covers for Philip K. Dick novels for the celebration of its 25th anniversary.”

It’s unclear what the 25th anniversary is for. Is it for Fanucci?


  • Please check that this title is written correctly:

  • Some References appear to have numbers applied to them. These may not be necessary, as Wikipedia automatically numbers the references. Reference 6 may also need to be revised so it begins with a capital letter.
