Article too big

I see tag removed again. We will be by this page in a few weeks. Moxy- 22:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At 140kB, the entire page is grossly overlength. Splits need considering. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also consider the length (definitely excessive, given the subject matter) of the United States page. JackkBrown (talk) 00:19, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JackkBrown, the readable prose size of that article is less than half of this one. (But either way, if you'd like to propose changes to that article, it should be discussed at that article's talk page). Nikkimaria (talk) 04:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Good article" template

This page is really very well done and complete (perhaps some small details are missing). I propose the addition of the "Good article" template. JackkBrown (talk) 00:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest having a look at the instructions for nominating. At this point this article needs improvement to meet the criteria, but it's a good goal in the longer term. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add Roman Empire in ,,Formation"

hello The Roman Empire should still be under formation. In the Wikipedia page from Algeria https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria it says "Roman Empire" under formation... then it should definitely be in Italy. Or what do you think? Izmir18 (talk) 04:20, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It ought to be removed from Algeria. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And add in the italy formation? Izmir18 (talk) 04:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, just removed. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:05, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okey. :) Izmir18 (talk) 05:36, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many wikilinks were removed without motivating the changes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1195144873, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1195160919 (by User:Lindsey40186); https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1195243587 (by User:Duckmather). I'm afraid they were removed randomly. JackkBrown (talk) 00:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summaries cited MOS:OVERLINK - that would be the motivation for the changes. Are there specific links that are concerning you? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria: no, but wikilinks should be removed judiciously, reasoning very well about which ones to keep and which ones not, and not removing them at random just to comply with the MOS. Maybe these two users have reasoned very well, but I'm not at all sure. JackkBrown (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown mine were not randomly. Most of my removals were multiple of the same link. Milan, Rome, Italian diaspora, Catholic Church, and Venice (to name just a few) we're all linked multiple times, sometimes within the same paragraph. MOS:OVERLINK suggests that this is generally not appropriate, save for a (very) few instances.
The genesis of cleaning up the overlooking, for me at least, was a request in WP:GOCE and a confirmation at the top of the article. Lindsey40186 (talk) 01:20, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lindsey40186: waiting for the other user's response, thank you for your contribution. JackkBrown (talk) 09:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown: I personally mostly removed links to very common words (eg "Europe"), since I figured people wouldn't really need them anyways. Duckmather (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Official languages

Hi, I'm here to indicate a misiniformation in the first note of the infobox, saying: " German is co-official in South Tyrol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia; French is co-official in the Aosta Valley; Slovene is co-official in the province of Trieste, the province of Gorizia, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia; Ladin is co-official in South Tyrol, in Trentino and in other northern areas; Friulian is co-official in Friuli-Venezia Giulia; Sardinian is co-official in Sardinia." However, these are not official languages: they're just protected at a local level. Memnone di Rodi (talk) 08:32, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lowercase

In this article it would be excellent to check "north Italy", "northern Italy", "south Italy", "southern Italy" and "central Italy", the first word must be written with a lowercase initial letter (as it's written here); I have already corrected many of them.

Copy editing with good intentions

@User:Denisarona, Please donot revert the edits. The edits are being done with good objectives for improvement. Thankyou Learnerktm (talk) 14:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edits sufficiently may not significantly improve, but the minor grammatical errors have been edited with best of the knowledge. Learnerktm (talk) 14:43, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Learnerktm. I understand what you are saying, but the article states that British English is to be used and some of your changes removed British English. Regards Denisarona (talk) 14:44, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will remember that. I will change text into British English wherever I see, thankyou. Learnerktm (talk) 14:57, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
