"Waste management issues"

I have moved this to the talk...

Naples has a waste management problem because the landfills are full. The garbage crisis of 2007 has led to serious health warnings but attempts to ease the problem are being hampered by the Camorra, the local mafia.^[1] The Camorra has infiltrated parts of the waste management industry in Naples, and a significant part of the budget appears to be disappearing into the pockets of the Camorra.

Since the mid-1990s, the Camorra has taken over the handling of garbage disposal in the region of Campania, with disastrous results for the environment and the health of the general population. Heavy metals, industrial waste and chemicals and household garbage are frequently mixed together, dumped near roads and burnt to avoid detection, leading to a severe soil and air pollution. Together with corrupt local officials and unscrupulous industrialists from all over Italy, the Camorra has created a cartel that has so far proved very difficult to combat for officials.

Obviously its notable but I don't think it needs an entire section on it in the article. Its recentism. Maybe it deserves its own article if somebody who knows more about that wants to. I'll make a mention of it in the "modern Naples" section. - Gennarous (talk) 12:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sitting in Berlin-Germany, right now I do watch a 2 hours documentary about this situation. It mentions all the facts of this development. Naples has now become internationally known for this ongoing crisis of European dimension. I moved back the section to the main article.

Then, as advised create an article on Naples waste management issue. Wikipedia isn't a bulletin site for recent news, its mentioned in passing in the recent history. It does not deserve an entire section of its own see WP:Recentism. Note that Wikipedia city, country, etc articles are written in regards to a historical context. - Gennarous (talk) 12:52, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it should be mentionned as it is an internationally well-known issue. On the other hand I'm not all that familiar with WP guidelines on this kind of stuff. On another note, I'm surprised that there's no mention of the mafia in this article; it seems as though it is a major issue (I assume there are more incidents than just the garbage one).

Would there be a problem with creating the Naples waste management issue article and simply copy/paste the above text? A bad article is better than no article (as far as I know) and I feel this issue should be mentionned somewhere. M.nelson (talk) 02:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Government section needed

This should be standard in a city article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.17.58 (talk) 12:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neapolitan pizza

Oregano is not an ingredient of pizza Margherita, as can be verified on the cited reference, as well as on this official document. It is, together with tomato, garlic and olive oil, an ingredient of pizza Marinara, the other traditional Neapolitan pizza.

Omertá in Wikipedia

I had to see that unfotunately, looks like some Mafia members are probably controlling this Wikipedia article as nothing is mentioned here in the incipit of the problems of the city that are enormeous. Everybody and mean really everybody knows it, so it's critical in Wikipedia to have mention of it. It's really incredible. This is deliberate continuous disinformation. And if you look in the history you will see that in the last months many people tried to say something about it and it was always systematically deleted. Wikipedia, the mafia-controlled encyclopedia? --78.54.67.192 (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
