From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I chose to compare the English and Italian wikipedia pages for the Ferrari car company. The two pages are fairly similar in basic facts, such as who founded the company and when, where it is based and key people within the company. An interesting distinction in the facts was that on the English page under products of the company it is simply listed as supercars and on the Italian page it lists the different Ferrari models. Also, the Italian page listed slightly higher numbers in revenue of the company and number of employees compared to the English page. The racing history of Ferrari on both pages was fairly similar, both listing the names of famous drivers and the years in which World Drivers Championship titles were won. One section that existed on the Italian page and not on the English page was the history of the prancing horse icon. There was also a great deal more information on road vehicles listed on the Italian page versus the English page. On the English page, there was a heading that discussed corporate affairs involving partnerships and sales history that was not present on the Italian page.

I chose to compare Ferrari on the Italian page because Ferrari is an Italian based company and I figured there would be more information on the subject on that page. In regards to the different models and descriptions of the models, the Italian page definitely covered the topic in more depth, which I expected. --Ryenocerous (talk) 14:46, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
