Cassa depositi e prestiti

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cassa depositi e prestiti, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.whoswho-sutter.com/cgi-bin/wrapper/whoswho-search2?WSWWWAASWW. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Cassa depositi e prestiti

A tag has been placed on Cassa depositi e prestiti requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Toon⁰⁵ 18:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Eni Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Eni Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of XB Machine

I have nominated XB Machine, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XB Machine. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Mayalld (talk) 12:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

You're really not Perry, are you?

Some points of clarification

1. "The first center"? I presume this is the town center, but I hesitate to change it absent knowing more.
2. "the Comaschi" The town's residents? Clear to me, maybe not to everybody.
3. "notable rose window" & " notable rococo structure" Why notable?
4. "contemporary bell tower" Contemporary with what?
5. "annexed cloister" I presume it means "adjoining"...
6. "beautiful paintings dating to the 11th Century " A source for the claim? Otherwise, it's POV.
7. "landmark of modern European architecture" Who says? Otherwise, it's POV.
8. "R lines." Is this the name of the line specifically joining Lombardy & Como, or does it describe a type of rail service?

Otherwise, it's pretty good. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 12:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Glad to help. Hope it passes. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 13:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't break the redlinks. I did it to encourage people who may know about it to fill them in. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 13:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Pleasure workin' with you. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 13:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal of AfD tag

If you put a speedy tag on something, you should not remove the AfD notice! --Orange Mike | Talk 15:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Re your message on the Village Pump, try blanking your monobook.css and monobook.js (the latter at least temporarily), then purge your cache.  – ukexpat (talk) 21:03, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, did you try logging out and back in again and then purging the server cache? There was a server crash earlier today so that may have been part of the problem. – ukexpat (talk) 21:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

amreit

If that is the case it shouldn't be too hard for you to put in some reliable sources for verification in order to establish notability. --Greatestrowerever (talk) 16:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

The point is, without any references how is the reader suposed to know this is a multi-million grossing company? It doesn't mention that info in the article and there are no citations to back it up. The article is poor and to the casual reader who has never heard of it or the amex (wha?) it reads like a small company who think it would be cool to to have their own wikipedia page.

My advice to you would be to re-write the article adding reliable sources for verification and in order to establish the notability of the company in question. Consider reading Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). --Greatestrowerever (talk) 16:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

New articles

Itemirus,

   Before making a new article, check to make sure it doesn't exist already. If it does and the name is supposedly wrong, you can simply move (rename) the article or put the alternate name in the intro...instead of reducing it to a redirect.--NortyNort (talk) 16:26, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

2010 European Union banking stress test exercise

Thanks for your work at 2010 European Union banking stress test exercise. Let’s try to finish the whole table. I will start with the non-Spanish ones. Perhaps you could be invited to do the Spanish ones? Grazie! – Kaihsu (talk) 22:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

A car in Como or Cordoba. And a slightly odd question

Can you enlarge this picture on your screen, please? And can you tell me whether you recognize where I took it.

I used to think I knew very well where I had taken it, but now someone has 'corrected' the car type for me. I would rather you looked at the picture and formed an independent judgment before trying to understand my explanation. The problem is that the same shape of car was made in Turin as a Fiat and in Barcelona as a Seat. Very few Spanish cars got shipped to Italy and very few Italian cars got shipped to Spain. So if we know where the picture was taken, we get >99% confidence where I photographed the old car. (It was already maybe 15 years old when I took the picture.)

The license plate shows 'CO'. Back then, both in Italy and in Spain, you could tell where a car came from by the license plate. "CO" was Cordoba in Spain and Como in Italy. Both the car I was photographing and the Renault 14 parked next to it were from "CO".

Just to confuse the matter further, I dated the picture according to when I was in the place where I thought I had photographed it. But in the early 1980s I worked for a coach holiday company so I visited both Como and Cordoba within the "time window" of possibility.

Well .... strange request, but thank you very much if you will recognize (or, just as important, NOT recognize) the place where I took the picture. Best wishes Charles01 (talk) 18:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Occidental Petroleum

Hi Itemirus-- I noticed that you've listed yourself as a part of WikiProject Companies. I'm currently looking for feedback on draft revisions to some sections of the Occidental Petroleum article. The article talk page doesn't see very much traffic, so I've run into trouble getting feedback from other editors. If you're interested in helping out, you can find my draft at User:CBuiltother/Occidental Petroleum Controversy, and feel free to leave any comments on the talk page. Thanks! --CBuiltother (talk) 18:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Lancia identification

File:Lancia Ardea in (slightly improbably) Essex.jpg

Many thanks for your help identifying the Seat from Cordoba which I had misremembered as a Fiat in Como. I think the name on that file has now been corrected.

I have another question, hoping you are interested in cars, knowing that you know about them, and knowing that you have spent a lot more time a lot close to Turin than I live.

Please, is this car a Lancia Ardea or a Lancia Aprilia? (Or ... what...?)

There is a bit more to the question than that, which you can track via my talk page if you like. But I would prefer that you answer the question, if you can, before investigating why I ask it.

Of course, if this is going to be too time consuming or boring for you, you should ignore my question. Either way, thank you for thinking about it.

footboards (or sill)? Q. what is the correct word?

Q. what is the correct word?

A. The correct word (phrase) is running boards. Though the people who used the word routinely have mostly died of old age by now. Either that. or they own a Volkswagen Maggiolino.

Looking for Italian Wikipedians

Hi Itemirus!

I'm Maryana, a research fellow for the Wikimedia Foundation. I wanted to direct your attention to this -- a fellowship program I'm running this summer that seeks to pair graduate students working in the humanities with veteran Wikipedians from different language projects, with the goal of producing histories of non-English Wikipedia communities. We have some potential academic researchers who speak Italian, so I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'll know someone from it.wiki who can be their guide to the community's history. The researchers will most likely be in Italy this summer and would be interested in meeting Wikipedians there, so if you or someone you know sounds like a good candidate for the job, please let me know! You can email me at mpinchuk [at] wikimedia.org, or just play talk page tag :-) Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon! --Buickmackane (talk) 22:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Red Link Recovery

Hello. As a Italian-speaking WikiGnome, I'd like to solicit your help in testing a new tool. For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using the Red Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the Italian-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some Italian-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them.

If you are interested, please visit http://toolserver.org/~tb/RLRL/quick.php?lang=it. Each time you refresh the page you'll be presented with three new suggested fixes. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the tools talk page. - TB (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
