Richiesta per pagina italiana per Jeff Ekhator
[edit]Buon pomeriggio, Oltrepier!
Sono Matteo, il proprietario di questa pagina user talk,
A quanto puoi vedere, non sono molto bravo a creare pagine su wikipedia e volevo richiedere se potessi creare una pagina italiana su Jeff Ekhator
Ovviamente, Io faro' del mio meglio a editarlo professionalmente senza essere troppo "promuovibile"
Grazie ancora per il tuo aiuto.
Cordiali Saluti,
Matteo. SferaEbbasta87 (talk) 15:41, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- @SferaEbbasta87 Ciao! Non preoccuparti, tutti abbiamo avuto delle difficoltà all'inizio, e io ho qualche impaccio ancora adesso... : D
- Per la pagina che hai creato qui, ci penso io a sistemare ed aggiungere altre informazioni. Quanto alla voce su it.wiki, io la creerei volentieri, ma devi considerare che lì abbiamo dei criteri di enciclopedicità più specifici e stringenti sui calciatori: per soddisfare i criteri minimi, Ekhator dovrebbe collezionare almeno cinque presenze in Serie A, e per ora ne ha soltanto una.
- Se vuoi, però, puoi iniziare a lavorarci tu, sfruttando la tua sandbox personale! A questo indirizzo trovi un modello di voce biografica su calciatori in italiano. Ovviamente, visto che sono attivo anche su it.wiki, potrai contare su di me per qualsiasi problema! : )
- A presto! Oltrepier (talk) 17:26, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

For putting so much work into 2023–2024 mpox epidemic; it hasn't gone unnoticed. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 17:03, 23 August 2024 (UTC) |
- @TheTechnician27 Thank you very much, I genuinely appreciate it!
- Actually, I'd like to contribute to medicine-related articles even more than I've done lately, but I guess this is a good place to start! : D Oltrepier (talk) 17:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

BoT Elections?
[edit]Hi, when adding to the signpost yesterday, I noticed the BoT elections (starting tomorrow) are not in the news and notes. I am kinda new to the Signpost editing, so wasn't sure where to look if the topic was already covered elsewhere. Ciell (talk) 09:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell Hello! Yes, we already wrote about it on the July 4 issue; in fact, there was also a whole Op-Ed about it.
- By the way, thank you for helping out with the up-coming issue! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 12:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, great!
- I understood after the additions I did, that I need to declare possible COI, and am involved in both topics. If you would decide to rewrite (as your colleague already partially did), or discard the additions because of this I would understand! Just wasn't aware of this rule before I added the topics. Ciell (talk) 12:58, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell To be fair, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but I would suggest you to leave a note at the Newsroom's talk page, just to make sure! Oltrepier (talk) 13:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Infobox image on Italian Wikipedia
[edit]Hello! I have a question to you who also an editor on Italian Wikipedia: Does it have different rules of MOS:LEADIMAGE than English Wikipedia? I just looked through articles of former Serie A football players on itwiki and saw some sorts of problems with infobox image. For example, Daniele Adani article somehow depicts him as a young adult whereas he is 50 years old. The exact same case can be seen here. Unless the person is deceased, I do not think readers certainly would expect to see articles of living people depicted as their past self. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚。⋆ 15:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Clariniie Hello! Sorry for the late reply...
- As far as I'm aware, there's no real difference between en.wiki and it.wiki on this matter. I just guess that nobody has been able to take a more recent picture of them, yet. I did notice, though, that the images you referred to can only be used on the Italian Wikipedia, at least for now: they only comply with our national copyright law, but they're not considered of public domain in the rest of the world, so they're basically locked out of the Commons database. Still, nothing stops football fans to take on a mission to add some new photos of their own! : )
- Anyway, thank you for reporting this! Oltrepier (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
