I feel that these tables would benefit the articles. Such tables already exist on the Argentina national team page, and have since been added to the other teams that have played in the cup. I feel that this would be a useful table to have on the page, particularly seeing as it has been announced that the cup| competition will take place until at least 2028. Please let me know what you think. Vesuvio14 (talk) 20:11, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue is that, realistically, Italy won't compete every edition (even assuming once every 4 editions would be optimistic). I don't see the value in adding a table for a competition in which only two out of 65 members may compete. Nehme1499 20:41, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I get that, and it is certainly likely that they may not be in another addition for some time. However, as User:Island92 stated in their most recent edit description, this is an international competition which might suggest it should be featured here as it is also featured in the infobox. Vesuvio14 (talk) 21:50, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think adding a table with "other tournaments" may be a good compromise, as is done here for example. Nehme1499 21:52, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That is what I was about to suggest too! :) A similar table exists on France’s page which is where the cup was before I moved it. Perhaps this would be the best option as per your points above. Would you know of anything else which might go in such a table? Vesuvio14 (talk) 21:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: 1976 U.S.A. Bicentennial Cup Tournament, 1980 World Champions' Gold Cup, 1985 Ciudad de México Cup Tournament, 1991 Scania 100 Tournament, 1992 U.S. Cup, 1995 Swiss Football Federation Centenary Tournament (RSSSF link), 1997 Tournoi de France. These should be all the "unofficial" tournaments Italy took place in (at least, according to the FIGC's official fixture list). Nehme1499 22:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Brilliant, thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can add this at some point today. Vesuvio14 (talk) 06:16, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi, , just wanted to ask you about your recent edits regarding defunct tournaments. I believe the tournaments section is simply for any tournaments, regardless of whether or not they are still played. I do not think that an entire section need be devoted to defunct tournaments, but perhaps a simple note could be placed by the tables for each example of on. You say that I have deviated for the standard, but I do not find any other examples of such a section on other international teams' articles. They simply list defunct tournaments (such as the Confederations Cup) with the rest of their tournaments. For example, see France, Brazil and New Zealand. Vesuvio14 (talk) 17:50, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: ah ok, although it is a bit confusing in my humble opinion. Germany in 2016 won silver with their Under 23s, that's why I was confused. Anyway, also the silver gained losing the final this summer with Argentina should be added to the Medal record? 137.222.66.176 (talk) 13:17, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

message: We know that the new logo has already been leaked, and it will be unveiled very soon. Like many new logos, there are many versions of it. But I already beg you to put in this page the blue logo with the white name "Italia" and without the white border.

text: There will be two versions of the blue logo with the white name "Italia": one with the white border, and one without the white border. Obviously here it will be better to use the one without. I'm sayin' it again just to be clear 😅👍🏻 Roby Markz (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Not sure it’s accurate to say that players have recently been called up when they have 40+ caps. ‘Recalled’ to the squad maybe. Andyeff (talk) 19:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recently called up 

message: Immobile is not the permanent captain of the national team so far, he wore the captain's armband only ONE time as the official captain, then he has not been called up anymore. 85.165.41.105 (talk) 11:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You keep saying that, but it isn't true. He is captain until the next Euros, as per the source cited. The article says nothing about "long-term" captains or whatever definition you're trying to use, it's simply who has been the captain at any particular time. Right now it's Immobile.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:44, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "List of captaincy periods of the various captains throughout the years" which has nothing to do with "permanent" as explained in your talk page and in the box citing Immobile captain and respective source.--Island92 (talk) 14:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Adding "permanent and stable" for that prose displayed is simply redundant. You are making the point such bold citing "permanent" as if it was the main priority for the point itself. Island92 (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "revert to previous standard information — only permanent and stable captains here" Which standard do you mean exactly? This is only the top National team that features that useless prose above the list of captains. Island92 (talk) 18:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Long-term ok, but adding "permanent and stable" is not the case. Long-term already means that.--Island92 (talk) 17:19, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Immobile is a permanent captain, that said by Spalletti. If until Euro 2024, he is permanent at all costs, no matter how many caps he will make in this period. That's why that prose is redundant in any case. Island92 (talk) 09:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

text: He's no longer, he's no longer, he's no longer. Who knows that? It's not taken into account how many times he worn the captain's armband. He's the current captain until Euro 2024. This is the only reliable information we have because supported by source.--Island92 (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
