Talk:Bolzano

message: After spending some time revising historic inaccuracies that were published without citing reliable sources and feeding mostly on common Italian historic rendition, I also realize that the article is a rough, approximate, and poor translation from Italian. Italian expressions are translated verbatim and as a result the English page reads awkward and unconvincing. Although I`ve edited several paragraphs that had been written and published with numerous English language issues, I believe that the article still needs major revisions, both with regard to contents and to English terminology and grammar.
:Hello, I've reverted your edits as, unfortunately, they contained errors and were undiscussed. You talked about a war between Austria and Italy in 2015. No doubt a typo, but indicative of the changes. More seriously, you changed some statements that came from sources, which is not allowed. I agree with you about the need to improve the article, but please do so through careful editing and by discussing with other editors. Jeppiz (talk) 15:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your comment, but I encourage you to comment on content, not on other editors. Please read WP:NPA. Wikipedia is not about being right, it's about accurately representing reliable sources. Apart from the personal attacks on me, your reply largely consists of arguments that you're right and the sources wrong, therefore you can change what the sources say. That is absolutely forbidden, and a form of vandalism. If a source is wrong, and can be proven to be wrong by using better sources, then we can always remove a source. However, changing the text while keeping the same sources is to misrepresent them, and that is definitely not allowed. Once again, I encourage you to engage constructively and impassionately by discussing with other users. As a general rule, if somebody undoes your changes, you should first discuss and reach a WP:CONSENSUS before reinstating the changes (WP:BRD). Last but not least, you don't have the option not to engage with other users on Wikipedia. It's a collective project, and nobody is above discussing with others.

thread_title:  English page: BOLZANO 

message: I came across very different statistics on another wiki page. I decided to check out the references and it seems that the person that put in the statistics in this article must have inadvertently switched German and Italian as both given sources show German as the majority language. ("New") numbers taken from the same sources as given earlier. Engman90 (talk) 09:06, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you post a link to any reliable source that says German is the majority language in the city of Bolzano? Please note we're taking about the city of Bolzano here, not the province of the same name. Jeppiz (talk) 13:34, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified II 

message: Reading this page left me with a lot of questions of what is meant by "German". Does it refer to as simply being a native speaker of German (Germanophone)? Does it imply cultural affinity with northern German states, and not Austria? Does it imply a cultural geographic continuum between Austria? I think every usage of "German' referring to a person should be replaced with either Germanophone or Austrian or at least be clarified. 38.32.32.42 (talk) 22:05, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  German vs Austrian vs Germanophone 

message: After reading this article I came up with some questions and comments.
1. "in Pauzana valle, quae lingua Teutisca Pozana nuncupatur".
I'm not well versed in Latin and I doubt many readers are as well. What's the translation?
2. "In 1277 Bolzano was conquered by Meinhard II, the Count of Tyrol, leading to a struggle between the counts of Tyrol and the bishops of Trent."
This sentence is weird. It talks about a conquest followed by a struggle. Can somebody rephrase it properly since the struggle typically comes before the conquest?
3. I do not agree with the title "Capital of an autonomous province". The section primarily talks about the province so it should be changed to "Autonomous province" for consistency with the text.
4. "This table shows the mayors of the city of Bolzano after 1945". There is no table next to it.
5. "Additionally, Reinhold Messner's experiences, collections and memories of the expeditions will be exhibited". It sounds like this may need to be updated.
6. Bolzano Festival Bozen? Not a clever name for an event (it does not even say what it's about).
7. "The Bolzano Christmas Market was founded in 1990 as Italy's first Christmas market" and "With over 1.2 million visitors (2005), the Bolzano Christmas Market is the most visited in Italy". I would like to see a source for both statements to prove the facts.
