message: I added a "citation needed" template for the statement that Torricelli tried several times to disprove his finding that the infinite/finite area/volume finding.  Can anyone provide a citation for this (a book of his notes, letters to other mathematicians/philosophers of the time..).  Mostly because I would like to know more about it.

message: Hey! (reposting here)
Firstly, congratulations on exceeding your 5000 byte quota! Haha. I estimated around 5300 bytes worth of upgrades.
Secondly, the Torricelli wikipage looks really good! Well done. I think it was a great idea to include more pictures, especially the one of the famous Torricelli experiment as it helps the reader visualize what took place. I also like the organization of the page and how his contributions to physics are subcategorized appropriately. You might consider expanding Torricelli's law and its impact on science. I don't have any critiques other than cleaning up the overall writing. Continue your editing and add as much detail as you can!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhareemy (talk • contribs) 07:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

message: In section "Biography; early life" of the text, Evangelista Torricelli is said to be the firstborn child of Gaspare Ruberti and Giacoma (or Jacoba) Torricelli. In the subsequent section "Career", it is said his mother's name was Caterina Angetti. 
There is something not clear.
And why was he given his mother's surname, a fact rather uncommon among poor people at that times ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekisbares (talk • contribs) 18:52, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I tried making these changes, but they were reverted— the “r” sounds are a mess in the first sentence of the article. English doesn’t use /r/ (except for some Irish and Scottish dialects), but rather /ɹ/. Italian does have the /r/ phoneme, but IPA doesn’t use duplicate symbols (currently the Italian has “/rr/“). So, replace the /r/s in the English pronunciation, and eliminate the duplicate in the Italian. It looks like they were copied directly from the citations 2 and 3, without accounting for the fact those sources don’t use IPA. Insofarasto (talk) 09:41, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
