Talk:Comune

message: There seems to be some confusion as to whether "commune" is a legitimate translation of comune. The OED is a little vague; it only mentions "commune" as specifically a French thing, but has a catchall definition that includes almost any kind of communal association, typically referring in the modern day to hippies sharing a house. :-) It would be the most careful of us just to use comune/comuni everywhere.

thread_title:  Comune / Commune 

message: There seems to be a mistake in here, and the linked page on the term municipio.  "Municipio" is the equivalent of the city/town hall, the seat of the comune government.  The political subdivisions are called "municipalità".  Perhaps the confusion is due to a collision with the different usage in Spanish?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.25.15.142 (talk) 02:50, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Municipio vs. municipalità 

message: "As of February 2017 there were 7,982 comuni in Italy; they vary considerably in area and population. For example, the comune of Rome (Lazio) has an area of 1,307.71 km² and a population of 2,761,477, and is both the largest and the most populated comune in Italy."
No.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazio describes Lazio as an administrative region.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comuni_of_Italy does not list Lazio as a comune.  These are pages directly linked in this article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_communes_of_the_Metropolitan_City_of_Capital_Rome lists 121 comuni in the province of Rome, in the region of Lazio.

replies: text: , Lazio is a regione. Rome is a comune in that region (also the capital of it and of the whole country). The comune of Rome is the largest in the country, as our article says. Is it the parentheses round "Lazio" that are causing confusion? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:06, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Comune →  – This article is only about the municipalities of Italy. Not about medieval entities, or entities in other current countries. It is practice in Wikipedia to include the country name in the article title for per country administrative division set articles. Make place for a general article about "comune".

replies: text:  You moved (for example) List of communes of Calabria to List of municipalities of Calabria, but we have :Category:Communes of the Province of Cosenza and the main page is "comune", or "Comune (Italy)"... --151 cp (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's not really for this discussion, but the categories should also be moved. The double "m" is very wrong—"municipality" or "comune" is the question. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 00:33, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The proposal is to move "Comune" to "Comune (Italy)", not to "Municipalities of Italy". So: 1) "List of communes of Calabria" could be moved to "List of comunes of Calabria" (and not to "List of municipalities of Calabria"), or  2) "Comune" has to be moved to "Municipalities of Italy". But we can't have, at the same time, List of municipalities of Calabria and "Comune", or "Comune (Italy)". --151 cp (talk) 15:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok... so open that discussion—the way it was, it was wrong either way, so no one's stopping you from moving it to "comune" or otherwise. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that "List of communes of Calabria" had to be moved to "List of municipalities of Calabria", but I think that "Comune" should be moved to "Municipalities of Italy": it. comune = en. municipality, I don't know the reasons why we should use the italian name (see de. Gemeinde, Municipalities of Germany). --151 cp (talk) 15:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  see further above, user:Vaselineeeeeeee and user:TerraCyprus supported the move to Municipalities of Italy, two users opposed, but didn't show ANY evidence for why "Comune" should be kept. When their talk contributions were questioned they didn't reply. Then user:Buidhe closed as no consensus, and user:TerraCyprus seems to have interpreted that close as being based only on vote count. user:Buidhe said no, but didn't show evidence that s/he didn't just vote count. So the situation for this article remains to be very messy. Comune (Italy) at least has the benefit to clarify the page is about the entities of Italy. 77.183.163.91 (talk) 22:10, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Italian medieval communes don't correspond to administrative units named "municipalities": they were, de facto, city-states, rather than basic constituent entities. However, the term "comune", as modern subdivision, is generally translated: The Statesman's Year-Book, the main producer of official statistics in Italy, ISTAT and the official website of the European Union use "municipality". In other words, "comune" is not a specific terminology to indicate this type of administrative subdivisions: comunes, and all similar terms, etymologically cognates (f.e., "kommune": municipalities of Denmark), correspond to those administrative units named "municipalities". --151 cp (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
