message: I modified this:
: The platform's Council of Government sent a telegram(to whom?) to protest the "violation of its sovereignty and the injury inflicted on local tourism by the military occupation", but this was ignored.
removing the "to whom?". It's a good question though. Who got the telegram? I would assume the Italian government.

replies: text: Image:Flag Rose Island.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

text: Yes. Because the flag in Lonely Planet was created by me a number of years ago based on a written description, without the benefit of photographic evidence. The latter only came to light after the publication of the LP guide. The Rose Island flag is more acurately described as a pennant. --Gene_poole (talk) 18:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. That means that the flag caption will have to be changed to pennant. --Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 18:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The flag currently shown in this article is incorrect. It was created by me based on a written description. I have subsequently sighted a photograph of the actual flag in an article on this subject published in the journal of the Cinderella Stamp Club (UK), which shows it to be a triangular pennant, not a rectangular flag. I previously uploaded an updated image of the correct design, but it seems to have vanished. Does anyone know why? --Gene_poole (talk) 08:37, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The article only mentioned that the Italian reaction was heavy-handed and swift, are there any dates available to show when the Italians take over the island, and when they destroyed it? -- deadkid_dk 23:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Quote: Purported currency: Mill (Esperanto: "milo" ...)
Esperanto milo is a group of a thousand. A mill (currency) is 0.001 of a basic unit; in Esperanto that would be milono. Most likely milo here refers to spesmilo, and I'll change it accordingly. —Tamfang (talk) 19:36, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And it has been changed back.  Even if President Rosa ever called it mill in English, it shares only that name with other units called mill. —Tamfang (talk) 17:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Some phrases now removed seemed to say that the nearest coastline belonged in 1968 to Forlì province but now belongs to Rimini province.  Is that what was intended? —Tamfang (talk) 08:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I added "the" in this phrase: "built by the Italian engineer Giorgio Rosa" with the edit summary false title. That article describes the history of omitting "the" in constructions like this and characterizes it as typical of journalistic, especially tabloid style. Revirvlkodlaku reverted. I don't think encyclopedias should sound like Time magazine or the New York Post. --Macrakis (talk) 16:17, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , thank you for pointing this out. I will review the construction soon. I've always thought it was correct, but perhaps I have been mistaken. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:31, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Macrakis, I cordially concur with your view. False titles are established in AmE (despite the wise advice against them of the New York Times style guide) and have been encroaching into the Queen's English for some time. It's probably a losing battle, but still worth fighting, to keep false titles out of formal BrE prose. Tim riley talk 16:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

message: The film mentions that the Navy ship in the climactic scene is Andrea Doria. I tried to google whether that was in real life or was the ship that was used in the filming.  The ship in the scene looks like it might be.  It would be nifty fact if we could confirm it. I had little luck in finding it though. Americasroof (talk) 02:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
