Talk:Ferragosto

message: From what I know and also referring to the Italian version of Ferragosto, Ferragost meaning is "August Vacation" and it was a festivity of the end of major agricolture works...
It's just on the same day when the Blessed Virgin Mary was bodily assumed in to Heaven.
Today it's just a day where 90% of the Italian take a short vacation to the sea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by  Zaguru  (talk • contribs)  17:51, 14 August 2007 
:I agree, it isn't correct to say that this festivity is chatolich and related to Blessed Virgin Mary. It was at first a vacation for workers, as the italian article says. This page is at most wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by  83.190.77.33  (talk • contribs)  23:29, 15 August 2007 
::I think the page adequately highlights the (pagan/agricultural) origins of the festival and how it was absorbed into Catholic tradition, but please improve as you see fit. Donama (talk) 01:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also inaccurate to describe it as a "short vacation where Italians go on brief holidays".  So many Italians take such long ferragosto vacations (generally about three weeks) away from home that even the vast majority of business are closed during August.  It's such a big long vacation that the country practically shuts down to 'essential services only'.

message: Certain historians and researchers suggest that the Spanish were the first Europeans to sight and make contact with the Hawaiian islands. The most frequently cited claim is that of Juan Gaetano's discovery of the islands in 1555, as shown in his report. 
 As early as 1527 allegations of Spanish shipwrecks in Hawaii have also been made, many point to Hawaiian folktales that speak of stranded voyagers as proof of this theory. Cnelso33 (talk) 19:08, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Some may not be shocked by the use of one-sided propaganda to represent a war, but others certainly will be, especially when it is the propaganda of the side of the aggressor in a war of aggression. Further, our policy of due WP:BALANCE refers to textual sources, but I would argue that it should be seen to apply here as well, since including only this image or highlighting only it in the lead tends to implicitly favor the POV of the Italian side of the conflict.

For a bit of context, I removed this as part of a mopping up operation after catching another sockpuppet of banned user Brunodam, the LTA who made this article and first added the image, and who remains highly active on all articles having to do with Italian colonization in Africa. Technically I can't remove the image simply on the basis of WP:BLOCKEVASION because it predates the ban, but to my nose it reeks of that user's nationalistic POV-pushing.

I recommend it to anyone interested in this unique phonetic phenomenon, mostly to those Italians like myself who used to believe in an Etruscan heritage of the gorgia.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: In the end of the article the following phrase appears:
* Occasional words in Romanian seem to exhibit the gorgia. For example, the word for "map" is hartă.
I would like to point out that hartă is a borrowing from modern Greek, where it also begins with h, so this example is irrelevant. In ancient Greek, the word began with ch (aspirated [k]), which was borrowed as charta in Latin. In Vulgar Latin the aspirated consonants were usually not pronounced as such, and from charta we have Spanish carta (letter) and Romanian carte (book). I know no example of a word in Romanian that exhibits this phenomenon, so I would rather delete the reference to Romanian.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumiac (talk • contribs) 22:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
