Talk:Fumetti

message: Fumetti (or photo novels) are a genre of American comics illustrated with photographs rather than drawings.
:As much as I presume the term is an Italian word adopted by the American market, the scope of this article does seem limited. It's not as if other countries haven't produced photo-strips. The U.K., for example, had various comics during the the 1970s/1980s that were either self-contained photo-novels or anthology titles that had both drawn and photo-strips. 78.149.156.202 (talk) 09:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why American?

message: The name fumetti is confusing because in the Italian language, fumetti refers to all comics; fumetti literally means "little clouds of smoke" in reference to speech balloons. Italians refer to photo-illustrated comics as Fotoromanzo.
then the following is untrue:
Fumetti or photo novels are a form of comics illustrated with photographs rather than drawings
I mean, all fotoromanzi are fumetti, but not all fumetti are fotoromanzi.

::Yes, I think the explanation of this term is fine as it is now.  It is fairly common that English will adopt a word from another language, sometimes changing the meaning.  The first sentence of the article explains to the reader that if they are interested in Italian comics in general, there is a separate article on that subject. ike9898 July 5, 2005 12:42 (UTC)
:::In fact, fotoromanzi are not fumetti in Italian. There is no overlap between the two terms. 79.27.240.69 (talk) 18:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Ok ... I was able to cut out a lot of the repeated links.... its been been copyedited (cleaned up, organized and a TOC). Now its beginning to look like an article.  I think it needs to get some images to make it better from here. exit2dos2000 12:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I'm going to significantly clean this article for NPOV. Rmj12345 17:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also going to delete most of the introductory paragraph, as this article is not about Italian comics.Rmj12345 17:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: The entire "Toys in fumetti" section looks to be OR. Though I think it's edifying information, I think it needs to come from a third party. I'm going to make significant cuts unless there are objections. Rmj12345 17:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure cutting it all out would be the right direction to go. For now, mabey just dump it into a /sandbox subpage to keep it on file. The gradual change over time should be mentioned as it shows the evolution of the art.... but I agree OR should be avoided. I was hoping that a series of pictures might show this gradual change. The advance of Technology has made this MUCH more do'able by your average Joe. exit2dos2000 00:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That sounds like a good idea. It's too bad, because it's good information, and pretty well-written....it's just not sourced. How exactly does one do sandbox? Rmj12345 01:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  upon further reading ... i see Articles cannot have subpages .... but to awnser your question on creating one... see: Wikipedia:Subpages exit2dos2000 01:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Toys 

message: The links to examples of Fumetti comics on Drunk Duck go to the main Drunk Duck page, but not to the comics themselves. Shouldn't direct links to the comics be included? They are http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoville and http://drunkduck.com/Lego_Space .  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.207.106 (talk) 21:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drunk Duck Links 

message: See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_comics
It is misleading to describe them as photo novels when only a small fraction were that.
One thing to note almost all the fumetti and photo novels originated in Italy but were translated to other languages,
causes some confusion as to their origin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.177.222 (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fumetti were primarily Italian Comics

message: "Fumetti were not well known in North America until the advent of webcomics."
Then next paragraph:
"Fumetti were enormously successful in North America." 
So which is it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.62.47 (talk) 16:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
