replies: text: So... if this has been merged into Fascism, is there any reason not to turn this article into a redirect? Or just delete (after fixing any incoming links), since no one is liable to search for this unlikely title? -- Jmabel 17:10, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)
The Fascist article is already too long.  This is about the transformation of the name "Fascio".
This describes the history and use of the name.  This article is about the name.WHEELER 14:37, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Why is this a separate article?

message: Interestingly, the Italian wiki has a corresponding entry for the term "fascio," but it is disambiguated into four separate entries: fascio littorale (the 
Roman bundle of rods), fascio politico (the story of the use of the term in politics since Unification), fascio matematico (???), and fascio as related to category theory.
 
In any case, if anyone is interested in gaining some input from this side of the ocean (in terms of links or translations, Italian books and resources, etc..) please let me know.  I'm glad to help out. My Italian is quality 4, if not 5. And I'm fascinated with the topic recently.--Lacatosias 21:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Italian wiki 

message: I honestly threw that out there not as vandalism, but as a sort of experiment to see what would happen: would it might provoke some further research,  would it be left alone as is (as is the case on the Italian wikipedia where I found it and with which I am extremely dissapointed---no citations anywhere!!), or whatever. In any case, I have posted a comment/question/criticism on several parts of the Italian wikipedia asking for the citation for this and many other assertions. Just learning the ropes.--Lacatosias 12:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I wasn't accusing you of vandalism: I knew it was reasonably well-intentioned, especially if you were just pulling information from another Wikipedia. But, as I say, any time someone mentions the Freemasons and has no citation, I'm skeptical, because, in addition to a reasonably significant role in history, they figure even more prominently in pseudo-history. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You don't need to tell me about it. I have a masonic cousin who WRITES absolute nonsense about the 
Masons which resembles the caricature of the three students that Umberto Eco created in Foucault's Pendulum. --Lacatosias 17:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Garibaldi masons 

message: It might be important to note the presence of the fasci symbol (a bundle of rods with a hatchet head) on either side of the speaker's podium in the United State House of Representatives. Why are these symbols featured there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ericlaine (talk • contribs) 9 September 2006.
: I presume you are referring to the bundle of 13 arrows that are part of the Great Seal of the United States. - Jmabel | Talk 06:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: United States Congress

message: I just changed 'pacific' to 'specific'.  It makes sense (more easily), and 'pacific' doesn't seem relevant here.  If this is wrong, can someone please clarify what is meant by 'pacific leanings'? 206.202.64.46 00:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fasci Etimologically 

message: This article is slanted in appearance to presenting the fascio as being the precursors to fascism. That's like saying that trade unions were a precursor to Soviet communism because the Soviet Union had official trade unions. The fasci was like a guild, there were many fascio for different interests.--R-41 (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not all fascio were fascist - the fascists took over the term fasci, there were non-fascist fascio
