Talk:Padua

message: i was reading this article just to see what is written about my city. the whole article is really well done. but here in the "austrian section" are described those "Clowns of Padua" and a phantomatic "Viggio".
obviously nobody knows him nor them. nobody is killed or injured. this is a evident fake. just check the web: nowhere there is any infos about this. clowns and geeks? never heard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.46.106 (talk) 07:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Padua redirects here. Now, what other Padua might be the article likely to be sought by the average reader? Padua, Illinois? Padua, Minnesota? Couldn't this article be simply Padua without offending mid-America? Wikipedia tends to reveal its early bias. --Wetman 09:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Pianura Padovana or Pianura Padana?

message: In works of geographic reference (such as the maps and guides of the Touring Club of Italy), the practice is to indicate the stress accent on all placenames which do not have it on the penult (next-to-last syllable), or which end in -ia. Pàdova is a typical example.  It is not incorrect to write the accent -- it is just not usually done.  I suppose IPA is the other way to do it, but why not use the standard Italian convention?  I won't revert this change, because I think there is room for discussion.

replies: text: My worry is that Italian speakers don't need the accent, while non-speakers, who do not know that convention, may think that the accent is mandatory (as it is in some Italian words). Jorge Stolfi 08:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have written some notes on User talk:Macrakis/Italian accents (perhaps there is a better place to put this?).  To answer directly here, it is not wrong to write the accent.  --Macrakis 15:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation of "Padova'

message: As for the capitalization of "Patavium", yes, the Romans did not distinguish capitals and smalls, but all Roman (and for that matter Greek, Arabic, Ottoman, etc. names originally written without capital/small distinctions) names in Wikipedia are written using the modern conventions.  Surely we are not going to start writing ROMA, ΑΘΗΝΑΙ, AL-QUDS, etc. I am reverting this change. --Macrakis 20:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nolo contendere, after all the word is indeed capitalized in many Latin texts. But... I think that there is a distinction between (1) the headword of an article and its variants, as it may be used in an English text about the subject; and (2) the native-language version of the headword, as it would be used in a native-language text, and which is being given only for information.  In case (1) the English capitalization should certainly be used, even if the headword is an unassimilated foreign word, such as Gallia Cisalpina. In case (2) the word should be written in the native alphabet (with Latin-script transcription and/or IPA if appropriate), as it would appear in native-language texts. Methinks that in this case onse should use the native capitalization too, that's all... Jorge Stolfi 08:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you find any scholarly articles or encyclopedias which follow this convention for Latin place-names? --Macrakis 15:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, forget it. Peace and love, Jorge Stolfi 23:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Good morning, I am a student at the University of Bergamo. I would like to contribute to this article in the frame of the project  by adding a paragraph about the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Padua: the Botanical Garden of the city and the Frescos of the 14th century. The latest was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on the 24th of July 2021. --MyaJourneyBoo (talk) 09:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
