Talk:Bersaglieri

message: I've done some minor copy edits, but there are a few links that won't work. Wikipedia has no entry for the Sardinian army, for one thing, and some of this doesn't tie in to the italian history segment very well. I have some info on the Berseglieri kicking around, so I'll add updates when I have time, and correct the links. Was this article originaly in Italian?

message: There's a nice pic of the Bersaglieri in the mountains with their bicycles at Commons, follow the (commons link), however the article has enough pics already so I don't know if any other editors feel its worthwhile replacing one of the existing pics (probably the magazine front page) with the bicycle pic.

message: The photo captioned "Two Bersaglieri during the Risorgimento, ca. 1863" is "flipped". Left and right are reversed in the image. This is apparent by looking at the hats. The feathers are always worn on the right side, and the hat is always worn inclined so as to cut across the right eyebrow and touch the right ear.  This was originally to shade the shooting eye.  Also the tunics in the image button on the wrong side, like women's clothes.  Also the swords hang on the right, which would have meant that both of these Bersaglieri were left-handed, which is very unlikely.  Perhaps someone more skilled than I could "flip" this picture to make it correct.74.109.236.194 (talk) 10:12, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The article is self contradictory in describing their current role - the lead says they are Light infantry while later in the article there is a claim that they are currently Mechanised infantry. This contradiction needs to be fixed by editors with access to better sources - most of what I find are copies of this article. Roger (talk) 08:45, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

message: "During World War I, the 12 regiments of Bersaglieri fought with distinction. Of the 210,000 members of Bersaglieri regiments, 32,000 were killed and 50,000 wounded during the war."
These figures don't match. Even if I subtract all KIA and WIA, that's still more than 10,000 per regiment on average. Regiments are much smaller. This is fishy. (There were indeed only 12 regiments, so I doubt the 210k figure.) Lastdingo (talk) 17:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  questionable figures 

message: The audios for the different calls in the 'bugle calls' section are very peculiar. I suspect this is a transcription error, where a B flat accidental is missing for each call, resulting in B naturals, and diminished triads instead of major ones. As it is now, the calls are impossible to play on a bugle, and so are almost certainly incorrect. Robsj 001 (talk) 17:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubious Bugle Calls 

message: The inline citations in this article are few and highly specialized, which makes it very hard to edit. Also, important characteristics of the Bersiglieri are mixed up with historical material throughout the article. I'm attempting to make some sense of all this, by adding a Characteristics and symbols (or something like that) section at the start of the article. Lou Sander (talk) 00:47, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
