message: Marche is a prural noun in italian because the name refers to the several Marche (a border territory of the Holy Roman Empire ruled by a Marchese) i the region not only to the Marca Anconitana or Marca di Ancona.

message: I removed ItalianVisits.com since, as can be seen, it's a small and very inferior site: a single unfinished page with 4 small uncaptioned photos and 4 links, the purpose of which is to draw people to "I.V. Tours".
I replaced it by a selection of the best sites available. The five provinces maintain excellent sites as well, with at least some pages in English; and there are several dozen small sites in English much better than the above. I didn't add my own site because not sufficiently broad — although it has 28 pages of text and 59 large photos, and is thus considerably better than the spam I removed. Bill 09:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Why Marche is considered a region in Northen Italy? As far as I know, together with Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria and Abruzzo, it is part of Central Italy. --Cantalamessa 23:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bravo, amico — now why didn't you make the change? I've been watching this "error" (a piece of vandalism introduced in Dec 04) to see how long it would take to be caught. Qui, si canta spesso non la messa, ma il truffo.... Bill 00:03, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: After a brief search, I found that the most often used designation for this region in English language is "the Marches". This is evident from searching Google Books and also the standard Google. Because of this, and because of the low activity in this talk page (the last discussion dates from 2007) I decided to be BOLD and carry out the change myself. Of course, everyone is welcome to discuss the question.--Le Petit Modificateur Laborieux (talk) 14:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely think that the most used name for the region in English nowadays is "Marche". Therefore I don't agree with PML's changes. --Checco (talk) 17:57, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As only PML has stated its preference for "Marches" and I oppose such a change, I'll replace "the Marches" with "Marche". As no new consensus was formed, it's better to stick to the previous one. --Checco (talk) 13:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi all.  Generally, I think it's better to use truly English names (e.g. "Germany" not "Deutschland", except when there is now an overwhelming consensus that the once-in-use English name has passed into the history books for any number of reasons (e.g. "Beijing", not "Peking" and "Zimbabwe", not "Rhodesia".  Therefore, I think I would have agreed with PML's change.  HOWEVER, that is not my real point - my primary concern is the first line, where it states that "The english name is Marches."  We need to have it one way or the other - either the English name is Marches, and the article should be moved, or the English name is Marche, which would mean that the title of the article is correct, but that opening sentence should be moved.  Can someone who has more knowledge on the topic than me resolve this? AshleyMorton (talk) 15:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  English name 

message: I think that someone should add the official anthem of The Marche to the infobox of the Region (much as it has been done for British territories, for instance). Since 2007, the official anthem of Marche is the "Inno delle Marche" (see on the official site of the region and on Wikipedia's List of anthems). Incidentally, the same change to the infobox should be done also for the other two Italian Regions which have an official anthem: Sicily (anthem: Madreterra) and Aosta Valley (anthem: Montagnes Valdôtaines). --82.50.124.184 (talk) 04:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding official anthem 

message: I am a bit puzzled by the move to the title Marches on a number of grounds. Firstly there was already a discussion on this talk page which I would have expected a page-mover to engage with before doing the deed. Secondly because the natural title would seem to be The Marches rather than the form without a definite article. And thirdly because the mover treats the title as if it were in the singular: ‘The Marches was nominally part of the Papal States’, for instance, which reads very oddly to me. I see that the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office uses Piedmont (rather than Piemonte), Lombardy (rather than Lombardia), Tuscany (rather than Toscana), Sicily (rather than Sicilia) and Sardinia rather than Sardegna), but Marche rather than [The] Marches. I tend to think that the FCO has the contemporary English usage right here. Accordingly I will revert the move and suggest that a consensus is reached on this page before moving it again.

replies: text: Firstly, the discussion was closed about 4 months ago and I decided to be BOLD, secondly The Marches is incorrect, even the Britannica Encyclopedia put the page on the "M" summary" and the "T" of "the Marche" , , is not a capital letter, this is en.wiki where geography must use the proper English exonym, not the Italian one, if you read "Marche" name you pronunce it in English, not in Italian, so "Marche" is wrong because is the Italian name, I don't care about the FCO, I care about its proper name in English as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) and per WP:naming conventions (use English), in italian the name is not and never was "Le Marche" (a Britannica mistake) but simply "Marche" at the opposite of "La Spezia" or "L'Aquila" (curiously the Britannica use simply "Spezia" without "L'") that use the article as part of the noun. I am highly knowledgeable about this "problem" because I live there. About your third point: it was a mistake, of course the correct sentence is ‘The Marches were nominally part of the Papal States’. At the moment the page and both names used on the geobox are totally wrong, last but non least the section: (pronounced [ˈmarke]) is not valid for English speaker, it's almost like writing Italy (pronunciation Italya) simply ridiculous. Anyway here some sources standard Google, than about some governamental websites here you have 22.000 results with "Marche"+"Italy", [22.000 results with "Marche"+"Italy"]. Even the European Union is still using "Marches" , then reasearching on google books in English "italy"+"the marches" we got 53.000 results, "italy"+"marche"+"region" (because was finding something else) we got 11.100 results  and many of them are written by Italians. So you can raname the page as you want like The Marches but "Le Marche" is completely wrong as stated before by User:Erinaceus, and Marche is once again wrong because is the Italian plural form of Marca wich in English is -> March or Mark and its plural counterpart is Marches (see from point 2.) --Nicola Romani (talk) 17:53, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The coat of arms of Marche does not follow the rules of heraldry, so it would be more accurate to refer to it as an emblem in the article. It might also be pertinent to change the file name of the image to 'Emblem of Marche' too, though I'm not sure how renaming files works. The Flag of Marche article already calls it an emblem. --Heatedfrost (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
