Talk:Italian Wikipedia

message: How do automated bots including a bunch of changing (such as population ) data in a succint table per page compare to the spirit of what should be published in the Wikipedia?
I don't think so. Is this data going to be maintained and updated? can't this data be obtainable anyway from the original source it was found on the internet? That is, is the Italian wikipedia anyhow more useful now, after the 50.000+ one table entries they've added?
I think these "comuni" "projects" are mere exercices of vanity aimed at placing Italian in a position (i.e. number of articles , "ranking" among languages) it does unfortunately not have.
A bit ridiculous.
:It is very sad to write an article with a town name in it and seeing it red, not having even a small stub showing its position, region or size. Note that only part of the data (demography) are form databases, and these are not accessible to everyone (being databases from Istat, on a overcrowded and excel-table-filled site). This could be ridicoulus, but your objection is simply stupid. --Jollyroger 17:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Adding articles with bots for small towns and so is a pratice used in all wikis. As an italian wikipedian, i feel hurt by this silly phrase: it seems our work is made mainly with bots. It.wiki is way better than other wikis with more articles, having less stubs and more full articles. Without using stolen images, too (i.e. "fair use"). Congratulations to the jackass that tought those "smart words", you understood what wikipedia is... --Jollyroger 17:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

text: 35.000 bot created articles are IMO worth mentioning, especially in the context of the growth race the article describes. But there's a simple solution to balance the bot part: add more information about the italian wikipedia to the article. --Elian Talk 16:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article says that the Italian Wikipedia is the 8th largest edition of Wikipedia, and that it is larger than both the Spanish and Portugese Wikipedias. The latter clause is correct, and PtWiki is larger than EsWiki, as you can see by looking here, here, and here, but the Spanish Wikipedia article says that EsWiki is the 9th largest edition, and if that's true, which it might not be, then that would make PtWiki the 8th largest and ItWiki the 7th. So I have put a contradiction banner on the page. I would be grateful if someone helped me out on which article is right. Jprulestheworld01 (talk) 17:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As you can see here, in the spanish Wikipedia we have almost 486.000 articles (20-June-2009) and we are the 9th largest edition, while the italian Wikipedia is the 6th largest edition of Wikipedia (is most larger than NlWiki, PtWiki, EsWiki and RuWiki). -- DavoO (Talk) 21:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, the article says "becoming the 8th largest edition by article count", not currently, in 2005 after overtook the Spanish and Portuguese editions. I fix it the article. -- DavoO (Talk) 21:10, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: a big first, Wikipedia blocks an entire country's articles: 
:"Wikipedia shuts Italy site to protest Berlusconi "gag law"  (Reuters) - Wikipedia has disabled its Italian website in protest against a privacy law drafted by Silvio Berlusconi's government which would impose new restrictions on newspapers and Internet pages and curb police wiretaps... 
:"The very pillars on which Wikipedia has been built - -neutrality, freedom, and verifiability of its contents -- are likely to be heavily compromised," said a letter posted by the "Users of Wikipedia" on its site -- which was blocked to searches.
:"The obligation to publish on our site the correction... without even the right to discuss and verify the claim, is an unacceptable restriction of the freedom and independence of Wikipedia," it said..." (Reuters, Wed. Oct 5, 2011.) 
Finally, a block that all Wikipedians can agree on and be extremely proud of! Congratulations to all those at WP who made this brave decision, we are all proud of you! Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 03:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Maybe somebody should alert them if this (not trying to be a killjoy, just stating a fact).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ke5skw (talk • contribs) 06:26, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article now says that "On October 6, 2011, the website has reopened", so this is moot. Although the article did say that the mobile version was still accessible between the 4th and the 6th, this may have been a misunderstanding (someone accessing it on the morning of the 6th and getting the mobile version of the reopened site), but even if the mobile version was intact throughout, it seems unlikely to be relevant, if the site's staying open now. --McGeddon (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

message: It would be good to know to put the protest and the privacy law in context.  How can such a law affect Italian sites hosted in another country outside the EU?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigantibyte (talk • contribs) 15:07, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, let's assume someone doesn't like something, the plaintiff files a complaint, Italian Wikipedia ignores it, the next step would be for the authorities to send a cease and desist letter to the hosting company. However a host in another country is not bound by Italian law, the sole fact of having content in Italian does not make it subject to Italian law, if it's a different jurisdiction. I guess it's reasonable to argue that it.wiki are using their position to protest for sites that would be subject to this due to being hosted in Italy, even if it's not going to affect it.wiki itself.

replies: text: But the courts (if the law had passed) could also punish an Italian citizen for posting there. The Italian courts can't force the website to remove it, but (if the law had passed) they could turn on the Italian who posts it. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:41, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: "Voice"

message: Hello, beautiful people. I wish to point out the way the articles strifes to underline how the Italian Wikipedia got where it got simply because of bots automatically creating articles ex novo ("Operazione «Comuni spagnoli»"). I require this to be edited out, since it is not pointed out on the pages about the Swedish Wikipedia, Waray Wikipedia or the Cebuano Wikipedia, which, as it is clear and evident, are basically an offspring of Lsjbot. Ew... Why isn't there written:
Again, the automated Lsjbot heavily contributed to the growth... (Operation  «Mustelidae»?).
Well, actually the problem is that en.wiki is a huge lair of anti-Italian sentiment. --79.22.1.246 (talk) 23:24, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
