thread_title:  Famous natives I 

message: Ah, more stirring of the pot. :}  We should discuss here if the page needs the German name Trient before starting another edit war.  Trento was under Austria-Hungary, but there are essentially no Germans in this region.  Is it really necessary to include the German name?  Do we need to go all over Wikipedia and include the names of former occupiers?  Seems a bit unnecessary.  Would like English-speakers input rather than Italian or Germans. thanks.

replies: text: To be fair it wasn’t Eugene who introduced that oddity: he was just the last editor to fail to spot it. In fact, of course, it’s a good sign of there being a bit of multi-lingualism around. Someone, I guess, came accross what was a micro-stub of an English article, spotted that there was a better one in German and translated it in just that bit too much of a hurry! But we are allowed to make those sorts of mistakes on wikis: they correct themselves. (Eventually. Perhaps.) —Ian Spackman 22:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For sure it is nicer to see honest mistakes.  I'm still all for Zugen-TreniItalia though. Taalo 22:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't really have problems with Welschtirol or Trient myself.  They are part of the history.  I think including these names somewhere in the body of the history section makes a lot of sense.  Having them in the first line, well, I'm not so sure.  Anyway, in the end every name is just an invention.  My feeling is that Italy has provinces now and those should have pages, just as all 50 states of the US have pages.  Some of those 50 states are recent inventions as well.

replies: text: Welschtirol is historik, Trient is actual (for me the Capital of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is called Trient). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emes (talk • contribs) 09:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure whether it is better to be actual or historic. I think that in term of an an encyclopedia the latter is more important: today decays much faster than yesterday! And that is precisely the reason why people are voting for the historical term South Tyrol, as against the contemporary Province of Bolzano! —Ian Spackman 11:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Historic official names are commonplace in Wikipedia at the start of an article. See Lviv, Kaliningrad, Nice. Not to mention that Trento was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and at one point had a sizeable German population (30% at least); Goethe coming to Italy, and arriving in the German district, still heard enough German to write he didn't really feel he was in Italy yet. For all these reasons I feel that the German name should be in. Tridentinus 16:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, sounds good, especially your point of Historic official names are commonplace in Wikipedia at the start of an article.  Do you think we need Latin in the start of the article too? I guess it could be kind of interesting for pages in Italy. Taalo 22:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name in German 

message: I removed two entries from the famous natives. Googling for Mr Palermo awards no result opinting at his even national notoriety, and Trasmonti only resulted in pages sourced from this article. In short, it's vandalism. Tridentinus 22:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Remove from :category:Major Cities in Italy. Trento is not one of Italian Major cities i.e. it in not in the list of the ten biggest cities for population. --EH101 (talk) 15:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal category request

message: I deleted the template  because it caused problems in the languages box, making appear links with the page of "Province of Trento" in some languages that couldn't be removed. The italian one connected even with an empty template page! Daviboz (talk) 01:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for spotting that problem, which will have affected all the articles on the communes in this province. I have fixed the template (which a bot edit had messed up in September) and restored it to this page. —Ian Spackman (talk) 10:27, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Name in local language

message: When I think of the Council of Trent, an "o" on the end sounds silly and wrong.  As this is English-language Wikipedia, I think the name of the article should be the English-language name.  We have an article about the city of Rome, not Roma, so why is the article called Trento when historically the city is called Trent in English?  98.221.130.215 (talk) 08:16, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. See my post above under the Name section with a suggested compromise. We could add the name Trent in the language section as Traditional English. Agentxp22 (talk) 16:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Trent

message: It seems obvious to me that the Latin name Tridentum is a reference to Neptune's trident. But a quick search does not give me any backing for this. I'm just inquiring. Is this just my imagination, has it occurred to others, is it deserving of mention either for confirmation or denial, or should it just be forgotten? TomS TDotO (talk) 14:56, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There is some claims on a raetic origin of the name, but is generally accepted that Tridentum ("tree-tooth") was referred to three nearby hills: it:Doss Trento, it:Dosso di San Rocco and it:Dosso Sant'Agata. The Trident was associated only thanks to the assonance; so first came the name "Tree-Tooth" and only later the association with Neptune. In fact the inscription on the old town hall in via Belenzani says: "Montes argentvm mihi dant nomeno Tridentum (The mountains and the silver give me the name of Tridentum)". --Pippo skaio (talk) 16:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I read the article and I have a few comments.
1. "Most served on the Galician front".
I supposed this refers to Galicia, the northwestern region of Spain. If it is, please add a link so it's clear. It's not obvious.
2. "The aim of this festival is to put economic terminology across to everyone."
This sentence is vague and awkward.
3. "Ianeselli, a former trade unionist, was elected as a left-leaning independent with the support of a wide coalition of parties. These parties ranged from the left (as in the case of Europa Verde) to the Catholic centre (including Partito Autonomista Trentino Tirolese, and Insieme per Trento). When determining the composition of his Giunta (the equivalent of a City Cabinet), Ianeselli selected seven members of the City Council: Monica Baggia, Elisabetta Bozzarelli, Mariachiara Franzoia, Chiara Maule, Salvatore Panetta, Roberto Stanchina, and Paolo Zanella. However, in late November 2020 Paolo Zanella announced he would leave his position as a member of the Giunta, in order to fill a vacancy in one of the 35 seats of the legislative assembly of the Trentino province, upon the resignation of member Paolo Ghezzi. Shortly after, mayor Ianeselli announced Ezio Facchin as Zanella's successor."
This is not important and it does not add any value for the reader.
4. Palazzo delle Albere (Palace of the Trees). It's not clear to me how the translation came about. The Italian version of the article talks about trees which, in Italian, are "alberi". How the word "alberi" became "albere", which is not a word in Italian, is unclear. If anybody knows please explain it to me.
5. The "Culture" section of this article says nothing about the culture of the city. It's just a collection and a misnomer.
