message: Hello everyone, I had an idea to add the cuisine, sports, and outdoor activities in Lazio. What do you all think? It's for a school project. Saddison1 (talk) 12:54, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

message: This is my first time here...not sure how to comment about spelling of "inhabitted"....in History of Latium...it should be "inhabited."  minor correction needed....but worthy of notice I think.

thread_title:  spelling 

message: As far as I know, the name of this region is Lazio in modern Italian, and there's no good reason to prefer its Latin name. While this article is stubby, it looks like it's intended to cover the history of the region to the present day. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it should, for starters there's the fact that this article is on the Regione Lazio - the Italian administrative unit and not simply the geographical area, and the Regione has never been called Latium. Secondly even going by the rather silly (IMO) 'Common Usage' rule that Wikipedia uses (resulting in an article on the Czech Republic instead of simply Czechia) it should still be Lazio. I have never, ever, ever heard it referred to as 'Latium' except in a _purely_ historical fashion, i.e. if the speaker is talking about Roman or pre-Roman history. Or should we maybe start calling Basilicata, Lucania again? Or move Calabria back to Salento? Seek100 02:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: shouldn't this article be called Lazio?

message: Move (and split). Close call, but after reviewing the discussion (6/4) and briefly the article, the article focuses on modern region. If split (which I welcome), redirect Latium should be replaced with historical contents.Duja 13:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mhh... about blanking and reverting 

message: Someone put citation requests on some elemental information at the level of "Massachusetts is a state." We don't need a citation to tell us Massachusetts is a state and we don't need one to tell us the Latins were named from living in Latium. But, in case you did not know that, there is a blue link to the Latins! That article explains or should explain that the Latini lived in Latium and had a mythical king Latinus. Moreover, the connection between Lazio and Latium does not need a citation either. In case you did not know that and were confused, as well might happen in the case of children or if your education was terminated in grade school, or if you missed out on school and learned to read on your own later, the blue link to Latium serves as a reference. We do not need to give a special reference to these connections made in the linked articles, as this information is or should have been elementary knowledge. So, I'm taking them out, after verifying the blue links go where they should. There will be a slight rewording of those sentences to make the points.Dave (talk) 09:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Unecessary requests for citation

message: The previous source was ISTAT in Italian. I do not know why you would choose Italian as there is an English version, so I put the English version in. Moreover, that agency updates those figures practically on a month-to-month basis. So, I put in the last available as of this date. And, I do believe the box goes way beyond ISTAT. All I see in ISTAT is a distinction between citizens and foreign residents. This breaking population down by nationality, that is an American idea. And Romanian - why Romanian? Is someone concerned about Romanians in Lazio? We shouldn't be. The Italians do what the Italians do and apparently that does not concern ISTAT at all. And there is no source on that one, so I'm changing it to verifiable information under the headings "Citizens" and "Foreign residents." If you Italian WP editors have issues with that come up with some reliable figures and references, but don't involve us in your issues. Over here the ethnic reporting status is hopeless so no one bothers with it. Some job applications still want to know if you belong to the Caucasian Race. All such requests used to be and ought to be a violation of civil rights. However a subsequent law forces companies to gather data for the census so we have this contradictory situation. I'm waiting for someone to take it to the Supreme Court but no one seems to have the money. Caucasian Race? Shades of the Civil War, Henri Breasted and Carleton Coon. Get back, you shades. I think purgatory for them is located under the Caucasus mountains (joke). In any case let's stick to the figures of the national Italian agencies and not go winging it. However, ISTAT is not sure about the numbers of foreign residents. The last update doubles the previous estimate for the same date, January 1 2009. I got no choice but to use the latest, which indicate there are a lot of foreigners in Lazio, probably in Rome, but you can go to the site to find out. I see no point in singling out Romanians; you would expect such an important city cuturally to have contingents from just about the whole world. If I were going to single out foreigners here I would look for the number of Italians ... (another joke). Of course, here they are only Americans with Italian names, and there are too many to count, I do believe.Dave (talk) 14:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The statistics

message: === Location ===
This box seems extraneous and in the way. Since it was invented the box you see at the side was invented, which gives a map of the location of Lazio. If you have the map, why do you need the location box? Not only that but the coordinates are a locator also: you click on those and you get quite a variety of detailed maps and photos. The location box does not really fit anywhere and is the wrong size for a banner. Its general inutility is underscored by the fact that no other article linked to the location box has the location box. I had it at the bottom, which is the only place it might fit without disrupting the continuity of the article - you can't just stick things in snywhere - but someone moved it back in the center. So with your permission I'm inclined to take out this obsolete template not used anywhere else. We have boxes and banners a'plenty, as well as maps, no need to clutter the place up with duplicated information arranged confusingly in a template that no longer fits. Thanks.Dave (talk) 01:00, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
