message: Some Calabrians listed are actually Americans of Calabrian descent.
:I've updated this list and welcome edits. Some content needs to be confirmed. Some people of Calabrian descent probably shouldn't be included if they are associated primarily with another country. Some that originated in Greece, that resided primarily in Calabria, are and should be included. Mariokempes 19:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Napolitan is spoken only in Naples, not in all southern Italy.
The article on Calabria is to say the least " PATHETIC" !!  In reality is WRong and politically motivated !!
I note that there is no indication of the great cultural contribution of the Calabrian from the father
of the rinascimento £TELESIO BERNARDINO " to the Inventor of the aspirin and nobel laureate Dulbecco !!
The talk about criminality when in fact its a lot of nonsense and I shall refrain to REALLY SPELL where the criminals are !!
There are political vertual reality in our world and we must live with them !!  Going back to Calabrian Language
its ALL ITALIAN and all its dialects LATIN base 100% ............aside from infilrations of immigrants in the 1400 century from albania
that still speak an old form of albanian language, the dialects from Croton , Cosenza, Catanzaro and reggio are ANCIENT LATIN in their
structure.  The rest of the article needs a severe face lift !!  i have attempted the corrections but i am under control !! they want to write what they want !!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.26.49 (talk) 18:39, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I have received a huge amount of email in the past week that contains this word either in the subject or in the first sentence of the email.  Is this the name of a new medication or something?  Why would that word appear in spam messages?  Thanks. --Dusty Wilson 20:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the pronunciation for Calabria and Calabrese? Audio files would be best for the main page, but a phonetic listing is good enough I suppose.
:It is something as "Kah-LAH-Bree-Ah". It would be nice if English language pronounced as it is written, like Italian, Latin or German. --Attilios 17:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I'm not adept at deciphering english "phonetic", but I think what you have just spelled is the plural form- calabresi. The singular- calabrese- would end in a "say" not a "see" 66.183.217.31 22:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I wait for a certain period. Either who added the lines talking about a supposed Greek immigration in Calabria dating back to the 16th and 17th century post some reliable source about this event that seems to be completely invented to me or I delete those lines. In fact a migration actually took place in the period and had some of the characteristics that are pointed out, but this was an immigration of Arbereshe and not Greek people.
Sorry, Calabria was not settled first (by oscian speaking people), this formulation is odd. Indo-European Oscians only arrived there around 800 before Chr. (may be up to 200 years earlier). There were people already there since the stone age, among them probably early Greek colonists.
In addition - where does the name of the region does come from?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.133.155.70 (talk) 10:18, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I am removing the claim of evidence of habitation at up to 700,000 BC, based on two reasons:
# The claim is unsourced and contentious.
# The coincidence of this date being close to the defined end of the Calabrian subdivision of the Palaeolithic age (which is named as such for wholly unrelated reasons).
It is simply too probable that an enthusiast perhaps did a quick google, and, skimming the name in a returned search header/paragraph, saw the name of Calabria alongside that period's defined end, which can vary depending on sources but is almost always quite close to a little over 700ka, and slapped in something that sounds very nice. This — combined with a complete dearth of supporting citation for a claim that, while certainly far from impossible, can certainly be considered debatable without any supporting evidence — essentially demands that the claim be either tempered or removed. However, since I do not have any definitive source that provides a better or corrected date (nor, apparently, has anyone else for a substantial period of time now) and the claim stands alone, the remaining correct action is deletion, at least until it can be sourced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saturn comes back around (talk • contribs) 17:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I remove an over-excessive amount of links from the "External links" section that amounted to promotional advertisement and link farming.

message: Calabria does share a maritime border with the island of Sicily. The idea of having an article state that one place has a maritime border is used elsewhere. From the Nunavut article "It also shares maritime borders with Greenland and the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba." , ,  CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what is exactly defined as a maritime border for Regions. For what we know Calabria could also share a maritime border with Apulia, since the whole gulf of Taranto is part of the Italian territorial waters. Also then Friuli Venezia Giulia (and possibly Veneto?) shares a border with Croatia, and Sardinia and Tuscany share a border with Corsica, France. --Ritchie92 (talk) 09:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: And at Nunavut it isn't stated in the lead. Calabria does state in the Geography section "It is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina", which should suffice, but "maritime" border could also work its way into the sentence if necessary - I still don't think this will stop the IPs, however.
