Alpini Project[edit]

I began a project to create articles about all the Alpini regiments, brigades and some of the battalions. I wrote articles about the following units:

and began these articles, which I will expand considerably in the next few months:

I'm happy for any contribution someone might want to add to this project. --noclador (talk) 06:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

layout[edit]

I think this one is the best, 15px is too small (you can't see any major difference between the icons at 15px). Noclador, are the 4th alpini, 6th alpini and Alpini formation centre "Aosta" subordinated to the Tridentina Brigade? --Eurocopter tigre 07:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then, shouldn't we make the 4th and 6th icons 25px sized? If they are independent units subordinated directly to the COMALP... Also, if you'd like to respond here, to maintain continuity , go right ahead, I'm watching the page. Eurocopter tigre 11:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Structure[edit]

I propose making a new article about the structure of the alpinis, where we should include the infos from the Origins and WWI sections - they are becoming quite boring with all those regiments listed there. Any thoughts? Eurocopter tigre 08:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
