Bucentaur: Translation of Italian and Latin terms
Hi, help would be much appreciated in translating the following Italian and Latin terms in the article "Bucentaur" into English:
Italian
- "La Nuova regia su l'acque nel Bucintoro nuovamente cretto all'annua solenne funzione del giorno dell'Ascensione di Nostro Signore".
- "Habiti d'hvomeni et donne venetiane: con la processione della serma. Signoria et altri particolari cioè trionfi feste cerimonie pvbliche della nobilissima città di Venetia".
- "sovraprovveditore". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacklee (talk • contribs) 15:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Latin
"cum uno artificioso et solemni Bucentauro, super quo venit usque ad S. Clementem, quo jam pervenerat principalior et solemnior Bucentaurus cum consiliariis, &c"."quod Bucentaurus Dominions ducis Fiat for Dominium et teneatur in Arsenatu"."Antonii Coradini sculptoris Inventum".[Translated – thanks.]
Do respond on the article's talk page. Thanks very much. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 04:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC), updated 15:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
At the moment, requirement for belonging to this category is 100,000 people population. According to this rule, Giugliano in Campania (pop. 110,065) is one of Italy major cities. Is there someone who support a 300,000 people raising rule for this category ? See List of cities in Italy article with cities and population for an help in determining an agreeable criteria. --EH101 (talk) 23:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- 150,000. (This includes all the cities shown in this map except Augusta and Sassari). Maybe the category should be renamed.--Supparluca 07:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Is he WP:NOTABLE? His article is up for deletion. Kittybrewster ☎ 08:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Be informed equivalent article was canceled on it.wiki. Meanwhile a legal caution notice was sent to that project OTRS from the person (see it:Wikipedia:Pagine_da_cancellare/Marco_Lupis/2)--EH101 (talk) 23:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say the links to royalty (provided the refs are appropriate: I didn't check them) satisfy notability along the lines of WP:PAPER. From looking at some of the editors and the style of the article, however, I suspect there may be some WP:COI issues (as the existing tag suggests). That's not inherently bad (I've done similar actions(1) (2)), but just something to keep in mind in that references should be both abundant and carefully scrutinised. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 23:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- And just to summarise the Italian discussion, the quarrel appears to have indeed been the COI issue as well as limited notability -- the same issues which apply here. It definitely rests on opinion: do people lean more toward stringent notability criteria; or more toward WP:PAPER? Note that IT does have WP:PAPER as well as Bio notability (both of which can sometimes be rather contradictory policies across the wikis). I'd say that IT's bio notability requirements are more stringent than EN, so that may be more cause for deletion there than here. Either way, both cases should be treated separately. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 00:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Etruscans taskforce
I'm looking into creating a taskforce to improve the quality of articles relating to the Etruscan civilization. Let me you if you'd be interested in joining or you have ideas about which project it would best be organized under. Best wishes/Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 13:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
