Italian 1938 victory

Hello Jollyroger, I saw you left a message on my talk page about the Italian 1938 victory. I am very very doubtful anyone really believed that Mussolini would have executed the Italian footballers if they did not win. Are there any other instances of Mussolini executing any other sportsmen due to their failure to win? The saying "Win or Die" sounds similar to "Live free or die" the official motto of New Hampshire. I don't think anyone believes that New Hampshire will execute someone who chooses not to be free! I think unless a body of citations is provided showing that the Hungarians were indeed concerned about the lives of the Italians, the current version should not be changed.

White Stripes

Thanks for adding to the White Stripes article. It is a good article, which means it is high quality, and well verified. Do you know what country is playing the version of "Seven Nation Army?" with the commentary by Caresso? Also, do you know of any source that could verify that? If so, leave me a note on my talk page. Thanks!--Esprit15d 19:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: DYK

I saw the submissions there and I had planned to take a closer look at them. Early mornings (US Central time, which happens to be right now as I type this) are usually the times that I look through and promote an item. I haven't yet had a chance to thoroughly examine your suggestions. One of the requirements that we follow for the Trains portal DYK section is that the fact in the DYK item must be present somewhere in the subject article. I normally promote one DYK suggestion per day and I try to avoid having items from one political entity more than two times in the section on any given day (with about 10,000 articles on rail transport topics worldwide, this hasn't been a problem yet).

Re: quality assessment

Just took a look at the article. I think it's up to B quality now for the breadth of information in the article. If this is going to move up to GA status, it needs a more comprehensive lead section, inline citations and references (which is why I put unref=yes in the template call) as well as a few more photos (especially useful would be photos of the equipment in revenue service).

For an example on referencing an article that uses mostly printed sources, take a look at California Southern Railroad. When I wrote it, I used the four books listed as primary sources for the article, citing specific facts to page numbers via footnotes, then used online sources to fill in additional information.

Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar... I guess you referred to Victor Emmanuel II. Nothing special, I simply get stunned to see how poor, old fashioned, uninformative and even DISinformative it was... Bye and good work. --Attilios 09:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

Hi there, regarding your addition here of the "I KILL YOU!" barnstar - I'm not sure that's a great idea to place on a public page. While I'm not personally offended by it, I think many people would be. I encourage you to remove it. Thanks --Mus Musculus 15:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

mentore

Mio caro Jollyroger, so che può apparirti starna come richiesta, ma, avrei, per sopravvivere quivi abbisogno di un mentore. Vorresti essere tu? Anche se no, rispondimi. tuo Flavio/Wiki pest 16:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grazie lo stesso ;-) tuo Flavio/Wiki pest 12:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ciao

Siccome sulla wiki italiana sono blocato, ci tenevo a dirti che mi dispiace che tu non venga eletto admin, nonostante tutto sei uno di quelli capaci e che svolgerebbero bene il compito. Detto questo mi stupisco che la cricca dei soci Wikimedia Italia non riesca a trovare un escabotage per farti eleggere comunque. Buone vacanze!
