Sourcing

Can we get some sources here that aren't Italian, otherwise this seems like a bit of an irredentist axe-grinding honeypot? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:39, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This so-called Italian geographical region is one of the three subregions that make up Southern Europe. I reckon it should be renamed South-central Europe instead because this subregion not only contains Italy, but also Malta, San Marino, and Vatican City. 2001:8003:9008:1301:799A:1738:90C2:7640 (talk) 13:20, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pelagie Islands

@Mvvnlightbae: According to the bluehabitats.org website, all three islands (Lampedusa, Lampione, and Linosa) of the Pelagie Islands are located on the African continental shelf. How come only Linosa is considered a part of the Italian geographical region while the other two islands aren't? Shouldn't all of them be excluded from the Italian geographical region?

Area percentages

According to the article, the continental, peninsular, and insular parts occupy 40%, 45%, and 18.5% of the Italian geographical region respectively. These figures aren't accurate as they add up to more than 100%. Do we have a better source for that? 120.16.55.218 (talk) 01:16, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
