Heck, that's my city… I don't follow basketball but now that you told me… :-) I'll try to translate it in the next days (this is not excluding, *very welcome*, four/six/eight hands collaborations :-)) —Gennaro Prota ^•Talk 10:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was very little information in the article body, especially when removing things which were already stated in the infobox; also the logo image had no copyright info… Anyway I put up a first cut of the English version; would you be able to fill in the players' roles? —Gennaro Prota ^•Talk 12:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Said and done. Thanks! — Dale Arnett 11:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:it:Guido Gozzano

Article: it:Guido Gozzano
Corresponding English-language article: ~~(None)~~ created Guido Gozzano
Worth doing because: There was no corresponding English article; Gozzano is a major turn-of-the-century Italian poet. The Italian article, though not very long, is very good and quite well structured.
Originally Requested by: Goochelaar 11:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Status: Partially translated by Goochelaar 13:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC). I did not translate the part on "Poetics", but perhaps it would be better to enlarge or rewrite it.[reply]
Notes: You are very welcome to check on what I have done, correct mistakes and so on.

:it:Salaawa

Article: it:Salaawa
Corresponding English-language article: en:Salawa
Worth doing because: The salaawa article in English is very short and here there is a couple sections of Italian that could be easily translated.

:it:Castellaneta

Article: it:Castellaneta
Corresponding English-language article: Castellaneta
Worth doing because: an incredible amount of information in the Italian article that would be worth translating into English so that it could then be used as the basis for translations into other languages.

Worth doing because: Italian article about this British mountaineer reached Featured article status while the English language version is merely a stub
Originally Requested by: ----JBellis 21:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Status: Very briefly started on its talk page, but it's harder and much longer than it looks (perhaps a bit too long). Maybe a shorter version would be more suitable. I still can't work out why there's such a long article on the Italian wiki and hardly anything on ours though. Terri G 17:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]; I'd go for the simplest explanation there: because someone wrote it. --Nehwyn 16:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other notes: I translated the first 3 points - but it's heavy reading and far too much Italian phrasing - someone need to look at it. I didn't translate the 'points that should be seen' as I feel it reads too much as a tourist bochure - if you disagree feel free to translate. Bug 17:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other notes: Copied from Pages needing translation into English:

The language of this article is Italian. Dina 13:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article on the topic already exists on the Italian Wikipedia. -Fsotrain₀₉ 21:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this seems to be merely a very slightly out-of-date version of the Italian Wikipedia article with useful pictures and info-boxes missing. (I didn’t check it word for word, but there was nothing obviously added.) Is the best thing to do simply to reduce it to an English-language stub with an interwiki link to it:Missaglia? —Ian Spackman 15:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree wtih Spackman. Any takers? Williamborg (Bill) 06:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at it again, I am a bit concerned that as the page stands it may be a copyvio. See this page on the Comune di Missaglia website: http://www.comune.missaglia.lc.it/cenni.php. —Ian Spackman 00:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, seems like it; I'm going to ask the question on it.wiki, maybe they didn't notice or the text is published under GFDL. --Εξαίρετος (
