I'm italian, and the articol is wrong many times... --81.208.83.244 (talk) 20:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised that there's no mention of "duce". 76.95.40.6 (talk) 20:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this page is linked from at least one disambiguation page, but there is no mention here of a form of address abbreviated "Rag." Does anyone know what that represents ? I wonder if possibly some info has been deleted, without the links being removed.
I hope that one or more of you native speakers of Italian will take the time to correct the errors you see. Criticism is fine, if it leads to a better encyclopedia, but please take the next step, or at least be specific about the errors, so that they will be addressed.Rags (talk) 20:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Point of this article?

[edit]

I fail to see any "encyclopedic" value to this article. It's not like titles for various industries/fields (w/e you want to call them) only apply to Italy and Italians. This article talks about academic degrees, religious and military hierarchy,... these are all things that exist and are present in societies throughout the world. All this stuff could be merged into more important articles that could be enhanced by this information.

Looking at this page, it seems that some fellow decided to jumble up a bunch of things to create an article in a category that has very little informational value, except in point-form.

And if this article is so important, why is there no Italian version?? This article was written by someone whose own mother-tongue is not English and this transpires within the quality of the article. The format of this article is poor. It should be rewritten or deleted altogether.

Quid pro quo: because I don't know that Senatore means Senator... However, I don't necessarily understand that Maestro means a Masters Degree (when it is in fact equal to that) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.29.12 (talk) 02:23, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, being curious, and mostly quite ignorant of Italian honors and forms of address, I find the article quite informative, and ultimately just the sort which belongs in this encyclopedia. Maybe the article has improved that much in almost 6 years. Or perhaps you were just having a bad day?Rags (talk) 20:17, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The original article, posted 23August2006 I find to be, though far less verbose, more informative in the particulars of Italian forms of address. There are a few hiccups in the English, which can easily be tweaked, and no doubt were almost immediately, even in 2006. I shudder to think what an article I attempted to create on it.Wikipedia might look like, especially to a native speaker. None of us is fluent in every language. That should not proscribed his sharing of information, especially in a crowd-sourced venue. Get over yourself.
I have created a Sandbox, where I have copied the original article, among my userpages, "/Italian_honorifics", and I will do the due diligence as I have time, to see what argument was made when the material was deleted. It seems to be possible to create a Talk page for a Sandbox, but I think that might be a bit much. If anyone cares to comment, this page would probably be more appropriate. Not that there has been a lot of traffic here in almost 10 years.Rags (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder also what "in point form" could possibly mean (in the preceding comment). As this is an anonymous IP, making 3 comments on one day and then no further"contributions" for almost 6 years, I doubt that I shall learn. As far as why there is no Italian article, I would like to draw an analogy. Yesterday I visited de.wiki, looking to confirm information about an early psychology investigator. En.wiki has an article for him. Possibly fr.wiki also may, I haven't checked. Those are the two largest of the encyclopedias, largest ever attempted in human history. It's quite possible that the man may have a page in future. Or not. "A prophet in his own land," etc. But along with being a much smaller encyclopedia, it.wiki quite probably would think of an article on Italian forms of address as redundant, being learned at the breast, so to speak. I can tell you that where I live, the information is far from handy. Last year, or the year before, an editor put a lot of time and expertise into a posting of the flags of the world, including graphics, rules for construction, display and handling, etc. A beautiful effort, with an excellent results, imo. Deleted. Someone wasn't interested in flags, and this is an example of "being bold" in the worst sense. That creator no longer contributes to Wikipedia, and I can't blame him.Rags (talk) 21:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
