[edit]

Ah, the plot thickens. I don't really know enough about the development of missiles in themselves to take a look at those edits, but he seems to have wandered into maritime history, where so far he's made questionable edits. I fancy I am rather better informed about this field so I shall see what he has to say. But like it or not, he needs to provide sources, as at the moment, he is pushing POV disguised as 'recorded history', and calling my edits attempts to cover up the truth I suppose.

What is your opinion ? May I substitute them in the article? In order to improve our knowledge on this topic, which parts of these results you do not agree with?


First of all, there is a bit of a mix of styles, dating conventions and use of reference sources, let me start by first establishing one consistent bibliographical standard. I will be using the MLA (Modern Language Association) style guides. All of these examples will be treated as a group of sources and will be ordered alphabetically according to the first entry note (Author or title). The authors' names are identified as last name, first name(s) and separated by commas in name and periods from the rest of the record. MLA places the date of publication with the item not the author. Commonly, the style that is uitlized is: Author. Title(an exact title with capitalization left as written, and series titles and language of use is placed in brackets following the italicized or underlined title, BTW, underlining is now seen as passé and redundant, if an article within an anthology or encyclopedia is given, to separate the title from the main title, the title of the article is in quotation marks and the main source in italics). Place of Publication (major city and country if the location is a minor one): Publisher, Date of publication (with the latest edition date given, and allowance for variations to satisfy ordering and researching stipulations, usually ended by including an ISBN (international standard book number although these were only established after 1965 and not in widespread use until late in the 1960s and early 1970s) and at times, page references). Bearing all of these specifications in mind, this is what the examples (I have added one other to show how a source in another language would look) would look like in MLA style.

As to the use of images, the standard would be to have a representative aircraft illustrated as the infobox image and your use of a photograph of an Italian aircraft in an article on an Italian aircraft would be perfectly fitting.

EH101, could you look at the Cavour (550), and see if you can help me a sentence phrase? It looks like it was badly translated from Italian, but I can't make out what it is supposed to say. THe sentence is (bad phrase in bold): Cavour can operate as LPH, with 2 eliassault from 6 EH-101 each can land all marines. Thanks. - BillCJ 00:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Ambrosini

[edit]

Hi EH101 - let me think about this for a little while! Two problems that I see:

"Ambrosini SAI.xyz" seems to be the way that most English-language sources designate these aircraft, and that might influence our choice on en.wiki the way that it influences our choice on Japanese designations (ie, "Mitsubishi A6M", not the more usual Japanese designation "Mitsubishi Type 0 Carrier Fighter").

Also, in English usage, "Ambrosini SAI" is not used as a company name; the "company name" element of the designation is simply "Ambrosini". In English usage, "SAI" is a prefix to the model number, just like in "Messerschmitt Bf 109", or "Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21"; therefore "Ambrosini SAI.207 is a three-element name (manufacturer, prefix, number), not a two-element name (like Boeing 747 - manufacturer, number).

Tell me what you think... --Rlandmann (talk) 23:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To put it another way, then, to preserve the three-element name (manufacturer-prefix-number), if we follow your suggestion, we would have to make it "SAI Ambrosini SAI.xyz", which is cumbersome, as well as being unusual (I can't remember seeing this in print anywhere...)
As I think you know, in the Messerschmitt example, the Bf prefix does come from the (old) manufacturer name: Bayerische Flugzeugwerke. But if you prefer to use another example, think of the three-element name "Messerschmitt Me 262". --Rlandmann (talk) 01:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The other thing to consider is that we almost never use the manufacturer's full name. For example:

  • "Curtiss P-40", not "Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company P-40"
  • "Dorner Do 17", not "Dornier Werke Do 17"
  • "Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15", not "OKB Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15"

Practically every manufacturer has a short form of its name that is commonly used in English sources. For "Douglas Aircraft Company", the common short form is "Douglas"; and for "SAI Ambrosini", the common short form is "Ambrosini".

This suggests to me that "Ambrosini S.7" is correctly named; but if you're right about "SAI" never being an official prefix, we might need to think about changing "Ambrosini SAI.207" to "Ambrosini 207". I'd welcome any sources you can offer that show that the "SAI" prefix was never used. I'd be surprised if this was true, because this usage is extremely widespread. If the prefix was never used, we need to find out where this usage came from. --Rlandmann (talk) 22:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All that picture shows is that no prefix was painted on the fin of that particular aircraft (but was it printed, for example, on the instrument panel? Or in the pilot's manual? Or in the delivery paperwork? Or in the squadron paperwork? or in the Regia Aeronautica's accounting paperwork?)
The point is that the use of this prefix is extremely wide-spread: the majority of sources use it (including Jane's) and a quick Google shows that the prefix is common in Italian as well as in English. It must have come from somewhere, and for the purpose of our naming conventions, it really doesn't matter where it originally came from: just that it's consistently and widely used.
Do you know where using "SAI." as a prefix originated?
(PS: I note that the NASM uses "SAI" as the manufacturer and "S." as the prefix (ie, "SAI S.207", "SAI S.403"! Very strange!) --Rlandmann (talk) 20:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not disputing that the full name of the company is "SAI Ambrosini" - that's obviously true (but irrelevant to this discussion).

The question is over the use of "SAI." as a prefix: the practice is so widespread, that I'm certain that it must have some historical basis: non c'è fumo senza arrosto.

Another important thing for you to consider is that en.wiki has a very strict policy against "Original Research". This means that we do not attempt to make scholarly judgments: we simply follow the conventions that our sources use. I understand from the various problems with User:Stefanomencarelli some months ago that it.wiki does not have similar policies in place, and it's quite OK for editors to make their own assessments and analysis of the facts.

So I ask again: if it was never used historically (as you say), where did the use of "SAI." as a prefix originate? --Rlandmann (talk) 23:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your direct question (and maybe some more!) and forgetting the prefix issue for the moment:
The way we name things (not just aircraft) on en:wiki is based first and foremost on how English-language reference works (ie - secondary sources, not primary sources!) name that thing. I maintain that in English-language reference works, this manufacturer is consistently (almost universally) called simply "Ambrosini", and its products are also named accordingly. En:wiki is bound to follow that convention. For en:Wiki the "reliability rank" is #1 English-language books and #2 reliable English-language websites. I am making another trip to the library today to investigate further.
As I pointed out once before, if we accepted the logic that you have suggested, we would have to rename the Mitsubishi A6M to Mitsubishi Type 0 Carrier Fighter, which as I think you know, is its proper and correct designation from the Japanese government and Japanese Navy. We should also probably rename Messerschmitt Me 262 to simply 8-262, since that's how the Reichsluftfahrtministerium actually designated this plane.
One extra thing you should consider: practically all of the aircraft names we use (Company)-(Prefix)-(Number) are artificial names created by the publishing industry and not by governments or manufacturers.
So, where now? Basically, to have these aircraft renamed, you need to prove either:
  1. that English-language reference works (aviation encyclopedias, monographs, reliable websites) mostly use "SAI Ambrosini" as the (Company) element of the names of these aircraft or:
  2. that there is no consistency whatsoever amongst English-language reference works (aviation encyclopedias, monographs, reliable websites) about the (Company) element of the names of these aircraft; in which case we would need to look at what reference works in other languages (principally, of course, Italian) do. Of course, that still might not mean that "SAI Ambrosini" would be chosen for the (Company) element...
Over to you! :) --Rlandmann (talk)

Yes - the situation is very much like the Florentine church that you describe: en.wiki's naming policies are intended to locate information where it will be most familiar for native English speakers and most consistent with English-language sources.

It's interesting that you say that Italians will use "SIAI SF-260" with SIAI as the short form of the (Company) element; English language sources do not tend to do this - in English, this manufacturer is practically always "SIAI-Marchetti" (with no short form). So different languages behave differently.

Question: do any of your Italian sources directly mention this anomaly? I mean, do any of your books contain a phrase like "The SAI Ambrosini 207 (commonly but incorrectly called the Ambrosini SAI.207)"? There are certainly ways we could acknowledge this. --Rlandmann (talk) 21:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; didn't the S.S.4 also use a prefix?
There's no problem using the full name of the company in the infobox (or indeed for the article about the company).
Another question: what do you know about the Ambrosini company before it purchased SAI in 1934? --Rlandmann (talk) 23:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I promptly rerouted these questions to it.wiki aviation project. In the same time I will look up or buy some sources. Stay tuned. --EH101 (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fiat BR.20

[edit]

Hi EH (a little late but Happy New Year), I've just been looking at the BR.20 article and wondered if you might be able to clear something up for me: in the article it states that the prefix BR comes from "Bombardiere Rosatelli" after the name of its designer, but I have a ref that says "Bombardamento Rosatelli". Do you know which is correct? Cheers. --Red Suns and 20:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply EH101. I take your point about citing wrongly-translated or interpreted references; it does present a bit of a dilemma and I agree with all of your suggestions and comments. In the case of the BR.20 article it seems that the source used gives the correct (as you have kindly confirmed) "Bombardiere" explanation of the prefix; i.e. the original Italian version as applied to an Italian subject. However, if a widely-accepted but wrong or poor interpretation had been used ("Bombardamento"), I would place an additional footnote next to the first reference point to provide the correct interpretion of the originator's intended meaning. I admit that I should have consulted it.wiki on this occasion; even though I have no understanding of the Italian language I might have been able to pick out what I wanted to know.
In response to your comment about fostering an international approach to topics; the collaboration of even more minds should in theory lead to better-informed and more-complete articles, but it seems that other language wikis don't all adhere to precisely the same guidelines, which IMHO would unfortunately lead to problems in creating internationally-accepted articles, although each wiki could adapt each one to its own standards. I also sympathise with you regarding being able to understand accepted en.wiki practises and philosophies, it's not always easy for us native English speakers to do so and I still have a lot to learn myself! Thanks again. --Red Sunset 21:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me for butting in here: but this is actually quite a separate issue from the one we're discussing above. Naming is a tricky thing, and has its own conventions, but for straight statements of fact such as the meaning of the letters "B.R.",there's no problem, and en.wiki will happily follow the most reliable sources available, in whatever language it's published in. It's not a question of verifiability or even "correctness", only a question of convention.
The connection that you need to break in your mind is that "en.wiki article name"="official name" or ="original name". It isn't necessarily anything like that: only "en.wiki article name"="most familiar name for English-speakers".
This is not just about aircraft, it's also how we name countries (Germany, Japan, Italy - not Deutschland, Nippon, Italia) cities (Rome, Milan, Naples - not Roma, Milano, Napoli) and people (Bill Gates, Pliny the Younger, Confucius - not William Gates III, Gaius Plinius Caecilius, and K'ung-fu-tzu). You can read the relevant policy and its rationale here. I notice that it.wiki does the same thing, at least for people and places (Confucio, Londra, Germania). There have been some really horrible fights about this over the years - the one I best remember is whether we name the article Danzig or Gdansk?
I hope this helps to clarify the issue a little! --Rlandmann (talk) 01:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problems Rlandmann, butt in as much as you want; I'm always happy to be pointed in the right direction. I hadn't previously read your discussion with EH, but having now done so and taken in your latest comments, I think I have a better idea of the intricacies of wiki naming conventions. Cheers. --Red Sunset 21:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very good! Before doing bad moves, I thought it was better to double check correct rules interpretation. The field is quite mined, but with a good guideline we can come out. In fact, everything started when I asked for the better way to agree a naming standard. As Rlandmann suspected, in it.wiki too there are some standards agreed in naming and sources quoting. We there used the aviation project talk page for making consensus driven decisions on these topics. Here I see standards are more stable due to older age, but I think an improvement margin is still possible in some very specific matters. Thank you all for the support. --EH101 (talk) 21:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EH, could you look at http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeritalia, and see if there is anything translatable that we could use?

Hi again EH101 - I'm glad to see you back :)

My question is about the early history of Ambrosini: SAI was formed in 1934, and then very soon was purchased by the "Ambrosini industrial group" (as it is called in English). So far, I have been able to find nothing about this "Ambrosini industrial group". Does your new book tell you anything about Angelo Ambrosini's company before he bought SAI?

I look forward to the new pictures too! Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 22:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would look over some of the grammar and sentence construction for improvements but otherwise, post it and ask for the usual suspects to help develop the article further.

If I can be of any assistance please just ask! - Ahunt (talk) 02:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your lively notes there! I think that WWII "concept aircraft" that were not built are fine as articles, provided that there are good refs to support that the projects actually existed. If there are thre-views available then that is even better! We do now have a page at Wikipedia:Notability (aircraft) that gives some good guidance, basically allowing these as long as they are from an established aircraft manufacturer and were at least given a model number. I actually started one article on a WWII concept series of aircraft myself at Schweizer cargo glider designs.
As far as the new aircraft specs template goes, I have mostly been asking questions, lacking the expertise to help much! I agree that its automatic conversion of metric-imp or vice versa is a great time saver over manually calculating these! Using it is easy, just copy one version from the pull-downs at Template:Aircraft specs and fill in the blanks! It works pretty well, at least as long as you remember to specify the prime units at |prime units?=<!- imp or kts first for US aircraft, and UK aircraft pre-metrification, met(ric) first for all others. You MUST choose a format, or no specifications will show -> . If you find anything that isn't working right please do report it at Template talk:Aircraft specs and Trevor will probably fix it quite quickly. - Ahunt (talk) 13:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your query

[edit]

Hi EH101, I too have used the shortened form and tend to have Harvard citation style for entries, i.e. James 2001, p. 23. as the written out form. I know that a number of editors also use the cite template to achieve the same result, but I often have to go back into the bibliographic template and alter the coding to match the style.

it.wiki : Call for resignations

[edit]

Hi, I fully agree with this idea/proposal: meta:Wikimedia_Forum#Call_for_resignations, * [[1]].

The key point is that admins are no way allowed to apply censorship/denial of service to a part or to the whole Wikipedia without having previously:

  • fulfilled a poll to the users of the Wikipedia project
  • asked WMF for legal support and agreed about the proper thing to do

All the italian sysops that decided the motu proprio strike have betrayed the faith of the users who chose them as admins. We now have to get them resign their sysops status and, altogether, decide a proper guideline that every admin will be compelled to follow when dealing with hot topics such as the freedom of Wikipedia itself.

Jimbo, I understand that - dealing with italian law and politics - you support the italian style action of dramatic blanking. I don't understand why you agree with the fact that this blanking has been done without consensus: (1) Italian editors have not been proposed any poll, (2) WMF has not been asked any suggestion nor legal support. Please be sure that admins of local projects, in the future, will no more be able to perform such a denail of service without consensus with editors and WMF. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 14:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
I am told that this was not a small group of admins, that it was discussed for a long time, and that there was strong support. However, having said that, I agree with you that in the future process should be much clearer, and actions like this should be taken in coordination with the Foundation and the wider community. One reason for that is so that we can time it to have maximum impact, give solid PR support from the Foundation, etc. This has never happened before, and we had no warning, so, you know, it's a little complicated.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:13, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

and moreover

I had a question about issue actually. I've been having a very hard time understanding how a process of discussion that even remotely resembles consensus building around this issue could have occurred while no one outside of the Italian Wikipedia was aware of it. It's just not possible unless the Italian Wikipedia is no bigger than a dozen editors. So in what manner exactly was this "under discussion in the Italian community for months," as Jimbo says? Like I said, I'm having a hard time understanding that, and maybe Jimbo or someone from the Italian Wiki can shed light on this.Griswaldo (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
These are good questions and I'm sure clear light will be shed on them in due course. I would love it if you would go and ask them and then report back here what you learn.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Talking ad Jimbonem is only a strong suggestion, but please get in touch and let's start a proper democratic - horizontal process where we will decide proper guidelines and proper reaction to this shameful event. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Military Historian of the Year

[edit]

Nominations for the "Military Historian of the Year" for 2011 are now open. If you would like to nominate an editor for this award, please do so here.

On behalf of the coordinators, Nick-D (talk) and Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC) You were sent this message because you are a listed as a member of the Military history WikiProject.[reply]


Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

[edit]

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CAMEN had nuclear reactor just for research,so qualitative developement.The quantitative developement of the italian nuke was naturally in Trino Vercellese and Latina that was the largest nuclear plant is 60's in Europe.EH101 (s o is named the helicopter) i don't know how much you know about Parliamentary Acts but CAMEN had officially that aim.Till 1975 Italy never denied to have produced its own nukes.It could even own then (as many people today believe)after their production before than 1975.My father was in SIOS so i think to know vey well the matter.The functions of CAMEN were those that were descrepted.The rest of the contest is another thing.From 1963 to 1975 italy could have produced all nukes it liked.Parla con me per ben interpretare le FUNZIONI ed il contesto..are 2 different things about the Parliamentary Acts that I have just received from the Chamber of Deputies. You have interpreted the context of 69 very much but not the functions that had been there for years before. In 5- 6 or more years Italy can have built all the atomics it wanted. Only on 75 did it cease. But that and eventually built before 75? There is state secret. 151.40.49.133 ( talk ) 15:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
