Andalò del Negro

Can somebody please translate the Italian language article into English and add the sources, too? Thousands of thanks in advance. Bearian (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will try! Italian is my native language and it wouldn't be my first time translating an article. But a quick search online made me understand that there aren't a lot of informations about Andalò del Negro, and only Treccani (which is a reliable source) has written a lot about him. Anyways, I'll see what I can do ASAP! DrefromItaly (talk) 23:25, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Active?

I came to ask a question about a draft with lots of Italian references, but I see only two active members listed. One has not edited since 2017 and the other is not very active. Wondering if this project is still monitored? CNMall41 (talk) 05:40, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New draft submission: Civic nobility in the Papal States’ March of Ancona

Hello everyone,

I’ve recently submitted a new draft for review: Draft:Civic nobility in the Papal States' March of Ancona. It examines the civic nobility (urban patriciates) of the Papal States’ March of Ancona between the 16th and 18th centuries — focusing on the oligarchic regimes that monopolised municipal magistracies and their long-term continuity under Papal rule.

The article is fully sourced to modern scholarship (Zenobi 1994; Cherubini 1981; Berengo 1965; Chittolini 2004) and follows the English Wikipedia style for historical topics. Any feedback or early review from members of WikiProject Italy would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, — User:Sivigliano Sivigliano (talk) 18:24, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Search in Italian?

Hi! I was wondering if someone could do a search for sourcing for Diego Valeri (poet). The article is up for AfD and so far everything I'm finding points towards him being a notable person, it's just that sourcing doesn't leap out quite as easily as I'd like. I think a lot of sourcing is probably going to be in Italian and in places that aren't super Google Translate friendly. Can someone search for sourcing and add it to the article, if it is indeed out there? If anyone is feeling ambitious, the Italian Wikipedia article is much more meaty than the one on here. I could probably translate that since I could use a machine translation to handle the bulk of things, but I'm also aware that it's not a perfect translation.

Draft article for review: Passatore sailboat (Italian design and craftsmanship)

Dear all,

I would like to let you know about a draft currently waiting for review: Draft:Passatore.

This article is an English translation of the existing Italian Wikipedia page about the Passatore, a wooden sailboat model built in Cervia in the 1970s.

It was one of the first Italian sailboats produced in series and represents an important example of the craftsmanship and boatbuilding tradition of the Romagna region.

The name of the boat refers to “Il Passatore,” a well-known 19th-century Italian brigand, later romanticized in literature as Il Passator cortese.

I would really appreciate your opinions and, if possible, a review.

Thank you very much! -- Palco10 (talk) 12:30, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New article: Alberto Forchielli

Hello, I've created a new article on Alberto Forchielli, a biography of a living person (BLP), translated from the current, accepted Italian Wikipedia page (it:Alberto Forchielli). This new version is based on current notability and sourcing, which resolves the concerns from the 2017 deletion. Feedback is welcome. Thanks! Digressivo (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Armorial of Italy

This article is completely unreferenced. If the project could help source this that would be great. Best.4meter4 (talk) 15:14, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
