Talk:Dario Fo

MISSING TEXT
The vandalism to Creative Inspiration by (vandal deleter 81.158.200.199), hasn't been reverted. There seems to be a problem with the updating of the page, as a large chunk of deleted text (Vision Of A Golden Rump, etc) is still missing. Someone needs to fix this. The page won't revert back to before 81.158.200.199 appeared on the scene.

Dario Fo's picture also seems to have disappeared. There must be a technical fault with this page, that Wikipedia need to correct, maybe a bug. -

No mention of 'Mum's Marijuana is Best'written in Milan in about 1976 at the request of concerned parents. ............

Names of Plays
I've only ever seen the play down here as ''We Can't Pay? We Won't Pay! advertised as the snappier Can't Pay? Won't Pay!'', so I'm going to change it. If anyone has the Italian titles to add to the article that might clear up some ambiguity. Chaikney 13:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There is more than one translation of that particular play into English, and different translators have rendered the title differently.IanThal 23:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The title of ''Can't Pay? Won't Pay! is actually Non Si Paga! Non Si Paga!'', which translates literally into "We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!" So I'll change it in the interest of accuracy.

Creative Inspiration?
Most of this section as it is now written is completely irrelevent to Fo's work. How do any of these works connect with Fo?IanThal 10:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I guess Dario Fo's work has inspired the whole genre of political satire, and that's the point of this. Dario Fo was a pioneer in political theatre, thus, others have followed. Listing other artists who are inspired by such great works as Accidental Death Of An Anarchist, is a relection of the universality of the character and plot manifestations of Dario Fo, thus the Creative Inspiration section seems to serve a useful purpose, and arguably, should remain.

Tarocchi di Dario Fo
Should it be mentioned that he created a Tarot deck? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lily20 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

"The proletarian classes"? Really?
That's not really a mainstream-English way of describing what I assume is meant (in the US anyway, and I'm not sure I've seen that in British writing). How about "working class"? AdRock (talk) 13:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Fo campaigned for mayor of Milan in 2006, finishing in second place.
He got the second place, yes, but in the primary elections for the centre-left coalition.

"Near the end of the war, Fo was a volunteer in the paratroopers of the Republic of Salò" ???
I've zero knowledge about Dario Fo, but the sentence "Near the end of the war, Fo was a volunteer in the paratroopers of the Republic of Salò" is at odd with the rest of the text (that he hid not to be conscripted, etc.) and with his political opinions. it's not supported by any ref. I'm adding a "ref required", but could someone verify this ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farialima (talk • contribs) 09:29, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, I ended up doing the revert myself, I have enough certainty about it (even if the article from the Independent is not available anymore). Feel free to remove this section from the "talk" page, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do it. Farialima (talk) 09:42, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The quote given with the ref says he was conscripted. Refs to newspaper articles do not have to be linked to be valid. Span (talk) 12:22, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing?
I've just removed the "diversionary and trivial" wording while copy editing (before seeing the above note) -- did anyone with access to the Mitchell source ever look into the close paraphrasing issue noted in the GA review? Espresso Addict (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
