Talk:Italian cruiser Lombardia

Sourcing
Regarding the movement of sources from the to the main body of the article and the inclusion of more details about the class there, see this discussion at Talk:Italian cruiser Umbria and the DYK nomination discussion there. (Most importantly, note that repeated inclusion of inappropriate sourcing in the lead could impair the page's continued GA status.) — Llywelyn II   11:48, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Sources in the lead are perfectly fine. Please actually read WP:LEAD. Parsecboy (talk) 12:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Italian 'China station'
Presumably, the Italian concession at Tianjin is what was intended here but (without more discussion and sourcing) I'm not 100% on that. If the Lombardia was actually deployed to friendly ports as part of a roving "China station", the added links could be removed but should be replaced by improved links or discussion of just what Italy's "China station" consisted of in 1901. — Llywelyn II   11:52, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * China station is a term (usually reserved for the RN, but applicable to other nations as well) that refers to East Asian waters, primarily off China. Parsecboy (talk) 12:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Regioni class
As to the number of members of the Regioni class, the Italian Ministry of Defense (which would presumably know) says there were 7. This is probably something to take up at Talk:Regioni-class cruiser but, regardless of how the discrepancy is resolved, it should probably be noted on the ship pages in some fashion. — Llywelyn II   11:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * No, Calabria was not a member of this class of ships. The Italian MoD website is A: a primary source, and B: wrong. Please stop this nonsense. Parsecboy (talk) 12:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
