User talk:Davide41

I see your response includes blanking previous notices.
Hi, Davide41,

I see you say that you are in Italy. I suppose you are not a native speaker of English. It is perfectly okay to edit articles on any language version of Wikipedia, and I respect your opinion, but editing still has to leave the article looking like an encyclopedia article. Especially, articles about living persons have to be very carefully sourced. If you disagree with Richard Lynn, you can help the article about him become better by finding sources that disagree with his ideas, citing those sources, and rewriting the article to express what those sources say. I would consider such edits constructive edits and would be happy to help you with those as a native speaker of English.

It was your last few edits (diffs) in a series of ten edits that I saw when I reverted those edits. Because those edits were on the talk page rather than the article page (as I first thought at first glance), I will restore those edits, and then invite you to discuss further how the article should be editedwhich is what the article talk page is for. Let's discuss sources and discuss neutral point of view calmly. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 20:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I think I have found a source that shows that Lynn's book is based on bad data-gathering.
It should be possible to find sources that show that Lynn's book is not based on good data. I have found such a source for his data on Africa. I have many articles to edit, but I hope to edit that article soon, and I hope to see you in the discussion there. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 13:21, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

List of Puerto Ricans.
You posted the following in the "talk page": "Great work. The Best List On Wikipedia. --User:Davide41"


 * And I say to you, thank you for your comments from all of us who manage that list. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Be careful with your changes.
Hi Davide, please be careful with your data changes. Pavese's book Il Compagno came out in 1947 not 1948. Please use edit summaries to explain why you have made a change. Thank you. Span (talk) 17:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries. Best wishes Span (talk)

Talk pages.
I'm removing some stuff by you and CN. I was wondering about socks, but see Sockpuppet investigations/Colon-el-Nuevo/Archive. Dougweller (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


Davide41, are you on wikipedia to add sources or to delete sources? I see that in your "idea" of who Columbus was you have added everybody and their mother who ever said Columbus and Genoa in one sentence. What about the others who wrote something different are their words less important?Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 15:51, 17 December 2010 (UTC)


 * You're both at WP:3RR I think. Maybe you'd better take it to the talk page. Dougweller (talk) 16:05, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Primary sources.
Please stop discussing primary sources with colon-el-nuevo. Wikipedia articles should rely on secondary sources - any further discussion of primary sources is likely to in flame the discussion with Colon-el-nuevo. Please just ignore him. If he continues to disrupt after this short block expires I will block him again, but only if you have not provoked him by continuing discussion of primary sources. You don not need to keep defending the genoese theory - every one who is not fanatically invested in a particular alternative theory already knows that this is the vas majority consensus. Just keep working on improving the article while ignoring disruptive elements. ·Maunus· ƛ · 15:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Warning per WP:ARBMAC.
The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose, at their own discretion, sanctions on any editor working on pages broadly related to the Balkans if the editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. The committee's full decision can be read at Requests for arbitration/Macedonia. This warning is issued due to your edit warring and POV pushing at Giulio Clovio as reported at ANI. You may be able to avoid sanctions if you will agree to wait for consensus before making any further edits to this article. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Giulio Clovio

(b Grisone [Grizane], Croatia, 1498; d Rome, 3 Jan 1578). Italian painter and illuminator of Croatian birth. The most important illuminator of the 16th century, he was a 'Michelangelo of small works', according to Vasari. Many of his documented works are dispersed or untraced, and some attributions are controversial, but his secure oeuvre gives a clear idea of his stylistic influences and development. Although much of his inspiration came from Raphael and Michelangelo, he developed his own visual language, brilliantly translating their monumental forms for work on the smallest scale.
