FC Internazionale Milano
Hi. You asked which is correct "Inter have won" or "Inter has won". I'm not sure which is correct. In American English it would be "has", but in British English it would be "have". When dealing with American vs. British English we look first to see if the subject has a strong tie to one country or the other. In this case it doesn't. After that we see which English variant was used first in the article then use that. This requires going through the history of the article and figuring it out. I haven't done this and don't feel particularly inclined to do so, but if you want to then please do so. Or perhaps you can come up with a different way to phrase it in order to avoid the issue altogether. SQGibbon (talk) 07:21, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Merging articles
Dipralb, you don't need any special permission to merge the articles you posted at Proposed mergers. Simply:
 * 1) Copy and paste the content,
 * 2) Make the source article a redirect, by replacing its content with #REDIRECT articlename
 * 3) Then place the template merged-to and merged-from on each talk page so that future editors know the articles were merged.

Thanks, D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

I forgot something. When you merge articles, be sure to include "Merge in foo" in the edit summary for the destination, and put "Redirect after merge to bar" in the edit summary for the source page. Thanks, D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:12, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

L'Orologiaio"
Caro Dipralb, io ti apprezzavo molto sulla wikipedia italiana, ma avevo già molti dubbi circa riuscissi veramente a capire l'italiano che è la lingua a noi due comune in tutte le mie talk che ti ho scritto. Arrivare a fare quell'errore sulla pagina inglese mi ha fatto cadere i c. per terra. Io almeno 6 anni di inglese in una scuola commerciale li ho fatti... ma tu arrivare a chiedere di tradurre "Orologiaio" imvece di "Orologio" è veramente il massimo.....--Nipas (talk) 00:20, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Quando ti avevo chiesto la mail per inviati qualcosa (non l'ho mai ricevuta, oppure l'ho cancellata) sarebbe servita anche per mandarti la scansione di una delle 3 cartoline che l'anno scorso mi omaggiò il caro amico Luigi La Rocca (quello del libro del centenario del Milan edito dalla Panini). E li non puoi sbagliarti: è Ristorante "Orologio" (senza l'articolo). Ma a quanto pare tu le mail su it.wikipedia non le sai leggere visto che chi ti ha linkato un sito dove è stato scritto nel modo esatto non l'hai minimamente preso in considerazione (te l'avevo detto io....).--Nipas (talk) 00:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

New Inter RM
Hey man, I think it's a little too soon after the last one to be thinking about opening a new move discussion. Maybe in a month or so. – PeeJay 22:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

History of Internazionale redirects
I don't really see a problem with having multiple directs. I assume one previously redirected to the other, and now they both redirect to the main page. – PeeJay 11:38, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Inter Milan
Hi there, Dipralb. I noticed that you recently removed some content from the stadium-section of Inter Milan without explaining why. It would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary in the future. I reverted your change, but feel free to revert me if you think I did a mistake, as long as you include an edit summary. Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 10:54, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Canvassing
Please have a read of WP:CANVASS. It is absolutely not OK to notify only editors who you think will support your viewpoint of a discussion. Not only is this poor form, if you continue to do it it can result in a block and it actually hurts your chances in the RM because the closing admin will take it into account and it will weigh against your 'side'. Jenks24 (talk) 12:02, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Unless you immediately notify all editors involved in the previous RM with a neutral note about the latest RM I will report you to WP:ANI. Your selective canvassing to advance your position is reprehensible. You can redress the balance as suggested in the final section of WP:VOTESTACKING. Leaky  Caldron  12:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I will not. It is your responsibility and I find your explanation about canvassing as weak as your argument for the name change. You have been making noises on user talk pages about this matter since the change last year so it is no surprise to me that you have now contacted users to assist your position. WP:ANI will take a dim view and I suggest you notify others to redress the balance asap. Leaky  Caldron  12:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It is not really about numbers. WP:CANVASSING & WP:VOTESTACKING suggests that all users involved in a previous discussion might be informed. You could ask whether this is appropriate on the Inter Milan talk page as part of the RM. I would also point out that while you support the RM you have stated in the discussion that the name change should be "F.C. Internazionale" which is not the RM. You cannot sensibly support the RM if you think it should be something else.  Leaky  Caldron  12:49, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think you've comprehended a single word of the 6 pieces of policy guidance I have repeatedly quoted. This is the ENGLISH Wikipedia, not the Italian. "Internazionale" is not an English word. Inter Milan is not typically referred to in English speaking sources as "F.C. Internazionale". The title must reflect accepted use in the ENGLISH language. That is the required policy, not your preferred Italian version. Leaky  Caldron  16:46, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

another thing......
I noticed that you have posted comments in a language other than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia, please always use English, no matter to whom you address your comments. This is so that comments may be comprehensible to the community at large. If the use of another language is unavoidable, please provide a translation of the comments.

Hello, I'm Qed237. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Shkodran Mustafi without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

DC Extended Universe
I have restored the page to what it was prior to your deletions of information. You cannot delete info without citing reasons, and discussing why you are doing so. Each of the movies listed in the 'In development' section are any of the projects that at this point in time are in some form of production development. The studio is slow to release information and so it is simply a chart to show films that the studio has announced and their current/most recent crew members. For example - we know that Matt Reeves is directing and 'has a story figured out', but as far as we know without any press release from the studio, he has reworked Ben Affleck & Geoff John's story treatment and there is no official screenwriter yet. Anyway, please do not delete info without cause or reason. Thank you. --DisneyMetalhead (talk) 16:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Stefan de Vrij, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Transfer is sourced in the article. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

F.C. Internazionale Milano RM
There's always the possibility of a new RM, I just don't think it would do any good. The idiots got their way when the article was moved to Inter Milan, and now they don't see any good reason to move it back. The club may not refer to themselves by that name, but there are plenty of third-party sources that do, and that's what matters. If the article were still at F.C. Internazionale Milano, I don't think there would be a good reason to move it anywhere else, but that's not the situation we're in, and I can't find an overriding reason to change the status quo right now. – PeeJay 16:58, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The trouble with appealing to WP:NC is that Inter Milan fits just as many of the criteria as F.C. Internazionale Milano. "Inter Milan" fits the recognizability, naturalness, precision and conciseness criteria, while "F.C. Internazionale Milano" fits recognizability and consistency (and perhaps arguably a couple of others). The guideline you really want to cite is Naming conventions (sports teams), which says that the official name should be used, provided it is at least used to a certain degree in the English-language media. Do you think we have a good case? Also, User:GiantSnowman, what do you think? – PeeJay 17:16, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it should be moved back - otherwise we will end up with teams at Man Utd and Sporting Lisbon etc and it's sloppy. GiantSnowman 18:37, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Cool, I've opened an RM at Talk:Inter Milan. – PeeJay 19:29, 28 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Been meaning to message you since the RM ended. Yet again we have a "no consensus" result, which is an absolute nonsense considering the travesty of the original RM. Out of interest, User:GiantSnowman, I noticed that you originally voted for the article to be moved to Inter Milan - what made you change your mind? – PeeJay 14:39, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Radja Nainggolan
Hello there, from Portugal,

sorry for not writing to you before, but I reverted you so many times in this player's article because: 1 - the part of him smoking should not be removed, he's a top level athlete and his habits are not "in line" with his profession; 2 - Inter Milan should go in his career summary in intro, because he has already signed - when the 2018/19 season ends, we will update the number of appearances.

Happy editing --Quite A Character (talk) 08:29, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Inter Milan
See Use commonly recognisable names. Internazionale Milano is not common among English speakers, Inter Milan is almost universally used. In an English Wikipedia we use the most common terminology to English speakers. F8RIL (talk) 16:12, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Further, we don’t say Milano for Milan either, hence the term Milan is used throughout. F8RIL (talk) 16:14, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * It’s not common to use Internationale, or Milano. The first name on the English language Google search engine for the club is Inter Milan. Italian language is a different story. F8RIL (talk) 16:26, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Do English speakers say Bayern Munich or München? You clearly don’t speak English (as your first language) with your comments. Google search engine, the club first appears as Inter Milan. F8RIL (talk) 16:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you know why the club appears as "Inter Milan" on Google? It's because Google takes a lot of info from Wikidata, and the club's name (correctly or otherwise) on Wikidata is Inter Milan, and the reason for that is because the Wikipedia article also has that name. – PeeJay 14:35, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. I don’t see why Inter Milan is an issue though. Perhaps for an Italian? it seems odd that the team you know as Internazionale Milano is more broadly known in the English speaking world by its ‘nickname’ as you put it? In all my years following the sport I’ve know them as Inter Milan (Inter for short), from tv shows, newspapers etc. F8RIL (talk) 20:12, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges.
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * Please be aware of WP:POINT in the English wikipedia. Your edits could be considered in breach of this as you are fully well aware that the English WP has restated for the 4th time that the name of the club is Inter Milan for the English WP. Introducing the Italian non-English alternative name in spite of that recent decision and your justification for it appears to be an attempt to make a WP:POINT. Leaky  Caldron  16:49, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that you have posted Italian language variant to the pages of many recent articles in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English, especially where that has been decided in a policy based decision as with Inter Milan earlier this week. Do not add native Italian to English language articles when the decision to leave the article name as English for the fourth time. I appreciate that English is not your native language, but you are quite capable of following formal Admin. decisions. Leaky Caldron  11:16, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: 2019–20 U.S. Città di Palermo season
Hello Dipralb, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of 2019–20 U.S. Città di Palermo season, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article is about a season, not the club itself, so A7 does not apply. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 00:26, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Palmares Lukaku
Ciao! Posso chiederti un piacere? Puoi modificare la parte Palmares di Lukaku nella pagina inglese? Dovresti aggiungere la FA Cup 2011-2012 che ha vinto con il Chelsea. Vorrei farlo io ma mi dice che la pagina è bloccata per evitare vandalismi (non capisco perché altri hanno modificato lo stesso). Precisione1982 (talk) 20:23, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

2019–20 Manchester United F.C. season
What info do you think the table is missing? All I see is opposition goalscorers (irrelevant) and referees (rejected by editors a couple of years ago). The footballbox collapsible template takes up far more space and isn't as easy to read, and in fact removes the league position after each game. I see no benefit to this change. – PeeJay 22:49, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Inter Milan. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I have done so for you this time, but hope you will follow best practices yourself next time.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~  S Philbrick  (Talk)  12:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
