@Macrakis: hi, since you have created the page, I think the following sentence can be improved (consider that I'm not a native English speaker): "The salami is made by grinding the lean meat while leaving the fatty parts in cubes, adding whole black peppercorns (some omit this), garlic powder, white wine from the Val Polcevera and salt, then stuffing by hand into natural casings and tying by hand." (I didn't write it). JacktheBrown (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown: What do you suggest as an improvement? By the way, discussion of articles normally happens on the article's talk page, not the editors' talk pages. --Macrakis (talk) 15:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Macrakis: would you prefer that I move the conversation to the article's talk page? However, among other things what I think needs to be changed is "while", which means 'mentre' in Italian; it's not a good word to use in this context. But maybe it has a different meaning in the sentence. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:08, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please move this thread.
You could translate that as "lasciando il grasso in pezzi", but if I'm not mistaken, it's also correct to say "mentre si lascia il grasso in pezzi"... or not? --Macrakis (talk) 17:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, "while" is perfectly good English. --Macrakis (talk) 17:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Macrakis: please don't change "References" to "Notes"; there's no point discussing it, and I changed it to "References" a long time ago, so it's consolidated. "Notes" is used especially when there are notes left in the article (example: Friuli-Venezia Giulia#Notes); in it.wiki it's different, but this is en.wiki.

The Notes/References thing is a detail, and I won't revert, because it's too trivial, but Wikipedia policy (quoted in the edit note) is clear that either one is allowed. Wikipedia policy also says that in cases of arbitrary choices like this or US/UK spelling, editors should respect the original choice, and not modify it, to avoid pointless edit wars. --Macrakis (talk) 17:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
