Your question on the Help desk

Hey Salvo. I don't want you to get the feeling that I'm having a go at you; I'm not. I just feel that wasting too much time worrying about userboxes and the like detracts from what should be our central goal of building an encyclopedia. You may not be aware that there has been some controversy about userboxes on en: lately. You can see a brief mention of it here under "userboxes start controversy".

I want to distinguish between the Babel boxes (strictly language codes only) and the Userboxes (any other facts or interests of a user). For the Babel boxes, I really think it is best that you stick to the en: system here. For the userboxes, well, go nuts. But really, the easiest way to make them is described in detail on Wikipedia:Userboxes. I strongly recommend that you study that page. You will see that {{User queer}} is probably very similar to the first one you have listed on your it: page.

But on the whole, I have to say, en: is not winning any prettiness awards among the 'pedias. de: also has much more tasteful templates than en:. I don't know why English speaking people insist on having such garish templates. :)

Requesting short translation

I'm working on translating a biography from Italian to English, in order to write a featured article. If possible, can you please translate just this paragraph:

Vedesi tuttavia che nulla nè allora nè dopo, ei ricavò da Chiapino, al quale già nella epistola dedicatoria, data d'Anghiari il 10 dicembre 1550, annunziava la sua istante partenza, dal luogo nativo. Aggiungerò che, a quanto pare, l'autore, stesso non fece poscia alcun caso di, questa sua letteraria fatica; mentre, solito qual'è di fare qua e là menzione, delle varie sue opere, di questa sola si tace ovunque, se non che nella dedica della Fortificazione al Re di Spagna, poichè la circostanza vi si prestava (ma ad un tempo quasi scusandosene), dice di avere scritto que'canti sin dalla mia (quasi dirò) fanciullezza; e volle dire in gioventù, poichè quando nel 1543 accadde la guerra contro i Duchi di GhelAria e di Clèves, che forma il soggetto del poema, doveva l'autore contare circa i ventitre anni o poco meno.

Thanks for your help :) — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-14 05:11

Jennylyn Mercado

Salvo46, I caught Kakarugkarug vandalizing yet another page here in Wikipedia. He did it again with Jennylyn Mercado's page. I fixed the problem myself by reverting the page to its older edit. It's about time we come down hard on that user and give him/her the appropriate punishment for senseless vandalism.

Friedrich Kellner

I hope you can help me, please. I translated the Friedrich Kellner article into Italian using an automatic translator. A few people in Italy helped to correct the first half of the article, but there are still approximately 700 words that need to be double-checked. I have placed the text on my user page at this site: Rskellner. Would have some time to look at that page and help me improve the Italian? I would greatly appreciate it. I notice you are at the University of Toronto. A Toronto producer just made a documentary about the Friedrich Kellner diary. Thank you, Scott (Dr. Robert Scott Kellner, College Station, Texas)--Rskellner 23:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I won't have to trouble you after all. To my pleasant surprise, the translation has now been finished by someone from Italy. Thank you anyways. Scott --Rskellner 17:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Hancock / Hobag

Hi Salvo, I think you'll find the addition of Hobag, MA. was a "funny" joke.

Speedy deletion nomination of Provident Bank of New York

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Provident Bank of New York requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Chris857 (talk) 02:18, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation of Villa Annoni

Hi, are you available to translate this article https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Annoni from Italian into English? There are a lot of American tourists coming to Cuggiono to see the Villa and I think it would be helpful to have an article in their mother tongue. --DelicateAloe (talk) 16:50, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to Join WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia

Hi Salvo46! I am Galendalia and I have revived the WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia. I noticed that you signed up at some point to be a participant and as I am reviving this project, one of my tasks is to get the participant list in order. Would you please go to the Participants List and add your name and language(s) you speak? If you are already there and do not want to be, please move yourself to the inactive list at the bottom of the page. If you want to remain, please put remain next to your name (this way you are not moved). If I do not see anything from you by May 30, 2020, I will move you to the inactive participant list. It would also be great if you would be willing to join the task force for Pronunciation that would be awesome, as there are troublesome words we run into.

Thank you for considering joining us. If you decide to leave, I will be sad to see you leave as so many people have done a great job on the recordings and any work you have done makes a significant difference.
