Ciao, ho visto che sulla voce in oggetto hai aggiunto un testo come Bibliografia, ma come a pagina di riferimento hai messo "???". Questa cosa non va bene. Cioe' significa che non conosci la pagina del libro, ma allora come fai ad inserirlo in bibliografia? Pertanto o rimuovi la bigliografia o metti la pagina. (Al limite non mettere nulla...).

Ciao!

Non penso che il wikilink a Barbacane sia corretto, quella voce è relativa sì all'architettura ma a una fortificazione, per cui per il momento l'ho tolto.

Hai ragione era proprio Magone Sannita. Se tu volessi provare a comporre questa voce, te ne sarei grato :-) Sono dietro anche a comporre due nuove cartine per l'assedio di Capua (211 a.C.) ;-) Grazie mille.

Questa era una frase che avevo erroneamente inserito in Magone Barca. Andrebbe inserita nella nuova voce da creare: "Nel 212 a.C. Magone il Sannita riuscì ad attirare in un'imboscata in Lucania, nei pressi di Benevento, il proconsole Tiberio Sempronio Gracco, che morì sconfitto in battaglia.^[1] Poco dopo attaccò con 2.000 cavalieri, in un'azione di disturbo, le armate consolari nei pressi di Capua, riuscendo ad uccidere più di 1.500 Romani.^[2]"

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Wikidata by country, or: The Wealth of Nation's Data
  • Wikidata the Game - one year in
  • Ongoing: GLAM-Wiki 2015
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Build a RSS image feed based on a query
  • Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
  • ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
  • Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
  • Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
  • Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
  • Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
  • Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
  • New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
  • New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
• Development
  • We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
  • Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
  • Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
  • Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
  • Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
  • Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
  • Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
  • Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
  • Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
  • Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
• Monthly Tasks
  • Hack on one of these.

Ciao, ho visto che non hai ancora votato e ti segnalo che sono rimaste poche ore per votare alle elezioni FDC (informazioni): c'è tempo fino alla mezzanotte. È importante votare perché hanno partecipato pochi utenti della Wikipedia in italiano e gli eletti andranno a controllare la distribuzione, fra l'altro, delle donazioni effettuate da italiani vedendo i banner nella Wikipedia in italiano (oltre un milione di dollari l'anno).

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • German language Wikipedia closed its RfC on usage of Wikidata data. As a result Wikidata data can be used on the project as long as it happens through a template and it has a non-Wikimedia reference.

  • More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for deployment. They'll improve constraint checking and provide checks against 3rd party databases.

Ciao! Ci sarebbe un problema con il titolo della voce che hai creato... In casi di omonimia fra persone si inserisce tra parentesi, in minuscolo, la professione o l'attività principale. Qualora si verifichino ulteriori corrispondenze, è possibile indicare le date di nascita e morte, separate da un trattino senza spazi, o solo la data di nascita, se la persona è vivente. In questo caso si potrebbe ridenominare entrambe le voci in Marcello Crescenzi (cardinale XVI secolo) e Marcello Crescenzi (cardinale XVIII secolo), in analogia, ad esempio, alle voci Giovanni Colonna (cardinale XIII secolo), Giovanni Colonna (cardinale XIV secolo) e Giovanni Colonna (cardinale XV secolo). Cosa ne pensi? --FeltriaUrbsPicta (msg) 02:00, 15 lug 2015 (CEST)[rispondi]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-07-15T00:00:00.000Z","author":"FeltriaUrbsPicta","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-FeltriaUrbsPicta-2015-07-15T00:00:00.000Z-Marcello_Crescenzi","replies":[]}}-->

Ciao Yukio, forse sono stato precipitoso nella modifica e me ne dispiaccio: è quindi opportuno che tu modifichi le righe "incriminate" come ritieni meglio fare. Ti segnalo questo http://ww2gravestone.com/people/heye-hellmuth-guido-alexander/ che mi pare un interessante socumento sulla vita e la carriera del nostro. Ho aggiunto nell'incipit della voce la paternità del biografato. A presto e buona giornata.--Paolobon140 (msg) 09:50, 15 lug 2015 (CEST)[rispondi]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-07-15T07:50:00.000Z","author":"Paolobon140","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Paolobon140-2015-07-15T07:50:00.000Z-Re:_Hellmuth_Heye","replies":[]}}-->
