• Cacciatore – source n. 3: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 09:07, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
• Cambridge Community Kitchen - Currently just a sandbox draft but I am struggling with style and it reads as a list of dates. ChildishGiant (talk) 09:38, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

  A question I have after doing a bit of reading into the subject is whether it is notable as a standalone article. Does it have significant coverage from sources independent of the subject? Does it pass a search engine test?

  It's a good start, and don't let me discourage you (or anybody else) from working on and improving the article. Just food for thought. Horse.staple (talk) 09:45, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

• Parmesan – source n. 8: "permanent dead link". JacktheBrown (talk) 05:10, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

• Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur - In just three edits, the citation style in the article was completely changed from the pre-established style since 2016 to CS1 contrary to WP:CITEVAR while trying to "fix bare URLs"^[sic], and in the process, ruined many formerly-good refs by mangling the last= and first= fields, as well as destroying (quite literally; the sources are now shallow and the title is useless) 2 usurped sources. Could anyone tackle this (especially fixing the usurped sources, as I do not know how I would match the previous style while removing the usurped link at the same time)? The original deep-linked usurped sources (including archive links!) are available in the diff. Thanks. Victoria (OutsideNormality) / talk 20:58, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

• Italians – in this article, sources with many problems. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:37, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
• Joan A. Steitz - Recent additions by Rollingwithit2025 have introduced a significant number of issues throughout the article. While I assume these edits were well-intentioned (the user appears to be a student who made the edits as part of a college course), they have decreased the quality of the article and may need to be rolled back.

• Mario Ruiz Massieu, especially the section on Mario Ruiz Massieu#US immigration law issues. Most of the article was translated from Spanish Wikipedia and needs references. The immigration law issues section was merged in from a standalone article and needs to be refined to complete the merger, conform with the rest of the article, and remove some redundant information.

  Template:CommentBased on the original blogs title and matching up the source info. Fairly certain the web author wanted to change the page's title and move it to the magazine section because it was more of an informational web article. Link was found by Google advance search for Myrtle with URL domain. Only 6 webpages came up. Then info in wiki article was inline checked for matches after which a Google and advanced search was done to verify inline facts at the same URL, no other webpage matched perfectly as source. https://mortadellabologna.com/magazine/protagonisti-di-un-mito/padri-del-nome-mortaio-o-mirto/.

• Kongjian Yu - For a reasonably notable figure (I am not particularly interested in planning, but I have heard of his "sponge cities"), the article is in an odd state. I have tried to fix the most blatant spelling and grammar errors, but it is still very repetitive and oddly structured (e.g., 'Achievements' section describes awards and honors, some of which are also in 'Awards' section) and has some strange verbiage.

  Is there a style preferred by Italy-related articles per MOS:TIES? -- 00101984hjw (talk) 22:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

  I don't think there is. Usual policy is for non-affiliated topics to just go with first come, first serve, and don't change from there unless an affiliation is clear or local consensus is very clear to change it for some reason. That means Italy related topics could very well have a mix of American and British English, and that's not a problem as far as wikipedia is really concerned.

  I removed a couple cleanup tags that didn't seem to fit the state of the article, but holy crap, you're not kidding about the excessive citations and detail. I don't really feel competent in deciding what should be cut or not (are all these preliminary and practice rankings necessary?), so I've just started focusing on the grammar to the best of my ability. But someone who knows more about racing (read: knows something about racing) should probably come in here with an axe! Maybe a blunt one! Fieari (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
