[edit]

Why is the subject of this page written "Academy of Sciences" rather than "academy of sciences". We don't talk about Learned SocietiesorScholarly AssociationsorNon-Governmental Organisations or indeed about Rock-and-Roll Bands. Is there any reason why this shouldn't be moved to ordinary lower-case? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: Agreed; I've requested the redirect Academy of sciences to be deleted: Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Fgnievinski (talk) 00:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What does "tuned into" mean in the following sentence: "Some state funded academies are *tuned into* national or royal […] as a form of honor"? I can only assume this is a mistake, since it appears to make no sense. Rgrayuk (talk) 10:42, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the first time I noticed an attempt to annihilation of the Identity of Italy (the proper Italy - southern Italy - the name Italy was first used for the southernmost part of the peninsula), mostly regarding institutions for which we have evidence that are chronologically elder than the ones in Padania area. For Italian Wikipedia I assume this is usual since it is the same line that central Government and general habit use in Italy (to consider Padania as a 'standard' and the rest of Italy as 'the other'). For Wikipedia in English I would be thankful to find more respect for history, culture, arts and identity of Southern Italy. Before I added those you mentioned 4 academies: one founded in Rome in 1603, one founded in Verona in 1782, one founded in Mantua in 1768 and one founded in Umbria in 2015; for a total of two academies from Central Italy and two academies from Northern Italy. You did not mention any of the academies from Southern Italy, in particular one founded in Cosenza in 1511 and one founded in Naples in 1443, which are actually elder than the ones from Central and Northern Italy. How may I not consider this as a denigration of Southern Italy? AlexanderFreud (talk) 19:20, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
