Talk:Sicily

Edit Suggestions

Hello, I would like to say a few suggestions to improve this article. A good amount of sections are missing citations for historical information and facts about geography (ex. length of rivers table). Under the "Flora and fauna," although it describes the land as being heavily agricultural, the only flora object mentioned is a chestnut tree and it would be nice to add other species of plants to the list. It might be nice to update information that was posted years ago with a newer source (such as the current president of Sicily) to show the article is being reviewed constantly and is up to date. Along with that, information on the status of the bridge that was proposed to be built would benefit from updated information as well. Just a quick search showed the estimate price for the project went up and that another concern for building it was because of earthquakes.[1] Grisafi95 (talk) 04:14, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Autonomous Status and Effective Degree thereof

I would like to question the following statement: "However, much of the autonomy still remains unapplied, especially financial autonomy, because the autonomy-activating laws have been deferred to be approved by the joint committee (50% Italian State, 50% Regione Siciliana), since 1946." First, a citation should be given to support these claims. Second, much of the information contained in the official Statute (translated from Italian) contradicts the facts presented in that statement. See, for instance, pages 7; 13-15; 21-22. The link to the document is: http://pti.regione.sicilia.it/portal/page/portal/PIR_PORTALE/PIR_Statutoregionale/Statute%20of%20the%20Sicilian%20Regional%20Government.pdf

Please amend the text. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.69.146 (talk) 19:04, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Indeed the statement was probably made-up and inserted with by someone with incomplete knowledge of Sicily. Mottezen (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of statements with not RS

I have again removed two referenced sentences that had been already removed by an anonymous user. The main problem is the quality of the sources: the first is a blog on a newspaper, the second the website of a municipality. As far as the second sentence is concerned, the article is about Sicily, not the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, and the island was certainly not "one of the most industrialized areas of Italy". I suggest using RS, such as Mack Smith's masterful work on Sicily, where the situation of the island is explained, which was certainly more complex than the one described by the two removed sentences.
