Do you have a source supporting this change? Nikkimaria (talk) 11:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Insane amount of text please remove and add subheadings.

Janae amount fo text. 64.189.18.37 (talk) 18:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't agree. The amount of subheadings and their titles aren't unusual for a country article. 216.208.98.34 (talk) 17:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Italy population 1 March 2024

Population change at the end of February 2024 (1 March 2024): 58.971.638; source: https://demo.istat.it/app/?i=D7B&a=2024&l=en

Please change it. EdgarsKiecis (talk) 05:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 June 2024

Please change "12 Jun 1946" to "10 Jun 1946" as the date on which the Italian Republic came into being. This was the date on which the Court of Cessation confirmed the results of the institutional referendum. RomeoJA (talk) 20:02, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Charliehdb (talk) 13:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Results of the institutional referendum were announced on 10 Jun 1946; see Gazzetta Ufficiale, 20 Jun 1946:

change "Italy shares its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and two enclaves: Vatican City and San Marino." to "Italy shares its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Vatican City and San Marino." or "Italy shares its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and two micronations: Vatican City and San Marino." 93.46.99.50 (talk) 11:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: 'Enclaves' is more descriptive, as Italy completely surrounds the two countries. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:29, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

GDP

Greetings, everyone. The article says that Italy has the eighth-largest nominal GDP in the world, but, according to the International Monetary Fund, the county is in ninth position, which we can see here: World Economic Outlook database: April 2024. Can someone correct that information?--Agent010 (talk) 12:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Administrative Divisions

Looking at the source, there is an editor comment at the Administrative Divisions section that says not to change the anchor tag. As it stands, however, the section header is "={{Anchor". Shouldn't this be fixed? Why shouldn't it be changed? TurkeyCookTime (talk) 18:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

I fixed it.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Biased against Italy

A lot of this is biased against Italy and written to paint a bad image of the country.

Can we remove all the bad points? 2A0A:EF40:E4A:E101:698A:BD05:47AD:E241 (talk) 16:17, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

If we removed all the bad points, it would be biased towards Italy. It needs to be an appropriate balance of both the good and the bad. See WP:NPOV. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:05, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
