Schools actually have their students write or edit Wikipedia articles? As a joke, maybe! Let's face it...on Wikipedia you can say that Madonna Ciccone is Prince Harry's grandmother! (And, it'll stay that way until someone bothers to re-edit it!) Joke-ipedia might be a better name for this site! Everyone thinks it's a farce. But, it can be a fun farce!
iI've reverted it. First, the lead should summarise the article, which doesn't say he's Italian-American. Secondly, we don't mention people's ethnicity (at least that of living people) unless it is clearly relevant (well, we shouldn't, some articles still do). And thirdly it's unsourced, and the only reliable source I can find, [1] says he's Greek. Dougweller ( talk) 06:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

The phrase (no down in what Sam wrote) is definitely not an insult. Hard to define, here's one [2] explanation. Dougweller ( talk) 09:14, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
SamEV, I want you to stay off of my talk page! Do you understand that? If you're going to try to "educate" others on Italian history, you might just as well learn, here and now, that the Italian unification gave Italy a king as well as a president. (Not just a king as you'd thought!) You became very aggressive and snide with me for no reason on the discussion board! Your apology is NOT accepted. Now, DO NOT contact me again! If you can't understand this, then, please, have a parent or an older person explain it to you. Ta! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.67.217.237 ( talk) 20:13, 23 March 2010 (UTC) Dougweller, Nice try at helping SamEV, but, NO WAY! We're not severs in a restaurant here. (At least, I'm not!) And, I do not care for your awkward approach, to defend SamEV, with a ludicrous article brimming with restaurant servers' vernacular! The slang, that servers use in restaurants, is not acceptable (or used) in everyday English. Sorry! No dice, Dougie! You're going to have to do better than a sever's "testimony"! Hall of Shame on you, for this one! :-)
Dougie...You ARE wasting your time! (On possibly everything "Wiki" that you do!) You left a sever's testimony for me! I don't like SamEV and I'm beginning to not like you! Kindly do the same thing that I told SamEV...Stay OFF my talk page! You're NOT welcome here!
Dougweller, Okay, I can see that you're not going to respect my wish. The "attacking" was done by SamEV. (Whether you're ever going to admit it or not.) As mentioned above, he claimed that the Italian unification gave Italy a king, not a president. I proved to him that the unification gave Italy both. He further claimed that Spain ruled Naples, Sicily and Sardinia during Columbus's time, and he sent me about five Wikipedia articles that he said would prove it. (And called me ignorant!) I did not care to look at his articles, as he might have changed them deliberately for his own self-serving needs. So, instead, I went to Wikipedia's "Italian Renaissance" article, and I found it stated that during the Middle Ages (1300-1499), Naples, Sicily and Sadinia were ruled by the Arabs and the Normans. This seemed more on the right track to me. On Monday, I borrowed a book about the Italian Rennaisance from my local library. In truth, Naples, Sicily and Sardinia were governed mostly by the Arabs and the Normans during this time. Spain was involed in it with the Normans. The Norman kings and queens were marrying Spanish kings and queens, in these parts of Italy, and future rulers included second and third generation nobles who were born on the Italian peninsula. All said, Spain had a bit to do with these parts of Italy at that time. It's generally accepted that the lion's share of it all belongs to the Arabs and the Normans. SamEV's gross exaggeration about Spain ruling these areas, at that time, is a sad reminder that people who edit on Wikipedia are not always using the exact truth. Now, regarding SamEV's attacks. I was raised, in what I believe, is the correct way. The majority of people agree, that calling someone "ignorant" is offensive and insulting. (Dictionaries often point this out.) Unfortunately, there exists a minority of people, who, with mean-spirited intention, will call people such names, and, then, hide behind a false angelic face of well-meant wisdom. I don't buy this type of mentality! SamEV, says above that "it's no crime to be ignorant". Well, he, himself, was ignorant when it came to some Italian matters on this website. I wonder how long it takes to become a "rookie", like SamEV, himself, on Wikipedia. Pertaining to the vernacular...I'm not interested in slang (or attempts to verify it)! In the future, I, like many people, will prefer to go to the library and search for a good book on the topic I happen to be interested in. This website has that "too many cooks spoiling the soup" feel to it, and in most cases, the articles are not accurrate. The librarian, I spoke to on Monday, had this to say: "Oh, Wikipedia? It's a joke!" 'Nuff said!
