Italy as a regional power

@LuigiPortaro29: An Italian who exclusively edits Italy related articles not being blinded with patriotism is very hard to believe. Either way, I highly advised you to revert your last edit because you just broke WP:3RR and you may be reported to WP:AN3 and subsequently blocked. SpaceEconomist 192 13:18, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello!. As I said you there's nothing to do with patriotism. Italy is in that list since many years here, but I have check the sources of Italy and other countries, in many cases the sources are old/outated. I think is time to found new sources and then delete that countries who aren't regional powers. I would like to hear what other users think about...-- LuigiPortaro29 (talk) 06:40, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

It has everything to do with patriotism, I removed 4 different countries and the only one you added back was precisely your country, Italy. That's great if you want to so a sources review but the sources for Italy are not good, the 36th source is unreliable due to WP:PRIMARY, the 34th and 35th are unreliable due to WP:CONTEXTMATTERS and the 33tth should ideally have a page number and a transcript of the specific text since it's not verifiable for most users. Again, you broke the WP:3RR, I highly advise you to revert your last edit otherwise I will report you to WP:AN3. SpaceEconomist 192 09:32, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

I agree with SpaceEconomist192. Luigi is the only user who has deleted Spain from the Southern Europe section, probably because he wants to see Italy as the only country there despite the fact that there are quite a few sources that describe Spain as a regional power in Southern Europe. He also deleted in other articles, despite again the numerous sources, that Spain is a cultural superpower to focus on Italy as the only possible one in Southern Europe.

Honestly, given his attitude, his neutrality is at least debatable. Venezia Friulano (talk) 12:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

I think we have a misunderstanding here. The sources and references used to put Spain in the list says that Spain is a "Middle Power"(which is not the same the concept of Regional Power) They don't mention Spain as a "Regional Power" in Europe. If that the case, that we have to put Spain in this list, we should add Netherlands too, considering is a "Middle Power" and an Economic power in Europe. That's why I think Spain shouldn't be in this list. It's not hard to understand that the only european countries that are full members of the G20, the G7, The Quint, and are considered the big countries of Europe since 1920 are Germany, France, Italy and the UK. These countries are enough to represent the european power, considering that Russia is also on the list. Brunov07 (talk) 03:23, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Uf, sockpuppeting! Dummy. The Blue Rider 22:52, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

So that's your response to my opinion. Awesome dude, if seeing Spain in this wikipedia article makes you happy and your life depends on it, good for you then. It's funny because you don't have any single argument for putting Spain in the list, the only reason you do it is because you want to play the patriotic role in this article. It's even more funny because yo put Spain as a member of the G20 when that IS NOT TRUE, and you put the OECD based on what ??? lmaooo. I hope that some admin or moderator see this because this article is a complete joke. Brunov07 (talk) 03:07, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not even Spanish but nice try. Spain has multiple sources describing it as a regional power; middle power = regional power in most contexts. The Blue Rider 01:10, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Spain isn't a regional power,Italy yes.79.23.193.41 (talk) 08:24, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Spain it’s not a member of the G20.

Spain it's not a full member of the G20, it's a permanent invited guest, which it's not the same concept. Even in the official Spanish Foreign Ministry website says that: https://www.exteriores.gob.es/en/PoliticaExterior/Paginas/G20OCDE.aspx. It's not about "sockpuppeting" (which is totally false) it's about not spreading misinformation in Wikipedia. Spain it's NOT a member. It's a guest. So please, take note, and READ the official website of the Spanish government. If in 24 hours I don't get any response, I will delete the G20 tag in Spain.

You use the same arguments, you edit the same articles about Italy, you demonstrate to be too emotionally involved on this with putting everything at CAPS LOCK in of your edits, that is, if you didn't have a past experience, this wouldn't be the case. The Blue Rider 01:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
