That Enigma Books edition is terrible. It looks to me like it might have been produced via a scan and image-to-text software. It's nearly incomprehensible due to extreme typographical errors. I wish there was a source for that... although it's probably not notable in any case. Regardless, I don't like having the Enigma Books version on this page, because it feels like we're advertising for a low brow backhanded company that produces inferior products.

Wow, it actually is advertising. According to the page history, that snippet about Enigma was added by User:Enigmabooks. Sneaky. Obviously they were in full stealth mode when they made that addition to the article. Gopher65_talk 02:00, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change article status?

The article status has been raised from 'stub' to 'expand'. It is still short but has a good picture and the important points are there as is the structure now. The citations still need doing and the article needs more information and perhaps a 'further reading' section. CPES (talk) 14:13, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Some more of the basics are now in place but this article needs more information, especially about Albertini's childhood, family, personal life, and political exploits, including his confrontation with the fascist regime. The key sources are probably the following books; this is a problem (for me anyway) because they do not seem to be available in English:

Albertini, Alberto (1945). Vita di Luigi Albertini. Roma: Mondadori. (The Life of Luigi Albertini by his brother, Alberto Albertini)
Albertini, Luigi (1950-3). Venti anni di vita politica. Bologna: N. Zanichelli. {{cite book}}: Check date values in: |year= (help)CS1 maint: year (link) (Twenty Years in Politics, the memoirs of Luigi Albertini)
Brié, Ottavio (1972) Luigi Albertini.Unione tipografica editrice torinese, Torino. (Luigi Albertini biography)

Perhaps somebody who has Italian and English - and the time - could help (only the information is important - English grammar, spelling, etc can soon be fixed if necessary). CPES (talk) 22:28, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
