pronounciation

I've removed the pronounciation of the canton in other languages because (i) I don't think it really belongs here; (ii) I think it distracts from the rest. Kokiri 23:19, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Maybe we could limit the inclusion of "Tessin" to "(Tessin is the name in French and German)" or remove Tessin entirely, afterall local language is Italian (mostly). -- User:Docu

German

Why is the comment about German being removed? --Golbez 21:13, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)

Because German is not used in Ticino. The language is Italian and the fact that some German speaking tourist are present in summer doesn't make German a used language. English is used everywhere there are tourist but I don't think that it is appropriate to state that in every article related to tourism. --Matteo 11:41, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

Do the inhabitants of Bosco Gurin (Ticino) still speak German as their first language?Sluzzelin 17:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flag

This is not the flag of the canton but the coat of arm. The tessin flag is divised horizontaly and the coat of arm verticaly (same for other Swiss cantons).

You are right. I corrected the flag, which is now rotated. I also corrected the colors (see the image description for details) --Matteo 12:16, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

Since the new template uses the coat of arm I corrected it with the right colors (as I did for the flag). The Image page is OK but I still see the old one here. Does anyone know why?Matteo 19:32, 2005 May 5 (UTC)

I think you need to wait a little bit until the cache updates the thumbnail. It always happens when you overwrite an image. Nova77 00:57, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ticino! There is a vote going on at Latin Europe that might interest you. Please everyone, do come and give your opinion and votes. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 21:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tessine

Having lived in Switzerland for five years I am qualified to inform you that Swiss nationals, when speaking English, refer to the region as The Tessine However, as that is original research, it doesn't count. What does count is a Swiss scientific journal written in three languages - French, German and English where the spelling Tessine is clearly distinguishable from the French and German. As the Swiss have more authority than we in the United States to decide the spelling of their own regions, I intend to correct this omission in the article. Mike Hayes (talk) 01:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the online reference you provided, but it doesn't appear to be an English text. Until we receive better references, I removed it. BTW I made a redirect from Tessine. -- User:Docu

I've removed all cases of Tessine in the text. The title of the article is Ticino, then why on earth go around and change the name within the article to Tessine? It's confusing and not helpful in any way. We can discuss the name of the article, but sneaking around the text and creating conflicts with the title is only disruptive. JdeJ (talk) 11:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ticinese (i.e. Ticino inhabitant) and, personnally, I've never heard someone calling my region The Tessine. Most people, when speaking english, just call it Ticino. Some, on the other hand, refer at it as Tessin (the german way). teodegia —Preceding undated comment added 07:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Ticino canton is southern Europe without doubt

Canton of Ticino is southern Europe as this link and others clearly show. It is in the Mediterranean basin. Also Rhone and Danube basins are.An area is classified geographically by mountais and so its basin. If nobody answers article wil be correctly restored.^[1]Maxim3377 (talk) 12:08, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Maxim3377: As noted elsewhere, your source is a book on hydrology, which is not a great source for information on geopolitics. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:05, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:WikiDan61Other ref . supporting Ticino is south Europe.^[2]In Ticino people have Italian culture, if we use cultural method.All criteria set Ticino in southern Europe.you answered just trollying.Time to update.Now i've valid sources.You've to show the opposite now or i'll update.And what would you use to define physical geography?Let me know this news).Maxim3377 (talk) 14:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would accept that is it considered southern in some respects (language and physical location) but western/central in others (Swiss national culture/law etc). Sumorsǣte (talk)

I agree with your view.It's geographically south Europe even if politically is Switzerland.Maxim3377 (talk) 22:30, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Almost entirely south of the Alps"?

From the article: "However, unlike all other cantons, it lies almost entirely south of the Alps..."

From w:List of mountains of Ticino: "Ticino is a very mountainous canton and lies almost entirely within the Alps."

Which one is right? Both can't be. I think the second one is right, but someone who's sure needs to choose one and make both articles consistent. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
