Malcolm X is repeated twice on List of featured biographies
It's a pity that there is so much italic confusion in the articles "
Via Aemilia" and "
Via Flaminia". The question is: should they be written in italics? Both articles are both italicised and not. Consistency in the same article is very important (remember, if you decide for italics or not, to do the same with all the other pages that use these terms, otherwise there is no point).

See
MOS:FOREIGNITALIC: non-English words should be italicised using
template:Language (for screen readers). Except of course for loan words that have been assimilated. Thus Via Aemilia, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Except if you go to
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, practically none of it complies. Sigh. --
