While everything checks out and I approve both Alt hooks and the primary hook, the image of Livio is potentially not in the public domain. There is the possibility that someone on Italian Wikipedia is correct with
these tags but I don't wish to chance it. In any case, sans portrait image, I would approve. ~

Per
Pbritti's review, I'm going to tick this without image. If an image is worked out, no prejudice against that being approved as well.

Thank you,
theleekycauldron! Either photo or any of the hooks would suit me just fine (though I prefer the first hook with the photo of the marble plaque — which should be free of any concerns as I made and uploaded the image myself). Cheers,

Thanks
Justlettersandnumbers, appreciate your help. Wondering if it is "ok" to edit the "hook" post-submission? Now that there is a photo of the plaque, would it not be better to say: "...that in 2014 the city of Milan in Italy named a street after the designers
Achille,
Livio, and
Pier Giacomo Castiglioni called Via Fratelli Castiglioni (pictured)?
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 19:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)reply
Cl3phact0, to be honest, I'm pretty hazy about the details of DYK "etiquette". Why not add your revised hook as another alt – someone will eventually correct that (without reproach) if it turns out to be wrong. What'd be nice now would be for someone to review this – it'll happen eventually.
Justlettersandnumbers (
talk) 20:16, 18 December 2022 (UTC)reply
Justlettersandnumbers, it would be a pity if the submission were to be selected and then published without the best possible "hook". I'll put a note in the
DYK thread and place the proposed edit itself on the
Talk page. Let's see how that lands. Cheers,
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 08:37, 19 December 2022 (UTC)reply
Done
I'd say just go ahead and edit the hooks, as they've not been reviewed yet. The hook should include (pictured) if using an image anyway, as per
WP:DYKIMG. After the DYK has been reviewed any changes should be a new ALT. -

Ok, that makes sense to me. I'll have a go at it, cross my fingers, and try not to step on any toes. Thanks,

talk) 04:40, 20 December 2022 (UTC)reply
Today there's 270 hooks outstanding in total with only 131 verified, so I suspect it'll be a few weeks before someone gets to reviewing this one unfortunately. -

Kj cheetham,
Justlettersandnumbers: DYK promoted! Not sure what happens next (or if either of the photos will ultimately be included), but I wanted to thank you both for your encouragement and help with this. Cheers,

Cl3phact0 Congrats! It's now in
Template:Did_you_know/Preparation_area_7, and in due course (likely within days) it'll be moved to a queue and then put on the front page. Looks like they didn't use a photo in the end, as only one entry in each set uses a photo in practice. -

Thanks! Too bad about the photo, but great news just the same.

(
edit conflict) Finally! That's good,
Cl3phact0, I'm looking forward to seeing it on the main page. I noticed this, though (and if I hadn't, someone else surely would have): there's a problem with the Fondazione Fiera Milano source, which clearly attributes its content to Wikipedia, so can't be used per
WP:CIRCULAR. That short paragraph may need to be revised or even removed.
I've removed Lierna as his place of birth – that's the work of
the hoax editor on it.wp – and added full dates for birth and death, with source. I didn't see any source for the 22 April 1911 birth date; if there is one then we should probably give both dates. His wife Xenia Bignami and son Piero Castiglioni seem to be well enough sourced to be added to the page. Regards,
Justlettersandnumbers (

Thanks! I'll have a close look at the improvements you made and the points you've raised to see if I can help improve anything too.
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 11:56, 8 January 2023 (UTC)reply
You are right about the
Fondazione Fiera Milano source. Sorry I didn't spot that. I think the information was also elsewhere, but I'll have to try to locate it again.
Re: Initialism, my rational was derived from the institutions themselves. (See relevant pages:
here,
here, and
here for examples.)
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 00:25, 9 January 2023 (UTC)reply
PS: I've used these abbreviations quite a few times in art and design related articles I've edited. If it's a mistake, I have a lot of corrections to make, alas.
PPS: Should have linked
ADI rather than
V&A above (my point is that a lot of these institutions seem to be known by their initials, though I haven't the foggiest idea why this may be).
Stumped by Xenia Bignami reference. Her name turns up
here and
here, but I can't find verifiable sources for anyone of that name connected with Livio Castiglioni. Am I missing something?
Re: Piero Castiglioni, he is mentioned in the last paragraph of the "Work and career" section (with a link to the it:wp
article about him). Do you think more needs to be written? [NB: "Leirna" birthplace.]
Cl3phact0 (

Hi again,
Cl3phact0! For his (first) marriage, try
this search and then switch to Books (or Libri if it changes the language for you) - I'm seeing three useable sources. If you don't, I'll link them here individually. On the initialisms, it definitely isn't a mistake as such, it just seems superfluous – what's the point of writing it when it's already completely obvious? It's like a modern disease – now we have people calling themselves stuff like the
University of Foo (UF), and then insisting that that is the actual name of the university; or down-casing it to make a word like Irpef. My view: if a thing has a name, use it! In this project, we're supposed to put the initialism in parentheses after the full name if we plan to refer to the thing by the initials later on. Just for comparison, see
BBC,
NATO, but
Victoria and Albert Museum; we do call the museum the 'viend-eh' in conversation, but not in formal language. Regards,
Justlettersandnumbers (

I'm not much for alphabet-soup either!
In the case of cited museums (add
MET to examples, although
footnote a seems to lend weight to the argument against), I used it because they use it – and have also seen it used elsewhere (both here on Wikipedia and in other writing). It seems like the tendency to abbreviate these august institutions might be thought to add gravitas or sharpen their branding; or, per
Irpef ref above (also see: IRS, HMRC, BZSt, SPF Finances, DGFiP, etc.), to dull the pain; or maybe it's just easier to say. Not wed to it in any case, and absolutely fine with your edits if you think it reads better without, just wanted to table the matter for discussion.
Re: the Fondazione Fiera Milano ref., I removed one instance and added a tag to the second. Still looking for a better substitute and will hold-off on striking the poorly referenced sentence for now (if that's acceptable practice).
... and someone just deleted the portrait (in spite of all the conversations, etc.). This is so frustrating. :-(
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 13:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)reply
... and the family portrait. I give up. This feels like a good waste of time to overlook past setbacks and celebrate positive outcomes. :-(( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plan to rm "{{expand Italian|Livio Castiglioni|date=September 2022|section=no|topic=bio}}" as it may be is a distraction to a casual reader. The article now includes (most of) the information that can be found in its Italian counterpart. Will leave "{{Translated|it|Livio Castiglioni |partial=1}}" template here on the Talk page for editors' reference. Any reason not to make this edit? Cheers
Cl3phact0 (

PS: By the same
logic, I plan to also rm expand Italian template from
Achille Castiglioni article, and eventually (once certain that all or most of the salient information has been included),
Pier Giacomo Castiglioni article as well. Cheers
Wikiquote tag
This artile contains a {{Wikiquote}} tag that doesn't resolve correctly (it should probably link

Un-tag photos
Hello
Justlettersandnumbers, after today's
DYKnear-miss train wreck, I'm wondering if there is something that can be done to better resolve the ongoing matter of the Lierna Sock tainted images so that this doesn't keep jumping the rails and landing on the Castiglioni articles (e.g., "un-tag" or somehow pause or suspend the deletion request)? The two photographs that seem to be the source of confusion are
here and
here (for reference, there is also a third, probably related image
here). Thank you,
Cl3phact0 (
talk) 22:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)reply
PS: I should have titled this "Un-tag phots?" (it's a question, not a declaration!), but don't want to change it now because I made a few
links that lead here.
Cl3phact0, I'm sure those deletion discussions will be closed eventually, and confident that the Commons admin who closes them will make the right call. I don't think they'll end up being deleted, but if they do there shouldn't be any reason not to upload them (or the cool one at least) here on Wikipedia as
non-free images under our very limiting fair-use criteria. I can help with that if it turns out to be necessary.

The portrait of Livio Castiglioni that survived the scrutiny of the above DYK nomination, as well as a myriad of complexities created elsewhere, has just been
deleted from Commons. Perhaps someone could help resolve this matter (again)? Cheers,
