Autonomous Status and Effective Degree thereof
editI would like to question the following statement: "However, much of the autonomy still remains unapplied, especially financial autonomy, because the autonomy-activating laws have been deferred to be approved by the joint committee (50% Italian State, 50% Regione Siciliana), since 1946." First, a citation should be given to support these claims. Second, much of the information contained in the official Statute (translated from Italian) contradicts the facts presented in that statement. See, for instance, pages 7; 13-15; 21-22. The link to the document is: http://pti.regione.sicilia.it/portal/page/portal/PIR_PORTALE/PIR_Statutoregionale/Statute%20of%20the%20Sicilian%20Regional%20Government.pdf
Please amend the text. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.69.146 (talk) 19:04, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Done Indeed the statement was probably made-up and inserted with by someone with incomplete knowledge of Sicily. Mottezen (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Removal of statements with not RS
editI have again removed two referenced sentences that had been already removed by an anonymous user. The main problem is the quality of the sources: the first is a blog on a newspaper, the second the website of a municipality. As far as the second sentence is concerned, the article is about Sicily, not the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, and the island was certainly not "one of the most industrialized areas of Italy". I suggest using RS, such as Mack Smith's masterful work on Sicily, where the situation of the island is explained, which was certainly more complex than the one described by the two removed sentences.

"Expand Italian" template
editI propose the removal of the "Expand Italian" template; number of bytes of the Italian language Wikipedia page: 181,351 (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilia), only 20,000 more (en.wiki: 162,659; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicily). JacktheBrown (talk) 10:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
