Talks with De Finetti[edit]

Header added. —Nils von Barth (nbarth) (talk) 22:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Had talks with DeFinetti and written correspondence.

The impression of the article is devastating for the author:It is at once clear that some or all important contributions to "coherence theory" are neither referenced nor included!

Signed: Goedel's LastGepard

By all means, add that information to the article if you can. Michael Hardy 23:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

First Hint: Richard Jeffrey, ed., Studies in Inductive Logic and Probability, vol. II (1980)

Why put hints here? Instead, edit the article. Michael Hardy 00:32, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bruno De Finetti.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

An image used in this article, File:Bruno De Finetti.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Other speedy deletions

What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

To take part in any discussion, or to review a more detailed deletion rationale please visit the relevant image page (File:Bruno De Finetti.jpg)

Political Philosophy[edit]

Scientists and mathematicians are complicated people, often with strong and surprising passions outside science. Unlike Johannes Stark, whose pro-Nazi opinions were backed up by vigorous actions, with real world consequences for which he was tried and punished after the war, di Finetti's pro-fascism was merely passionately expressed opinion. Nevertheless, the fact that he expressed these opinions, and apparently changed them later, is a notable aspect of his life. The editor who removed the section did so on grounds of its being original research, but that is not the problem with the earlier version, because there is no original research involved in stating what di Finetti wrote. The problem is, rather, that the earlier version seemed to place his pro-fascism on a par with the mathematical research for which he is justly famous. After having reverted the deletion of this section, I decided that the best way to include these opinions without giving them undue weight would be to make them an addendum to the Life section, rather than a section of their own. I have done so in a subsequent edit.CharlesHBennett (talk) 02:12, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The quote takes up almost one third of the "Life" section, definitiely feels WP:UNDUE in an article about a mathematician. Words like "remarkable pean" are an interpretation by the editor and as per WP:PRIMARY require a reliable secondary source. If there is such a source (a biography maybe?) a single sentence in "Life" could do, I think. Ffaffff (talk) 03:45, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Following what I wrote (and the fact that, when I am on the receiving end, I hate BRD), I found a proper secondary source and edited the article. I hope you agree with my diff: in my opinion, anything more than this is WP:UNDUE. Ffaffff (talk) 17:50, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
