Should be[edit]

Should be something about the Pirelli Calendar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.183.196.141 (talk) 11:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone satisfied your wish :) My Gussie (talk) 06:57, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should have some information about Pirelli Film —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Best wishes, Travb (talk) 13:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would make sense. They likely are experts on the subject. Dodint 02:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

somebody should write about their support and funding of fascism[edit]

I think this could be an important addition to the article :) 82.42.188.13 23:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing - do you know of some references that we can use? My Gussie (talk) 06:44, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar[edit]

I don't claim to be an expert scholar, but I'm quite certain the article contains tons of broken english. 04:13, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Financial information[edit]

The table is badly designed. The years go from right to left, instead of left to right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.196.193 (talk) 16:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are we also to believe that net income leapt 100-fold from 2010 to 2011? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.196.193 (talk) 16:38, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ChemChina Acquisition[edit]

ChemChina is actually the owner of Pirelly, please consider edit the article including this important information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.25.238.87 (talk) 14:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This will be done after the acquisition has completed. It will be much easier and quicker if you could provide references that we could use, thanks :) My Gussie (talk) 06:34, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are there two people called Leopoldo Pirelli?[edit]

The Leopoldo Pirelli mentioned in the article (who is claimed to have invented the wide radial) was not born when Pirelli was founded, yet there was a statement (that I removed) claiming that Leopold was one of the founders. Were there two people with this name? My Gussie (talk) 06:41, 12 August 2015 (UTC) Also, I think I am going to remove the redirect from Giovanni Battista Pirelli to this article as it's time someone wrote an article about the founder. Can anyone provide references to the history? - Thanks.[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Pirelli. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080320074840/http://www.britishsuperbike.com:80/html/newsarticle.php?id=1203 to http://www.britishsuperbike.com/html/newsarticle.php?id=1203

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Y An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

Proposal: Formula 1 tyres[edit]

Hello Wikipedians, I propose to move the long and somehow not neutral paragraph about all the F1 tyre issues to the Formula_One_tyres page. What about it? Thanks,AmbroTheAnt (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2017 (UTC) https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:AmbroTheAnt[reply]

I have advertised this discussion at Talk:Formula One tyres and the Formula One WikiProject. DH85868993 (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can see removing much of the detail, but deleting entirely seems like a bad idea; it's still about Pirelli tyres. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 01:10, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is the majority owner Sinochem or ChemChina?[edit]

There seems to be conflicting information in the annual report. Can anyone point out a definitive source? Andro611 (talk) 12:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
