Proposed translation and removal of promotional paragraphs
editHi everyone, I am working on translating the texts of the paragraphs "Financial services", "Mail, Parcel and Distribution", "Payments and mobile" and "Insurance" from the Italian language version of the article, which seem to flow better. Since the translation only concerns very short texts, can I use the banner I see at the top of this page?
Reading the article, I have also noticed that the sections "Sustainability", "Small municipalities", "Commercial network - Post Office Network" and "Competitor" seem to contain promotional information, that I would suggest to remove for this reason.
What do you think about it? Thank you so much for your help --Pitagora-23 (talk) 14:36, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi everyone, I've completed the translation of the paragraphs mentioned above. While updating the content, I've also slightly reviewed the texts in language and style. Furthermore, I think it could be a good idea to create a separate section called "Activities", adding a short introduction, as you could see both in the Italian version of the article and in the box below, which includes the entire proposal.

Activities
With a network of about 12,800 post offices, 120,000 employees and 35 million customers, Poste Italiane is the largest service distribution network in Italy.[1][2]The company operates in the fields of logistics, mail and parcel delivery, financial and insurance services, payment systems and telephony, with activities divided into four different business areas.[2]
Mail, Parcel and Distribution
Being the first postal operator in Italy, the Group provides mail and parcel delivery services using its own multi-channel distribution platform.[3] Additionally, they are engaged in hybrid mail management, a service that converts digital documents into physical form and delivers them to recipients, ensuring the integrity and certification of digital communications and operations.[3]
Since 2018, the Joint Delivery model has been implemented, allowing more flexible parcel and e-commerce shipment delivery tailored to specific characteristics of the area, such as population density and mail volumes. The model also includes some investments in cutting-edge distribution and automation technologies.[4][5][2]
Financial services
Poste Italiane is one of the primary financial services operators in the country through its asset allocation BancoPosta. The structure is responsible for actively managing the portfolio of liquidity gathered from both private and public customers.[6] It also handles the collection and management of postal savings, which are issued by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti in the form of interest-bearing bonds and passbooks.[7] Furthermore, the Group provides collection and payment services, including postal bulletins, F24, national and international postal money orders, Moneygram, and Eurogiro circuit services.[8] Moreover, Poste Italiane is involved in the placement and distribution of financial products issued by third parties or other companies within the Group.[2]
Insurance
Poste Italiane operates in the insurance sector through Poste Vita, which provides insurance, pension, investment and savings products. Additionally, the company operates in the non-life insurance segment through Poste Assicura, which was established in 2010. Poste Assicura offers various insurance products that cover protection against accidents, civil and general liability, fire, property damage, and pecuniary losses. They also provide legal assistance services.[9]
Payments and mobile
Finally, Poste Italiane is involved in the realm of e-money and electronic payments.[10]The division also includes the provision of telephone operator services through the PosteMobile service,[11] initiatives related to the digital sector,[12] as well as electricity and gas sales services provided by Poste Energia. The availability of Poste Energia's services commenced in February 2023 and covers the entire country.[13]

- Hi everyone, as you can see in the "History" page, a bot archived part of the conversation that was related to the proposal above, making it incomprehensible and leaving some errors in the code. I have already done a revert, but the problem has occurred again. While I'm trying to figure out how to solve it, I think I can start integrating the translation - which only concerns very short texts and do not contain any controversial information - into the article. I would in any case draw your attention to this problem and to the issue related to the paragraphs with a promotional tone, that I would suggest to remove: you can find the archived conversation here. Many thanks for your help --Pitagora-23 (talk) 14:39, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hello everyone, it has been a while since the submission of the proposal above. After updating the paragraphs on activities, I would shortly proceed to remove the "Sustainability", "Small municipalities", "Commercial network - Post Office Network" and "Competitor" sections, which are clearly promotional in style and content. --Pitagora-23 (talk) 13:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
