Put a map photo in. You've got a gagillion photos in this article, at least one of them should show us where this place is.-Some dude
I think the history is not really correct - it differs from the one in the main article for what concerns the end of Byzanthium's dominations and the arrival of Arabs, for example for the date of total control of sicily, or for the *legend* of Ephimus - let me know what you think Xain_it
The BLACK SAINT from Palermo was the one who gave the name to the barrio PA in BsAs (arg), NOT Rosalia!!
BTW, what about the soccer team from Palermo that is all the rage in the city these days? Where should it be mentioned? Or perhaps it shouldn't be there at all, since it is info that is likely to change from year to year? Anyway, people are so happy and proud of it!
^grow up please. it wsn't even the fans of this club who were at fault in the death. please learn to read next time. - The Daddy 02:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
An explanation for the 10 minute error is needed!
Here is my working so far:
CET is defined by solar noon at 15:00:00
360° => 24h, so 1° => 4m
15:00:00 - 13:21:43 = 1:38:17 => solar noon in Palermo is about 6 minutes later than at CET meridian.
Surely the people who built the instrument were not aiming to mark the line of local solar noon, but a line 6 minutes earlier than local noon, being the time meridian for central Europe. If they wanted to match the time in Rome, then they only needed the line to be 4 minutes "early". So the problem is even worse... --Red King 17:33, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Some of the material here could be more neutral, but the way to deal with that is to replace it with supported facts. --Red King 00:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The stub at the bottom about Palermo in Brazil, should be moved or redricted.
According to it.wiki, it's at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/it/thumb/0/06/Palermo-Stemma.png/100px-Palermo-Stemma.png but it doesn't seem to work here. Suggestions? --Red King 11:00, 16 August 2005 (UTC) I lived in Palermo for many years, my parents still live there and I agree with Gisi. Where are all those buildings destroyed during the war??? there are some but not like you present it in this chapter, the whole centre... Poverty? Some quarters are poor like you have in a lot of cities. I don't think this chapter is very reliable. Sabrina —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.209.105.158 (talk) 20:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
The main beach of Palermo is called Mondello. It is very beautiful early or late in the season, but can be overly crowded in July or August. Also during these two months, the beach is cluttered with rows upon rows of changing houses, and access to the beach is restricted. However several openings allow free bathing. From central Palermo, the 806 bus will take you to Mondello. It is highly recommended!!!
I have deleted this section due to unencyclopedic information and high POV as well as sounding like a travel brochure. If anyone wants to revert it for some strange reason please explian why.
Get rid of only the last line, or rewrite the whole thing to get rid of the narrator's tone. There are relevant facts in that passage. Salvage them, don't delete them.-Some dude
I readded "Palermu" and "Palemmu" because these are indeed valid and common words for the city. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I could create a section of the article dedicated to the Sicilian namings of the city.
I dont't like this photo with a motorbike. Even if Peugeot motorbikes are an important (historical - as it is in the section "History") landmark of Palermo, it should not fill so much area. The first photo in article should show some beauty instead of poverty striken back street. Please replace it soon, or I will do it.
I'm proposing to create its own article if no one opposes. although, would welcome input from other editors familiar with Palermo in building up such an article. Michellecrisp (talk) 02:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
These are certainly great images that can be used in the article, but they should be next to something which is specifically relevent to it in the article. I'm going to put them here for a moment and as the article develops put images next to parts of the next which is relevent to it. - Gennarous (talk) 20:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

"The language spoken by its inhabitants is the Sicilian language." well, the most spoken is the italian, wich isn't even mentioned in the article. I'm editing this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.56.183.118 (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
What sense does it possibly make to mention the "underground economy" right next to the international airport? Although I'm not confronting the claim that Palermo's economy may rely extensively on 'underground' activities, mentioning that at the very beginning and in connection with available means of transportation is ludicrous—let alone provocative. If anyone is interested (and able, as that 'Citation needed' demands) in describing the impact of underground economy on the town's daily activities, this should rather be done by adding to the Economy or Crime sections. What is more, the paragraph on the re-development and the renovation of the town (referring to a dead-link in Palermo's administration's website) is clearly automatically translated. The result is mere non-sense. --193.205.206.26 (talk) 17:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Agreed, the introduction needs a lot of reworking, it is repetitive and has a lot of frivolous/irrelevant and unsourced info. Like it is known for its colourful fruits. hmmm. Joe Lo Po — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.130.136.58 (talk) 09:41, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
The average minimum temperatures reported in the article are wrong: eg the January minimum daily temperature is 10.2, Feb 10.1 and so on (this data are taken from the same link given in the article). Consequently, the daily temperatures are wrong too. They should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.149.234.202 (talk) 01:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 07:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Palermo was never a part of the Holy Roman Empire. Therefore it was definitely never its capital. This passage has to be deleted. Cheers --WAH (talk); —Preceding undated comment added 21:09, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
