Please note

Apparently the Malta Historic Society in Australia has paraphrased large chunks of text from this article and has used some of the images without giving any attribution. However contribution was given to other sources, including wikicommons photos directly to the authors, without mentioning the wikimedia directly.Continentaleurope (talk) 12:43, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fountain at the Valletta Marina

The fountain which had a statue of Neptune is not the same fountain as that now found at Argotti Gardens. According to this source, the Argotti fountain was originally built at Ġnien is-Sultan in Valletta, and it was rediscovered and relocated in 1956. The fountain also has the engraved coat of arms of GM Lascaris and not Wignacourt, as seen in this photo. Due to this, I removed the text The fountain itself was relocated to Argotti Gardens in Floriana in 1861, where it remains today from the article. If anyone finds any information about the fate of the fountain, please add it to the article.

Sorry for the mistake. However I have a source for you to use including a public domain picture. Use this please.Continentaleurope (talk) 17:28, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Continentaleurope: I added the source to the article; can you upload the pic please? (I'm not sure what licence to use etc) Best regards, Xwejnusgozo (talk) 18:46, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You also should add the real sculpture of Neptune Leone Leoni and add the date (1584) it was created and the Grand Master (Doria - the coat of arms was added?) it was donated and other from this source. Sorry for providing sources little by little but it does not come easy to read them with an easy search. Will provide pic laterContinentaleurope (talk) 19:18, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Map

A map of the route of the aqueduct, and showing the places (Balzan, Birkirkara, etc.) and features (water inspection towers, fountains) mentioned would complement this article. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 23:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

Five Latin inscriptions are cited, but only two have translations ... for completeness (and consistency), could translations for the other three be included? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 08:51, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
