St Laurence's Church, Frodsham

Active, as distinct from "redundant" - for example All Saints Church, Harthill; that is the general understanding of the term. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC) Hey I m abid khan son

Referencing

Would you have any objection to using the 'reflist' system at Irish International Exhibition (1907). I added my minor contrib. with this system and assumed it was correctly ref'd, but the cite did not appear because of formatting incompatibility. Reflist seems now to be usual practice across the 'pedia. I'll 'rejig' your refs in accordance, if you agree with this change. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 23:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

No objection at all :-) Icarusgeek (talk) 18:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Reverted

Please take care to look at dates and years. Fyodor Schechtel, who died in 1926, had nothing to do with the pavilion built for the 1939 exhibition (which was designed by V. A. Ashastin). The 1923 exhibition was held at a different location (present-day Gorky Park). Schechtel's pavilion represented not Turkmenistan but Turkestan, i.e. Central Asia in general.

"Several brightly coloured buildings" at the 1901 Glasgow exhibition need more research. All contemporary images that I saw don't look like "brightly coloured" - just ordinary log buildings, but then of course it's black and white photographs. Schechtel's own drafts show quite a bunch of colours, but these were dark colours (dark crimson, purple, dark blue) mixed with natural untreated wood. NVO (talk) 01:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Take Fat

I've taken your hangon off because there wasn't a speedy tag there. Speedy was declined in December 2010. There is a multiple maintenance tag, but those sometimes stay there for years. Peridon (talk) 13:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Research survey invitation

Greetings Icarusgeek-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSHzuwaQovaZ6ss

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

BB 2011

Updates to this article take a lot of time and care. Kindly avoid reverting other's text unless there is an obvious mistake in the facts. Duration is perfectly apt term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.98.14 (talk) 17:41, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Maintenance categories and HotCat

I saw you recently added Category:Orphaned articles to Brogramming using HotCat. That category and other maintenance categories listed under Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month should not be added directly to articles; instead you should use the corresponding maintenance templates such as {{Orphan}}. HTH. Anomie⚔ 03:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

OK Will do. Thanks Icarusgeek (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Nuto mileva

Hey, thanks for helping out with new page patrol, as you did on Nuto mileva. FYI, articles that aren't written in English actually don't fit the criteria for speedy deletion unless the same content exists on another Wikimedia project. In this case would have been better to tag the article with {{not english}}. See WP:CSD#A2 for more information. Thanks again! causa sui (talk) 19:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Re this edit: A bit about its last use (already supported by existing citation) - which citation? Thanks. 92.40.42.106 (talk) 21:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh that was sloppy of me. My last link in, and I didn't recheck. Thank you for pointing it out. I have now rectified it (I hope) Icarusgeek (talk) 17:33, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

In recognition of all the work you’ve done lately! 66.87.0.254 (talk) 13:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

That's so nice of you. Thank you Icarusgeek (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Resolved White (Mayflower Passenger)

Please correct the changes you did to my styling of references back to what they were. Yours is not the recommended style and for good reason because and it causes problems with the programming and the articles, especially when other editors come in to it with their own styling of referencing as well. What happens is that the article is a combination of referencing styles and it looks a complete mess. They also edit (in between) the other references and that too causes problems. There was no reason to change them. Your preferred method does not work on Wikipedia very well. It is also against Wikipedia policy guidelines to change other editor's valid references.

I have been here a long time and I know what happens so please change them back. Thank you. Mugginsx (talk) 20:25, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

An award for you

Thank you 66.87.2.96. I was a bit busy in April, but May is a month of (interesting research) and far fewer edits. I will remember the barnstar when I'm next busay posting (September I think), and post moreIcarusgeek (talk) 13:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Dabbing Sunderland

Hi, you may not be aware, but Tyne and Wear did not exist before 1974. To give the correct historical context when discussing the location of Sunderland before the, dab to [[Sunderland, County Durham|Sunderland]] Mjroots (talk) 08:11, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for poiting this out Mjroots. Doubly embarrassing as (i) I think I corrected something similar elsewhere and I (ii) also have a horrendous feeling that I lived in County Durham when the boundaries were re-drawn Icarusgeek (talk) 13:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Cheers

I'm (very) late saying this but thankyou for appreciating my update comments back in (*blushes*) September 2011. I was very touched, albeit in such a way that it took far too long to say so. --Zagrebo (talk) 16:56, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Zagrebo, Thanks for appreciating the comments - and it was nice that it was a few months on, as I got to appreciate them all over again. Icarusgeek (talk) 08:01, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Bronze sculptures

Thanks for joining in this work! I don't myself think the whole category should be diffused to national subs. The current four are probably enough. I've become aware that many of the more recent ones exist in several copies, which the articles are not good at saying (especially the Smithsonian ones). These should stay in the main category I think, & also the infoboxes should be less specific. Johnbod (talk) 16:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Exposition Internationale de l'Est de la France

For Exposition Internationale de l'Est de la France, there are two 1909 categories and the Architecture category, but no Exposition category. In fact, Exposition is a disambiguation page, with Trade fair as the relevant category. Was the Exposition Internationale de l'Est de la France a trade fair? I hope you see that I am puzzled by the fact that the three categories for this article do not cover the reason there is an article, there was an Exposition. Looking at other Exposition articles, I find the same thing, unless, of course, it was a World's Fair.

Please reply here, I am watching the page. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:24, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Such a good question. And I have been inconsistent in adding a navbar for World's Fairs, but not adding it to such an appropriate World's fair category. I came across it as a redlink from the List of World's Fairs webpage which suggests a World's fair.

Art exhibition would be a good additional category (but not sufficient in itself)

It wasn't a trade fair.

Suggestion

Hello! I noticed you contributed to Middlesex University entry on Wikipedia. If you studied at that University, please consider including this userbox on your userpage. Simply paste {{Template:User Middlesex}} to your userpage. You will be added into this category Thank you. Invest in knowledge (talk) 12:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Invest in Knowledge,

Thank you for your suggestion, but I updated because I was going around disambiguating, rather than for an interest in Middlesez University

I wish you well in your recruitment activities

icarusgeek

Your recent edits

All articles require reliable sources to verify them and demonstrate notability - articles you have created such as 1959 in South African sport are completely inappropriate in this respect. Please do not mass-create such poor, unreferenced articles. If you need any guidance, please ask. Regards, GiantSnowman 11:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The 14th China Nutrition and Health Industry Expo

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The 14th China Nutrition and Health Industry Expo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, while correcting a misspelling ("eigth") in 1661 in India, I also noted that you added a date as "& October" . I suspect you meant "7 October" ('&' being SHIFT-'7'), but since I have no knowledge of this, I simply edited it to "October". If you meant "7 October," you can go back in and re-add that.

Request

Hi there ICARUS, AL from Portugal "here",

can you please restore the SPORTSPEOPLE FROM MADRID category, "en lieu" of the FOOTBALLERS FROM MADRID one you have been inserting in several Spanish footballers? I explain myself: i learned (and learned to accept) last year or so that to have PEOPLE FROM MADRID and SPORTSPEOPLE FROM MADRID was overcategorization, so have been abiding by since.

However, to have FOOTBALLERS FROM MADRID and MADRILENIAN FOOTBALLERS in the same article is over-over-categorization, because those cats are not 80% similar like SPORTSPEOPLE FROM MADRID/PEOPLE FROM MADRID, they're 100% similar! Can you accommodate and reinstate the former "goodies"?

Category of Artists from Bologna

I am not in favor of listing painters of Bologna as Artists and Painters. The Bolognese painters category can be made a subcategory of Bolognese artists. All Bolognese painters are Artists, but there are some artists (sculptors, scenographers, actors, manuscript illuminators, and engravers for example) that are not painters. For those, the category makes sense. I do not accept that it makes sense for someone already in Bolognese painters category.Rococo1700 (talk) 04:49, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

> I am not in favor of listing painters of Bologna as Artists and Painters.

I’m not quite sure what you mean…

Is this because I had been refining 'People from Bologna' to 'Artists of Bologna'? I was doing this in good faith whilst diffusing 'People from Bologna' which did not then have 'Category:Bolognese artists' as a sub category. When I, recently, became aware of 'Category:Bolognese painters' I then made it a sub category of 'Category:Artists of Bolgona', giving it, for the first time, an anchor to 'Category:People in Bologna'

(A similar category for 'Category:Parmesan painters' handles it by being a direct subcategory of 'Category:People from Parma'.)

> The Bolognese painters category can be made a subcategory of Bolognese artists.

There is no 'Category:Bolognese artists'. Bolognese painters category is (recently, as above) a subset of 'Category:Artists of Bolgona'.

Are you suggesting a second category (to distinguish 16th/17th century artists), or a rename?

I think either would be fine.

Icarusgeek (talk) 17:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

My only point is that, for example, the entry Baldassare Aloisi has both the categories :Artists of Bologna and :Bolognese painters. I think the latter suffices. I agree that :Bolognese painters can be a subcategory of :Artists of BolognaRococo1700 (talk) 00:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure I got the point across: Ercole Procaccini the Elder has both the categories:

Artists of Bologna

and

Bolognese painters

I think the latter suffices, since all :Bolognese painters are :Artists of Bologna. If you have someone who is Bolognese and is not a painter, (for example, manuscript illuminator, scenic designer, sculptor, performance artist, etc); then you can place him in the category of :Artists of Bologna.

Hi, does nationality mean Citizenship? Ilya Drakonov (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2015 (UTC).

Hi Илья Драконов,

Often nationality and citizenship are the same, but not necessarily.

This page: Template:Infobox person/doc might be helpful - it has a lot of information about how to use/populate the Infobox fields.

• For nationality it says "May be used instead of citizenship (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used with citizenship when they somehow differ. ....."
• and for citizenship it says "Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality."

For Volga Tatars I don't think that either nationality or citizenship is right as it doesn't relate to a country/sovereign state but is an identity that applies across many countries.

There is the option within an infobox to add Ethnicity: "Ethnicity. Please be sure to support with a citation from a reliable source, in the article body." which might be one approach if it's citable

Icarusgeek (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I see, but as you can see, he is not Russian, his family is from Tatarstan, so I don't know... Ilya Drakonov (talk) 17:28, 1 September 2015 (UTC).

As Tatarstan is a Russian Oblast I think that must make him of Russian nationality - because Russia is a soverign state and Tatarstan isn't (either now or during his lifetime). The nationality field could be ommitted from the info box, and then information about his Tatar background incorporated into the body of the article? Icarusgeek (talk) 12:08, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, I think the info box must have nationality as well as citizenship, so nobody would be confused. Ilya Drakonov (talk) 13:19, 2 September 2015 (UTC).

If one is Russian and the other Tatar - that would fix with using both only if they somehow differ. Why not see how it looks?

UNDO - your edit now or should I go ahead on your behalf?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loong_Kin_Sang Birth name "Lee Pui Sang 李菩生" came from "the day she was born coincidentally was the day that the Guanyin Goddess of Mercy's birthday". "Pui(菩)" came from "Guanyin Goddess of Mercy" "Sang(生)" came from "born" in Chinese

My point is that coincidences are not encyclopediac. If the originally purpose of the statement was that Loong_Kin_Sang was named because she was born on the day of Guanyin Goddess of Mercy's birthday that might just possibly be worth a mention.

If it is a coincidence then it is surely irrelevant

I'm not quite following the Italian addition in this edit. Would you explain, please. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:46, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Giovanni Ciampoli

Hi it looks like you've added the category tags '14th century Italian poets' and '15th century Italian poets' to the article on 'Giovanni Ciampoli'. In fact he was a 16th and 17th century poet so I'm not really sure why these categories are relevant. Was there a reason? Mccapra (talk) 15:18, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Umm - my computer is playing up today, so could be wrong but I don't think I've edited Giovanni Ciampoli at all - only you and one other editor have edited it.

Regards

Indian television actresses

Hi there,

I just found Indian television actresses while doing new page patrol, and I see you cleaned it up last time someone did cross-namespace moves. Now this has happened, so do you mind checking it out again? --Slashme (talk) 08:38, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Slashme,

I gave it a bash, and it kind of worked, but User:NinjaRobotPirate else came along and fixed it properly! So all is well Icarusgeek (talk) 11:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hello, just a friendly reminder that you can make your own user sandbox so you don't have to make drafts that occupy your entire user page. Regards, lovkal (talk) 11:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Lovkal,

Well you are certainly correct that it was a reminder - I'd obviously used it, and forgotten about stuff in there fromyears back!

I did manage to use it for a page I started in March, so thank you

Category for "21st-century Cuban poets"

Hi, I noticed you removed the category tag "21st-century Cuban poets" from Jorge Olivera Castillo. Could you let me know why you did this? I haven't been active on Wikipedia for a few years so am not familiar with the current categorization policies, and want to make sure that I don't misplace categories as I continue editing. Thanks! --Think Fast (talk) 20:43, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Oh Think Fast, I don't think you have anything to worry about - other than maybe being too kind to people who make idiotic erros as I obviously did with the Jorge Castillo article

Expo 67

Hi Icarusgeek. Just to make a correction. Syria had seceded from the United Arab Republic 1961. For a long time only Egypt, under Nasser was called the United Arab Republic, apparently until 1971 according to the article. Also, no big deal - but non of the other countries listed in pavilions have wikilinks so there's an issue of consistency. SlightSmile 19:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrol

Hi Icarusgeek, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — xaosflux ^Talk 17:04, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks xaosflux,

Anything that makes things easier for new page patrollers has to be a good thing (often a thankless task I suspect)

Help (how to get my page show up on search ingines

Hey,

I have created an article which edited, I want it to be seen when some searches on search ingines. Which isn't happening Can you please guide me what i need to do so that it shows up .

Thanks in advance

Abhishek :) Abhishekyadav246 (talk) 01:45, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Abhishek,

I'm afraid this isn't something that I know very much about. Articles that I have created tend to get high on search engines - but I think this is more than by luck than judgement. (Because I tend to write articles that are often not super documented on the web) However I would think that these things would almost certainly help:

• adding pertinent categories
• adding links to your article from other articles. Click on 'What links here' in the navbar to see what there is already.
• adding links from your article to others. When you do this the original creator gets an alert which draws their attention to your article. They create links to your article or may dive in and help in other ways
• links to other language wikipedias. More information here: Help:Interlanguage links
• improving your article generally. This Wikipedia:The perfect article has information about writing the perfect article

Good luck

DYK for Empire Exhibition, South Africa

On 13 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Empire Exhibition, South Africa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the first ice rink in South Africa was created for the 1936 Empire Exhibition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Empire Exhibition, South Africa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Empire Exhibition, South Africa), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Category:Coke Studio (Pakistan)

Hi there! I noticed that you reversed the edit I recently made replacing Category:Coke Studio Pakistan (Season 9) with Category:Coke Studio (Pakistan). The reason that I did this is that having a category for only season 9 is not necessary, as that would be the only page which would go into the category, making the category pointless. Would love to hear your opinion (please make sure to ping me when you post a reply). Have a nice day! Daylen (talk) 03:56, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@Daylen:

I hadn't wilfully changed your edit - it wasn't even the latest edit when I noticed Category:Coke Studio Pakistan (Season 9) and thought it was an obvious cat to use for the page. I should have looked at the cat for CFD - will try to be less adopting nextIcarusgeek (talk) 17:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@Daylen and Icarusgeek: Hi! You can participate in the discussion here. Also I had requested for help about it here. Daylen also made a request for deletion of the categories S9, S8 and S10. M. Billoo 16:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@M.Billoo2000:

I have looked at the discussion there - and don't think that I can usefully add anythingIcarusgeek (talk) 17:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

No worries Icarusgeek. Just wanted to make sure that you also support the deletion of the categories. I have also done the same thing many times in the past with HotCat. Have a good day! Daylen (talk) 18:27, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
