Happy editing! --Ymblanter (talk) 19:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to leave a note to let you know that, while your extensive contributions to the Trolleybuses in Rimini article are very welcome (and impressively good quality for someone who identifies as a new editor), and have – within this month – made the article far longer (and better overall) than any of the other 15 articles about individual trolleybus systems in Italy, you appear to have a lot more time to work on this than I do (perhaps you are retired; I am not), and I have a long list of other WP articles I want to edit. I won't be able to keep working on that article every day, or even every third day. But, as I said, your work on this has been very welcome, and impressive for someone who says he is not a transport enthusiast. FYI, until this past week, the best "Trolleybuses in [city]" WP articles for Italy were those on Bologna and Modena (BTW, I realize you have no interest in working on those; your interest is in Rimini subjects), but the Rimini one is now better than either of those! But for certain other cities, those articles are extremely brief (e.g. Ancona), and now that I and you have greatly expanded and improved the Rimini article I am more interested in spending my very limited WP editing time improving some of those rather than continuing to work on the Rimini one. But I am not saying I'm stopping altogether. – SJ Morg (talk) 08:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @

Federico Fellini International Airport. (I thought also to close the move discussion I started on which we initially conversed after at least a week has passed, in case any other editors would like to contribute, with the consensus neither to move nor split.) Wishing you happy editing, and every success for the other trolleybus articles! IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 17:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

Hi if you’re using the standard skin for Wikipedia the way you create ILLs is:

1. Go to the “tools” menu top right and hit “edit interlanguage links.” 2. This brings up a dialogue box asking you for the language you’re connecting to (e.g. “itwiki) and the name of the article you’re connecting to (e.g. “Inno dei lavoratori”). 3. That’s it. Mccapra (talk) 18:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Mccapra: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave these instructions for me; I really appreciate it. I can't believe I missed that link; it looks so obvious now! And thank you for your article review. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 19:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 11 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Carla Ronci, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Carla Ronci, an Italian declared venerable by the Catholic Church, is remembered as the "Vespa saint"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carla Ronci. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Carla Ronci), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

You have persistently been one of the best editors of Fiducia Supplicans, and have helped me make better edits and have made incredibly helpful fixes to my unneeded or erroneous statements. Looking over your profile, you are doing a fantastic job overall.

From a lover of all things Wikipedia, I would like to express my sincerest thanks for all of your good work and commitment to quality and Wikipedia standards.

You have also managed to point out flaws in edits, both of my own and others in a constructive and charitable way.

Your great work has not gone unnoticed. I very rarely go out of my way to leave a topic like this on someone's page, or any topic at all on someone's profile for that matter, but because of your exceptional work and commitment I felt that it deserved recognition. Ysys9 (talk) 15:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ysys9: Thank you for your exceedingly kind and much-appreciated comments. As a new-ish editor who usually works on much less "heated" articles, it means a lot to hear that my contributions are of some value to the community! Your words really mean a lot; thank you. It is a great joy to collaborate with you, and you, equally, have creatively added a great deal of balance and perspective to the current article. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 22:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there can I ask why you are tagging a large number of articles about geographic places in San Marino with the use British English tag? I don't see how

Hello! I had actually not come across

MOS:TIES

before; I am really, really grateful you've stopped by my talk page to share the link. Thank you. In all honesty, I didn't realise it was an issue:

• I had assumed there was not necessarily a preference between varieties of English, something which, on reflection, I think is supported by the guidelines.
  MOS:TIES
  requires tied articles to use a specific variety, but is silent on articles that are not tied (which would include articles relating to San Marino).
• Nonetheless, I see now that the guidelines say: When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary and use the variety found in the first post-stub revision that introduced an identifiable variety. This is a policy I have almost certainly unknowingly violated on several articles on San Marino. That being said:
  • I'm not sure which articles you have in mind, but most of my tags are probably from
    MOS:ENGVAR
    suggest it is necessarily inappropriate.
  • That being said, as my
    curazie
    mini-project, which I assumed flagged my tags for you.

I would be happy to go back and remove my tags. But I would suggest that this might not be a matter of priority for the vast majority of the articles affected by the mini-project, and, if you're happy, I can "get round to it" as and when I revisit these articles, which I do intend to expand as much as possible in the medium- to long-term. (Most of those articles are

WP:NGEO

, but have little realistic prospect of major expansion.) An editor recently warned me that I was capitalising Province in wikilinks on Italian articles against a consensus of which I was unaware, and that editor was similarly happy for me to fix my mistakes as and when I return to those articles.

Let me know what you think. Once again, thank you for stopping by and alerting me! IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 17:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for your reply, sorry for my delay in getting back to you. My understanding is the ENGVAR tags should only be used on articles with ties to one variety of English: for example, an article on Toronto should use Canadian English while Las Vegas should use American English. The other time the tag should be used is when an article on a topic not related to any one country was created using one variety of English, as with Orange (colour) using British English. The San Marino stubs such as Cà Giannino are not using any specific variety of English and don't have ties to any one variety. That's why I don't think the tags are necessary or appropriate. It's not an enormous problem but I'd suggest not adding the tags in future unless there's a rationale for using them. AusLondonder (talk) 16:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, IgnatiusofLondon. You added a deletion sorting notice on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forlivese dialect, but you did not add the discussion to the pages you mentioned. To add a deletion to a sorting page, you need to add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ARTICLE TITLE}} to each sorting page. I have added the link to Italy, Language, and Literature. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 03:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!! Thank you for letting me know – I was under the impression that this was done automatically once the notice was added. I really appreciate the correction, and thank you for fixing my mistake! IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 13:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IgnatiusofLondon. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group for a trial period of three months. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• usually
  not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using
  general notability guideline
  .
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. If you wish to retain the right after your three-month trial period has concluded, you may re-apply for this right permanently at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reversed your "keep" closure at this discussion and relisted it. There was no consensus for a "keep" result at this discussion, as only one individual argued to keep and a later one asserted that there was nonetheless insufficient reference material available to justify an article. Please don't let this discourage you from helping out with closing AfDs, but do take care that there is in fact a consensus prior to doing so. Otherwise, relisting for more discussion may be the best call. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 14:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Seraphimblade, thanks for letting me know. I thought there was sufficient consensus against a deletion to avoid relisting the article, but this is a helpful correction for the future. For similar reasoning, I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ian Frodsham, if that's a closure also to revisit. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 14:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not the article remains, I want to acknowledge the effort you, @IgnatiusofLondon, put into building the above mentioned article from scratch. However, it's important to remember that Catherine's biography is meant to be a concise outline of her accomplishments, not a detailed record. Avoiding unnecessary expansion of the main article is crucial, which is why the article you created provides a platform to discuss conspiracy theories and rumors without cluttering the main page. I have nothing more to add at this point, but I hope we can continue collaborating in the future. Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance. Regards.
