Have time on Saturday?
I'm sorry for the last-minute notice, but on Saturday, June 8, from 3 to 6 PM, Wikimedia DC and the Cato Institute are hosting a Legislative Data Meetup. We will discuss the work done so far by WikiProject U.S. Federal Government Legislative Data to put data from Congress onto Wikipedia, as well as what more needs to be done. If you have ideas you'd like to contribute, or if you're just curious and feel like meeting up with other Wikipedians, you are welcome to come! Be sure to RSVP here if you're interested.

I hope to see you there!

metro_archbishop
Is there some reason you are removing the metro_archbishop field, which lists the metropolitan archbishop of suffragan dioceses? Elizium23 (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, archbishops have no direct leadership authority in the suffragan sees and should not be listed as "Leadership" in a suffragan see. They preside at the meetings of the provincial bishops, but primarily function as the diocesan bishop of the archdiocese.  The communion of any diocese with the larger church is found between its bishop and the Bishop of Rome.  That is why in the Eucharistic Prayer the assembly, by way of the priest, prays for the pope and the diocesan bishop(s) and not the metropolitan, unless of course they are in a metropolitan archdiocese.  An archbishop only exercises "authority" in a suffragan see when there is a serious irregularity in the see or when he is elected, or appointed, administrator sede vacante. Even then his authority may be limited given the circumstances.  Farragutful (talk) 01:30, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You have good points. Perhaps that is a discussion for Template talk:Infobox diocese to clarify the field's usage. Elizium23 (talk) 01:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I hadn't thought about that. I don't care for the English "Infobox diocese" to begin with.  I prefer the Italian one. Farragutful (talk) 01:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It is probably best to seek wider consensus on a change like this before implementing it all over. The template talk page may be a small audience. You could try WT:CATHOLIC or start an RFC. Elizium23 (talk) 02:04, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Wichita, Kansas), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Glennon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Image request
Do you ever get down below Muscatine when you're back in Iowa? I visited the state for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and while I had only a little time, I was able to get photos of a few National Register sites, including all in Louisa County — except one. The County Line Bridge is on a dirt road, and that day was wet enough that I feared getting stuck. If you have a chance when you're next in the area, I'd appreciate it if you could try to get down that way, so that National Register of Historic Places listings in Louisa County, Iowa could be fully illustrated. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 22:07, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It's rare that I get below Muscatine these days. That being said, I do know the area and I was thinking at some point I might go down that way.  I will only be in Iowa for a weekend this winter so there is no time and I will probably be there next summer.  I was planning to go to Clinton County (to the north), however, that could change.  Thanks for getting the Louisa County pics. I don't blame you for not going down that road.  I don't like them on sunny dry days. I also looked at the map just now and I noticed the bridge is further south than what the coordinates they give show.  I'll change it. Farragutful (talk) 23:44, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Montage
Nice job on the montages! Are you going to make one for the QC page, and any buildings you want pics of for Bettendorf or East Moline? C T F  8  3 !  22:54, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was thinking I would make one for the QCs.  The Bettendorf pics were horrible.  I'm going to be in town at the end of the month and thought I might look around then.  I was going to re-shoot my pics of the convention center and I was thinking that Duck Creek at Devils Glen is nice.  I was also considering the I-74 Bridge from Moline looking toward downtown Bettendorf.  If you want to take some of these pics now, or any others you can think of, I would certainly use them.  I'm less familiar with East Moline than the others, so whatever you think represents the city would certainly help.  I hope all is well.Farragutful (talk) 23:04, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * EM is definitely my least familiar, but I'll see what I can come up with. C T  F  8  3 !  01:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Good work on Bettendorf! You fixed my slacking of taking a I-74 pic! :) C T  F  8  3 !  10:11, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Not a problem. I was in town in late April so I drove around and found a couple of places to photograph. I'll try to do the same next month in East Moline, but to be honest I'm not sure what that could be. Farragutful (talk) 13:10, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Two edit-a-thons coming up!


Hello there!

I'm pleased to tell you about two upcoming edit-a-thons:

 * On Saturday, May 10 we have the Wikipedia APA edit-a-thon, in partnership with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, from 10 AM to 5 PM.

We have more stuff coming up in May and June, so make sure to keep a watch on the DC meetup page. As always, if you have any recommendations or requests, please leave a note on the talk page.

Dioceses Coat of Arms
Since I noticed that you also work/edit the Archdiocese/Diocese in the US pages, I submitted a set of 37 low res Coat of Arms images to "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Alekjds" page.

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Photos of US Cathedrals
You the Man!! You took my little project of adding photos of Archdioceses/Dioceses and made it grow. Hopefully we will get them all. Is there anybody out there in Kansas listening? Roberto221 (talk) 04:58, 13 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. My project was to get articles written for all the cathedrals and then get photos.  I got three photos this year by asking people in those areas if they could take them.  The guy who took the Youngstown photo travels so I'm hoping the rest in that general area are taken care of now.  Kansas, as you say, is the question.  I haven't been there in a long time and I have no plans to go there any time soon.  I'll keep at it though.  Farragutful (talk) 12:12, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

St. Raphael/St. Patrick in Madison, Wisconsin
From what I understand, St. Raphael is now demolished and St. Patrick is now the Pro Cathedral for Madison until the new St. Raphael is constructed. But there isn't a lot of info for St. Patrick on their wiki page. I wanted to change the "List of the Catholic cathedrals of the United States" page to reflect this.

 * I'm skeptical of the GCatholic information. The Madison situation has always been unclear to me.  I know that St. Raphael's was taken down some time ago and a "Cathedral Parish" with the two remaining downtown churches was established.  Parish-wise I understand the situation, but not cathedral-wise.  Only one church gets the chair unless there are co-cathedrals, and every Catholic diocese is supposed to have a cathedral church with a cathedra.  The Diocese of Madison website is most unhelpful unless one wants to make a donation.  The parish website does not designate either church a pro-cathedral, in fact it lists them as Holy Redeemer Church and St. Patrick Church.  The parish offices are located at St. Patrick's, but that doesn't make it the pro-cathedral per se.  If I read it correctly the new cathedral, which will be located on the site of the former cathedral, will be be named St. Raphael's.  The cathedral fire was ten years ago this month and there does not appear to be any noticeable movement toward building a new cathedral, which I find strange, if not curious.  I also googled "st. patrick pro-cathedral madison wi" and got nothing but St. Patrick's Church in Madison and St. Raphael's Cathedral.  Personally, I would do nothing at this time unless you have information that I could not find.  If not, you could contact the parish or the diocese to see what they say.  They should know, but then again they may be just as confused.  I worked for the Church long enough to know that that's a distinct possibility. Farragutful (talk) 14:10, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

That's the same way I felt when I researched it, confusing and unclear which is why I contacted you to see if you had any insight.

 * I think I would leave it alone for the time being. If the diocese makes a move in one direction or another then you can adjust the pages accordingly.  Farragutful (talk) 22:36, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Redirects
Why are you redirecting historical building pages? C T F 8 3 !  20:29, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Le Claire is misspelled in the titles. Farragutful (talk) 20:30, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * LOL, good call. Sorry, I shoulda known it wasn't for a bad reason. C T F 8 3 !   20:32, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I found the NRHP nomination forms/photos six months ago so I'm rewriting all the pages in Scott County as I have time. I thought I'd make other corrections as well.  There were only five incorrect photos.  I'll be there in two weeks and I'm planning to retake them, although I suspect the Spencer House in PV has been torn down.

Disambiguation link notification for April 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of county courthouses in Iowa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hardin County Courthouse. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

New COA for Bishop Sis, San Angelo, Texas
I just received a file from the web master at San Angelo to upload a new file for Bishop Sis' new COA. The one on his wiki page is a .svg file which I can't upload cause none of my editing tools has capabilities to do .svg. It arrived as an Adobe document. Can you help me?

Roberto221 (talk) 22:17, 21 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I wish I could. I downloaded a program a year or so ago to do .svg images, but I didn't have much success.  I also didn't stick with it as much as I should. Farragutful (talk) 00:49, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

New Cathedral pics
Over the weekend, I emailed the Dioceses whose pictures that are missing from the Wiki pages and I got responses from 4 of them: Basilica of the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart - Charleston, WV, Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help - Rapid City, SD, Cathedral of the Holy Spirit - Bismarck, ND, Sacred Heart Cathedral - Salina, KS.

Unlike my previous edits and uploads, I wasn't aware of the copyright issues involved or the procedures with images. Hopefully I can get them resolved. Roberto221 (talk) 00:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Good work. I've never gotten an image that way, but I thought all that was needed was an email from, in this case the diocese, with permission to use the image that has to be turned in to Wikimedia. I guess there's more to it. I've worked with copyrights in the past and I know they have to be on top of the issue. I'm going to be in Orlando for a couple of days in August and I should be able to get St. James.  It's possible that I could get to Joliet in July, but it's not for sure.  I'm also going to be in Honolulu in January and I plan to get the co-cathedral then.  Those are the only places I plan to be in where there are no photos.

OTRS
After I upload the image, where do I place the 'subst:OP' template, on the talk page? Roberto221 (talk) 21:37, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Place the 'subst:OP' template below the "Information" template on the regular "File" page (the one with the photo on it) and above the 'int:license-header' (Licensing).Farragutful (talk) 23:31, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Sui iuris Churches
Can I ask why you have started to remove sui iuris Church names from the Cathedral infoboxes? I disagree with your changes. It reduces the information conveyed in this space. Please seek WP:CONSENSUS before continuing. Elizium23 (talk) 22:37, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The infoboxes for churches are color coded. The Catholic Church is that ugly, pale, whatever color that is, not olive green.  They should all reflect their inclusion in the Catholic Church, not their exclusion as "Uniates."  Some of the sui iuris churches are included already, i.e. the Maronites for example, but most are not. I stopped changing them and decided instead to request the infobox be changed to include all of the churches. Farragutful (talk) 22:59, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I see. I agree completely. Thank you very much. Elizium23 (talk) 23:21, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
