Rimini edits
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)
 * You can post your reply here, to keep the conversation in one place, as I'll temporarily watchlist the page. SJ Morg (talk) 11:00, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear @SJ Morg, thank you ever so much for your thoughtful and kind words. I think it has been a great and fruitful blessing that we converged on the Trolleybuses in Rimini article at the same time.  I'm particularly grateful for your copyedits and corrections, not to mention the care of an editor with experienced insight from the transport world, and the offline sources you have contributed, which also expanded the Metromare article.  It is of course only right that we edit Wikipedia as our circumstances, commitments, and pleasures permit -- but I suspect that, between both of our expansions, we have probably written as much as the universe of online sources will allow.  For what it's worth, I have personally been very surprised that there has been that much to write about the trolleybuses and their history!  The articles now, I believe, also provide greater depth than their Italian-language counterparts, which might prove an interesting project for me.  I intend to keep both articles permanently on my watchlist, in the hope that a future editor with access to the printed works will 'complete the (hi)story'.  More immediately, I think I will scour Google Search if there are any further citations to bring in about the Dr Fabbri section that I have largely ignored, and then move onto writing a history section for 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)

Inter language links
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.

My deepest thanks regarding Fiducia Supplicans
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)
 * 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.

Use British English on San Marino articles
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 WP:TIES would apply here? AusLondonder (talk) 16:38, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * 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:ENGVAR explicitly states: the English Wikipedia prefers no national variety over others. In my reading (and correct me if I'm wrong), 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 this mini-project, targeting stub-articles on Sammarinese curazie for WP:FEB24. I think these stubs had no established English variety (nor do I believe they use any words/spellings specific to an English variety). Having now read the guidelines, there was clearly no reason to add the tag to these stubs, but nor does MOS:ENGVAR suggest it is necessarily inappropriate.
 * That being said, as my userpage shows, most of my edits concern major revisions to articles in the local area, and I think MOS:ENGVAR permits an editor used to writing in a specific variety to tag stub-class articles they expand with that variety. Of course, my mini-project was not an article expansion, but that is to say that British English tags on other articles I have previously revised on San Marino may be justified (e.g. Funivia di San Marino, Torraccia Airfield). This clearly does not apply to the 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:PERMASTUBs that are officially recognised and therefore pass 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)
 * 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)

Deletion sorting
Hello, IgnatiusofLondon. You added a deletion sorting notice on 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 to each sorting page. I have added the link to Italy, Language, and Literature. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 03:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)


 * 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)

New Page Reviewer granted
Hi IgnatiusofLondon. Your account has been added to the " " 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:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are 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 Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the 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 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)

Articles for deletion/Game Over (2013 film)
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)


 * 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 Articles for deletion/Ian Frodsham, if that's a closure also to revisit. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 14:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

A citation barnstar for you

 * Dear Davidindia, thank you for taking the time to recognise participants. This is very, very good and kind of you! I really enjoyed the drive, and signed up to the WikiProject. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 20:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Where is Kate?
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. MSincccc (talk) 14:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @IgnatiusofLondon Please understand that renaming pages related to Catherine's wedding and engagement ceremonies to "Kate Middleton" would not be appropriate. It could be seen as endorsing tabloid journalism rather than maintaining the factual and respectful tone expected on Wikipedia. It's important to uphold the integrity of the information presented on the platform. Thank you for your understanding. Regards MSincccc (talk) 15:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind and courteous reply. I particularly appreciate your recognition of the work that went into Where is Kate?. I'm sorry that my following comments might not appear to match your grace, but I hope you can trust that my intentions are good:
 * You need to be really, really careful, because this comment, on a discussion in which I am not involved (I have not said anything about a page move), could be seen as canvassing. The proper course of action is to encourage any editors suggesting a page move to follow the instructions at WP:RM, beginning a discussion on the appropriate talk page(s) and notifying involved editors. I suspect any move discussion will be speedily closed as not moved. We should appreciate that is a new-ish editor, and may need reminding of Wikipedia's policies and processes, patiently and kindly, while they learn the ropes, like we all are still learning the ropes. The current discussion, by not following the established process, is unlikely to lead anywhere.
 * I've mentioned in the AfD discussion that I think there are WP:OWN issues affecting Catherine, Princess of Wales. Some of this comes across evidently in your comments. The article is not meant to be a concise outline of her accomplishments, nor, in my view, is it meant to blanket-ban any discuss[ion of] conspiracy theories and rumours if they have received significant coverage in reliable sources, though I appreciate the latter question is being discussed by the community at the AfD discussion. Editors acting in good faith, myself included, believe Catherine, Princess of Wales has shortcomings in its coverage for an encyclopaedic article, and may run into WP:NPOV concerns. In that respect, what is an unnecessary expansion of the main article is not down to any individual editor to decide, and you have to build consensus. I appreciate that it's emotionally tricky when an article you extensively edited and helped to promote is suddenly in the news and everyone wants to edit it, but that is what Wikipedia is. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 15:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @IgnatiusofLondon I believe all that is going on presently should receive a place on Wikipedia and that's the reason for me having supported the article's retention. Further, the main article should not include such material as Keivan would also tell you. Further I would like to collaborate with you on improving the article's quality in the coming days. Regards MSincccc (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @IgnatiusofLondon Well your suggestion to delete Where is Kate? might be viable but I can't get what you actually mean when you say that a few lines from the above mentioned article be incorporated into Catherine's main article. Her recent health issues as well as the Photograph controversy related details have been sufficiently covered in the main article. I would like to know what more you would like to include -the speculation, all those conspiracy theories or that sighting of Catherine with William at Windsor Farm Shop or with her mother in the front seat of a car. But you yourself know that once she has returned to public duties full time, the endless media coverage at present would become rather insignificant. I have addressed this issue on the third AfD page as well. I hope you have a great day ahead and looking forward to knowing from you. Regards MSincccc (talk) 07:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your incredible effort and dedication in the article Where is Kate?. Your hard work and commitment to keep it reliably sourced hasn’t gone unnoticed. To protect the integrity of the main Catherine, Princess of Wales article, creating the article was the right thing to do, and your decision to put the article up for AfD immediately was also the right thing to do. It demonstrates your commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and accuracy. Despite the uncertainty that comes with such a process, you stood by your convictions, and for that, I commend you.

The fact that the article survived the AfD speaks volumes about the consensus of the significance of the topic. Please know that there is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty. In fact, the survival of the article is a testament to its notability and the compelling arguments presented in its defence.

Your contributions enriched the article. You wrote it with a neutral tone, well sourced, kept it focused on the media coverage, and well clear from promoting the conspiracy theories.

Once again, thank you for your outstanding work. TheSpacebook (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Rightly so, To protect the integrity of the main Catherine, Princess of Wales article as @TheSpacebook puts it, is the reason why the article will sustain itself on Wikipedia if it does exist in the future. So that whenever there is extensive media coverage on the Princess, apart from all that has been confirmed by the Palace and reliable high quality sources like the BBC and ITV, the remaining information can be thrust into this article given the page is moved to an alternative title different from its present one. Looking forward to our future collaborations with each other. Regards MSincccc (talk) 07:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @TheSpacebook, thanks for your kind words, all of which equally apply to you. Unfortunately, this is not a barnstar I feel that I can accept.  Thank you, likewise, for all your hard work in continuing the article's reliable sourcing and high standards; it has been a pleasure to collaborate with you. IgnatiusofLondon ( he/him • ☎️) 12:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @IgnatiusofLondon Well will you collaborate with me to help fix the article's prose, citation parameters and other necessary stuff so as to help improve its quality and assessment class? I would be willing to do so. Regards and keep contributing to Wikipedia because regardless of whether the article is relevant or not you must have invested a significant amount of time working on it. Regards MSincccc (talk) 14:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Per the notice on my userpage, I do not intend to make any further edits in this topic area. IgnatiusofLondon ( he/him • ☎️) 14:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
