Disambiguation link notification for July 16[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Kleist, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afferden. 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.

Correct, solved it. Fnorp (talk) 11:51, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Netherlands vs Holland[edit]

Hello. Thank you for the correction and pointing out the difference. It is like the difference between the UK and Great Britain. I wrote the line you edited and fully admit that I wasn't aware of the mistake, and have never had the error pointed out during years of use verbally and in writing.

Cheers.

Nice to hear, thank you! Fnorp (talk) 09:52, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Holland[edit]

Hi! I notice that some (or perhaps all?) of what you do here is to change the name of the country that in English we normally (well, always, really) call "Holland" to "The Netherlands". Do you have a sound editor consensus for these changes, or is this just a personal Giraffedata-type crusade? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No that's not all I do, but yes, changing Holland (when used incorrectly, like it usually is) into the Netherlands is an important part of what I do here. Fnorp (talk) 08:41, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So do you or do you not have a sound editor consensus for those changes? If so, could you point me to it? Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me? Do I need a "sound editor consensus" for correcting errors? Fnorp (talk) 08:49, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. But, I suggest, you do need to establish that it's an error before you go around correcting it. Have you done that? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Fnorp (talk) 06:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Frank A. Ludewig[edit]

Hi Fnorp. As you can see, I've moved your draft into article space and added a few tweaks to it. Thank you so much for creating this. Note that you are an autoconfirmed user on English Wikipedia which means you can create articles directly without having to go through the Articles for Creation process which can be a bit "hit and miss", as you've discovered. If I can be of any further help, please let me know. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 07:55, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for not only saving the article but for improving it as well! I had no idea I could skip this procedure, but with this experience in mind next time I will. Fnorp (talk) 12:39, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! For your next article, you can either create it in user space, as you did with User:Fnorp/Frank A. Ludewig and when it's complete move it directly into article space by using the "Move" tab. Or, if you were the only author of the draft you can create a red link for the article title, click on it, then copy/paste the contents of your draft there and click "Save". Best, Voceditenore (talk) 13:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I used to do it like that on the Dutch Wikipedia but with all the rules and guidelines here I thought it wouldn't be that simple. Good to know I was wrong. Still puzzles me why that other person chose to make it difficult. Fnorp (talk) 10:18, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kona[edit]

Hi Fnorp, thanks for changing the links to the Netherlands, I don't know why I put Holland, a common mistake, even for myself. I was planning to find that church. I think it is this: Church of the Augustines] of Saint Augustine, which has the Crucifixion by Van Dyke in, either as a painting or mural. Being a Christian country, or a former Christian country, the Netherlands has more than a few churches and cathedrals on hand, but I don't think it would have taken too long find it. scope_creep (talk) 15:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you're welcome. "Holland" is easily enough corrected, but I had to remove the bit about the church because I was not able to track it down. The above Google books link refers to churches in Antwerp I'm afraid. There are many churches in Zutphen but not one with a name or an adress that comes close to "Vandyk". I do have access to all the necessary sources to be sure of that. But I've also tried to find the address of the house in Zutphen, and had no success here. I assume it was one of the big houses at the square near the big St. Walburg's church, but I can't find an online source to affirm this. Fnorp (talk) 12:13, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edgar Claxton[edit]

You have changed Holland to the Netherlands in this article. I had wondered about that, bearing in mind that Holland still exists as a part of the Netherlands, and that the sources all say "Holland". I never assume that I know better than the sources without strong evidence. Do you happen to know that the loco Tommy was developed outside the modern Holland area at the time when Claxton was performing his trials - in which case, where exactly? If you don't know, then we must change it back, to match the sources. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 16:14, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
