Infobox and exhibition name[edit]

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

Hi. On 10 Oct 2017, Icarusgeek added an infobox to the article. The settings applied in this infobox meant that the title/name of the exhibition (in the infobox) was given as "EXPO Cork 1902". This was/is/never has been a name applied to the International Exhibition. To address this, I changed the infobox settings. So that it did not auto-generate a "made-up/manufactured" name for the exhibition (in the infobox). This change was subsequently reverted. Flatly, if this infobox is not capable of reflecting the actual or commonname of the exhibition (and can only be used in a way that "manufactures" a totally artificial name for the event), then the infobox should simply be removed. In my opinion it would be better to have no infobox - than to have one with misleading information. Guliolopez (talk) 15:10, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved Not having heard back, I changed the infobox params to address the issue. Closing thread. Guliolopez (talk) 01:30, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for not replying to this in an appopriate time frame. I have been on an attempted wikibreak - in particular trying to avoid looking at my watchlist. When I got back and saw this it had been closed. My lesson learned is the next time to read oldest first. Again - apologies.Icarusgeek (talk) 17:15, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
