Hi Ian - I thought that Fishing industry in Denmark and Mink industry in Denmark might interest you but no worries if they aren't your cup of tea. I learned a lot from the mink article in particular.

Yeah I don't think many people know anything about that part of Spain, that's why it intrigued me. Well, if you could browse thehistory of Badajoz article on Spanish wiki and any others in the category and see if it has anything valuable we missed which can later be sourced, and browse the official website on it and browse the left column you might find some more information. A google search for anything political/economic related might also prove useful. Whatever you can find, that wqould be a great help in strengthening the article. I'll nominate for GA probably Monday.

Nice to see that you have used my picture of a Copenhagen tram on Knud V. Engelhardt.

Thanks for helping out with the copyediting. I've nommed this for GA, not much to go on and it's technically OK I think, short but sweet.

Unfortunately, the main sources seem to be rather racist news stories. Maybe there are official statistics on the various religions (and agnostics). I'll have another look.--Ipigott (talk) 15:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Ian, click edit on this section and copy and paste the following into your custom js in your preferences. If you use monobook or Vector the CW button should come up in the bar just above where you edit. It'll give you a cite web template which you can fill out with no extra effort than normal.
Copy the below
/**
* Extra buttons in toolbar
* @stats
*/
jQuery.getScript('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Krinkle/Scripts/InsertWikiEditorButton.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript', function () {
// Reflist krInsertWikiEditorButton({ "id": "mw-customeditbutton-myspecialbutton", "icon": "CW", "label": "CW", "insertBefore": "[1]\n\n", });
});
Copy the above
Depending on your browser you have to hold control shift and r after saving or whatever it tells you to do I think. Let me know if it works for you. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:26, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Go into your preferences. Click appearance. Whatever skin you use, I gather you use standard Vector - click custom javacript at the end of the line under vector: User:Ipigott/vector.js. Copy and paste the text into it and click save. If you use firefox web browser hold down Control Shift and R to bypass url. Other button options are explained on WP:RBN talk page.♦ Dr. Blofeld

Might take a minute or so to appear though. Have you ever tried using the modern, monobook or Cologne Blue skins?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:50, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Try using Monobook skin and copying what you put into the vector into the monobook. I find the former monobook skin much better rendered and lesser bland than the vector skin. To change skin, go into preferences. appearance and click the circle before any of the skins and click save at the bottom. Then paste and repeat into User:Ipigott/monobook.js. Try the modern and Cologne Blue skins if you haven't too, see which you prefer.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Way back at the beginning of the year I expanded the article Plogonnec, mostly because it was twinned with my local town. At that time you offered to help with translation etc. if I wanted to work on other French localities. I didn't take you up on this at the time because I prefer working on biology articles but I did identify about six possible articles which met my criteria (for scoring high points in the WikiCup). We are now in the final round of the WikiCup and I am thinking of going ahead with working on French locations.

Sorry about that, still working on it for the next hour or so. Can you also expand the painters section of the article with condensed text from your main article on it too. Given it's importance I think it needs a sizable section on it rather than a short paragraph.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:44, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I think it would be more useful to have a solid overview in the Skagen Painters section. this for transport might also help]. We should probably try to compile sections on Education and Sports too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:57, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Drachmann's site says 1872, have to replace source if you think 1871! OK I'm done. I've added the expand template to the remaining sections needing expansion, the Teddy museum could use a few more lines, the website I checked out has a lot of history details, probably should also have an article. The port needs a fairly detailed mention in transport I think, don't know if there's industrial info available on handling etc. If possible and administration/politics section would be good too.

Well, far be it from me to claim "ownership" of this article, any further alterations you see fit to make, please go ahead.

Thanks for starting the Ruths Hotel and others. I admit to checking your work of late because it's exciting to see what you're doing at the moment! Started Hulsig.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:43, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Ruth's Hotel - thanks for mentioning it. Did what I could but couldn't find additional en lang RS. I'll nom it in a couple of days if someone else doesn't beat me to it. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:13, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
On 7 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Imtiaz Ali Taj, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Imtiaz Ali Taj was a 20th-century Urdu dramatist who wrote Anarkali, the romance behind the 1960 Indian feature film Mughal-e-Azam? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Imtiaz Ali Taj. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Look forward to working on this. Not happy with the current montage though. I think it's rather bland with the exception of the top panorama. Can you pick some more vibrant images of the most notable landmarks from the commons and I'll request a new montage?♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:57, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Sorry about the ec! At least you expect it! Yes, sourcing in the article is poor, the shoddy websites can be replaced gradually by books as we work through it. I suggest we try to work on it one section at a time in a coordinated fashion, otherwise it's too much to focus on at once. Let's try to write as a good a history section as we can given the resources we have for starters anyway. I was going to suggest a Wikipedia:WikiProject Rosblofnari/Copenhagen sources in which we could paste urls and brainstorm sources for each section.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
I've put in the montage request. Can you check Olav Roots with German wikipedia and make some further additions/sources?♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:30, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Click edit on your tools section in User:Ipigott. I've added some blank templates hidden at the bottom. Everytime you edit or create an article you could simply copy them (right click and click copy with left button on the mouse) and paste them into you article to fill out and click copy and paste to duplicate them if you need more. If it isn't in Danish just remove the language parameter. if its German or whatever just change from Danish. It seems to make more sense to me for you to get used to using citation templates, seems as you use sfn anyway. Unless you specifically object and insist upon not using them. It's your choice, but I don't think that would require any extra effort to copy them into the articles you write and save you drawing them. Up to you anyway, perhaps you could give it a go and create some articles copying them. If it really is that difficult for you then fair enough. I don't feel strong about them to stop working with you, it's a minor thing, but I do think it would help us to edit in a consistent format.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:52, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Sigh. Did you not read a word of what I told you? If you'd followed my instructions you could have simply clicked CW or at leats copied those templates and filled it in as you went. no conversion needed. You make things difficult for yourself don't you. Don't make me feel guilty for trying to make things easier for you. It's not my fault if you don't follow my instructions.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
It's just I really have tried to make it easier, even quicker for you but it's the way you didn't follow what I said and then are complaining about you having to spend 90 minutes converting them all as if it's my fault. If you really can't get it to work using Firefox just forget it and carry on as you have been. I didn't really think it would cause much trouble at all. If it helps though I'll paste some of the blank cite web templates into the Copenhagen article for you to use at the top which are hidden. Whenever you need to draw up a web citation just copy one down and fill it out. I've pasted some into the top of the Geography section hidden for you. Anytime you need to draw up a citation to it straight into the empty parameters and move it down to where it is needed. Perhaps you'll soon get used to it. If it really upsets you using it then don't worry about it. As I say the idea was to make things easier for you and more consistent, not to trouble you.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:44, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Can't see a problem " Lars Nielsen, Alexander Lassen, Hans Thybo (2005). "Carlsbergforkastningen" (in Danish) (4). Geoviden. pp. 8–11. Retrieved 17 November 2013." Everything looks in place. If you have the date of publication from 2005 just change year to date and add e.g 16 August 2005. I used to use Internet Explorer but I found copying and pasting and wiki editing was much easier in Firefox and you don't get the irritating thing like on Explorer/Chrome where it copies everything you paste into a google search command. I currently use Firefox with a Kokila font. If I go back to Explorer now I find I have difficulties with things like templates and citations. Perhaps give Firefox a go and see if you find it easier to edit on it? Up to you of course. I know what works better for me. Sometimes I use Safari to read wikipedia as you have a reader option which makes the page look like an encyclopedic book page, but the text is way too small and fiddly to edit using Safari! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:14, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
OK I made the montage myself. Reason I didn't want to do it is because in scaling down the pictures to fit it can distort some of them and affect the quality. Not quite as bad as I envisaged but far from perfect, but I think it looks adequate and an improvement upon before anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:31, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Pity the image can't be a bit bigger. The individual shots are good but it all looks a bit cramped. The ones with a white rather than a blue sky somehow attract undue attention. Let's see what others think. I'm not too sure how much work this entails but it may be worthwhile working on an improvement with, say, not more than five or six different images. Is there an easy way to put together a preview so that we can get a better impression of what the final job will look like?--Ipigott (talk) 13:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Try now, that's the best I can do. you can't scale down pictures to fit a shape without it slightly affecting quality, at least on what I have, that was why I was hoping somebody with a professional art package could do it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:06, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Happy?♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:53, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Ian, I switched to Firefox in 2009 for wikipedia editing at my son's suggestion, and it was quite a difficult switch for me, for about a week. But it's worth being patient learning how to work within its environment. Please trust me on that. I continue to use IE at work (required) and I use Firefox for wikipedia. IMHO, editing wikipedia with Firefox is far better than with IE. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:42, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
On 19 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Port of Skagen, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the opening celebrations for Skagen's port (pictured) on 19 November 1907 included an impressive gateway of honour by Carl Locher, one of the Skagen Painters?

Could you ensure that all articles in the election/referendum series are moved. You can see all the articles listed on the template. You will also need to correct the links on the template, including the v-d-e link which you broke when you moved the template without editing it. Thanks, Number 57 12:32, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
On my version of Firefox (Firefox updates versions automatically, at least it does so on a Mac), there's a bar at the top of the screen with the url on the left side taking up 75% of the line and a search box on the right side of the line. The search box has a dropdown menu (actually, just icons for bing, google, yahoo, amazon, wikipedia, etc.) so that I can choose where I want to search for something. The search box also has a "looking glass" on its right side and when you hover over it, the word "Search" pops up. Do you see anything like that? If not, it may be hidden and we'll need to figure out how to unhide it. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:47, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Click advanced when editing a page, Click the icon on the right with the pencil. Enter Center, replace with centre. Done.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:11, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Again, I'm using a Mac. But on my screen, I have a tab at the very top called "Edit", and when I click it, a dropdown menu appears, with "Find" as an option. When I select "Find", it places a bar at the bottom of my screen with a box that says "Find in page". If I type Centre, it'll find all the occurrences of that word. ;) --Rosiestep (talk) 03:30, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
The tool bar Ian when you're editing a page. It begins with B I. Search along and click advanced. Click the pencil and notepad icon on the far right then replace.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Click here You really can't see the word Advanced above the text between the picture and special characters in the bar above the editing page?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:43, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Eureka. I used Ctrl+F on the page and "Advanced" shone up in green on the line where I have been using your CW for Web citations, etc. That was indeed why I moved to Firefox in the first place. I also see there is indeed a search and replace icon at the end of the line. Now you can really see how slow and stupid I am with these things. Fortunately I have my wife to do all my online banking, etc. The search and replace might be useful in some cases but it is dangerous in Wikipedia edit more as you need to examine each case separately (for URLs, wikilinks, etc.). Sorry to have caused you so much frustration. And thanks once again for your patience and help.--Ipigott (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
You do tend to worry about worse case scenario a lot rather than the general positive benefits and seem terribly intimidated by anything technical, I must admit. Glad that's sorted. The following two you might also find useful in your icon bar:
addOnloadHook(function() { addPortletLink('p-cactions','http://books.google.com//','GB','ca-gb'); }); addOnloadHook(function() { addPortletLink('p-cactions','http://reftag.appspot.com/','GB ref','ca-gb ref'); });
Just copy to your vector and to the control and F again. It allows you to quick search for something in google books, find a url and paste into the gb ref.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:20, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm a bit concerned with how many web sources you're using in relation to books. Copenhagen being a capital I'd hoped it would rely more on books like Marrakesh. Is it because book refs now take you longer to draw up because you won't use the ref maker? Anyway, the article is certainly starting to look a lot better, but it will needs some weeks of work I think to really do it justice! I'll try to fill in gaps with looking in google books anyway. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:14, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I didn't say the work was substandard did I? I said " the article is certainly starting to look a lot better". It's just I'm acutely aware of how many book sources could probably be used to produce the best possible article and most of the book sources to date are from me on the start I made on the history. If you looked in google books and couldn't find anything which you found in web sources that's fine. I'm sure I'll find a lot in google books myself to add to what you've written anyway. It's just for a city like Copenhagen I want it to look like it has been heavily researched in books as well as web sources. I think somewhere around 160kb like Paris would probably be needed but we'll see how much we can cram into the article and then condense it if necessary. Sorry you took my concern about the balance of sources as a criticism of the actual work you've done. Glad you're finding things easier now..♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:59, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I really don't see anything particularly critical about what I said, just one of the things I'd have done first is try to replace as many of the web sources as possible with books. I was thinking more in terms of books on the city like classical architecture and history of Copenhagen etc rather than travel guides. I've been known to oppose articles at FAC before because of lack of book sources. This article is still ongoing and you've done an excellent job expanding to date, I just thought you'd appreciate me more for being honest and try to ensure the sourcing is more balanced. I seem to recall that you were rather more critical of my Marrakesh article (and still are) and I objected to you focusing too much on the negative, I didn't realize that you also felt the same way, having also put in a lot of work already on this. As I said again, it isn't a criticism of the content and work you've put into the article but if we are to take it to GA I think it's something we need to be conscious of. I'll do my best to try to find things in the books. It's probably a good thing that you've taken on lots of Danish web sources as I wouldn't be able to use them!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
