Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited St Clement's Church, Ordsall, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gothic. 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.

Good to see you on board. I have been having a look at the background material-- particularly Manual of Style/mathematics and Help:Referencing for beginners. Not to put too finer point on it neither would pass Ofsted. Rather than cause an earthquake- I have put together a sandbox, where I have tried to gather a few threads together, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics/sandbox, I have left copius comments embedded in the page- if you have a few monments could you have a look and make a few surgical comments. The referencing issue is also interesting, there seems to be no consistent terminology for the different approved styles and a lot of confusion caused by this in the discussion. Many maths stubs are tagged for improvement- but seem too short to require inline refs. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 09:27, 27 March 2015 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-03-27T09:27:00.000Z","author":"ClemRutter","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-ClemRutter-2015-03-27T09:27:00.000Z-Lancaster.","replies":["c-Mike_Peel-2015-03-29T19:47:00.000Z-ClemRutter-2015-03-27T09:27:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Clem Rutter"}}-->

Hi @ClemRutter: working on the MoS isn't really my kind of thing, so I'll watch but probably won't contribute much. I'd generally recommend keeping things short, simple, and not over-prescriptive. And please encourage people to stick with the standard inline referencing system, rather than using one of the more bespoke ones. :-) Thanks.

I was amused as Patrick Moore had written there was nothing interesting in Microscopium, but there are some weird stars and things. However, I am a bit stumped trying to find out more and write about Microscopium Void as getting my head around large-scale universe stuff is a challenge...and I'd like to get it in somehow.

@Casliber: Hmm, it doesn't look like the microscopium void is particularly notable. The 'discovery' paper is only referenced 7 times, the latest in 1995 [1]. It might be better as a brief mention somewhere else rather than having its own article. I'll try to have a look at the constellation article later. Thanks.

On 26 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grosvenor Picture Palace, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Grosvenor Picture Palace (pictured), built in 1913–15 in Manchester, was once the largest cinema in the United Kingdom outside of London, and is now a student pub called The Footage? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Mike. On the french version of Wikipedia, I create fr:Module:Infobox/Télescope. We speak about that in fr:Projet:Astronomie/Porte des étoiles and fr:Discussion utilisateur:Simon Villeneuve.

We should work togeter to elaborate a common infobox.

You could use {{Cite newspaper The Times}} for that reference.

Hmm, shouldn't that template just redirect to {{cite news}}, perhaps auto-filling the 'newspaper' parameter? Thanks.

No, it's a dedicated template for The Times, with parameters that aren't normally used in other newspaper cites. Mjroots (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2015 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-07-02T19:57:00.000Z","author":"Mjroots","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Mjroots-2015-07-02T19:57:00.000Z-Mike_Peel-2015-07-02T19:15:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The only parameter that seems to be different, according to the documentation, is 'day_of_week'. E.g., see the following template calls (the ordering is different, but the information displayed is the same):

Author (1 January 2000). "Title". Section. The Times. No. 1. London. col 1, p. 1. {{cite news}}: |author= has generic name (help) template uses deprecated parameter(s) (help)

Author (1 January 2000). "Title". Section. The Times. No. 1. London. col. 1, p. 1, pp. 1-2. {{cite news}}: |author= has generic name (help)

The conversion between the two seems to be:
