Wikimedia tidy up needed
[edit]This needs a bit of a tidy up. We have an article for the building (this one) and for the theatre as an organisation / art group (Fortune Theatre, Dunedin). The original Wikidata item that was set up was for the heritage building, but it's linked to the theatre article. Similarly, the relevant Commons category is linked to the theatre but its scope is arguably the building. That there isn't a Wikidata item for this page will resolve itself in this tidy up; it's the theatre that needs a new Wikidata entry. Schwede66 01:50, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Schwede66, I realised we discussed this elsewhere so just recording here for posterity that the tidy up was done. DrThneed (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Titel
[edit]I am puzzled at the use of 'Holy' in the title, as I have never seen this word used in the name in the church's own publications, or newspapers of the time, and it is not used in Croot's Dunedin Churches . It is surprising as it seems an un-Methodist, more Anglican style. The style used was earlier usually Trinity Wesleyan Church, and later Trinity Methodist Church. Or simply Trinity Church. I suspect the title here comes from being referred to once this way within the body of the brief Heritage New Zealand online listing. Mevad (talk) 01:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Mevad, thank you for this. I created the article with the title I first found for the church (which probably was in the Heritage NZ listing as you suggest) although I did later have misgivings as to whether that was incorrect or other people had just dropped the 'Holy' as a shorthand. I'll move the article to Trinity Methodist Church, Dunedin leaving this name as a redirect, and also create a redirect for Trinity Wesleyan Church, Dunedin in case anyone is looking for it with that name. Would that satisfy? DrThneed (talk) 02:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- DrThneed Yes, thanks very much, and for creating the article. Mevad (talk) 04:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Mevad, no trouble, all done, thanks for bringing it to my attention. DrThneed (talk) 04:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
