St Laurence's Church, Frodsham

Active, as distinct from "redundant" - for example All Saints Church, Harthill; that is the general understanding of the term. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

Would you have any objection to using the 'reflist' system at Irish International Exhibition (1907). I added my minor contrib. with this system and assumed it was correctly ref'd, but the cite did not appear because of formatting incompatibility. Reflist seems now to be usual practice across the 'pedia. I'll 'rejig' your refs in accordance, if you agree with this change. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 23:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No objection at all :-) Icarusgeek (talk) 18:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted

Please take care to look at dates and years. Fyodor Schechtel, who died in 1926, had nothing to do with the pavilion built for the 1939 exhibition (which was designed by V. A. Ashastin). The 1923 exhibition was held at a different location (present-day Gorky Park). Schechtel's pavilion represented not Turkmenistan but Turkestan, i.e. Central Asia in general.

"Several brightly coloured buildings" at the 1901 Glasgow exhibition need more research. All contemporary images that I saw don't look like "brightly coloured" - just ordinary log buildings, but then of course it's black and white photographs. Schechtel's own drafts show quite a bunch of colours, but these were dark colours (dark crimson, purple, dark blue) mixed with natural untreated wood. NVO (talk) 01:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
