Lovely article. I'd like to nominate it for WP:DYK. What do you think? BorgQueen (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello BorgQueen,

Thank you for your comment and proposal. Certainly, please do! If there is a need for further improvement of the article, I would also be happy to help. Jason Lagos (talk) 11:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great! As for the hook, how about: ... that the Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution in Brussels is surmounted by an allegorical figure of Liberty inscribing the days of 23, 24, 25 and 26 September 1830 in her golden book? BorgQueen (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds good to me! Jason Lagos (talk) 11:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll be nominating soon. (Sorry I got distracted a bit, hence the delay.) BorgQueen (talk) 03:07, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. BorgQueen (talk) 21:34, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks again! Jason Lagos (talk) 23:11, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On 8 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution is surmounted by a statue of Liberty (pictured) inscribing the days of 23, 24, 25 and 26 September 1830 in a book? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Monument to the Martyrs of the 1830 Revolution), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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 Jason,

im wondering if you have anymore information regarding John Cockerill and family? Do you have a preferred method of contact, such as email?

Thanks in advance, Tyler Cockerill Tyler Cockerill (talk) 18:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi John and thanks for reaching out.

I do not believe I have more information than what is freely available on the internet. What specific details are you looking for? Jason Lagos (talk) 14:44, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jason Lagos!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Hi @Jason Lagos,

I think it could be useful to create a portal of all thing Brussels a bit like Portal:London (There used to be one but it was deleted as it was abandoned early on and was missing a lot of stuff). This is quite a big job and I was wondering if you could help me with this endeavor. As I see you are quite active on the Brussels side of Wikipedia.

Don't hesitate to asked me more questions of you have them.

Have a nice day,

JhowieNitnek. Jhowie_Nitnek (talk) 19:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Jhowie and thanks for your proposal. Although I would be more than happy to support your efforts, I would be cautious about attempting this. Not only is portal creation a big endeavour, as you mentioned, but Wikipedia is actually quite strict about portal maintenance and traffic. In short, the creation of portals should be limited to topics that will garner significant interest and dedicated maintainers, to prevent their removal. I can only imagine that the failure to meet those requirements was the reason why the old Brussels portal was abandoned and merged into Portal:Belgium. Wishing you a good night, too! Jason Lagos (talk) 22:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Folklore of Belgium, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 18:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kowal2701,

Thank you for the invitation. I will not be joining for now, but good luck with the project! Jason Lagos (talk) 19:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, no worries Kowal2701 (talk) 19:21, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jason Lagos, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Femke and many thanks for the approval! Jason Lagos (talk) 00:46, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jason, I noticed a strange text in both English and French articles on Paul Hankar: "From 1879 to 1904, he worked in the studio of the prominent architect Henri Beyaert". But Paul Hankar died in 1901 and Beyaert in 1894... I looked at the edit history and found that on 5 February 2022 you took this text from the article Art Nouveau in Brussels and then in 2024 it was copied into the French version by someone and then it spread all over the internet. According to https://brussels.en-academic.com/331/Hankar%2C_Paul-Jean-Joseph the correct year would be 1894, so probably just a typo that unfortunately spread. I could try to fix it myself wherever I find it or maybe you could deal with it as a much more experienced Wikipedian? Marassa (talk) 06:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marassa,

Thank you for noticing this! It does indeed look like a typo from the original poster. No worries — I will correct it on the English/French articles and everywhere necessary. Jason Lagos (talk) 15:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
