Ramblers

Darwin's "sandwalk" at Down House in Kent was his usual "thinking path".

bushwalking, volksmarching, trekking, and hiking. there are more than 400 flights of stairs (known in the local dialect as the "Stäffele") around the city, equivalent to approximately 20 km (12 mi) of steps. Later, in the early 19th century, the city continued to grow and many vineyards were replaced by houses and streets and the Stäffele were used as footpaths to connect the newly built neighborhoods. Some of the stairs were elaborately decorated with fountains and plantings.

Walking (essay)

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/apr/20/frederic-gros-walk-nietzsche-kant Walking the streets (particularly around London) formed an integral part of his writing life, stoking his creativity. Dickens was known to regularly walk at least a dozen miles (19 km) per day, and once wrote, "If I couldn't walk fast and far, I should just explode and perish."

Walking and Creativity

There is ample anecodtal evidence from scientists, poets, philosophers, novelsts and other thinkers of a possible length between walking and creativity. More recently science has begun exploring the possibility of a connection.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/how-to-think-about-exercise/201501/charles-darwins-daily-walks For a long while many "influential thinkers have instinctively moved their bodies to open their minds". Charles Darwin thought about evolution while walking his “thinking path”, and Frederich Nietzsche stated “Do not believe any idea that was not born in the open air and of free movement”; in an article in The New York Times, American novelist Joyce Carol Oates said: “The structural problems I set for myself in writing … I can usually unsnarl by running in the afternoon”. Now medical science is providing further evidence to support these claims. According to neuroscientist Dr Chong Chen, of Yamaguchi University, Japan, “'Even ... a brief bout of aerobic exercise' such climbing four flights of stairs "can ignite creative thinking”. An article, by Marily Oppezzo and Daniel L Schwartz, titled "Give your ideas some legs: the positive effect of walking on creative thinking", argues that the "Walking opens up the free flow of ideas, and it is a simple and robust solution to the goals of increasing creativity and increasing physical activity". an Irish neuroscientist Shane O'Mara, professor of experimental brain research at Trinity College Dublin and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. has recently published a book on this subject.

Walking and Health

Walking is multi-faceted human activity. Humans walk to school and to work, or may have a job that entails walking; it is a form of recreation and a sport; it is a low-impact type of exercise, with possible health benefits; it is walking a dog or other animal; it can be part of a spiritual practice; others use it to spur their creative juices, or to seek an aesthetic experience; it is an aspect of hunting and foraging for wild fruits, mushrooms and plants. Geology, archeology, botany, zoology frequently involves some walking.

A hike is in America a long walk, usually on trails or footpaths in the countryside.In Britain and Canada the words "hike" and "walk" (and ramble in Britain) are used interchangeably and do not necessarily imply a length or vigor. In Britain the term hillwalking is soetimesused to descibe walking across high ground, including mountains.

Walking groups are effective and safe with good adherence and wide-ranging health benefits. They could be a promising intervention as an adjunct to other healthcare or as a proactive health-promoting activity.

According to McMaster University's Institute for Research on Aging Nordic Walking has greater health benefits than regular walking for both. Research shows the benefits and advantages of Nordic walkingin both healthy individuals and for people with chronic conditions.

Walking and Spirituality

Walking meditation is an important meditative technique in Theravāda and Zen traditions, that takes the form walking slowly and mindfully in a straight path or circle, focusing attention on each step, the movement of the feet, the breath, and bodily sensations. It is often used in alternation with sitting meditation during spiritual retreats and daily practice to integrate mindfulness into bodily movement. In many other religions, in both the East and the West, undertaking a pilgrimage to a sacred shrine is an important spiritual tradition.

Marian Powys

Emily Marian “May” Powys, later Mrs Powys Grey (27 October 1882 – 1 March 1972), was a British-born lace maker, designer, dealer, teacher, consultant, and author who worked mainly in the United States. She was known for her expertise in handmade lace, founded the Devonshire Lace Shop in New York in 1916, advised museums and legal cases, and published Lace and Lace Making in 1953.

Born in Dorset, England, Powys studied art and lace making before travelling to New York, where her brother John Cowper Powys spent part of each year. After early office work, she established herself professionally through her shop, teaching, collecting, consulting, and writing. She became an American citizen in 1941.

Powys was born in Fordington, Dorset (Dorchester), in 1882, before the family moved to Montacute, Somerset. She was the daughter of the Reverend Charles Francis Powys and Mary Cowper Johnson. She was one of eleven children in the Powys family; her siblings included John Cowper Powys, Llewelyn Powys and Theodore Francis Powys, Philippa Powys, Gertrude Mary Powys[[, and A. R. Powys.

Powys was introduced to lace through her mother’s cousin, Lady Philippa Mary Shirley. She attended Norwich High School for Girls while staying with her aunt Theodora Johnson, and in 1898 studied art at the Yeovil School of Art and Science with her sister Gertrude. Between 1908 and 1909 she studied lace making at Yeovil and later taught Honiton lace making there. By 1910 she was teaching in Yeovil and at the Newquay School of Lace Making, and in 1911 she was working as a lace maker and designer at the Chudleigh Lace School in Newquay, Cornwall.ref>1911 England Census.</ref> She also travelled in Europe to study lace and lace making, including periods in Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.,

Powys returned to New York in December 1913 and remained there. In a letter dated 7 July 1914, her mother wrote that Powys had passed a shorthand examination and entered her name with an employment bureau. She initially worked as secretary to August Heckscher, the German-born American businessman and philanthropist. In 1915 she won a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. In 1916 she opened the Devonshire Lace Shop at 60 Washington Square, New York, with financial assistance from Theodore Dreiser and Heckscher. Through the shop and related work, Powys developed a reputation as a specialist in handmade lace. She maintained a lace business in New York until 1945, lectured and taught, worked with the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, advised museums, and provided expert advice in legal cases. Sources report that her clients included Eleanor Roosevelt, Katharine Hepburn, Isadora Duncan, the Vatican, European royalty, and wealthy American families. Powys had a son, Peter Powys Grey, born on 24 June 1922. His father was Ernest Angell, an American lawyer and author who later served as president of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1950 to 1969. According to biographical accounts, Powys and her brother John Cowper Powys presented Peter’s father as a man named Peter Grey who had died soon after the child’s birth.

Powys closed the Devonshire Lace Shop in 1945, reportedly because of changing taste, but continued to work with lace. In 1946 she was appointed as a consultant to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Powys published Lace and Lace Making in 1953.

In 1951, lace from her collection was shown at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York in an "deliciously outrageous"installation organized by John Bernard Myers and designed by the abstract expressionist painter Alfred Leslie. Amongst those who attended was Jackson Pollock, who "took great pleasure in the notion of art anonyme: the rhythms of swirl and cross stitch". On learning of this, Marian "said she admired the lovely skein pictures of Mr Pollock", and had recommended new lace makers find inspiration in his splendid conceptions".ref>Myers, Tracking the Marvelous, p. 131.</ref>

Marian Powys died on 1 March 1972 at Snedens Landing, Palisades, Rockland County, New York, aged 89. In 1982 there was a retrospective exhibition of lace from her collection.

Jackson Pollock

Chris Thomas Marian Powys and Jackson Pollock At last year’s conference one of our members handed me a copy of the New York Review of Books, Summer 2023 issue. Inside I found a review, by Jed Perl, of the catalogue for The Clamor of Ornament: Exchange, Power and Joy from the Fifteenth Century to the Present, an exhibition of images, drawings and objects held at the Drawing Centre in New York from June 15 to September 18 2022. I was more than a little surprised to find a reference in the review to the admiration the American abstract artist, Jackson Pollock, expressed for Marian Powys and her lace collection. I am not sure if this relationship is very widely known although Peter Powys Grey refers to the connection in an article ‘In these Delicate Constructions’ in Newsletter 37, July 1999, p.5, remarking that Marian “was apt to cite Jackson Pollock as a source of inspirationfor younger lace designers.” The reference in the New York Review of Books is worth quoting here: “There is a wonderful passage about the unity of the ornamental impulse in the memoirs of the mid twentieth century New York gallery director John Bernard Myers, Tracking the Marvellous: a life in the New York art world (1983). Myers recalls that in the early days of the Tibor de Nagy Gallery where he exhibited artists including Helen Frankenthaler and Larry Rivers, he mounted a show of antique lace from the collection of a Mrs Grey. Among the most enthusiastic visitors was Jackson Pollock who: “came twice and took great pleasure in the notion of art anonyme; the rhythm of swirl and cross hatch, even the highly conventionalised images of French eighteenth century 37 lace, with its peacocks, pheasants, roses, waterfalls, grottoes, pagodas, ruins and costumed personages, delighted him.” Myers hardly needs to explain that for Pollock, the rhythms and convolutions of these ornamental achievements had some kinship with his own paintings, with their dripped painterly arabesques. As for Mrs Grey, the lace collector, she wasn’t surprised by Pollock’s response, for she was an admirer of his “lovely skein pictures.” What Pollock and the anonymous lace makers shared was a language.” The Powys Newsletter 119

John Cowper Powys Wolf Solent: Ann Solent: Wolf's mother. She and Wolf have lived in London since Wolf was ten. She eventually follows Wolf to Dorset. Krisdottir suggests that her character is based on that of Powys sister Marian, who followed him to New York, became an expert in lace and started her own business there. "l have an idea that you will like ~ picture of you as Mrs. William Solent in my new book ... " (Letter to Marian Powys, 25th May 1926, MS) Hodgson 's thesis

as I already stated in my study of Marian, after learning all she could about lace in England and in many other European countries, she left for the United States, greatly helped in her escape by John. To his surprise, she had “a perfect mania for ‘going into Society’ of every and any kind.”17 She became one of the most knowledgeable lace specialists. ... she was practical- minded, lively, eager to live with all her might, and thanks to her skill and integrity became the lace expert whose knowledge would be sought by Museums and US Customs. She had the courage to bring up a child, born illegitimately, with pride and great tenderness, and that must not have been too easy at the time, even in the States. When she was already 76 and crippled by arthritis, she flew to Africa to see Will, then went to visit John and Phyllis in Blaenau Ffestiniog, and finally Katie and Lucy in Dorset, and stopped in Greece on her way back, no mean feat! As her son Peter, her friends and Glen Cavaliero remembered her, she showed a ferocious energy in everything she undertook.

A page can usually be renamed if the existing title is incorrect or needs to be changed; this is done by moving a page (also commonly referred to as performing a move).

Any autoconfirmed users can perform a proper page move by following the instructions at § How to move a page in almost all circumstances. If you expect the page move to be controversial, or if you encounter a technical barrier preventing you from performing it yourself, you can request that someone else move the page at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

However, do not perform a page move by creating a new page and then cutting and pasting the content over to it. Doing so will instead cause two page locations to exist side-by-side regarding the exact same subject, each with its own revision histories and content, and where any changes that are made to one location do not "synchronize" or "update" the other (or vice versa). Files can only be moved by administrators and file movers, but file moves can be requested. Category moves should be investigated and planned before they are initiated.

Reasons for moving a page

There are several good reasons to move a page:

• The title does not follow Wikipedia's naming conventions, e.g., it is not a common name of the subject or is overprecise.
• The name of the subject of the article has been changed and the new name has come into majority use.
• The title has been misspelled, does not contain standard capitalization or punctuation, or is misleading or inaccurate.
• It needs to be disambiguated in some way to avoid confusion with an existing, similarly named topic, or it exists at a disambiguated name but should not because it is the primary topic.
• It is an article at a descriptive name and the scope of the article has been reduced, extended or otherwise changed.
• It is an article that has been created as a subpage of a Wikipedian's user or user talk space for development purposes and it is ready to be moved to the mainspace or to draft space.
• It is a draft article that has been created or edited in draft space for development purposes and is ready to be moved to the mainspace.

Before moving a page

Consider listing pages that you want to move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. You can list them at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests if it appears unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move, and:

• You are unable to move the page because your account is too new (the account must be autoconfirmed);
• You are unable to move the page because the target page exists;
• The page is protected from moves or the target page is protected from creation.

For other cases, follow the instructions for controversial and potentially controversial moves:

• If you believe the move might be controversial
• If you are unsure about the best page name, despite reading Wikipedia:Article naming guidelines
• If you believe your proposed move would benefit from wider community input

Do not move or rename a page by copying and pasting its content, because doing so fragments the edit history. Wikipedia's copyright license requires acknowledgement of all contributors, and editors continue to hold copyright on their contributions unless they specifically give up this right. Hence, it is required that edit histories be preserved for all major contributions until the normal copyright expires. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

How to move a page

The move option appears below the toolbar.

A common example: performing a requested move. Note that the intended article name is entered without any prefixes.

To move a page:

1. Navigate to the page that you want to move. There is no need to click "Edit".
2. Locate the "Move" option in a drop-down menu at the top right of the screen, labelled "Tools".
   • If you are using the legacy Vector skin, the option is under the toolbar. If you have enabled the MoreMenu gadget, it may be under the "Page" menu. If you aren't using the default Vector 2022 skin in your preferences, the layout of the screen will be slightly different.
   • If there is no "move" link at the top of the page at all, the page is most likely protected from moving. If you expect it to be uncontroversial, ask for the page to be moved at the technical section of requested moves. Otherwise, request it in its section for controversial and potentially controversial moves.
3. Click the "Move" option, and fill in the details of your move.
   1. In the first text box, enter the new name of the page (and its namespace).
   2. Give a reason for the move, which is like an edit summary. Although this isn't required, it will decrease the likelihood of the move being challenged.
   3. Keep the option to also move the page's talk page enabled, except in certain circumstances. (It only appears if the page has a talk page.)
4. Click the Move page button.

You did it! If the move is successful, the page will be moved to the new title and you will see a message saying "The page has been moved to ...". The old title will become a redirect, so links to the old title will still go to the new page. Successful moves are recorded in the move log at the old title only, not the new one; if there had been a discussion about the move, it can be useful to copy the automatic move summary in a new comment in the discussion.

Moving over a redirect

If a page already exists at the target name, you can move to that target only if it simply redirects back to the present name and its page history has only one entry (i.e., the creation of the redirect). The most common case in which this applies is that of re-renaming a page back to its original name.

If a redirect has more than just one line in its page history but still a minor edit history, file a technical move request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests.

Cleaning up after a move

After successfully moving a page, you should perform a number of resulting clean-up tasks, such as updating the article prose to use the new name and updating any navigational templates to link directly to the new title rather than via a redirect.

Whether any one of the below clean-up tasks is required will depend on the circumstances of the move. Some of the most involved clean-up tasks are limited to moves that introduce a change in "topic structure", for example when an article is moved to a title which previously referred to a disambiguation page.

• Update the article's prose: In most cases, the running text of an article will refer to the article subject by the title term, and will begin with a bolded instance of the title. Using Wikipedia's "find and replace" function may be helpful here, though it should not be applied blindly. For example, if the old name occurs in a direct quote, a name, or the title of a reference, it should not be replaced. For example, if the article Chocolate bar were moved to the title Candy bar, the opening paragraph:
  A chocolate bar (Commonwealth English) or candy bar (some dialects of American English) is a confection containing chocolate, which may also contain layerings or mixtures. A wide variety of chocolate bar brands are sold.
  should be updated to place the new title first, and replace generic instances of "chocolate bar" with "candy bar":
  A candy bar (some dialects of American English) or chocolate bar (Commonwealth English) is a confection containing chocolate, which may also contain layerings or mixtures. A wide variety of candy bar brands are sold.
• Update sidebars and navbars: Pages that have a sidebar or navbar template will need their page title in the template edited from the old name to the new name. Until this is altered, the old page title, which usually becomes a redirect to the new title, will appear as a blue wikilink instead of as the unlinked page name in boldface type (see WP:NAVNOREDIRECT).
• Update DEFAULTSORT and DISPLAYTITLE keys: DISPLAYTITLE keys at the top of the page should be removed or updated to reflect the new title, otherwise they'll throw an error. In certain cases, default sort keys may also need to be updated. For example, if moving Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam, then {{DEFAULTSORT:Stevens, Cat}} should be replaced with {{DEFAULTSORT:Islam, Yusuf}}. Conversely, if moving Lady Gaga to Stefani Germanotta, then {{DEFAULTSORT:Germanotta, Stefani}} should be added.
• Fix talk page archives: All talk page archives should be moved to correspond with the new name, including any that have been manually created. If the talk page is archived automatically by a bot, the {{User:MiszaBot/config}} or {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis}} templates contain hardcoded page names that need to be updated as well (example). In some circumstances, this involves moving a hard-coded bot subpage.
• Move related pages for consistency: Subsidiaries to the moved page should have consistent titles. For example, if moving Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam, then articles on subtopics (e.g., Cat Stevens discography, Trouble (Cat Stevens song)) and related categories (e.g., Category:Cat Stevens, Category:Cat Stevens songs) should be moved as well. The latter can be requested as a speedy move at WP:CFD using the criterion WP:C2D.
• Editnotices: If a page with an editnotice is moved, the editnotices should move with it. Currently, this requires the technical assistance of an administrator, template editor or page mover. A few pages may be accompanied by editnotices in the Template namespace that warn editors about specific issues for the page. For example, the editnotice for 0.999... is at {{Editnotices/Page/0.999...}}. Sometimes, a page may be accompanied by a group editnotice (example), or more rarely, a protection editnotice (example).

Cleaning up after a change in topic structure

A change in topic structure occurs when a page previously referred to a topic and after the move refers to a different topic. This most commonly occurs when an article is promoted to be the primary topic for a name or vice versa, such as moving Mercury (planet) to Mercury. In rare cases, one topic may have its name usurped by a different topic. For example, in 2018 an article about a retail company was moved from Shinola to Shinola (retail company) and the previous article became about a completely unrelated brand of shoe polish.

• Fix mistargeted wikilinks: When an article, such as Venus, is moved to a disambiguated title, such as Venus (planet), the previous title will usually become a disambiguation page and other articles which used to link to the article about the planet will instead link to a disambiguation page. These links should be replaced with [[Venus (planet)|Venus]], so that they keep pointing to the correct destination. If there are many wikilinks to fix, consider using semi-automated tools such as DisamAssist or AutoWikiBrowser. (Disambiguation pages with more than 30 incoming links are automatically tagged with {{Incoming links}}, which attracts interested editors.) Fair use rationales in the File namespace should also be fixed so that the image is not marked for deletion as orphaned.
• Update disambiguation pages: A topic should be linked at the top of a disambiguation page if and only if it is the primary topic. If your moves have the effect of demoting a page from or promoting it to a primary topic, the corresponding disambiguation page should be updated accordingly.
• Update hatnotes: Add or remove hatnotes to allow users to navigate between topics that share a name. For example, if moving Mercury (planet) to Mercury, a {{Other uses}} hatnote should be added so that readers could navigate from that page to Mercury (disambiguation). On the other hand, if the opposite happens, it may render existing hatnotes on the page redundant.

Other move procedures

How to move a category

See also: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Categories, and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion § Speedy renaming and merging

You arer account is able to perform a round-robin swap. Most users are not able to perform this process. Please visit WP:RM/TR for help swapping pages.

Most users lack permission to move pages in the category namespace, as only administrators, page movers, and bots can move Category pages. For these users, the Move button is not displayed.

Users follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion § Speedy renaming and merging and let a bot handle it, especially for complex cases. Moving a category manually is possible, but it requires significant post-move cleanup and can be time-consuming. A category move is not complete until the old category contains only the soft redirect and no pages.

To move a category manually:

1. Move the category page. (Description wiki markup)
2. Change all of its subcategories. (Change the category of each subcategory to the new category.)
3. Change the category on every page where it is explicitly specified. (This could be hundreds or thousands of pages.)
4. Change the template code for every template that assigns pages to the old category. (It may be necessary to purge or perform a null edit on every page that transcludes the templates.)

When pages are listed in a category that is not shown in the wiki markup, this most likely means that a template placed on those pages is adding the category. When the category is moved, the template must also be changed. After the template is updated with the new category, the pages with the template are automatically placed into the job queue and will eventually be updated with the new category. If there is a very large number of pages transcluding the template(s), the process of updating all pages through the job queue may take days, weeks, or even months to complete. Protected pages or templates may require elevated privileges to accomplish the change. In such cases, the normal protected edit request process should be followed. Depending on the number of templates and articles that require elevated privileges to edit them, it may be more appropriate to involve an administrator from the beginning of the process (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion).

How to move a file

Administrators or file movers can move pages in the file namespace. When such a page is moved the associated file is moved as well. The move leaves a redirect that functions like the file itself. For instance, the image can be displayed by linking to a redirect to it. In non-controversial cases you can request a file to be moved by adding the template {{rename media}} to the description page of the file. Files should generally only be moved for one of nine reasons. You can also use a script to add the rename request. Twinkle or LuckyRename (specialized for this job) can do this. For more information about appropriate names for pages in the file namespace, see Wikipedia:File names.

To move a file:

1. Ensure the file meets one of the nine reasons
2. Place {{rename media|new name|reason}} on the page of the file. A file mover or administrator will move it if it conforms to the guidelines.

Files uploaded to Wikimedia Commons cannot be moved by Wikipedia administrators or filemovers. c:Commons:File naming describes how Commons files should be named. In general, Commons aims to provide stable file names as there might be external file clients and file moving involves significant human and computing resources. Thus renaming should be used with caution. To request the renaming of a file at Commons, follow the instructions at Commons:File renaming.

How to move subpages

When moving a page, the talk page is automatically moved as well. A talk page may include subpages, such as archives, to-do pages, good article nominations, and the like. To ensure that these subpages are moved, check "Move all subpages, if applicable" during the move process. Talk subpages can be moved along with the move target. A list of talk page subpages is visible in the "Special:MovePage" form.

If subpages were not moved, they will show as redlinks on the new talk page. To locate lost subpages, use Special:Prefixindex; enter the name of the old article page followed by a "/" and set the namespace to Talk. Move individual subpages as needed.

On some occasions, one might inadvertently move a talk page incorrectly assumed by the MediaWiki software to be a talk subpage of a different article. For example, Talk:A/B testing is the talk page for A/B testing, but not technically a subpage for Talk:A. If a mover uses move-subpages on Talk:A, the move operation would incorrectly move Talk:A/B testing. (This is not an issue for the article mainspace, as it does not have subpages enabled.)

Administrators and page movers are also given an option to move up to 100 subpages. They can also use the Mass move tool by adding the following line to their common.js page, which will add a "Mass move" link to their tools menu on the left of the page:

mw.loader.load( '//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ahecht/Scripts/massmove.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); //[[User:Ahecht/Scripts/massmove.js]]

How to move a portal

A portal consists of a main portal page plus tens, sometimes hundreds, of interconnected subpages. To rename a portal efficiently, post at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests to ask for an administrator to move the page and its subpages, and once that is done, post at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks to ask for an AWB user to scan all the portal pages to fix the outdated links. You may also need to visit Categories for Discussion to have a category renamed, if the portal's pages have been placed in a category; and Template talk:Portal, if the {{Portal}} template does not recognise the new name.

How to move a redirect

A page that is a redirect can be moved like any other page, although it is rarely useful because it has the same detrimental effect on page history as copy-pasting content to a new page, and making the old page a redirect: when moving a redirect page to a new page name, the redirect on the old page (now directing to the new redirect page) will have to be altered to avoid double redirects. So the content of the old page will no longer redirect to the page containing the history of that old page. The effect is that the whereabouts of the page history of the old page (now seemingly a "recently created page") are a bit trickier to find, while on the other hand the new page has a history attached to it not clarifying why it would need to be a redirect page. However, if a redirect page has to be evacuated (for example, to reuse its title), but contains a valuable edit history, then it should be moved (unless merging of history is suitable).

If a redirect page does not redirect to the page it would need to be redirecting to, then the only viable strategy that respects page histories is to adapt the redirect on that page, without moving the page.

Other procedures

Usurping a page title

Usurping a page title is the process of moving an existing page to a new title followed by creating a new page (such as a new article or a disambiguation page) on the old title, or redirecting the old title to a different destination. Once the move of the original page is completed, the old title instantly becomes a redirect, and the redirect can then be edited to become a separate, possibly unrelated article, disambiguation page, or some other type of page.

If in doubt, discussing such a move following the instructions on the requested moves page is recommended. If you wish to create the new page initially before a decision is made from a discussion, you can create it using a different, unused title for the new page you wish to create, and then usurp the title once this is agreed.

It is permitted to usurp a page title for a new article, and it generally does not require administrative assistance, though good judgment should be used in determining if these are the best positions for both pages. Before boldly usurping a title, it is strongly recommended that you check all incoming links and fix them as necessary. To do this, while on the new page bearing the old title, click on "What links here" below "Tools" in the menu on the left. This will list all the pages linking to the old title. Once you reach this list, check the incoming links on each of these pages and if necessary, modify them to point to the new title of the old page. For more information, see Help:What links here and Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links.

If there are so many pages linking to the old title that you feel you cannot make all the changes yourself, place the template {{Converted}} at the top of the new page you created on the old title. This will let others know that the move was recently made and that all these changes are necessary.

Swapping two pages

Main page: Wikipedia:Page mover § Round-robin page moves

For requesting a swap, see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests.

You arer account is able to perform a round-robin swap. Most users are not able to perform this process. Please visit WP:RM/TR for help swapping pages.

To swap pages A and B while preserving page history:

1. Move page A to the title C (previously non-existing) without creating a redirect
2. Move page B to the title A (allowed because A is evacuated) without creating a redirect
3. Move page C to the title B (allowed because B is evacuated) without creating a redirect unless it is useful as a redirect to B

This sequence is sometimes called a "round-robin move" and does not require deletions as it relies on the redirect-suppressing (red move) feature, available to administrators and page movers. The classical sequence has an advantage that it relies only on conventional operations such as WP:G6. Help with this task can be found at Wikipedia:Page mover § Round-robin page moves.

The same sequences, but with only two moves, can be used for half-swapping (chain shifting) two pages (such that A would become C and B would become A)

Undoing a move

To undo a move from page A to page B, simply move page B back to page A. However, if someone intervened in the A→B redirect, then the move cannot be fixed without special privileges, in which case the guidance about undiscussed moves at the "requested moves" page may be helpful.

Note that the usual "undo" link on history or diff pages does not work on moves. An easy way to rename the page back is clicking "View logs for this page" from the history page, typing in the previous page name that you want to revert to and then "revert" link from the corresponding record in Special:Log.

The software requires that the redirect point to the page you're moving it from. Therefore, if a user moved page A to page B and then to page C, you cannot simply move C to A. If a bot has not "fixed" the double A→B redirect yet (see above), then you have to:

1. Move page C to page B
2. Move page B to page A

If page A has subsequently been edited, or the move software is behaving weirdly, only an admin can sort things out:

1. Delete page A (make sure it has no useful history – you may wish to add an explicit author credit on a talk page to compensate)
2. Move page B to page A
3. Delete page B (should be a history-free redirect to page A)

"Move wars" are highly unproductive, and leave vast numbers of pointless redirects littering the place, which some poor soul will have to fix.

After undoing a move, if you do not need B as a redirect, tag it for deletion (using the appropriate process on the wiki you're using, for instance 'speedy deletion' or list it at 'redirects for discussion'), or (administrators only) just delete it.

Move restrictions

To be able to move pages yourself, you must be logged in and you must have an autoconfirmed account (i.e., generally you must have had the account for four days and made at least ten article edits with it). With a few exceptions, autoconfirmed users have the technical ability to move any page.

Administrators can protect pages from moves, so that only administrators can move them. If a page is protected from moves only, the "Move" feature will be hidden. Pages that are protected from editing are implicitly protected from moves. If the old page was protected, its protection settings will generally be automatically copied to the new page, and thus be recorded in the protection log (against the new page name). If pending changes were enabled, the pending changes settings would also be moved and logged in the pending changes log against the new page title (since December 2016).

Page histories

Moving a page preserves its entire edit history before and after the move in one place, as if the page had always been named that way. The move itself is recorded in the edit histories of both pages with an edit summary of the form: "user name moved page old name to new name".

You should never perform a page move by simply cutting all the text out of an existing page and then pasting it into a new one; doing so will cause old revisions, notes, logs, attributions, and linked pages (such as the associated talk page) to become fragmented and split between more than one location and hence much harder to keep track of. If a "cut-and-paste" move occurs or is discovered, administrators can usually fix this fragmentation by performing a history merge. If you find a "cut-and-paste" move that needs to be merged and fixed, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge to create a report, and an administrator will take care of it.

Technical details

Some technical restrictions prevent page names from beginning with a lowercase letter, containing certain characters, and using formatting such as italics. There are templates to fix or signal these restrictions:

After moving a page, the MediaWiki software marks the old one as a new page, as the entry in the page table connects a new page name to the page ID. The revision table just gets entries about the move, nothing else, because the relation between page ID and revision IDs remains the same. This model avoids "changing the history", a kind of "historical revisionism".

More moves back and forth are possible, and the page history of the current title always shows all moves, and that of the other title only contains the edit line of the latest move. The move log was introduced in MediaWiki 1.5 in 2005, so pages moved before MediaWiki 1.5 do not have an entry in their move logs. The oldest moves recorded in the move log date to June 28, 2005.

Before the release of MediaWiki 1.28/wmf.16 in August 2016, information about a redirect overwritten by a moved page was lost. Starting with that version, deletion of the redirect has been added to the deletion log; this is the only way that non-administrators (i.e., page movers) can insert entries in the deletion log. If the deletion was the result of an earlier move of the page that is now moved back, that information is still available in the history of that page.

There was a bug in earlier versions of MediaWiki that caused inaccurate dates in edit histories. In these versions of the software, if a page was moved over a redirect, the edit history of the newly created redirect would show the latest move with the correct user name, but with the date and time when the overwritten redirect was created. The date and time of the actual page move were therefore lost (though it appeared in the recent changes list). See a demonstration of this bug.

Religion was similarly influenced by new scientific, philosophical and political developments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and this led to the development of Catholic modernism.

Writing in the Catholic Encyclopedia in 1911, the Jesuit Arthur Vermeersch gave a definition of modernism in the perspective of the Catholic heresiology of his time:

"In general we may say that modernism aims at that radical transformation of human thought in relation to God, man, the world, and life, here and hereafter, which was prepared by Humanism and eighteenth-century philosophy, and solemnly promulgated at the French Revolution."

The queer old-fashioned bathing-machines, one of them still actually carrying the Lion and Unicorn upon its pointed roof, glittered in the sunshine with an air of welcoming encouragement. The noble sweep of the houses behind the crescent-shaped esplanade, with the names of their terraces—Brunswick, Regent, Gloucester, Adelaide—so suggestive of the same historic epoch, gleamed with reciprocal hospitality; nor did the tall spire of St. John’s Church, a landmark for miles round, detract from the harmony of the picture.

On Luke’s left, as he turned once more and faced the sea, the vibrating summer air, free at present from any trace of mist, permitted a wide and lovely[576] view of the distant cliffs enclosing the bay. The great White Horse, traced upon the chalk hills, seemed within an hour’s walk of where he stood, and the majestic promontory of the White Nore drew the eye onward to where, at the end of the visible coast-line, St. Alban’s Head sank into the sea.

On Luke’s right the immediate horizon was blocked by the grassy eminence known to dwellers in Weymouth as “the Nothe”; but beyond this, and beyond the break-water which formed an extension of it, the huge bulk of Portland—Mr. Hardy’s Isle of the Slingers—rose massive and shadowy against the west.

As he gazed with familiar pleasure at this unequalled view, Luke could not help thinking to himself how strangely the pervading charm of scenes of this kind is enhanced by personal and literary association. He recalled the opening chapters of “The Well-Beloved,” that curiously characteristic fantasy-sketch of the great Wessex novelist; and he also recalled those amazing descriptions in Victor Hugo’s “L’Homme qui Rit,” which deal with these same localities.

• Modernism in the Catholic Church,

Modernism in the Catholic Church attempts to reconcile Catholicism with modern culture, specifically an understanding of the Bible and Catholic tradition in light of the historical-critical method and new philosophical and political developments of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The term modernism—generally used by critics of rather than adherents to positions associated with it—came to prominence in Pope Pius X's 1907 encyclical Pascendi Dominici gregis. The Pope condemned modernism as "the synthesis of all heresies".
