All that stuff is pretty straightforward. Nope nope nope, I&#8217;m talking about something which to me is much more intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly five months ago I wrote a post mentioning the current dilapidated state of a piece of Moscow architecture, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/2006\/11\/09\/do-svidanja-narkomfin\/\">the Narkomfin building<\/a>, designed in the Constructivist style by Moisei Ginzburg.<\/p>\n<p>Then recently, while partaking in my newest hobby of trolling through my web stats (something I&#8217;ve never really done before up until a couple of months ago), I noticed that one of my top referral links was being sent from  <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moisei_Ginzburg\">en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moisei_Ginzburg<\/a>. No shit! <em>Well I mean I wrote that post some time ago about the Narkomfin, but otherwise why would anything be coming <strong>in<\/strong> from Wikipedia<\/em>, I thought.<\/p>\n<p>So I revisit the page and read through the article again. Sure, some things appear updated or amended. That&#8217;s the nature of the wiki. Keep scrolling. &#8216;See also&#8217;, there are familiar names: El Lissitzky, Vladimir Tatlin, Alexander Vesnin, and others. Then I notice:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"image621\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/03\/wikipedia-ginzburg-external.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Moisei Ginzburg external links\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hooooly smokes. That&#8217;s awesome! Total excitement.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote the original post back in November, the Ginzburg Wikipedia entry says it was last modified 16:38, 19 February 2007. So sometime between those months someone modified the entry with a link to my blog.<\/p>\n<p>So nothing special to report really, just a sort of <em>excitement-post<\/em> about another post, now with ties to Wikipedia! And even though its merely an external site reference link, to be listed on the same page as people such as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vladimir_Tatlin\">Tatlin<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alexander_Vesnin\">Vesnin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mayakovsky\">Mayakovsky<\/a>, that really brings a smile to my face.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>well you know you&#8217;re on to something when you&#8217;ve been linked in Wikipedia!
