In response to your question on my talk page, there's no special tag for buildings, since the copyright is on the image of the building, not the building itself. Since it seems likely that anyone can just walk up and take a picture of the building, there's no reason to use a picture with a less-than-free copyright status. --Carnildo 08:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
If you can get permission to use the new image under a free license such as the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, then use the new one. Otherwise, it's probably best to find a Wikipedian in the area who can take a picture of the building. --Carnildo 03:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spellsinger reverts

Rich, your bot added a link to The Weavers in the article that I've written. I've removed the link as the Weavers in Spellsinger are a group of sentient spiders, the one you linked to are a folk group. Hope you don't mind me sorting that out. Douglasnicol 18:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, not me but you! No problem. P.S. Generally add new sections to the bottom of talk pages. Rich Farmbrough 13:44 13 March 2006 (UTC).

[edit] WikiProject South Park

I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:

  • Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
  • Merge/lengthen the many character articles
  • Improve the South Park main page

I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks, Mr. Garrison

[edit] Season 6 and beyond South Park

I'm creating a page for the project right now.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The only main events are: Kenny returns in Red Sleigh Down, Wendy breaks up with Stan, Mr. Slave sticks Paris Hilton up his butt, the boys meet Michael Jackson and Kenny takes off his parka, Mr. Garrison has a sex change. Mr. Slave leaves Mrs. Garrison because of this, Chef is killed. Mr. Garrison 18:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

PS: Try YouTube, it's a free video website. Type in your keywords and videos come up. Here's some good episodes to watch (well in my opinion):

[edit] WikiProject South Park page

We have our own page! Wikipedia:WikiProject South Park. Be sure to list your name in the members section. Mr. Garrison 18:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ayrshire Railways

Hi Douglas thanks for the message. Funny you should mention the Ardeer station as I created a page for it the other day at Ardeer Platform after visiting the site (the platform is still there). I've put a link to it under the stations on the Ayrshire Coast Line page. The unofficial project sounds good, I've been in two minds about the industrial branches, I know the K&TR has quite a few, perhaps a mention of them on the main Kilmarnock and Troon Railway page would be enough? Or perhaps they belong more on the Glasgow South Western Line page? Dreamer84 13:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Douglas, yeah the branch is the one on the steep curve just next to the old Nylon Works bridge. Actually in that Old Stevenston book the the line is visible on the big two-page spread of the Nylon Works: it's the single fenced off track that starts right in the bottom left hand corner and goes under another bridge into Ardeer. That track is still there about as far as that bridge, but the rest is gone, and it's only been gone for less than six years. The platform ends just before the mini-roundabout near the current Nobel House. You can just barely see it on the aerial photos at Live Local, and you can trace the track (which was still there at the time the photos were taken, sometime in 2000) right back to the main line. You might enjoy that website if you're not already familiar with it, some great stuff can be seen. The station in the book is almost certainly the same place, except the wooden platform must have been replaced with concrete at some point.
Finally, about this so called 'Garnock site' the book mentions. The only thing I can think of is it refers to the branch you mentioned earlier on the other side of the River Garnock coming off the Irvine line. The branch can also be seen on the above overhead photos, and there's something that resembles an island platform at the end of it, but it could just as easily be a pile of dirt!

[edit] Cunninghamhead

Hi Douglas, I don't know if you're familar with the Cunninghamhead article but I'd appreciate you having a look at the page and giving your view on the problems I've talked about on it's talk page. Thanks! - Dreamer84 20:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I have posted my thoughts are on Talk:Cunninghamhead, Perceton and Annick Lodge#The point of this article. I think it needs work to edit this one large article into a series of what could become excellent articles. Stewart 21:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ayr to Mauchline

Yep the line is the one that heads out east from Ayr through St. Quivox (where the former Auchincruive railway station) was. --Dreamer84 15:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal

Hello

I was wondering if you were interested in a new proposed WikiProject. It is called Tranport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. The proposal can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Transport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. For the temp page, see User:Simply south/WikiProject Transport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. I was referred to you by Pencefn btw. Simply south 22:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Stll expanding, proposal nearly the same, put it as a new project. Sorry if it still looks like a mess. I have never done a WikiProject before and the proposal went awry. I'm not sure i know much about transport around Scotland either but i can do some things on the project. Simply south 11:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Therefore, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport in Scotland. I willl copy rthe names across momentarily. Simply south 11:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
