[edit] London Bridge

Hi there, I reverted your edits on this article, where you were flipping the order of the imperial and metric measurements. There's no problem listing imperial measurements first in a UK (or US) article and generally you should just leave them the way they are, unless there's another reaosn to change. Thanks/wangi 13:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Ditto High Level Bridge; I endorse Wangi: don't change them unless you have good reason, which in this case we think you have not. Thanks. --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Page blanking

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Josh Partington. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --HarryCane 11:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Two members of the band have brief biographies, so I think it is more consistant to link to the other members as well, even though they're descriptions are empty. It isn't wrong to link to non-existing information, it only encourages other writers to give some information. A redirect 'misleads' users, in my opinion. -- Dryke 12:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
