[edit] Geo-stubs

Hi Tabletop (good user name!),

It's good to se you're helping out with the sorting of articles, changing stubs to geo-stubs - just thought I'd let you know if you don't know already that there are separape geo-stubs for a lot of different countries, usually of the form {{Countryname-geo-stub}}, to make stub finding even easier. You can still use the general "geo-stub", and I wouldn't expect anyone to know the lot unless they were spending all of their time sorting stubs, but it'd help even more if you learnt a couple of the more common mindividual country codes (like Australia-geo-stub, for instance). There's a list of them at the top of Category:Geography stubs. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Grutness|hello? 04:02, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Diabetes

Diabetes is not rare at all, which is why I warmly support your creation of the category. I would have had problems with a special category for polycystic kidney disease. I have added some more articles to the category, including the main diabetes article. JFW | T@lk 09:23, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your userpage does not exist, so...

Hi Tabletop, I've noticed that you currently don't have a userpage. Not a problem in itself, but it makes your name appear as a redlink when signing talk pages, or when seen in Special:Recentchanges. Some users feel that lack of a userpage is an indication that a user may be a troll, sockpuppet, or simply a newbie. One simple solution, if you don't want to create a userpage, is to edit your userpage and insert the following:

#REDIRECT [[User talk:Tabletop]]

This will make your userpage a redirect to your talk page. If you ever want to create a user page, follow this link:

[edit] Toilet roll holder

Your point about public toilets is well made. I notice that you flagged this as a minor edit. This can upset some editors because it is usually confined to simple typo corrections, wiki linking and similar changes that do not affect the material content of aan article. Keep up the good work. --Theo (Talk) 14:38, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyright

I noticed you uploaded Image:XB9002 Crossbuck Black Trk on Yellow Small.jpg.I wondered if you could elaborate on the source and copyright status of the of the image. You can contact me on my talk page. Cheers. Burgundavia 07:11, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

  • Couple of notes about the image: This should really be a PNG format, that is better for non-photographic images. I would remove the flower. What is the P for? Captions should go in the text for they can be translated. The image isn't cropped right. However, on the topic of copyrights, if you made it, mentioned that, and see Wikipedia:Copyrights for choosing a good copyright for your image. Generally GFDL or any Creative Commons that allows commericial is good. Burgundavia 09:06, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
    • I see 5 images on that page, 3 pictures followed by 2 handdrawn images. Do you use windows/IE. Have you tried another browser. I use firefox on linux myself. Also, a good free/open source drawing application is Inkscape. You might want to check it out for future image creation. Cheers. Burgundavia 11:09, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
      • Wondering if we could clear up the image copyright issue, once and for all. If you still are confused or lost, don't hesitate to give me a shout on my talk page. Cheers. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 02:30, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gunning, New South Wales

Thank you for caring about Gunning. You might also notice some other material I'm slowly but surely getting up on Towns in New South Wales, e.g. Dalton, New South Wales. You will notice, though, that they're probably near Canberra. The idea is to give country Australia a real, and realistic, face. Please feel free to follow suit. Interestingly for me, Dalton is one of the family names back in my past albeit this place has no family significance for me. talk - Peter Ellis 06:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Polgahawela level crossing collision

Hi Tabletop.

While newsworthy events are often excellent subject matter for Wikipedia articles, it's usually best to start from scratch to create an article. There are often copyright concerns if an article (even the first draft) is substantially similar to an outside source. If you'd like to take a stab at a replacement article for Polgahawela level crossing collision, then feel free to start drafting a new report on the article's temp page. Cheers, --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 01:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Electorates

Wikification of more than 200 electorate articles, with more than 1,000 party links: you don't want to do this, particularly since you are incorrectly wikifying them. Adam 11:45, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for your great work on CityRail

hi tabletop, thanks for all your great work on the Sydney railway stations and CityRail, things are really progressing!

just some minor nits: please don't include a lot of blank lines in your articles. there should only be blank lines between paragraphs and paragraphs should consist of at least 2-3 sentences, see: don't use line breaks and one-sentence paragraphs, also don't make a new section unless there are already several paragraphs, see: use subheadings sparingly. lastly, careful with your capitalisation, only proper names should be capitalised, see: wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters. thanks. clarkk 10:25, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tap (valve)

  • I'm a bit concerned that you think Australians label their hot taps blue and their cold taps red. I'm sure this isn't the case! I'm really curious: why do you think this is the case? Ppe42 08:24, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Cheers dude! Ppe42 10:40, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Crossbuck

Nice paint image, but I have a pic of an actuall crossbuck. Do you want that one too? Thanx 68.39.174.150 03:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I can't upload it, so it's here for now. If you want it you can upload it. BTW, I think I got the text/images to follow each other on crossbuck safety in a satesfactory way. Check and see. Thanx again 68.39.174.150 05:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:XB9002 Crossbuck Black Trk on Yellow Small.jpg

[edit] Template:AU-depot-stub

Hi Tabletop - by the timing and naming of the stub template you created, it looks like you must have been following the discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria, where there was debate last month about creating a separate railway station stub for Australia. Unfortunately, you may not have noticed some of the project's other pages, which included naming guidelines for stub templates. It's because of those guidelines that {{AU-depot-stub}} now redirects to {{Australia-depot-stub}}, and it would be appreciated if you could use the new name, because it's possible that the old name will be proposed for deletion sometime. I've added information about the stub at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria#Newly-discovered stub templates, if you want to make any comments about it. Grutness...wha? 13:11, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:30, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:Tabletop/Rail maps by country

Hello! :)

I have moved a page I don't think is useful for the public! Instead of having it deleted you can now edit it at your user space! :)

[edit] Images and copyrights

Hi! I know that others have approached you on this subject as well, but I just wanted to check in: You've uploaded a lot of images. It's important that we ensure we have the proper licenses for all the images on Wikipedia. If you created the pictures, can you please go through them and put {{GFDL}} on them, indicating that you release them under the GFDL? If you didn't, can you please explain their source and anything you may know about their copyright status? If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 6 July 2005 03:38 (UTC)

Thank you very much for tagging many of your images with GFDL notices. It makes our copyright life that much easier. I've compiled a list of pictures you've uploaded at User:Kmccoy/TabletopPics. About half your images still need copyright tags. I assume most of them are self-created and will get GFDL tags. I'm listing some of your older images on images for deletion, I'll give you a separate notification when that happens. The biggest copyright question I have is about Image:Ghana88001336a.jpg; what is its source and copyright status? Thanks again. kmccoy (talk) 08:13, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rehoboth/Rehobeth

I note that you have listed a city named Rehobeth in Namibia. Having been to Namibia, I have never heard of a place there called Rehobeth and I don't recall Rehoboth spelt that way. Where did you get this Rehobeth from? Cheers --Roisterer 8 July 2005 01:44 (UTC)

[edit] Jubail Rail

I have read a magazine article on the proposal, but it was published about three years ago, and as far as I know, no progress has been made yet. There is a plan for a railhead in Jubail Town, but not Jubail Industrial City. Interesting concept, isn't it? An "industrial town" with no railway.

I was also surprised to see that the proposal, as it was laid out in the magazine, did not include a revival of the old Hejaz Railway. Kelisi 10:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quintinshill

I have seen that you are one of the main contributors to the Quintinshill disaster entry. I made a small plan of Quintinshill to illustrate my own description in German that may be useful for you. If you need a plan with wording in English you may contact me. [here is the plan]

[edit] Quick Checks

Wow that was the quickest amendment to an edit i've ever seen! Good stuff. What do you think of the Midland Midland Railway mess? Any idea of how to clean it up? Hope you get my gist, if not I'll try to explain if you want me to...vcxlor 12:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


Sorry, I should have pointed out that the exact same name has been registered by the guys who run the spirit of the west (there's another one... with things same name) so that the midland railway company of wa was the older legal entity, and is now the name of the new entity as well) maybe I'll try doing something with it.vcxlor 01:48, 1 October 2005 (UTC)


We need more tinkering, I am almost certain it was never known legally or colloquaially as the midland railway of western australia! Yup just checked spirit of the west website - it is simply the midland railway company - so more changes againvcxlor 07:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quasiturbine

Thanks for your contributions to the orbital engine article. You might like to look at Quasiturbine and Talk:Quasiturbine#As of late October 2005, where the Sarich also gets a mention. Andrewa 15:19, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

However, the Quasiturbine has no similarity with the Orbital Sarich engine. / Gilles
I can see why you would want people to believe that; After all, the Sarich engine appears to be a failure. But it seems something of an overstatement to me, or in other words, untrue. There are obvious differences certainly, but also some very obvious similarities. Andrewa 05:43, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Swingnose crossing

After reading your article Swingnose crossing, it still is not clear to me what a swingnose crossing is. Could you please explain a little more in the article? A picture would be great if you can get one. Regards, ♠DanMS 02:23, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Horseshoe Curve, Arnold

At both Horseshoe Curve and Hairpin turn you mention a railroad curve like this in a place called Arnold. Where is this? Arnold is a disambiguation page, which doesn't help much. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 05:43, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dual gauge for Africa listed for deletion

An article that you have been involved in editing, Dual gauge for Africa, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dual gauge for Africa. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the article to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Since it looks like you're the major contributor, if you can provide sourcing for the article's proposal it would help a lot! I'd hate to see it get lost (seems a clever idea!) so you may want to back it up elsewhere. Remember WP:NOR which is what is being used for this article. Hope that helps! (I watch talk pages so if you reply here I'll see it but better to participate in the discussion at the AfD page) An interested rail fan. ++Lar: t/c 22:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The article has been userfied to User:Tabletop/Dual gauge for Africa. Johnleemk | Talk 07:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Some advice: Since it's WP:OR by your own admission you ought to try to find a home for the content elsewhere, there are lots of free or cheap web hosting providers, and move it off WP as soon as practical... (you can view source on the page to see the raw HTML if you want to get it to live somewhere that isn't a wiki... however there may be specialised rail wikis where it would be a perfect fit! Further, while it's here on your user pages you may want to comment out the categories it's included in, as user pages usually shouldn't be linked in from articlespace category lists. Hope that helps and good luck. ++Lar: t/c 07:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] iterative design

Someone mentioned Revelec in the iterative design article. But there's currently no Revelec article. I was hoping you could help me fix that link. Should I simply change it to a link to pistonless rotary engine? Or is there really some "Revelec" that needs to have an article written about it? --DavidCary 23:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC) Whoops! Try Revetec?? Tabletop 10:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Blue Ridge Tunnel

I've been working on the list of rail trails you started. I noticed you put the Blue Ridge Tunnel on the list - in fact it was the first entry. Since it's not yet a rail trail but only a future one, I was thinking we should either remove it or place it in a separate group. But since you're the father of the list per se, I don't want to just delete it. If you concur you can remove it, otherwise I'll just leave it there. --Cranor 17:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

We just might add the word "proposed".

since you know more about the layout why dont you do a better version. ok? the southerner 15:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC) ps: im not being mean or sarcastic im just saying ok.

My graphics are not as good as Unisouth's regarding the Havant railway station diagram, which is why I am suggesting that Unisouth modify his version rather than me start again from stratch, which will take a while.

Talking of that place I havant been able to find any evidence on the web of there ever having been a Denvilles railway station. See this for example. What evidence have you? -- RHaworth 03:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somerset and Dorset

Nice to see someone taking an interest in the S&DJR. But there is already a page for Green Park railway station. The station was called Bath (Queen Square) in LMS days and Bath (Green Park) in BR times. There is no Green Square in Bath. The Combe Down (sic) tunnel runaway accident was the second accident in S&D times and much the less serious of the two: the 1875 disaster outside Radstock claimed several lives, though it similarly had elements of farce about it.

[edit] Single track road

Could your addition about early tramroads could be incorporated into a more suitable (i.e. rail-related) article? Passing loop maybe? I don't think it fits in with the rest of the article, which is otherwise exclusively about roads in the Highlands, but there doesn't seem to be enough to warrant an article by itself. I don't know enough about trams or trains to make such a move myself, so it would be good if you could see to it and/or let me know if it's OK to delete what's there. Cheers, Blisco 20:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Further to this, I've moved the information to Single track (which I hadn't discovered when I posted the previous message). I've changed the word 'tramways' to 'wagonways', which has its own article; I hope I've understood the terms correctly and haven't changed the meaning? Blisco 19:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revesby Turnback diagram

Your Revesby turnback diagram is really confusing - can you redo it like the Eastern Suburbs line ones so we can see which direction is what, what track is being put in, what track is being removed, etc. The diagram you have drawn looks like there is a track in the middle with no connections to either end - thanks. (JROBBO 08:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC))

Revesby railway station, Sydney - Sydney is on the left, like Bondi Junction railway station, Sydney. I have just noticed that someone has replaced MY diagram of BJ which is drawn left to right with THEIR diagram which is drawn top to bottom. The new Revesby has a slowish connection from the fast through track at the left end, and NO connection at the right end. See List of rail diagrams for more examples like Revesby and the old East Hills.

[edit] Railway accidents - books

You suggested; What about a Books on railway accidents worldwide topic to complement the topic you start Books on British railway accidents?

Thanks for the idea, it seems a good one. My problem is that I don't know any overseas books on the subject, apart from the Schneider/Mase one I've already referenced and the bits in "Derail". I plead not guilty to xenophobia on this - since British rail accidents are particularly well documented officially and have been fortunate in their historians ever since Rolt, there are a lot of good books available. However if you know of any, or think it's worth starting a category that hopefully others will add to, it seems good to me. There must surely be some from North America, and no doubt from other parts of the world too if you know where to look. Hyperman 42 22:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Rather than completely deleting the Superelevation item, can it be changes into a Redirect to Cant (rail)?

Go for it. --Calton | Talk 02:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harpenden East

Wasn't this station called Batford and not Harpenden East? Or was Batford one of the station's names? Simply south 11:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swingnose

Is this an image of one[1]? Myrtone

You really need two pictures, one in either position, to be sure that it is a swingnose crossing. The pic above is in an unsafe middle position.

[edit] Sandgate Flyover Diagrams

Your diagrams for the Sandgate Flyover are wrong - the reference to the ARTC article you have on your page clearly shows that there will be two tracks linking to the Coal roads from Newcastle, not one - you have joined the up and down coal track at the junction. You should have a look at it and fix it. (JROBBO 08:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC))

Sandgate Flyover diagrams are now better. Tabletop 23:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] S&DJR stations

Hello. The list of Somerset & Dorset stations is neither comprehensive nor in any particular order. Some of the links are to specific railway station pages, others to the town or village named. You obviously deal with quite a lot of railway material: is there an overall policy for this kind of listing? In alphabetical or geographical order, for instance? And linked to the stations or the places? There is a "Railway stations in Somerset" category that has some S&D stations in it, but by no means all. What do you think we should do to make this more orderly and encyclopedic? Johnlp 12:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Prefer to have stations in line order, although the branches make this tricky. Tabletop 10:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Done that. Also added note about the halts, which weren't mentioned before. Johnlp 20:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk: Airlines of Canada

Just a quick note, but never alter the contents of another uses talk posts. A comment that a user leaves on a page should be left intact and never changed by anyone other than that user, unless of course it is an offensive post in which case it may be removed under certain circumstances.

[edit] Borung Highway collision, Donald

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Borung Highway collision, Donald, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Borung Highway collision, Donald. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ... discospinster talk 00:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WCWR

My problem at the moment is I have mislaid my mileage charts - the stopping places list would make more sense with distances against them- thanks for the edits - i didnt realise i was so sloppy! SatuSuro 10:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apple

Hi Tabletop - there is already a List of apple cultivars page, no need to add them on the Apple page! Note also the correct term is cultivar, not variety, which has a different meaning in botany - MPF 09:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iron ore in Cameroon sources

I see that you edited several Cameroon-related articles with information on iron ore deposits and railway expansion. However, you did not provide any sources for this information. Would you mind retracing your steps and adding source citations so that others may verify the information? Thanks, -- BrianSmithson 05:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links to maps

Hi - I guess you're not aware of it, but there's a policy not to link to specific maps showing the location of a place. Instead, if you're interested in adding geographical information to articles, why not participate in Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates? Warofdreams talk 03:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

You see, the way you added the maps didn't contain any clue that they were intended to show rail routes. Where these maps are useful, why not add a note explaining what the map shows that other maps don't? In the articles on individual towns, might it not be better to leave the detail of rail routes out, saving it for the articles on the railways? Warofdreams talk 22:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Try Kamsar and Conakry for size! Tabletop 09:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
That looks excellent - keep up the good work! Warofdreams talk 02:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glendale Station

The station at Glendale is not meant as a replacement for Cardiff, but an additional station. JROBBO 12:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Links to map

Please stop adding these (especially to sites with a lot of adverts) under "minor edits". Adding an external link should go through the main edits list. Thanks --BozMo talk 10:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Port Hedland

Hi I edited out your geolinks there as it was spodging up the already existant coord there - it would be worth checking! SatuSuro 09:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC) And the entry to Parkeston is a bit confusing - is there really a need to have 2 coord entries for one location? Best wishes SatuSuro 09:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you respond to talk messages? SatuSuro 03:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
RE Nullagine - its reassuring that I do make mistakes every now and then! SatuSuro 03:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Noting you very large contribution rate, your minimalist and unsigned talk items - maybe you choose not to - a pity- as there some western australian issues that would have been worth having a chat about. Oh well its obviously the way you choose - best wishes SatuSuro 07:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I have made parkeston in a link namely Parkeston so that it is less work to find it. Tabletop 08:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] List of rail accidents

There is currently a discussion about whether we should set criteria for inlcusion of accients on the List of rail accidents page, and if so what the criteria should be.

The discussion is located at Talk:List of rail accidents/Criteria for inclusion, where your input would be most welcome. Thryduulf 00:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings

I have no intention of taking issue with your massive re-spelling, thats your problem - re spelling variation I am questioning the tasmanian article viz my possible misinterpretation of wp policy. I may well be wrong - but at first glimpse....

Commonwealth usage. Commonwealth countries normally follow British usage. In Canada -or endings are not uncommon, particularly in the Prairie Provinces, though are rarer in Eastern Canada. In Australia, -or terminations enjoyed some use in the 19th century, and now are sporadically found in some regions, though -our is almost universal.

If I have misundertsood your project, my apologies. SatuSuro 02:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out - I think I have a fear that I will find the word railroad sneaking into the west tas arts :) SatuSuro 02:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
