[edit] Image source
Thank you for uploading Image:AAB223366.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:59, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MIDAS
Please be clear about what MIDAS actually is. MIDAS controls the motorway variable-message signs (usually MS3 signals like this one). Also, gantry-mounted signs are activated - to show advisory speed limits. Note that MIDAS is not equivalent to Variable Speed Limits (called controlled motorways in official literature). VSL pre-dates the introduction of MIDAS by a few years on the M25 motorway. MIDAS is now integrated into the M25 and M42 controlled motorway schemes - but that does not make them equivalent. For information, MIDAS is now installed on much of the M25, M1, M6, M42, M56, M60, M62 and a few others - but only a small fraction (probably only about 40-50 km out of nearly 900 km where MIDAS is installed) have permanent speed cameras and mandatory speed limits.
If you don't agree with one or two bits of the information in a prior edit, please do not revert the entire article which removes all of the new information added. Richard B 19:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I think i got the system confused with the one in use on the M25.
[edit] Boundary Commission reviews
Congrats to the user who has created new pages for the Boundary Commissions ongoing review of Parliamentary Constituency's, but remember they are only recommended by the Boundary Commission and not created by them.
The BC recommends the new seats to the Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs (currently Lord Falconer), who has to agree them and then they go through the Parliamentary Process before being created.

[edit] Re: Boundary Commission Reviews
=) Thanks for the heads up on the reviews. I think I've touched every seat in the past few months! I know the seats are not created by the Comissions per se, but as I thought that was the best word I could think of in the context. Thanks for the message - I think there must be better phrasing but not sure what it could be doktorb | words 20:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beverley and Holderness (UK Parliament constituency)
I moved this to just Beverley and Holderness because it's not necessary to disambiguate every constituency article in this way, just those which clash with the names of towns, districts or other entities. Most of the articles were originally created with "(UK Parliament constituency)" in their titles for the sake of simplicity, but general consensus is now that the shortest unambiguous form should be used. See Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies for previous discussion on this issue. — sjorford++ 15:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] League Against Cruel Sports
- But the 'League' are still a bunch of animal bumming townies who know very little of the countryside and eccosystems they say they are trying to protect!
- (I tend to agree, nontheless rvt to previous version.)
A sentiment without which Wikipedia would not be possible. Though I entirely disagree, bravo sir :-) — ciphergoth 22:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Countryside Alliance logo.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Regeneration
Thanks for adding details into Hull article, it gives a starting point for others to expand on.
I recently picked up a 2 line stub someone had created on Princes Quay that I categorised & added an external link to. I wondered if you would not mind adding some details on Quay West to it rather than me just copy the bit from Hull article across there.
I will add link on Hull page when there is a bit more info in it to make it useful.
Keith D 10:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure the Princes Quay page is worthwhile - I've added the proposed deletion tag - add your thoughts on the talk page. I think it would all be better in the Kingston upon Hull page!! --TFoxton 16:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I have a more up-to-date selection of reasonable quality photographs taken by myself (Adam Walby) in June 2006 of Kingston upon Hull's city centre. The images can be found at http://www.acwalby.karoo.net/wikipedia.htm and used freely on the Wikipedia web site for the city and anything related.
- Hi, I'll have a look at those - they could be useful as a Wikipedia Gallery on the Hull page or be added on the Wikimedia Commons site --TFoxton 22:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gatso
Nice bit of research. Thank you. TerriersFan 22:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Cheers but I just built on what you wrote!! --TFoxton 23:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] David Cameron image
I'm not sure why you deleted my message? Are you going to contact the party about getting the image licensed under Creative Commons? Arniep 10:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, thanks for explaining the required information, but I wont be contacting the party again. --TFoxton 12:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
