[edit] Reorganising this article

I would like to split Meccano (the construction kit) and Meccano Ltd (the company) into two separate sections in the article. Meccano Ltd redirects to this page and it could be a little confusing. Any thoughts? --Bruce1ee 07:33, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough the Meccano company was resposible for more than just the construction kit - but I would keep company history in the article where it does impact the kit. GraemeLeggett 10:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I've split the article, but it still needs some work. I also want to expand on the history of Meccano Ltd and add a section on the Meccano Magazine. --Bruce1ee 05:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting this article

This article has become quite long now and I propose that it be split into 3 separate articles:

• Meccano – the construction kit
• Meccano Ltd – the companay (currently a redirect to Meccano)
• Meccano Magazine – the magazine (currently a redirect to Meccano)

If there are no objections, I'd be happy to undertake the split myself. --Bruce1ee 14:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Done. --Bruce1ee 14:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Empty space?

I see there is a large expanse of empty white underneath the old Meccano sign at the top of the page. Perhaps another picture could squeeze in under there? Perhaps a layout of some main pieces and connectors recieven in an average kit for examples? Lady BlahDeBlah 14:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Another picture can be added below the logo, but it might make the top of the page a little cluttered. A better option might be to move the logo down a little to the right of the TOC, thus filling that white space. --Bruce1ee 15:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

OK (10 months later!) I've moved the old Meccano logo down to the right of the TOC. How does that look? --Bruce1ee 14:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
