[edit] Hampstead Theatre

I am really glad you started this article. It was long overdue. I toyed witht he idea of starting it myself, but always seemed to get waylaid by some other thing. Thanks! Orbicle 18:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement (and the edits). I'm new to this game, so it's a nervous start. --Elwood90 20:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eugène Christophe

Editors are split on whether accents and diacritic marks should be used on the English language wikipedia. There is at this time no consensus, although more people think accents should be used. This isn't applied to all projects but we often do in cycling articles. There should only be one page and article for each subject, so you should move Eugene Christophe to Eugène Christophe. This then keeps the edit history intact which helps with the GNU licensing. Eugene Christophe automatically becomes a redirect to Eugène Christophe. Names with diacritic marks in them should always have redirects from the plain letters due to the limitations of people's keyboards. My belief is that references to people or events or whatever which have wikipedia articles should use the name the article uses (or did contemporary, if a name has changed) - the discussion on the particular name can go at that page and everything else can follow (take a look on the discussion of how to spell Magnus Bäckstedt). If I move something, I use AutoWikiBrowser, but this one only has a handful of pages so not too much work to do manually! Hope this helps, if I haven't answered you please don't hesitate to ask again! Severo 10:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

To add, I think you've done some great work lately! Severo 12:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] memoire-du-cyclisme

Thanks for the heads-up towards memoire-du-cyclisme.net - it should give me something to get started with, although I'm not sure how much it is a reliable source? The UCI don't seem to want to promote the history of cycling so pre-1998 they are useless. I can't find anything about the World Cup between 1993 and 1997 at the moment apart from mentions on third-party websites :( Regards, Severo^Talk 09:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I also found this other site which cross-references them and also provides a slightly different take from when amateur and pro were split. What I am clear of is if it can all be brought together, then Wikipedia will provide the best reference for track cycling championships on the web B-) Severo^Talk 09:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I looked for hours for that! No archives for the Track World Cup before 1998 though that I can find? Severo^Talk 10:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
