[edit] Disused stations

You can blame me for this idea of linking the disused stations into one article - all those stubs were annoying me! Plymouth Millbay railway station is a rare example of a disused sttaion with its own page, but this is still referenced with a short note on the two local Disused Station pages.

With the Disused stations on the Reading to Taunton line, I would suggest cutting it short at Westbury. Westbury to Castle Cary really falls to the Weymouth line - both in terms of history and modern operations, and there are already rumours of a separate article on the Castle Cary Cut-Off which can have its stations included in it. It also pays not to have too many stations – see the Disused railway stations (Bristol to Exeter Line) for one which is just about on its limit! Geof Sheppard 13:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign language versions of QI

Hi Grizzly, I noticed your remark on the talk page of QI. You like the Dutch version? ;) I thought more of the Dutch public should get to know QI, so I translated the article... And those of Alan Davies, Bill Bailey, Dara Ó Briain and so on, because I didn't like all the red links. Call me crazy ;) So, I just wanted to say hi to a fellow QI fan. Hi!

[edit] Fact from Fifteen Guinea Special

It seems a good start for an article. Do you mind if i nominate a fact from this for WP:DYK? Maybe something like "...that the Fifteen Guinea Special, one of the last British Rail steam services before the steam ban of 1968, was so called because of the high prices from popular demand for it?"

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 20 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fifteen Guinea Special, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I saw this great show on BBCi just now - it was a panel show, and they kept being asked questions, and each question was about something normally unknown! I think you'd like it! :D --Joewithajay (talk) 03:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
