[edit] Help request

I can't get the redirect on Electromagnetic hypersensitivity to work. If I edit it is comes up OK, but when I exit and try checking it, the auto redirect fails.

It seems to be working, Electromagnetic hypersensitivity redirects to Electrical sensitivity. When you make a redirect the show preview gives an erraneous result, maybe the was the problem.--Commander Keane 12:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the supportive words; nice to know I am on the right track.Abtract 08:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


How to I correct wrong capitalisation on a new page title - I can't find a way to edit it. It is Books on british railway accidents, should be British of course. Also the link from my user page isn't working, hopefully that will be solved when the case is corrected. Hyperman 42 17:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, simply use the "move" tab at the top of any article to rename/move a page. Cheers, Tangotango 17:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wikify, context

You queried the context of the article I'd started on the Hither Green rail crash. I'm puzzled because it's a pretty standard format for other articles on rail crashes by a variety of wikipedians. Can you be more specific? I've also noted this on the talk page. Thanks. (Hyperman 42 in email)

Why use email? Also on user_talk pages, always create a wikilink to the article you are talking about.

I was not objecting to the format it was the lack of context - your version gave only the vaguest indication of where the crash happened. There were four vital wikilinks missing: Hastings, London, Hither Green and Grove Park . These have now all been provided for you but it would have been better if you had created them yourself.

I don't like to rub this in but I note with horror that you removed my {{wikify}} tag (I should have given it a {{context}} tag as well) from Castlecary (East Dunbartonshire) rail accident even though none of the vital location information had been added.

OK, others will come along and add the links eventually, but think wiki, get your fingers trained to fly to the [[]] keys as you write the article - like I am doing here. I also like to see a link to a map sources page, eg. as at the end of Ais Gill rail crash but I won't moan if you leave that out.

(I am a crash gongoozler - in my room I have a BR telephone recovered from the site of the Clapham Junction rail crash!) -- RHaworth 06:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Railway accidents - books

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

[edit] Electrosensitivity edits

Just a note to apologise for any offence re my edits on electrosensitivity. They were all made in good faith! I've replied to you on the discussion page. Look forward to working with you on it. Catpig 13:55, 29 August 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 00:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Callaghan

It was always to the best of my recollection that he went to what is now City Boys. Im quite sure theres a wooden plaque in the hall dedicated to his attendance. However its been a decade since I went to City Boys so I could be mistaken and that he probably opened the hall or something similar! If you ring the City Records office (near the city museum) they will be able to put a local historian on the line to answer any questions etc (or ring CPBS as you mentioned). Anyway sorry if I made an error, I was mistaken and made the change in good faith. Just of note, next time someone makes an error, dont write that you were not impressed with them on their discussion, its not professional. Regards LordHarris 14:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I award you a barnstar in recognition of your scrutiny precision and diligence for the schooling of Prime Minister James Callaghan and Mayfield School. LordHarris 20:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schools articles

Thanks for your message of support on the schools articles. I don't know what the anon editor had in mind, but nominating all those articles for speedy deletion wasn't the right way to go about it. Regards, Mr Stephen 23:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help request

I moved Connington South rail crash to Conington South rail crash but now realise that there is some uncertainty about the name and want to revert the move, not sure how to do this safely though. Can an experienced editor do it for me? A redirect page "Conington South rail crash" would be useful, I have seen this spelling used in at least one publication and also have a link to it. Hyperman 42 01:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I reverted it. You can simply move it back. There is also a "revert" button in your Move Log. —Centrx→talk • 01:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of City of Portsmouth Boys' School

An article that you have been involved in editing, City of Portsmouth Boys' School, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/City of Portsmouth Boys' School. Thank you. Adam 21:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey Hyperman 42, thanks for arguing to keep the City of Portsmouth Boys' School article. Ive made a lot of edits and improvements to the article since it began but if you could help by improving any of it, more people will hopefully argue to keep it. Just out of interest I had a look at the Mayfield school article and it hasnt any references - I think if you want to avoid a deletion attempt , similar to city boys, we need to get some references for it and try and improve the article! LordHarris 03:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No problem at all

Hi, just to let you know I've posed on topazg's page. Feel free to delete this etc. Quote it if you like, but remember context is king 82.10.218.4 17:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
