[edit] Slang

Hi, Kitchen Knife. Thanks for your note re: slang terms in the article Refectory. I would remove all of the slang terms from the intro. If the slang terms are that relevent to the article (which I'm not convinced they are), it seems they should be mentioned in the body of the article, rather than the intro. To be honest, I'd never heard the other terms before; so I didn't remove them because I wasn't sure if they were slang or not. MishaPan (talk) 16:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Re editing. I don't understand your problem with the minor alterations I have made to include the affiliation with Liverpool to the suburbs of the city. Please bear in mind that whilst I am new and very much unaware of the rules yet I am a born and bred Liverpudlian and I am not looking rewrite history. I am learning and don't wish to be branded a vandal.Dmcm2008 (talk) 23:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I am born bred and Living in Liverpool. You need to slow down HMGs description comes first. Followed by the description of it's relationship to a city. You might not be trying to push the boundaries but you need to qualify the relation ship is it is anything other than part of the metropolitain borough, and do that after the offical descrpition. Just content your self with spelings and rewordings until you get the style of Wikipedia and remember it supposed to be facts only. I'll leave you to the tender care of Pollytyred wo is far more relaxed than I am. Happy editing.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 00:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Understood. I am still learning. I do not know how to add maps, photos,contents etc if you are observing you may be able to help with that but I imagine you have your own priorities. Dmcm2008 (talk) 10:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mathew Street

Can you tell me in what way the resignation of an organiser of a festival in Mathew Street aids the reader's understanding of the street itself? Otherwise, it just looks like tabloid journalism. Thanks. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 16:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The article is about the street really, and not events that occur in it, and I would argue that the effects of cancelling such events say nothing about the street itself; suppose an American or Australian Beatles fan is planning to visit Liverpool and reads the article. I don't see how that part would aid their understanding; however, I only took the photograph for it, so I can't get too excited over the issue. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 20:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
The split is fine, it will need reliable sources, but that shouldn't be a problem. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 20:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maghull

Will you stop undoing my work, if I am not doing something right please come and tell me. I would appreciate any feedback, granted I am a little hasty to put my points across without checking how it will look. However one of the rules as I understand is if you disagree you discuss and i do not appreciate you manner in tackling my editing. Please discuss. Dmcm2008 (talk) 21:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you will find we have had the Maghull discussion before. I and someoneelse have reverted you edit on this before. --Kitchen Knife (talk) 22:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Liverpool suburbs

Hello,

I'm working with User:Dmcm2008 towards a consensus on the (claimed) suburbs of Liverpool. Dmcm2008 doesn't seem keen on toning this down, but, as you've been involved with this issue before, I would appreciate your input. I've started a thread at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_geography#Suburbs_of_Liverpool. -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your input on this matter, it was (and still is) much appreciated. I'm going to continue working towards a way forwards.
I wondered too, if you take an interest in writing about places in the UK, if you'd come across WP:UKGEO and its guideline WP:UKCITIES? It would be great to have you onboard. --Jza84 |  Talk  15:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Falkner Square

As you among others wish to play silly games every time I edit, no matter what I do, I have opened up a discussion page for Falkner Square. The edit I did that you have un done refers to Canning, there is no such area as Canning. You can see there is a ward but the area for the square is on the edge of town near to Toxteth. Dmcm2008 (talk) 15:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Further to your comments, despite you saying there is a map provided for Canning, (I have seen your references) there is no such district..it is a modern 'phrase' for want of a better word, representing a cluster of streets. Alternatively named the Georgian Quarter. I think the definition for Canning is based on it being a conservation zone, like that around Castle Street at the other end of the city. Also, you can say the same for Granby, in Toxteth. Or Breckfield, (based on Breckfield Road) in the cusp of Anfield and Everton. There are other examples but, Canning is a modern term by whom I dont know but it has found its way in to the Council phrasebook, still does not mean it is an area. It is on the edge of Liverpool city centre near Toxteth (and Edge Hill) a mixture of L1 AND L8 postcodes. I have also found with properties for sale, in magazines and papers, there are a lot of modern/trendy names for clusters of districts...as well as Canning, although I havnt got any to hand at present. What is your conclusion ? Why must you contest my edits? I AM NOT an expert on WP so if you seek to bring in three revert rules and other such rulings I will let you win, if that is your game. All I am doing is pointing out that the article does not appear right to me because it suggests it is in the 'Canning district' but that is not like eg Toxteth, Kensington, etc it is not a district, perhaps it is a local nickname and I am aware Canning is used it is on the WP. Dmcm2008 (talk) 18:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/The_City/City_centre/index.asp--Kitchen Knife (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC) That reference doesnt change anything, it furthers my theory of 'trendy' names. In that reference Marybone is mentioned, this is developed because the area (in Vauxhall) was the 'Holy Cross Parish'. Now the church has gone and the area has high rise student buildings. It is also cut off from the main area by Leeds Street. It's proximatey to Liverpool city centre, well it is on the doorstep. However because of the students it is more prominently known as Marybone. I think it is a local term aswell. Dmcm2008 (talk) 19:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reversing of edits

Get a life, bet you have never read a Liverpool Echo. You clearly are a stuck up so and so.Dmcm2008 (talk) 20:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

If it is not a fact then it should not be in an Encyclopedia. What you are doing is adding your own opinion. Please stop.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 20:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disused Stations & Seacombe Branch on Wirral Railway

Hi Kitchen Knife. Have expanded and tidied up Liscard and Poulton railway station and Seacombe railway station, adding Disused Station navigation templates to the bottom of the articles. I noticed you've helpfully expanded the nav templates at Bidston railway station, Birkenhead North railway station and Wallasey Village railway station to include the disused branch. You've added Terminates to the following station. Out of interest, was this the case or were there not through trains to Chester, Wrexham, West Kirby and New Brighton from this branch?

I'd also be grateful if you could advise me if I'm correct in how I've used these templates. I've listed the route as LMS "Wirral Railway", where you've put Wirral Railway "Seacombe Branch" - shall I change my edits too? Perhaps I should also change the colours on the disused stations from black to green to match your additions. Any thoughts? Snowy 1973 (talk) 14:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the "Terminates" explanation, makes sense. Agree that the Wirral Railway article needs a bit of expanding *and clarifying). You're right about the map on Disused Stations, although the New Brighton/Wallasey service is mentioned in my book ref in the early years of the line. I assume that's why it was advertised on the photo of the front of Seacombe Station. Cheers Snowy 1973 (talk) 15:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
