[edit] Wikiprojects

Hi Mark, Thanks for your message. I'm concentrating on Wikipedia:WikiProject Somerset at present rather than Bristol. If you fancied looking at & improving the articles in Category:Transport in Somerset (& sub cats) that would be great. Also some of the roads etc still need to be assessed (along with the others) at Category:Unassessed Somerset articles. Any help appreciated.— Rod talk 18:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

You could also make us a userbox for the Somerset wikiproject :-)— Rod talk 18:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British TOCs template

Just to let you know discussion has taken place, which has resulted in a new design for the British TOCs template, for possible implementation on November 11th. Your comments, opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, --Jorvik 11:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Yeh, I'm just doing the Cardiff Central to Nottingham Line updates. Haven't got enough knowledge of the new routes to edits the actual content of the railway station pages. Welshleprechaun 01:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 01:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Bower Ashton Campus

A tag has been placed on Bower Ashton Campus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Edit summaries

Hi, it would really be helpful if you were to fill in the edit summary box each time you make an edit, as it enables other editors to judge whether they need to look at an edit or not. It is considered bad form not to do this! Also, some of your changes (e.g. re-ordering a railway station's list of services) should be classed as "minor edits" (by clicking the box above the "save page" button). Have a look at my contributions to see the sort of thing I'm talking about. Thanks, --RFBailey 14:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:Infobox UK station

Please see my note at Template talk:Infobox UK station#Transport for London. --Stewart (talk) 15:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Previous/next station boxes on station articles

Hi, please have a look at the discussion at WT:RAIL about these. In particular, there's a general agreement that these should be used to show the next station along the line in each direction, rather than every calling pattern. This is so that these boxes don't grow too large and are kept under control. Thus, for example, at Liverpool Lime Street it's not necessary to list both Mossley Hill and Liverpool South Parkway as "next" stations for London Midland: Mossley Hill is the next station, so only that one is required. Similarly, at Birmingham New Street it's sufficient just to say that Water Orton is the next station on the line to Leicester, even if most trains go straight to Coleshill Parkway. Thanks, --RFBailey (talk) 23:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, having two "next" stations instead of one may not "make the box any bigger", but it still adds unnecessary clutter. But having separate row of the template for "London-Birmingham and "London-Wolverhampton" is completely unnecessary, and definitely does increase the size of the boxes.
Also, please sign your posts on talk pages properly, using four tildes (~~~~), or by pressing the "signature" button, so that we can tell who left a message, as well as when! --RFBailey (talk) 16:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cardiff Bus services

Just to let you know that Cardiff's bus services aren't really organised in the fashion you wrote on Cardiff Central railway station. I can see that there is some pattern there but not a large one as to state that. Welshleprechaun (talk) 17:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image question

Step 1 would be to right mouse click on the image and choose 'Save Picture As' or 'Save image as' depending on what browser you are using. William Avery (talk) 19:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
