[edit] Deletion

This article seems to have been deleted without much thought. Could it be restored so that claims of copyvio can be considered? I had a look and it didn't look like copyvio to me. -- roundhouse0 13:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, we have to wait and only the "history" section of this article have copyright issue, not the other part of the article. DeltaWeb 14:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm eagerly waiting for its restoration. We'll be able to assess the situation better once that is done. I am however appaulled at the speed and lack of fosight involved in this deletion; quickly shuved under the carpet so to speak. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 14:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] opportunity

I suggest we try applying the proposed new WP Ports format guidelines when reconstructing this page. 80.200.15.62 ([[Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 02:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)]]) 02:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. There's some good data to start with, though the image is too big and the port statistics are not presented in a very user-friendly way. Shall we try this one with the format you suggested on the Ports talk page? Euryalus (talk) 20:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] so far

have made a start by correcting English. The history section will refer to links with Rouen and the recent Port 2000 development Geographical: lies at the mouth of the Seine Hinterland: is largely non-industrial but relatively good waterway connections with Paris and beyond. Some industry in Rouen but as France is still feeling the impact of Colbert's policies no large industrial consumers nearby. Have reduced the size of the graphics but they are now almost illegible Would like to find some other more interesting photographic material. Does anybody live near Le Havre? I am a bit puzzled by "Miscellaneous" in the statistics column, maybe this should read "General Cargo". Competing ports nearby are Caen and Cherbourg, and Dunkirk further up the coast. Honfleur is historically interesting. Le Havre is the first port in the "Hamburg Range" Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Help

Could someone please help format the images so that the caption under the satellite image can be seen? I've been struggling to find the right coding for this but so far no luck. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. It needed to be a thumbnail, which adds a border and allows captions. Just add |thumb| to the image formatting. Euryalus (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
