Hello and welcome to my February to April archive. As usual, please do not edit the archives but if you want to reopen the archive please either copy or cut, and then paste onto my current talk page

Interesting events occurred here including 2 nominations for RfA and my 1 year anniversary.

Would you like an RFA?

PS: I haven't created the page yet, I'm waiting for your reply. bibliomaniac15 01:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I for one would support the RFA. Adambro 15:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

It's alright. I gave a similar response to Majorly's offer too. bibliomaniac15 18:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

(sorry I've added it in the wrong sections, but I'd support your RFA too.)

• No, no it didn't sound harsh, thanks for bringing it to my attention and happy edting! Respectfully.....Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 13:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought you would be a good addition for the mop with your excellent work on rail systems and user interactions. bibliomaniac15 02:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter. If you feel you have a need to expand into other topics, by all means do so. bibliomaniac15 02:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

OK

I followed the link from the Tyne and Wear Page and it must have went to the wrong article and I incorrectly added the template there, please accept my utmost apologies!Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 13:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• If you fell your not ready for an RFA thats fine, I had a failed RFA in Early Jan and deep down I knew it was going to fail (and it did - dont laugh!!). Thanks for your comments.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 13:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for creating the shortcut, If you have an interest and would like to become a member, please add your name to the participant list (this is completely optional). Thanks for your help and I have just uploaded the official project logo which I'm now going to apply to the templates and the Project Page.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 13:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Project

Thanks for the clarification. See my reply in the TIS talk page. Pyrotec 20:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I was having a lul on the project because I got engrossed in other people's edit wars on one of my other wikipedia interests (gunpowder and black powder); and secondly, joining the battle on UK station naming convention, and because of developments on line maps. I was going to do a Dreamer84 style map on some of my railway project articles that had only text; then Prettymap came in, and that has been replaced by a German-derived mapping. Once the May holiday is out of the way I want to start added maps and pictures; and that means learning the mapping syntax. At the moment, for me, its a transition phase between creating new Project articles and consolidating existing Project articles; but there are still redtext railway article names to go back to.Pyrotec 17:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

The extremities of action are to do it yourself or get other people to do it. This is the black & white, with many shades of grey in between. Assuming that you don't want to do it all yourself, you could try the following: If you have new ideas you could list them on the project pages - that might plant a seed for other people to grow. Create some stubs; create some stubs with bad grammar and some typos - that will ensure that they are ungraded; propose something contentious. I see you are also on UK Project Waterways, you could try and get some synergy. These new canal mapping symbols may be just what is need to get mappers to move between railways, canals and railways. Pyrotec 09:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to your question on my talk page, but I suggest that it be copied onto the project page. It may inspire discussion and provoke some further ideas. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I also have an MSc to do on top of my day job; Wikipedia aught to come after the second MSc, but it does not always come last. P.S. The gunpowder talk page has some real verbal punch ups if you are in need of excitement.Pyrotec 16:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

T&W station infobox

Thanks for letting me know. I have made a small amend to the infobox to make platforms a non-compulsory fierld. Could you have a check of any staions you amended to amke sure they still work with the amended template? Ta

Places of interest in Hertfordshire

I see that this article has lost its Articles for deletion vote and has now gone. I suggest material from the article is added into the main Hertfordshire article under appropriate categories describing the most significant cultural sites within the county. eg Antiquities Religeous monuments Museums etc.

Minor items can be included under the various sub categories for Hertfordshire.

Any comments? Lumos3 15:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Homer slips.

Don't beleve Saintrotter's personal attack on Homer slips. Saintrotter is a right wing radical, who also layes in to Hayford Peirce. Steer well clear of Saintrotter.--Longend. 05:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Watch out, Saitrotter put a right wing slur on my user page. --Homer slips. 05:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Saintrotter claimed they both had a vendetta on him.I wiped it from there user pages.--Lilidor 12:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

He's put it back, so I and my 2 frends are chosing to leave this 'Nazi-pedia'.--Lilidor 01:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Remember, Wikipedia's policy on personal attacks states that users' affiliations are irrelelant to their contributions and should never be used to dismiss their views. It further notes to comment on article content and not the character of other Wikipedian users. Ok Don't beleve[sic] my "personal attack" lets berry our heads in the sand and ignore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Irma_Grese#War_Crimes.3F where homer uses foul language and swears... after all it's only right wing lies --Saintrotter 11 March 2007

WA2

I don't know that the 'no fewer words than 50' rule needs changing, I personally like the idea of longer branches as it lessens the chance of a huge number being created, as was the situation with the last main game. If that's the reason for the rule, then I'd keep it, and possibly embolden it on the page with an explanation. It's more than likely that someone created the shorter branch without seeing the rule at the top; maybe it would be okay to change the word limit on the rogue branch, I doubt the branch's creator would mind. Phileas 20:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my my recent RfA in which I withdrew because the oppose votes were almost equalling the supporters. I then decided to leave my account (Tellyaddict) and start fresh under a new username, however I quickly decided to reconsider after another user persuaded me not to leave the account - I am now glad I did reconsider because leaving that account and creating a new one was too hasty so I've decided to improve rather than starting again! I hope we can remain civil and that there were no negative feelings caused. Again, thanks for your support even though I withdrew it, your vote is much appreciated! Regards - Tellyaddict (Talk) 19:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Class 378

I'd be extremely grateful if you could take a look at the Class 378 page and leave your opinion. It has been listed as an AfD on the basis that I have not provided evidence confirming the Class number. I have done this now, but those who are promoting its deletion are not prepared to accept the sources I have given. Given your attempts to provide civility during the whole {{British TOCs}} incident, I respect your opinion and would appreciate you contributing to the debate on this particular issue. Thanks Hammersfan 11/03/07, 13.10 GMT

Thank you. I'm grateful for your measured opinion. While I disagree that this should be merged at all with Class 376 (obviously since I'm the advocate for keeping this a seperate article!), I am at least gratified that you feel that this issue deserves its own special mention, and that you put emphasis on "for now". I'm also interested to know what your opinion is of the source that I've found to prove my case. To me, as Wikipedia is chock full of references that cite government websites, then to me this one is as valid as any of those. Hammersfan 11/03/07, 19.40 GMT

I realise it's very cheeky of me to ask, but do you think you could direct some others to the discussion so that their opinions can be garnered as well? I'd be most grateful - grateful enough to possibly even buy you a pint :-) Hammersfan 11/03/07, 20.10 GMT

Transport in Milton Keynes

Thanks for creating this cat, it was overdue for consistency with other articles. I don't know want the conventional qualifications are for entry to this generic cat: if you have a mo, could look at Milton Keynes Grid Road System, Milton Keynes redway system, Wolverton railway works, Wolverton and Stony Stratford Tramway and even Grand Union Canal to see if they should be added, please? --Concrete Cowboy 13:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ta. The canal link (MK-Bedford) is mentioned in the Grand Union Canal article. It is still just a proposal, though the consortium have won 250k or something to work up a fully costed proposal. They seem confident of getting a spur at least as far as the M1 but then there is a dirty big hill (Brogborough) in the way before the drop down to Marston Vale. If they get that much under way, it qualifies for an article, I think - but not before. --Concrete Cowboy 13:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't sure about any of them, which is why I asked. Changing name of grid system was on my to do list, just haven't had time to do all the redirects. So thanks for that. --Concrete Cowboy 17:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Rail Route Maps

Scotland

Signalhead and myself have been working on these this evening for various Scottish lines and railways. Callander and Oban Railway, West Highland Line, Far North Line, Cathcart Circle Lines, Aberdeen Railway, Argyle Line and North Clyde Line worked on to date. --Stewart 21:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Also Kyle of Lochalsh Line. Signalhead 22:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Moving

I don't see a particular need to move the Wikipediholic test as it is a piece of humor and not actual policy. It's well-known at its current location and moving it, in my opinion, would only cause more trouble than it's worth. Where would you like to move it to and why? - Mgm|^(talk) 08:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Are you a Wikipediaholic? is a good location for a redirect. It's easier if the page title is short and to the point (as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions). The more words you add, the more a newbie (or a veteran user for that matter) can get confused and mistype the URL. Also, nothing links to the title you suggested. Moving the page would result in thousands of redirect pages of pages that already point to the existing title. You're free to suggest it, but I don't think it's a good idea to move it. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• I looked at Wikipedia:Wikipediholic. What title are you referring to when you say the current one is longer than what you have in mind? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Ah, I see. Go ahead and suggest a move. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• That would be an overuse of capitalization. Sometimes there's reason for keeping them like Main Page and sometimes it's just to be in line with other pages. WP:MOS advises against using too many capitals in page titles, so the non-capitalized title is probably better. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Word Association suggestion

Hi, as one of the more prolific contributers to the Word Association game, I just want to point you in the direction of my suggestion on the Wikipedia talk:Sandbox/Word Association page. Any ideas/comments gratefully received. Phileas 21:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Bristol railway stations

Rather than edit the old template, I thought I might as well start from scratch as the title is rather specific and also too long to type from memory! I have left the old one for the time being in case someone objects to the change (S-rail, anyone?). Geof Sheppard 08:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

edit counter

Essjay's edit counter doesn't work anymore due to his departure from wikipedia, you may want to choose a new counter. --ROASTYTOAST 02:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:TRAIL

I don't know whether Pickle's talk page is on your watchlist, but I thought I should echo here the comment I made there, that use of "same" at junctions on these boxes should probably be avoided. Chris cheese whine 15:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

High-speed lines

Actually, the lines shown there include *all* existing dedciated high-speed lines and lines under construction that have articles on Wikipedia. (The French and Japanese lines aren't linked seperately, due to there being an "overview" type article). So, the title is valid. Tompw (talk) 13:30, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

To quote High-speed rail: "High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125 mph)." (bolding mine). CTRL aside, the fastest lines in the UK have a max speed of 125 mph (200 km/h). So, they don't qualify as being "high-speed". (Anything over 125mph requires in-cab signalling, as drivers cannot see line-side signals reliably... in-cab signalling is effectively what defines HSR, but that's a seperate issue).

The West Coast Main Line currently runs at 125mph max... I know Virgin want to run 135mph, but that's strictly a proposal only at the moment. If it happened, then the WCML would be added to the template. Tompw (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned redirects

Nothing further, unless there's anything else "wrong" with the redirect in question; redirects can be "orphans", without any need to do anything about them. Alai 15:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA animation

I feel now i am asking a really random question but can this animation be slowed down as i cannot read all the messages...?! Simply south 01:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:TRAIL icon

I am pretty sure what you have created would count more as an rf than an lg. Simply south 17:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure, I thought I had it correct. The closed line ones are now on Glasgow Central Railway. --Stewart 17:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

LTS

Yes, thinking about it that would be better. I've added the Junction names and linked to the lines they connect with directly. MRSC • Talk 12:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Grays

I got the Grays population from the following page: neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk - WOSlinker 19:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Watford DC Lines

You are one of the "lead editors"? I am correct, am I not. It being so, you should simply admit it, rather than hide in shadow. It is not "decent" of you to claim glory and recognition for an article which has failed the test.Sheepcot 07:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sonning cutting

Thanks for the kind words, I'll pop the references in over the next couple of days. Regards, Nick. Nick 19:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

WA?

Wikipedia:WikiProject Western Australia? I can't imagine why that would be worrying, why? Did something I or someone else said indicate that it would be worrying? What specifically would you be worried about? Peace, delldot talk 21:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to take so long to reply, my stupid internet connection is out at home (I'm editing illicitly from work). I don't think it would be a problem, except possibly in an RfA where all your edits are so scrutinized. Personally I still don't see any legitimate reason why it's a problem, as long as you're making productive contributions (maybe it would be a problem if MOST of your edits were just goofing around, but that's not the case here by a long shot). You might want to ask someone who's more familiar with the RfA process and trends if that's what you're curious about (since they do seem to change somewhat). Personally I think we should be giving out the mop much more easily than we currently do, but others do have different standards. My advice would be to just make sure you're spending plenty of time making valuable contributions like adding content or references to articles; then it should be no one's business what you do for fun. Peace, delldot talk 17:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Template

Well, actually its not working, I saved the page and tried it on the sandbox by using show preview and it was not displaying properly, maybe you could contact User:Froth as he is apparently very good with template work, sorry I couldn't get it working but I'm sure it'll work eventually. Regards - Tellyaddict 15:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Midland Main Line template

Can I invite you to a discussion on the future of this template, and the possibility of creating two template from this one at Template talk:Midland Main Line. L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 18:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

{{WPTIS}}

Just a quick note... I fixed two code problems on this template that were causing things to display weird on transclusions. Once you finalize the assessment and importance categories, let me know and I can update {{TrainsWikiProject}} as well. Slambo (Speak) 19:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you please let me know why you tagged this (Island Gardens DLR station). Thanks, Stephennt

Proposed move

Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation are not the same as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). SSSIs are legally protected and are nationally important for wildlife. Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation are important at the county level and have no statutory protection and do not necessarily support protected species. I don't think a move is needed. MRSC • Talk 17:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

NSEW

I would say they were less well known buildings, places and organisations that are significant,(mid) rather than key articles about important buildings, districts or topics(high) or all other less important buildings, places and stations etc. (low) MRSC • Talk 22:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

assessments

I'm not quite sure what you're question was. The bot will create the categories, so that you can place articles in them via your wikiproject banner. The category will be named Category:Scotland Transport articles by quality, for consistency with Category:London Transport articles by quality. Mahanga^Talk 03:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I didn't notice you had started to create categories. The bot does it nicely. I've created them now and I changed the banner to reflect the changes. There needs to be some cleanup in some of the old categories. I'll try to help, but I have to go to bed now. Mahanga^Talk 03:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Conflicts

I didn't see anything wrong with the edit you made, did someone have a problem with it? I didn't see any discussion on that talk page or on Talk:Kings Cross, London. Did it get discussed on someone's talk page or something? Why do you say it was a kind of conflict? Show me the difs and I'll review. So far I didn't see anything wrong with anything you did, my advice so far is to of course stay civil and discuss, discuss, discuss. Peace, delldot talk 19:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

RE:Random

To which table of contents are you referring; are you talking about my talk page headers? Oh, and another thing, I noticed your reversion of my edit at MOTD. I was not deleting archives, the section that you reverted is not even the archives. The section that you reverted, the "Decisions to be acted on" section, is a place from which old nominations are archived.  ~Steptrip 13:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the mix-up. I responded to that message right after I woke up, so, as you can tell, it would be rather easy for me to make an ignorant mistake. Again, sorry for the mix-up.  ~Steptrip 16:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for not responding to the original message. As for the headers, I felt that I had too many (plus O wanted to add the {{Wdefcon}} variant that is now at the top of my talk page, so I removed them.  ~Steptrip 16:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Final Fantasy (series)

On a small note, i've put Final Fantasy (series) up for WP:RM to Final Fantasy. Simply south 11:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. It is on my watchlist, but better safe than sorry. I added my comments and set up a voting section. This topic comes up every so often and I'm not sure there is a good answer to it. As I mention in the discussion, the term "Final Fantasy" has two very distinct meanings within the same frame of reference, which is quite different than normal dis-ambiguity issues. The common use refers to the series, but the proper use is the first game. By now, most people say "FF I", but the official title is simply FF. It is a little bit like "Kleenex" and "Fed Ex" which have come to mean something more inclusive than the original meaning. (I was visiting to a friend who worked for Scott paper once and when I asked if he had a Kleenex, and he said they prefer "Scotties" ;^)

BTW - I just noticed your question in my RFA. Not sure how I missed it earlier, but by the time I noticed I had already answered a couple of other places. I assume you already saw it answered elsewhere, but just in case I answered it again. (I hope this note doesn't break any rules. ;^) wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 18:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't like potato chips in general, and can't stand Pringles!

Re: WPTIS image on template

Actually, I was thinking about doing that already. I made it the same size as is displayed on {{WPTIS}} for consistency. Slambo (Speak) 19:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Conflicts

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I didn't see any inappropriateness in anything in the links you showed me. You didn't seem unfriendly, you explained your position, you even apologized and it looks like you ended up compromising: model behavior. It looks from the history that there were a couple of reverts, which it is of course best to avoid; you should come to a compromise first. But this was a while ago anyway. Overall if this is your worst conflict you're in excellent shape. Peace, delldot talk 19:43, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

HP7 and horcruxes

Other people answered it before I got there, but I see it the same way as them ... you sound as if you're getting the horcrux number confused with the number of soul pieces he has. DD reckons he created six horcruxes to make a seven-part soul. Six soul pieces then reside in his horcruxes, and one stays in his body. If we ask how many horcruxes he has made, the answer is definitely six (according to DD).

In a practical sense, though, it works out to the same end: Harry needs to destroy seven things; the six horcruxes, and then Voldemort. It's just that saying seven horcruxes in the article isn't quite right. Daggoth S 01:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what you're suggesting though - we're not responsible for the content of external websites; presumably you're suggesting we change the article to refer to Hythe as a town. As I said on the talk page, there's no town council and there's no borough named after it, and since there's ambiguity on the official websites we're safer calling Hythe a village. After all, presumably the parish council are more familiar with the place than the county council. Waggers 13:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Quantum Leap

Hi. The capital "L" denotes a title word and distinguishes it from the other article. Tim Long 03:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert to the vandalism on my user page! Dismas|^(talk) 10:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Noticeboard

IMHO there arent any hard rules to what should be put on the noticeboard. Certainly moves should be fine. I just created for issues that were worth bringing to the attention of other memnbers, where there wasnt already a suitable place. Pit-yacker 23:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

TeckWiz's RFA

Hey Simply south. Thanks for supporting my unsuccessful RFA this week. I hope to keep helping and improving Wikipedia alongside you. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 01:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

City of Westminster

I think I'd call the template LB Westminster, it is an LB, and then would be consistent with the list of others. There already is a template Wards of the City of London, so don't bother with that. Cheers. Kbthompson 17:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Andonic's RfA

Yeah, when Andonic accepts the RfA, he will add the correct closing date. Nishkid64 20:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: RFD

Why then is it "redirects for discussion" if it is about deletions? Simply south 22:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

It used to be Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion until July 2006, when it was moved. This was done partly to encourage people to treat it like a discussion (rather than a vote), and partly because people frequently bring redirects there asking for them to be deleted when in fact a better course of action is to re-target them, so the nomination turns into a discussion of where best to retarget. If you intend to retarget from the outset, though, there's nothing to stop you doing it yourself. We may as well let the nomination run now it is there, as people may disagree with my suggestion.

Hounslow

Alright, I'm done for the night, well until much later. So, no more conflicts. Puzzled, why so many redlinks in the list? I've tried to avoid them, as if they're not important enough to have an article, they're probably not worth listing .... Where I have included redlinks, I've gone back and created an article - hint. Someone in south London is already adding postcodes to the templates, why, I wonder? (PS I changed the Hounslow P&OS->P&OS in Hounslow, otherwise, we'd need a title). Hope that's OK with you?

Moorgate

Ouch, I know how you feel. I'm growing concerned with the way people are nominating FARs; they shouldn't blindside the writers when they are busy on other projects. FARs should be planned well in advanced for a time that the writers can be free to work on the article. — Deckiller 22:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were the original writer, not the nom. Sorry if I seemed rude :) Although I do agree that nominators should be committed to the review process if possible. — Deckiller 23:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Mistake

Thank you for alerting me on my mistake. Hope you got a laugh out of that one like I did. --Random ^{Say it here!} 00:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

WCML

The UIC definition (which I agree with) states "speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125mph)". The WCML travels at, not over, 125mph. Therefore it isn't a high-speed line. Tompw (talk) (review) 18:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Glasgow Subway

I put Mid importance on that article because I felt it fit better in that rating for TWP. While it is one of the oldest systems, I didn't think it is vital for a thorough understanding of the history and technology of rail transport on a worldwide scale. After re-reading the criteria on Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Assessment#Importance scale, I feel the subject is on the upper end of Mid importance, but still Mid. It may be High importance for WPRT or WPTIS (maybe even Top importance for WPTIS), but for rail transport in general... Slambo (Speak) 19:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

RE:RFA coding

Sure, just replace on the talk page with the results from here. ~ Magnus animum _{(aka Steptrip)} 20:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, sometimes I just respond to 1 question when there are more (i.e. 3). The edit count for an RFA is best done through Wannabe kate, and yes, the edit count currently on the talk page is lagging (I think it is about 3 days behind or so), so if you want to be bold and update it, please do so. ~ Magnus animum _{(aka Steptrip)} 20:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
