[edit] Wyre Dock railway station

Thanks for creating Fleetwood Wyre Dock railway station. This was on my to-do list and you've saved me some time!

All the references I've seen call the station "Wyre Dock" rather than "Fleetwood Wyre Dock". And then it was renamed "Fleetwood" in 1966. Do you have any references that call it "Fleetwood Wyre Dock"? (Or anything else for that matter.) --Dr Greg 17:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Only my own (probably faulty) memory from the only time I caught a train there, as a child, in the late 60s (after the closure of the main station). I vaguely remember the station name on the boards as being Fleetwood Wyre Dock, but wouldn't swear to it. If you have references otherwise, feel free to change it (or I can do so) It probably should also be changes on the links (to something like 'Wyre Dock (Fleetwood)' to cover the pre and post-66 names. I do have a reference for it's construction date (1901), and have made an assumption about the mainline station as dating from 1846, as a) the original station with the trestle approach was operational for 6 years (1840-46) and b) Victoria's visit in 1847 I had always assumed was to the mainline station Stevew2022 18:24, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've put in a request for a page move (at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Uncontroversial proposals). Only an admin can make the move in this case because Wyre Dock railway station already exists as a redirect which has been edited (by me). --Dr Greg 12:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Europe

I am stunned that I forgot about Azerbaijan and Armenia. Personally I have always classed them as being in Asia, for although Europe's boundries are not officially marked, they come south of the divide on two conventional demarcation lines with which I am familiar. But given Europe's non-geographical status as a continent in the first place, I agree that these nations belong to Europe; I'd even accept Kazakhstan, given that some of it is in the more geographical boundry. Their national soccer team has for some years been in UEFA, so its European status is like that of Turkey & Russia. Do you wish to make a statement on the article about that landlocked country? I'd favour it personally. Evlekis (talk) 18:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added the Kazakhstan status to the entry. All three countries appear in the Wikipedia entries for both Europe and Asia so it's consistent across entries. (Of course, if we're using UEFA membership as a criterion, Israel would be a European country as well!). Stevew2022 18:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
