[edit] Comments about the article

I have just been reading through the article and I must say congratulations on such a great article.

There is only one subjection I can make to your article and that is to your introduction / lead section.

I believe there is to many small detail about the system like when all the different systems where opened and closed. The reason I say this is because i was interested in syncing your article to the Trams in Australasia article. I feel it would be better if you left out some of the smaller details and or separate the smaller details from the first paragraph so both sections can be synced.

Thanks - unfortunately the lead was written in between some programming tasks late last night and I decided to post it before I was happy. I'll see what I can do over the next few days so that the lead is a good summary for the Trams in Australasia article and for this one - Peripitus (Talk) 08:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Municipal Tramways Trust article into this one.

Although I started the article Municipal Tramways Trust to detail the history of the MTT it has been largely superceded by the article Trams in Adelaide. What opinion do people have regarding a merger with the Trams in Adelaide article? Ozdaren 11:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Not really in favour of this. Partially this article is probably long enough already but mostly as the MTT article, when it's fully written, should cover much more than trams. I can see a sections on the personel, staffing practices, regulations (like one where women were fined 50 shillings for having unsafe hatpins), kensington gardens, their contribution to the River Torrens flood prevention schemes, petrol buses, and the 17 years they spent as mostly just a bus company. While researching this article I found lots of material and hope, in the fullness of time, to expand the MTT article likewise. - Peripitus (Talk) 12:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
