[edit] DYK

On 8 November 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Victorian Railways H class, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] VR Locos
G'day I found your series of loco articles and wanted to help develop them further, the template seemed the most logical starting point. I've been pondering what to do with the diesel fleet as it is a bit of a mixed bag, with most being modified off the shelf products. My own view was to write specific VR articles and at a minimum link back to the parent products, as in most cases there were significant differences that make the VR versions unique in their own right.
I've spent most of the evening looking at how to deliniate the whole lot. My best thought was to leave the steam group as is, and then sub-divide the diesels into the VR group and include the A class, the N class and the P class in seperate, but linked, articles. The template can then be modified to list VR steam, VR railcars, VR diesels, post VR diesels and post VR railcars, which brings us right up to the the V'Locity sets. In the steam group I was planning to add a separate section for the Na and G locos.
I've also added the template to the bottom of the last section of each article, which in some cases is Preservation, in one case in Modelling and another Other Liveries. Is there a case for settling on a standardised format for all the pages and the template going at the bottom after them? Jaxsonjo 12:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shostakovitch infobox
Actually, part of my thinking was that it was too broad, and misleading. Shostakovitch a Romantic? Well, yes, but a Romantic in the same sense as Weber or Verdi? Well, no: the infobox is misleading. Part of many reasons why these boxes for composer articles are not needed. Cheers, Moreschi Talk 19:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trains portal DYK items
Thanks for suggesting so many DYK items for Portal:Trains. Since I'm on vacation until August 5, my internet connectivity is somewhat curtailed (the hotel I'm in this week charges $13/day to connect; I'll be in a different city next week, so I may be more active then). Would you be able to update the portal DYK section with one of these suggestions per day if I don't get to it by mid-morning? I've updated today's entry and I've already got the selected article and pictures set up for the next two weeks, and I've also got the archive page ready for August 1. AdThanksVance. Slambo 42 (unprivileged login of Slambo) - T 15:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Way cool, thanks! Yes, there is a lot of copy/paste. I typically open the candidates page in one tab, the edit link for the DYK section in a second tab and the archive page in a third tab. I then copy the oldest suggestion that covers a region not already listed in the section to the top of the section (I also check the links and verify that the suggested image is under a free license, and put the date that I added it there in an HTML comment), remove the bottom item from the section, and copy the whole thing to the current archive page. The main archive page will automatically display the current month's archive, so I just hit the edit link for the month section there and add the new entry to the top with a <br clear=all> after the HTML comment. Then I update the article's talk page to put the appropriate date in the portaldykdate parameter of the {{TrainsWikiProject}} banner, and I remove the suggestion from the candidates list. It usually takes me somewhere between 10-20 minutes per day depending on the number of links (since I check all of them as well as the image). I don't think anyone will really notice if it's updated in the evening or in the morning, and I have missed a few days in the past (when a day is skipped, I put it in the HTML comments too).
- Now that the NMRA convention has actually begun, there's plenty for me to see and do (and way too many models for me to spend my money on). Slambo 42 (unprivileged login of Slambo) - T 01:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help while I was out on vacation. I'm back now and getting in to wading through about a thousand photos that I took, many of which will appear on commons soon. Slambo (Speak) 10:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harold Winthrop Clapp
Nice work on the article! By the way I've been digging up bits and pieces on gauge standardisation in Australia - it probably fits into a renamed Australian broad gauge. Wongm (talk) 11:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, I seem to have got into the habit of looking through DYK nominations for articles where in pu from the Gazette would help, he looked like a fairly likely candidate for an honour, so I looke dhim up, and for once the search pulled him straight up which doesn't always happen. If you're looking for confirmation of similar info in future, the search page is here, and because the indexing is sometimes a bit off, I've been creating a list at User:David Underdown/Honours collating all the honours lists, so if you know the year an honours was awarded, you can look them up fairly quickly there. The London Gazette is the definitive source for all British Honours, military decorations and so on, whether awarded to British or Commonwealth citizens.
