[edit] DLR redirects

Just to note i created these stations as redirects as i think it is a bit early to show their proposals as they may not occur for 10 years but then again... But if you want, you can go to the redirects and change them into the proper pages. Of course i am talking about Creekmouth DLR station and Beckton Riverside DLR station.

[edit] Future plans for railways

Hi. I see that you have been adding information about possible extensions to various railway lines. When you do this it is important to provide a reference for the plans so that it is clear that there really is a plan, proposal or study for these extensions and that it is is not just idle speculation. Thanks. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Can I second this and also recommend you be a bit more conservative about what stuff you add? Most transport projects that aren't openly backed by Tfl, DfT and/or Network Rail are going nowhere, so in most cases don't deserve a mention. --Mr Thant (talk) 18:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The above specially applies to Crossrail 2/Chelsea-Hackney/whatever. It's not really in active development and whoever takes it on next is likely to make major changes, so putting a mention in every station in the current safeguarding is a bit much. --Mr Thant (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chelney and DLR to Charing Cross

Hello again. I hate to be a pain, but you're adding an awful lot of junk to Wikipedia in the form of projects that sort-of exist but currently have no prospect of being built. No one is proposing to build the Chelsea-Hackney line - it's simply a placeholder that they can organise appropriate safeguarding around until one day someone makes a real proposal for this route. And the Charing Cross DLR branch is just a pipe-dream that deserves no mention beyond the short note on the DLR page. --Mr Thant (talk) 00:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Ground improvements at English football Stadia

An editor has nominated Ground improvements at English football Stadia, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ground improvements at English football Stadia and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Future infrastructure projects

Hi. I see you are adding information about proposed infrastructure. A few things to consider:

  1. Veracity of claims. Be sure to add a reference when claims are being made about future plans. Unsupported bold assertions or opinion are likely to be removed.
  2. Organisation of material. We have to make choices about the best way to organise things. Instead of creating a chain of stubs on each station of a proposed and as-yet unfunded extension, it is better to create a detailed summary article such Bakerloo line extension to Camberwell.
  3. Indicate significance. There are various types of proposed services around at the moment and it is important to indicate the significance and not give undue weight to things that are merely mooted or an aspiration. For example it is ok to create articles about stations that are under construction, but not a good idea to create them about stations that are just a stakeholder aspiration.

Hope this guidance helps. If other editors appear to be amending or altering your additions it is most likely because of these principles. MRSC • Talk 07:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kew Bridge Railway Station(s)

You have it that the platforms on the east chord at Kew Bridge were a separate station. What I saw at Kew Bridge station (before my WPing) suggested to me it was all one station. Maybe it depends on how a station is defined as being separate. There are First and Second Sites for some stations but not for Twickenham.
Do you know any source which might let me agree with you? WP things about the railways round there were incomplete, for example the original route to Richmond from the north through the KB east platforms and the short-lived Barnes curve was not mentioned, indeed it was said that Richmond was reached by the present line through Kew Gardens. My plan is find sources for the List of closed railway station in London now the list is fairly complete.

[edit] Braceboro Spa railway station

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Braceboro Spa railway station, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Thurlby railway station. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

[edit] Aberdare Athletic Ground

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Aberdare Athletic Ground, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Regards, CycloneNimrodTalk? 13:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Former football league members}}

Hi LC. Good work on stadiums (New Brighton/Aberdare) and I agree with your proposals for splitting the Bootle F.C. article and creating a List of former Scottish Football League clubs.

However, I don't believe that {{Former football league members}} is worth having around, largely as it will grow very quickly (Mansfield and Wrexham have to be added this year). It has been suggested that it would be better as a category. Anyway I've nominated it for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 May 7. Regards, пﮟოьεԻ 57 22:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eastwood Town F.C.

Hi,

I see you've done some good stuff on this article. I've recently rewritten the Eastwood, Nottinghamshire article.

I also see you have created Coronation Park (Eastwood). I have suggested this be merged with Eastwood, because WP:MERGE I doubt there will be enough material to have a meaningful page. Please comment at Talk:Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.

[edit] Watford and Rickmansworth Railway

Now, I'm hardly one to talk about remembering to include references, but I couldn't help but notice your edit regarding "west London bypass railway from Staines to Watford, via West Drayton and Denham".

Do you have a source for that I could look at?

[edit] Speedy deletion of Football in Greenland

A tag has been placed on Football in Greenland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ~ akendall 02:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forthbank Stadium

Hi. I have removed your recent edit as it was speculation and it wasn't referenced. There has been no plans for Forthbank to be replaced by a bigger stadium the only plans that have been talked about is increasing the size of the stadium. Gorillamusic (talk) 17:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
