Hello! My name is Belugaboy, and by now, you and I both have heard of the Motto Shop, and if not, there's a Motto Shop! It's an exclusive place where users can get their own motto to live by on the wiki. It's great, but we're really running slow, in fact, we haven't seen a customer in months. So we thought YOU, the contributors to Motto of the Day, could spread the word to your WikiFriends, heck, order yourself one, whether you have or haven't before. Thank you and warm regards to all of you!
Hi, re this - positive, it's right in front of me. As a matter of fact, it arrived on 3 October - I remember this because it was in the same post as a birthday card which my mother posted on 1 Oct (my actual birthday is 2 Oct). --Redrose64 (talk) 20:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I was about to do that; how could you? :) That aside, I agree; do you have any ideas on what we can do to keep this alive? ~~ Hi878(Come shout at me!) 17:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
We need your help. We would be grateful if you would take a few minutes to discuss the nomination for Christmas. The second version is much better, but it is necessary to reach a consensus before approving it. Thanks and all the best for the upcoming Holiday season! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
You have recently made a few additions to this category, but I am not entirely sure they are correct. These parks may be managed by the agency named The Royal Parks, but the category seems to refer to the parks themselves rather to the agency, and therefore I believe it ought to include only those eight parks which are actually known as Royal Parks (see here).

RE: Winter solstice nominations
Are you referring to this nomination? Well, the first line is for the northern hemisphere while the second line suits for the southern hemisphere. It is also suitable for both the Winter (December) and Summer (June) solstice. It's about the same for this other one, but I used one quote only (by Robert Louis Stevenson, which I think it is better for Summer). I wish you and your family all the very best for the upcoming Holiday season and the New Year. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 18:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Simply south! Please, consider to give your opinion on this nomination for the New Year's Day, and, if you can, check the nomination for the eleventh birthday of Wikipedia (it's just 1-2 noms below). Thank you, and a Merry Christmas and a New Year of health, happiness, peace, love, and prosperity to you and your family. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:20, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, this was never discussed; it looks like they just added it to the schedule. I have replaced it with one from the end of the schedule; if it turns out I was wrong, please feel free to trout me and switch it back. ~~ Hi878(Come shout at me!) 01:04, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed something somewhat odd... Look at the fifth one down. It makes it look like we are suggesting that the reader nominates a free encyclopedia. What could we change it to? ~~ Hi878(Come shout at me!) 18:53, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
It seems I'm bugging you about MotD quite a lot... Anyways, a nomination for Wikipedia's birthday was passed. However, an alternative did get proposed, but it got very little discussion. I think it would be better if all options were able to be discussed, as this is a somewhat important day. There would still be time to switch the motto out, if people think it is better, so any comments that you could make would be great! ~~ Hi878(Come shout at me!) 00:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
It appears that the alternative has been put in, so forget I said anything! ~~ Hi878(Come shout at me!) 23:31, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I noticed your recent addition and, whilst I think it's a good idea to have a list of the planned stations, I feel that they belong as a new section of List of former and unopened London Underground stations rather than on the list of current stations. This could be mentioned in the text and linked to from the see also section. A redirect from List of planned London Underground stations to that section would also be useful.--DavidCane (talk) 22:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

There are currently 2,804 project pages; all have been assessed for quality and importance. If you see a new article on a project topic which is not rated, please add the banner to the talk page and assess it.
Discussions within the project were the categories for renaming, creating Cromwell Curve and the notability of Bateaux London.
Other project related discussions included train and station identification, the Crystal Palace to Beckenham Junction Line, renaming categories, Greater Anglia, the Harrington Hump, bus stations and road bridges on route diagrams.
Is there a source anywhere that currently gives this as the name for the station? It seems a rather ungainly mouthful and the diagram of the proposed extension (here) calls it just Watford Hospital station. I suspect when it comes to be named, it may simply be called "Vicarage Road". --DavidCane (talk) 21:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Are you referring to the Plutus, Cupid, and Time "affair"? It's the only nomination with a suggested date. If this is correct, then it is not going to be approved so far, but I made a new version. IMHO, if it will be good enough for Valentine's Day, then we should move the motto for February 14 to the firt available date, and have the approved "love theme" for the 14th. Otherwise, and in any case, just do what you think is best for (you and) MotD. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 15:12, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm trying to work out an enhanced version of Template:Infobox closed London station which, when a station closes, will allow ((Infobox London station)) to be changed to ((Infobox closed London station)) with minimum loss of displayed information. As things stood, all the information in the |yearsn=|eventsn= disappeared straightaway, so a few days ago I added those to Template:Infobox closed London station. I decided that the best way of having them show similarly was to do a straight copy; but prior to doing this, I realised that new usage figures would soon be released which would need a renumbering of the rows. Not wishing the two infoboxes to get out of step quickly, I renumbered the yearsn/eventsn rows in Template:Infobox London station from 40-54 to 50-64, to create a largish gap in the sequence to facilitate the insertion of more usage rows. I also renumbered some of the later rows. I should have renumbered the original/pregroup/postgroup rows at the same time, but hadn't decided on their best positions, because Template:Infobox closed London station has some related parameters which belong with those, so although I could have renumbered them from 36-39 to 46-49, I didn't, just in case they needed further revision. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:54, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
