Hi there, forgive me for asking, but I haven't seen any Metropolitan newsletters come out in a while. Any particular reason for it? Just being nosy really. --Tom...the magic...TomatoTalk 13:50, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Filton Bank
I have never, ever, seen Filton Bank referred to as "the Filton Bank Line". -mattbuck (Talk) 19:03, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
.... for correcting the location info about Chelsea and Fulham railway station. I had overlooked that detail. I musty confess I'd never heard of Walham Green but you learn something every day. Cnbrb (talk) 11:19, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed you changed H Sq to Birkenhead HSq as this is the official name. I checked on Merseyrail here and it still records it as Hamilton Square. Just thought i'd check with you? Babydoll9799 (talk) 22:09, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

I see, thank you for explaining this to me, I guess you learn something new everyday. However, the coordinates I have placed for North Acton were just south of Harlesden; Harlesden is in the London Borough of Brent.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Croxley Rail Link, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Three Rivers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your upload of File:Block train.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

Hello! Your submission of Dawlish Avoiding Line at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 19:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
The article was edited, but the issues aren't yet addressed. Please revisit it! --Orlady (talk) 18:51, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
It's been over a week since Orlady posted the above, but you haven't responded. I'm marking the nomination for closure as unsuccessful; if you hurry, you might be able to chime in and reactivate it before the final rejection takes place. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks I've added that ref as well (it was previously being used for other claims in the article).— Rodtalk 18:27, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
On re reading your message ... I don't have any further details of publication for the newspaper clipping but reading the last line where it says "Write and tell the Gazette your views" I guess this relates to the Chew Valley Gazette and as it uses the current tense "is up for sale" I would guess it was published in 1984. I knew the previous editor & have been "introduced" to the current editor so could email them to ask them to check their archive if you think it is worth it?— Rodtalk 20:33, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Simply south. I think that the formal name for the new station will be "James Cook University Hospital" rather than just "James Cook". Although the Esk Valley Railway site calls it "James Cook" in the blog post you referred to, I think this is just shorthand rather than the official name (in the same way as you might use "New Street" as shorthand for the Birmingham New Street.
Sorry, I've corrected the signature. However, if you search on www.nationalrail.co.uk for journeys from Middlesbrough to Nunthorpe from 18 May, it shows the full JCUH name. Crookesmoor (talk) 16:39, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
It is adviseable not to move articles without first discussing the proposal on the article talk page and seeking consensus for the move. This is particularly important when the existing name has been accepted by the community for some time. You most certainly should not have unilaterally moved the article again once someone objected (WP:BRD).
In the case of two of the articles, Northeast America blackout of 2003 and Northeast America blackout of 1965, the article names have already been the subject of debate and the current names were decided upon by consensus. You therefore had no right to change them without seeking further consensus. In my view: your revised article names do not meet the requirement for article naming as the revised names are not something that anyone looking for information on the subject are likely to use as a search key (See WP:TITLE for more).
Your final transgression was to move the above two articles twice in succession. This is strict no no, because it completely screws up the ability to easily undo the damage because it is not possible to do a double move back. It has taken me over half an hour to restore things back to the accepted version. I B Wright (talk) 13:07, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
UPDATE: I have now got all 3 articles move protected so if you wish to continue with this you will have to propose it on the talk page. I B Wright (talk) 15:48, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
There is no point adding 'noredirect' to links to other articles (whether they exist or not). 'noredirect' has no actual functionality. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 14:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Not correct. It doesn't change a thing. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 12:40, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
STOP PRESS: In this context it does have an effect but only because redirect pages have been inadvertently created. Normally, with a proposed article move, the proposed name change is to a location that does not exist and consequently [[No article here]] and ((noredirect|No article here)) do exactly the same thing as you can try for yourself with No article here and No article here.
