Template:Gbmapping and 1 E5 people

Hi. You write:

I have changed Template:Gbmapping so it looks like this grid reference TQ234567. Please approve (or revert - as long as it gets discussed I shall be happy). -- RHaworth 18:11, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)

I'm relatively happy with that. I don't especially like links in headings, which the 'Grid Reference' sort of is, but on the other hand the 'link in brackets' is a bit cumbersome too. I'm certainly not going to revert as I think your change is an improvement, but I might put some thought into a better way.

You also write:

I created 1 E5 people a few days ago. The full set of "1 Ex people" articles sprang into existence very quickly but not a lot of pages are using them yet. -- RHaworth 18:11, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)

I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you sent me this. I've not previously had anything to do with those article. Mistaken identity perhaps.

ps. I hope you don't think I'm the idiot who cannot spell Haworth. My spelling is pretty bad, but as someone brought up just over the hills from that place, that isn't one on my sins. I just inherited it from a previous editor without noticing it.

Anyway, thanks for the messages. -- Chris j wood 15:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

How can a tram route cross a trolley bus route without short circuits

Hi Roger.

An interesting new article. I've made one small change. When I first read the para I've changed, I thought it was saying that all trams used pantographs for current collection, which obviously isn't true. On re-reading, I decided that wasn't what it said, but hopefully my change will remove the confusion. -- Chris j wood

Railway station links

NB. Template:Mmukpc prim is used for non-railway purposes and should only be changed after careful review. Template:mmukpc is an abomination reserved for use from the UK railway stations - A through Z articles - change it anyway you want.

I've been looking at a few map links tonight, and wonder if we - you - agree and would consider that we'd be better linking certain rural stations to a different scale and size of map - [1] rather than [2], and use the bigger map for those that work better at the current resolution - [3] rather than [4]? Which would mean changing the, as yet unfathomable to me - Template:Mmukpc prim and adding a new template. I can cope with pootling along chaning the maps over time. Probably. Your call. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

• I agree [1] is much prettier than [2] for those cases where multimap uses the TeleAtlas NV maps by default. So I have given you {{template:stn art lrnk}} and tested it with your example (you could have used a station that already had an article!). I have also switched template:mmukpc which is only used by "UK railway stations - ?" to use the [1] scale. Let's see if anyone screams - after all once in multimap, people can always hit the "zoom in" button.

I cannot see any difference between [3] and [4].

What is unfathomable about Template:Mmukpc prim?? It is simpler than any other links to multimap and it works with postcode or grid reference. Given the very large number of articles that use it, I would not dream of changing it. Actually that list is totally misleading - there are just two templates and four articles that use it directly.

-- RHaworth 04:04, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)

• You did not try very hard with your Ashford mod - if you follow the live departure board link, it gives you an "Information about ..." link which gives a postcode and in the case of AFK the postcode is correct (some of them are not). -- RHaworth 05:53, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)

• I was unaware of the additional information pages. Would you care to amend your templates to point additionally to [5] et al? --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:02, 2005 May 3
  • Is it cheeky to say this? - I have no objection whatsoever to your amending the templates in this way. -- RHaworth 13:52, 2005 May 3 (UTC)

There are also some links like this one for Charing Cross which go to a different set of info. pages. These can be retained even if the templates are amended. -- RHaworth 09:50, 2005 May 4 (UTC)

Dotty map scales

Hi, thanks for your comments on my talk page (I replied there). I've since realised my mistake with the scale and have also made it readable at thumbnail size. Check out Image:Nottingham - Nottinghamshire dot.png. Let me know what you think - I'll start replacing the existing maps with this scale before too long. Lupin 20:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

Map sources for Barnard Castle at grid reference NZ050165

Here's a new one with a thicker scale line.

Lupin 23:45, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

• Yes. Much better. -- RHaworth 00:05, 2005 May 10 (UTC)

Holme Moss

Regarding the Wikipedia TV-FM DX article, thanks for correcting the spelling mistake for Holme Moss. The re-direction is also appreciated. Bivariate-correlator 08:27, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Hol

I am on holiday until May 25 so apologies if messages here go unanswered. -- RHaworth 09:32, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

Curse tablet

I'm confused by your addition of text about "curse tablet" to the votive deposit article. How do the two relate? (The text doesn't make this clear, at any rate.) I think that curse tablet should be a separate article, perhaps listing votive deposit in its "See also" list. (As an aside, the secting of the "curse tablet" content is wrong: it is at ===, whereas it should be at ==. Let me know what you think. Neilc 05:34, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

• Both votive deposits and curse tablets can be used as requests to a deity to perform a specific action. I think the text makes it clear - the title of the external link sums it up nicely - Cursing Not Curing: The Darker Side of Holy Wells. The article is a nice size - there is no need to split it. Feel free to change the secting. -- RHaworth 05:57, 2005 May 28 (UTC)

Sig fixed

Sig should be fixed now - let me know if it's still causing problems. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:12, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

• That should be fixed now too. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:50, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
  • Yes, I'll buy that. -- RHaworth 01:55, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)

Have created a bio of Strachwitz located at temp page (Hyazinth_Graf_Strachwitz_von_Gross-Zauche_und_Camminetz/Temp), so feel free to use it to replace the copy and paste one from Achtungpanzer.com. Cheers--Ansbachdragoner 04:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

merging

Why do you want to merge the article on AM with the survey page, what is your motive?Andriesb 18:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• What is AM - it stands for morning? Ah, now I remember:

What is your justification for having separate articles Ananda Marga and Ananda Marga survey? What is meant to be the difference between the articles? -- RHaworth 18:30, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

It is not so much a separate article but part of the Survey of Hindu organisations. You will find AM at the beginning of the list.Andriesb 18:49, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Answer my question. What is meant to be the difference between the two Ananda Marga articles? Why should not Survey of Hindu organisations link to Ananda Marga - why do you feel it should link somewhere else? -- RHaworth 18:55, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

"delete hydroelectricity - rubbish"

Your quest for improving wikipedia by correcting inaccuracies are appraciated, but it would be helpful if you did so in a collaborative manner, and not offending other users. Thank you. The JPS 11:46, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• My apologies. Would "totally incorrect" be acceptable? -- RHaworth 11:52, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
  • The word 'correct' is certainly more polite. 'Totally' is this case would have been linguistically superfluous, since you were only correcting one point. The JPS 12:10, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Deeside Consortium

Yes, it does say it's a stub. However I have no idea what it is about. Has the college taken over control of the three schools? Is it providing bulk purchasing for all 4 schools? Are they working together to develop courses? As it reads to someone who knows nothing about this, it is not encylopedic. Stubs still need to give some idea what they are about and how that makes them notable. A few words about the purpose of the Consortium should clear this up. I suspect that if someone completly explains the purpose of the Deeside Consortium, then the stub will no longer be needed since the article would be reasonably complete.

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Brothers Family

Heya, I've moved Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Brothers Family from the VfD meta-page of the 26th to today's. Though I understand the thought behind grouping it with the related VfDs, it's generally a better idea to just append VfDs to todays list, that way people who want to keep track of all VfDs can, and the people who close VfDs can process an entire page instead of making having to wait for some entries. --W(t) June 28, 2005 22:59 (UTC)
