Me[edit]

Hi, this is my talk page. If you have any comments or queries about my articles then please leave a message on my talk page.

My articles mainly relate to UK railway practices, stations and services.

Ince and Elton railway station[edit]

Hi Stethomson90, Thanks for your comment, unfortunately one of your comments is nonsense. I have both of the following books in front of me:

Butt, R. V. J. (October 1995). The Directory of Railway Stations: details every public and private passenger station, halt, platform and stopping place, past and present (1st ed.). Sparkford: Patrick Stephens Ltd. ISBN 978-1-85260-508-7. OCLC 60251199. OL 11956311M.
Awdry, Christopher (1990). Encyclopaedia of British Railway Companies. Sparkford: Patrick Stephens Ltd. ISBN 1-8526-0049-7. OCLC 19514063. CN 8983.

If you go to [| links to Awdry] and [| links to Butt] you will see up to 500 articles in wikipedia that invoke each template. This contradicts your statment that wikepedia does not recognised my source - you don't state which one by the way.Pyrotec (talk) 14:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The {{TrainsWikiProject}} banner[edit]

While I appreciate the helpfulness of tagging UK railway station articles that need images, the {{TrainsWikiProject}} banner is to be used on the talk pages of articles and not on the articles themselves. Thanks. Slambo (Speak) 15:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've rolled back the incorrect updates and I'm now going through them to ensure that the talk pages are properly tagged. I noticed the changes because I've been working through the unassessed category today. If you have any further questions about this, please feel free to ask me on my talk page.

Image:Northernclass86.jpg[edit]

I'm a bit concerned about this image: (a) it appears identical to this one, which would not normally be allowed on Wikipedia as it is copyrighted, and (b) given that it appears on a website entitled "Fictitious Liveries" I'm not convinced about it being authentic. Please can you explain what's going on? Thanks, --RFBailey (talk) 03:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please also see this discussion. Thanks, --RFBailey (talk) 03:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
