Rolling back
Howdy Carders. The rollback option appears when you look at the differences between two states of the article. I've rolledback the German armored fighting vehicle page. Oberiko 10:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- My apologies Carders, it's actually an admin function (been one for quite awhile, forgot that little point).
- There is a way for non-admins to do pretty much the same thing though. You can go to an articles history, click on an ealier version, then edit-save it. Oberiko 02:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
LInks on Historical sizes of railroads
No problem. I'd been meaning to start adding data like that to the "XXXX in rail transport" articles for some time. Rather than just a list of events, I'd like to see each of these have a general overview of the railroad scene worldwide. It would be tricky to avoid repetition in the prose without resorting to a list of statistics, but it can be done as long as the data are available. slambo 21:53, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
Woodworking wikiproject
Hello, I have noticed that you have recently been making a number of valuable edits on woodworking-related pages. I would like to start a
- In response to your message on my user talk page, yes the objective is coordination and identifying what needs to be done. On the time commitment, nothing less than 24/7 will do. :-) More seriously, I see it as mainly as a place to put ideas on what needs to be done with respect to articles on woodworking, and for participants to check when they have time to do something. Other wikiprojects have more ambitious goals, such as formatting all pages in a particular way, etc. The wikiproject page itself is editable by anybody, and this project could take any turn depending on what participants want.Luigizanasi 04:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I have started the Wikipedia:WikiProject Woodworking page. Please feel free to edit it in any way. There is also a discussion page where we can have general discussions (I think discussions about individual articles are OK in their respective talk pages).Luigizanasi 04:54, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Article comments
I noticed that you are the main editor (by history) for
]- Thank you for your comments. They are really helpful. One concern, which you brought was the notability of individual bridges. One of the motivations for starting work on the article was to provide a space for information on bridges that would probably not be notable on their own, or at least not have proper sources to justify a separate article. One point I wanted to bring out was the style of the bridges as a whole (very plain and utilitarian) and the river conditions around the bridges (often spillways and not natural), and that is best shown by the photographs, since there would be a lack of sources on the individual bridges. Since I wanted to show lots of photographs, I was concerned about the large number of thumbnails and the 'download time' imposed by putting the pictures in one article. So that was one issue about whether to split. But maybe that decision can be postponed until the Bridges article is more built up. The examples you gave are good. I think this case of the bridges in Toronto is more like the Calgary example, as the Calgary bridges don't have separate articles. I will work to integrate the bridges information into the Bridges in Toronto article, and I will use the useful table styles of the Montreal and Calgary examples. Again, thanks. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 15:03, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
