No, not I. The first mention of the Lovat was way back at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leighton_Buzzard&oldid=5922632 I may have "corrected" it to say that the river is really the Ouzel (for same reasons as you found, except that you found even more) but didn't feel I could just delete the Lovat tag on the evidence I had, especially as the primary article was Lovat and the redirect article was Ouzel. I have no idea whether anyone locally really does call it that. Go ahead and delete it now, put the evidence in the talk and see who complains. Or you could tag if with "citation needed" for a week first, if you prefer to be polite. You'll notice that I've fixed a few other redirects that were Ouzel to Lovat. --
LU Postal Area
I've found a site that could help you with the local LU postal areas and i've posted it on the LU postal area talk page, but i don't know how useful it is. I'd like myself to have this totally updated to include all the areas of Luton so data that I'm struggling to find can be put in. (I'm sure most of the post codes for areas in luton are wrong on their pages, so they need to be verified!) Thanks a lot if you can oblige to update the page, Random articles 16:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Deletion of OS maps of Bedfordshire
Because while the front cover does indeed say published 1954 internaly it says "Reprinted with minor corrections in 1959" so it's status will remain as likely copyvio for another 2 years. I'm sorry for the original mistake.Geni 14:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I can get you a scan of a map of dunstable from 1944. Would that be any help?Geni 15:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Bury Park
Hi JonH,
Thanks for your history etc on Bury Park. Do you have any further info on any of the otehr Luton areas as searching the web for most of them is tricky. If you do and would like to expand/start history sections it would be very helpful!! Many thanks--GazMan7 11:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for your kind comments. There are a lot of people who want to put luton and the surrounding areas down all the time. Lutons not perfect, but i dont think its seriously worse than any similar places, its all about balance.--GazMan7 17:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Moggerhangen
What! I thought. Chalton sounds like a real place... some troll has invented a place named after his cat and has stolen a stub to make it look real. Good job I checked. The article could do with some etymology as I'm intrigued as to where Moggermanger comes from. Nordic I guess like Lillemammer. Thanks for the correction of my placing of Chalton Victuallers

Hi Jon, my main qualm with the article and him himself wasn't his name. I just thought that his birth in
]University of Bedfordshire
Hi Jon,
some who edit the site of the University of bedfordshire sometimes insist on information being obtained that is independent of both the writer and the subject. I am not sure that this applies to your recent posting their.

Help!!
Hi there, I've just read your comments at
Map
No problem. It's nice to be appreciated! The whole of England took me over a year to complete (I was promised support from two other users!). Thankfully it is done. I think it really helps Bedfordshire content, even if I say so myself!... thanks again, --Jza84 | Talk 17:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Merging station articles
Has there been any discussion anywhere regarding your merging of
AutoRun changes
Yes, you are absolutely right - the AutoPlay term does predate Windows XP, I'd forgotten about the context menu. And it was never a specification (AutoPlay is I believe). I was never really happy with the introduction and I've rewritten it slightly to include what you said. See: User_talk:Carveone#AutoRun changes if you are interested.
I picked on you as you're the first person to add something of value!
Eg: "Windows may perform an initial action as designated on the media according to the AutoRun specification". That's getting chucked. Doesn't sound grammatically correct to my ears.
(And, as you are in the UK, I guess you'd (not) appreciate the "spelling correction" someone made. Apparantly "customisation" should have a "z". Grrrr!!).
Thanks for the kind words and the changes - little things like changing "With" to "For" do make the text flow better and I committed the changes as is. I'm not an English major but I've written enough documents to try and make them look well.
I was painfully aware that I was skirting the original research line; the section on Inf Handling required enough reading between the lines to make me spatter it with references and the notes on TweakUI use "apparantly" and "possibly" rather a lot! I stopped short of saying "Don't use TweakUI for AutoRun!" although I was rather tempted. Carveone (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
