Made first edit to Wikipedia.
I have converted a few of the citations from bare URLs to proper citations. Please flesh out the remaining citations in the same manner. (Note that this only applies to those URLs where you are actually citing a source, rather than simply externally linking to a web site. It's the citations that are in the References section that require attention.) Uncle G (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
You're doing well. Don't forget to put the datelines and (if given) bylines on news citations. URLs rot. But dateline+publication+title do not. With them, a reader can look up a news article on a search engine, or in a microfiche catalogue. Similarly, it's a good idea to include the publication dates (and in the latter case, access dates) in press release and web page citations. Uncle G (talk) 03:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Re: 2M Group
The article wasn't deleted by me, it was deleted by Stephen (talk · contribs). --MZMcBride (talk) 04:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Peter, I've put it at User:PeterIto/2M Group for you to improve before it can go back into the mainspace. Drop me a note when you think it is ready. --Stephen 07:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Peter, the references in the issues section must reference 2M in conjunction with the issue. For example, for the increase in flight numbers, a reference needs to show how the 2M Group are positioned on this, rather than a reference stating that this increase will happen. Some of the refs do mention the group but this needs to be consistent throughout. --Stephen 00:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Ferries
I've put the data of the two deleted articles at User:Peterlto/Ferries as you want to try to resurrect the articles (as it was before deleted by a large majority vote) or you wanted to merge/add that data it with the RCR 41, Suffolk article. However, I've put the contents of the two together but you can split them before you can try the deletion review after the improvements, if it's the case.--JForget 23:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I've made some clean-up to the article to comply with the standards of most pages and
Finally, when you are ready you can list it to
Well since all the info about the four ferries connecting
Thanks! I've made redirects of all four ferries to the new article and I've merged and redirected the Harwich Harbour Ferry article too as it is simply a duplication of what it is said in the Suffolk ferries article.JForget 20:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I've reverted the last edit but it should have more information in that article or someone else may flag it for a merge, redirect or deletion or simply speedy redirect it as duplication from the Ferries article.--JForget 20:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Air transport issues and organisations in the UK
Hi Peter
I've had a quick look through the
- OK. I've restated what we have discussed so far in WP:FAC quality, where prose rather than lists will be necessary) at a general level rather than getting bogged down in specific airport campaigns, and every airport would pretty much be subject to the same general issues anyway. The individual airport articles would IMHO be the best place for the specifics of the debate as it relates to them. Perhaps if you respond/restate your position in the talk page for Future... we can consolidate the conversation and open it up for wider input. Cheers. --FactotEm (talk) 13:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)]
Carfree movement
Hi there - thanks for your note about this article. I didn't expect anyone to to be actively working on it either - it certainly needed some work! My edits were mostly cosmetic and fact-tagging, rather than substantive. Your revisions looks really good - substantive and also give the article more balance. I have just updated a couple of tags to newer format and indicated a couple of places where refs are still needs. Otherwise it looks a lot better! - Ahunt (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note - the article is looking quite good now! The photo was the best one I had - I thought it sort of illustrated the sense of "struggle" in urban places these days! I'll have a look at those other pages you mentioned as soon as I can do so. - Ahunt (talk) 16:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC) (PS the photo is of my quadracycle!)
Association of British Drivers
As you request I had a look at the
On the Flying Matters article - I have read the article and the talk page and really can't see the need for the tag - it is sectioned and wikified (perhaps too wikified) and doesn't seem to be in need of clean-up. Additional text to balance viewpoints and criticism would help perhaps, but that isn't clean-up. I didn't pull the tag, but perhaps you will want to put a note on the talk page asking if anyone thinks it needs further clean-up and if so, what. If no one comes up with anything then go ahead and pull the tag.
On the
- I have added a criticisms section to the ABD article in an attempt to give it some balance. It isn't hard to find credible criticism of the association - there are lots of people who have quite a lot to say in response to some of the ABD's statements, but I didn't want to unbalance the article the other way by citing too many of them. I have detagged it on the basis of these additions. - Ahunt (talk) 12:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Public Transport edits
Hi, you asked me to reply here to your comment on
I'm very dubious about restoring articles like this but I have done so. I wanted you to know that I will be keeping a very close eye on the article and expect that you will be adding actual CONTENT to it; as it presently stands, it's a speediable collection of links and links alone. Please don't disappoint me; I mean to look at this daily for a while. If you have any questions or problems, you can leave a message on my talk page. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've restored the talk page as you requested. Hope this helps, and I'll look forward to seeing your work. If there's anything further, just let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, sorry I had this page deleted, It was looking a bit
- I am glad it was a mistake and oversight. Btw, I didn't create it but I had been considering creating one of that title so grabbed it and built on it. Can I suggest that people look at the logs and talk pages to guage a) how recent it is b) if it has a community developing it or one person c) if there is acknowledgement that more work is required d) th track record of the creater. This article would have met all the criteria (the originator of this one was an administrator and I present myself as a transport expert and committed contributor to transport related articles). As a newbie wikipedian a month ago the callus deletion of articles without discussion or notification has been very off-putting. I know a leader in the public transport IT field who has given up contributing after a number of articles he was writing were removed. It is execution without arrest or in some times without even a trial or notificationPeterIto (talk) 09:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I dropped a note on the format of this article at its talk page. I think it has the potential to be an interesting page depending on the course you let it take, especially if you can get it to complement the appropriate Direct Action / Public inquiry / Roads in the United Kingdom articles. Good luck. Ephebi (talk) 09:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)]
Charles Geoffrey Vickers
Thanks for your work on
- Could you give me some examples and a bit of time? I do want to get a clearer picture across about the man and his motivations and activities that was the case with the current article. There is loads about his military career but nearly nothing about his time at the National Coal Board for example. I am about done on getting the structure how I saw it, do please either sympathetically get it into a more appropriate format yourself or give me some guidance. Geoffrey was my grandfather and someone I care about dearly and I have a trunk full of his documents (literally). As I am writing this I am finding more about how his life and ideas developed and are still alive today and that is something that was not coming across.PeterIto (talk) 00:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have had a quick look at some of the other system scientists and hope I am not too far adrift. These are certainly the periods into which his life fell. I will stop now, so please take over if you would like to or give me some more specific guidance. I will be able to work on it some more tomorrow. PeterIto (talk) 00:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
An example:
Albert Einstein (German: IPA: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪ̯nʃtaɪ̯n] ; English: /ˈælbɝt ˈaɪnstaɪn/) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist.
The first sentence has to give the most basic data. Good luck -- Mdd (talk) 00:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Woodhead Tunnel
The present edit is a complete pig's ear! Can I suggest you get the 'history' ahead of the 'current situation', don't confuse the CEGB with the National Grid, don't have the index 3/4ths way through the article and slow down the breathless style! Sorry Bob aka Linuxlad (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed; I think it is fine now, CEGB confusion fixed but it was in their already. Apologies for the mess in the middle of the process anyway. PeterIto (talk) 07:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
New schemes inobox
Copy of my reply on my talk page:
Thanks very much for the work on this. It is an area that is sadly lacking, yet it is darned easy to reference with the modern information we have on the web. I wouldn't have a problem with major schemes (eg. new bypasses that are particularly controversial) having one, but for a small section of an article it might be overkill. We do have {{UK road routebox}} as well, which might be modifiable to include this info. Regan123 (talk) 18:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. I agree one needs some guidelines on 'notability' of improvements (although what is notable to one person won't be for another). The thing to bear in mind is that more than one road scheme can apply to a single road and will have different time-lines, so I think they do need independent 'lives' from the road. The M1 has a number if distinct widening schemes at different stages. My interest is on strategically useful schemes mentioned in HA plans, Regional plans of moajor schemes in Local Transport Plans all of which I would argue are notable PeterIto (talk) 19:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Summerhill
Thanks for all your work adding citations for the Summerhill School page - I know I tend to leave out references, since I'm usually writing from personal experience. Mishagale (talk) 00:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Always nice to meet someone interested in the school, the drama you mentioned was historically accurate in a very broad sense, and sometimes descended to actually get the specifics right (the bit about 3 kids chairing the meeting in the courtroom from the judges chairs was true for instance; I was "vice chair.") The apparently O.T.T. portrayal of the inspectors as arch-bureaucrats with no actual interest in children was actually disturbingly true to life! And there wasn't a "nice" inspector who made friends with the kids, they were all gits ;). The only inaccuracy that actually annoyed me was the portrayal of Neill as the grand old man with his portrait over the mantel, his name spoken in hushed tones by his reverential followers. We're Summerhillians not Scientologists! Mishagale (talk) 15:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
