Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:BSicon Crossover1.svg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:BSicon Crossover1.svg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:BSicon Crossover1.svg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I note that you have added the TWP banner to the talk page. I further note that you have given the article a "Class B" assessment. Please advise on how you reach this decision, as normally these have the be decided by a review process, and I see no trace of such a review. Olana North (talk) 07:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

While updating this page (among tens of others) with 05/06 usage statistics, I found that some railway stations weren't included in the WP:TRAIN project. When adding these, I made a cursory assessment as to their quality, and included this in the banner. Liskeard struck me at the time as being more complete than other articles which I classified as stub or start class, so I gave a B rating.

On a second look, I can see that it is not unequivocally B-class, and I have downgraded it back to a start-class article. Looking at the assessment log, I can't find any other articles that I classified as B-class.

Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 09:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that. Actaully, having looked at the assessment criteria, an article can be classed as having a "Class B" quality rating without having a review process, but it seems that at least more than one editor should have given it the once over. Thanks again. Olana North (talk) 10:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've rated this article as B-class, which is the highest rating an individual editor can assign to an article, but it is worthwhile looking at some of the comments made by reviewers on recent GA-class articles (or candidates) e.g. Talk:Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway and some non-railway ones Talk:Somerset Coal Canal. Its a good article in terms of its layout and structure; but it has some scope for improvement (see for example Talk:Manchester on a GA review). Some of the things that I thought needing cleaning up was inconsistent use of (full) dates, e.g. 1 April 2008, 1st May 2007 and 1st June, 2006; in-line citations both before and after full stops/commas (some have spaces between the full stops/commas, others don't); use of undefined abbreviations, e.g. "ACR", but there were others; and partially cited books. There are probably some more wikilinks that could go in, such as Birmingham; and, Amlwch appears in several sections, but is only linked in the first section; same for Parys Mountain. For GA, the referencing is inadequate; so if you which to take it beyond B-class more work would be needed; but it is acceptable for a B-class article.Pyrotec (talk) 16:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

That's excellent, thanks. I'll be attacking these points, and may get it to GA in the near future. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. Is there a reliable source which you can cite for the coupling information you've added recently? Cheers. Adambro (talk) 23:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. The info came from the following page on the Rail Safety and Standards Board's website: http://www.rssb.co.uk/rv_coupling_system_data/list_index.asp . I've gone back and added the reference to my earlier edits, and gone on to list coupler details for the other contemporary DMU units listed there.

Ah, great stuff, thanks for sorting this. Adambro (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I've noticed you've contributed to Template talk:Major UK railway stations and would like to ask you if you'd like to get involved with creating an FAQ for the page. It's currently in My Sandbox 2. Do you think anything can be added, or is inaccurate so should be removed or reworded? I'd welcome your feedback on my Talk Page rather than direct edits to the template. Many thanks Welshleprechaun (talk) 01:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I've proposed a name change to Template:Major UK railway stations. You may like to comment on the issue on its talk page. Regards Welshleprechaun (talk) 13:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Thanks for the photographs you took of stations in Anglesey. Sorry I messed up when reformatting the list. Edward (talk) 12:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Are you still working on them or not? I don't like adding things if someone who knows as much as/more than myself is currently doing them incase we get conflicting edits. Thanks. Cls14 (talk) 12:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:BSicon vBHF-KBFa.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 00:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi, re this series of edits - please note that the <cite id="value">{{cite book}}</cite> method is deprecated. This is because it doesn't work properly (if at all) in many browsers; and hasn't done since at least September 2009. The easiest thing to do from your viewpoint is to forget about the <cite>...</cite> tags, and instead use the |ref= parameter which is present in most citation templates, including {{cite book}}. So, here is how I've fixed it up.

There are other methods involving either {{sfn}} or {{harvnb}}; see, for example, Hinksey Halt railway station which uses {{sfn}}, and compare that with Abingdon Road Halt railway station, which is structurally a very similar article except that uses a technique very similar to that on LNWR 17in Coal Engine. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the information. LNWR 17in Coal Engine is the first article I've done major editing on in a very long time. I was copying the method I'd been advised of (somewhere) and used throughout the Anglesey Central Railway article back in 2008, which currently still has the <cite>...</cite> tags throughout. I'll have a go at updating the ACR article for good practice, using the Abingdon Halt as an example of |ref= usage: it's a fairly simple swap. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 20:14, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Here you added a new reference <ref>{{cite web |url=16 Dec 1875 |author=[[National Rail Museum]] |title=Records of the Locomotive Manufacturers' Association |year=1997 |page=7 |quote= ORDER in Perpetual Injunction in case of Attorney General ... against London & North Western Railway Co & Richard Moon ... restraining latter from manufacturing locomotive engines or other rolling stock for sale or hire on other than their own railway, 16 Dec 1875|accessdate=2014-01-2}}</ref> .
