Gigapets!?!!! What?

Hello, you have sent me a message mentioning vandalism on the "Giga Pets" page. Just one problem. I have never even seen or have ever visited that page. I have absolutely no knowledge of Giga Pets. I go by this account, and I'm pretty much always logged in. My IP is usually at 71.254.56.27, so that's not even me. No clue man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mynabull (talk • contribs) 02:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

Apologies if you have been confused by a message not intended for you. The vandalism to Giga Pets was from the IP 72.75.153.177. This is another IP address of verizon.net which you were probably sharing with another user. Adambro 15:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Missing Link

Hello, Adam

I'm contacting you since I can't find anyone else who might know, and you have edited the Solvay Process Company article once in the past. Subsequent to your edit, because the article was becoming so long, I broke out some of the information, putting it in a separate, linked article, about the Hazard Family. Today I was contacted by e-mail from someone who had seen that linked article and now wanted to refer others to it, but found that the Hazard Family article had disappeared.

Considerable work went into compiling the information and relevant links from this lost article. Can you tell me, or refer me, to anyone who is able to explain what happened? I'd like to know if that information has been lost forever, or if it resides somewhere in computer memory. Apparently when an entire article is removed, there is no History available to document what happened.\

Thanks for your advice and help.

Hi there Paul. Regarding the article, Hazard family, it was deleted because the subject was judged to not be notable enough to merit having its own article. You can find this from the deletion log[1] for that page. The guidelines for determining notability are at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Now I'm not sure what happens to any text that was on the page Hazard family but I have retrieved what you moved from the article Solvay Process Company because it stays in the page history. I'm sure you can fit it back into the article better than me but its back at least. Adambro 08:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Use of infoboxes on railway stations

Prior to seeing your comment, I posted a query at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Transport in Scotland#Use of infoboxes. Many thanks for your comment, which I have copied there. ==Stewart 21:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Appreciate your retrieving the material from the new Hazard Family article, putting it back into the Solvay Process Company article.

Infobox discussion

Just saying i added what i based the SPT infobox on, with a couple of examples. I was hoping it was as helpful as that one, perhaps in the end. Simply south 00:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Okayplayer wiki

Please remove the"krazykid18 basically runs the site" from the Okayplayer wiki page. The previous edits were running jokes within the Okayplayer community referencing either longstanding charter members and their posts or "famous" OKPs. "krazykid18" is a recent "shock" poster on OKP.

Thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.119.70.155 (talk) 23:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

ADD page vandalised

Someone vandalised the ADD page so I restored it to the disambiguation page, I hope this was the correct action. Its only my second time editing wikipedia. Contact me at andyfrommk@gmail.com if I did anything wrong, cos I don't want my IP address banned since I use wikipedia a lot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.245.36.193 (talk) 11:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

RFA comment

Sorry for the rather late reply. I am backing down for now as i am feeling i am not quite ready. My two main goals are to get use to templating properly and not have my bland, unique templating style e.g. (my only current example that hasn't change yet)

Secondly i want to improve on projects i am trying to set up, at least one of them. I will however join in the near future. Simply south 13:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the contributions so far. Why not join WP:TIS? Simply south 14:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

SPT Stations

Thanks for added the SPT Stations category, I wasw working slowly through them with the SPT infobox, but time pressures mean that I have not had much time recently to continue.

Looking at the SPT map, the West Highland is shown as a limited SPT service to Garelochead, so I think you are right regarding Arrochar and Ardlui. --Stewart 18:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

You'll find some of my comments regarding this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Transport in Scotland. One of the ideas behind adding all SPT stations to the category being that if my proposal is adopted, it will make it much easier to make the required changes.

If this is the case, then the category could be moved into my proposed SPT template. Adambro 19:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the Transport in Scotland Project. If your contributions to date are anything to go by you presence will add greatly to our work. --Stewart 18:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Do you know what would be best for setting up assessment? Simply south 18:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't have any experience in doing so but WikiProject Council/Guide and WikiProject Council/Assessment FAQ look like they could be helpful. Adambro 19:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox UK Stations

I had not noticed the ongoing comments on the talk page, otherwise I would have made a comments. Too late now, however here are my thoughts.....

I am not convinced with your change to the template and removing of the historical data. I feel that the data from three periods is optimum. In my mind data for a single period has no context. Multiple periods gives a meaningful context and should be encouraged. I was going to leave it until the next set of data was published. I do however agree that a long list is not appropriate.

As regards usage, I prefer the terminology, however not being an AWB user, I was steadily working through the Scottish Stations as time allowed. Consequently it was a slow activity. If I had got to grips with AWB, I could have done it a bit quicker.

Moving the copyright notice would have been a simple job, if I had been paying attention. --Stewart 17:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I wholeheartly agree with you in applying consistency across the infoboxes with "universal" box.

Now for a controversal thought - as regards stats, maybe they should not really be included in the infobox at all. If usage adds to the value of an article, it should be added to the main text. Think about this in printed book space, this type of data would appear as a table during the main discussion.

Linked to this is the description of service pattern in an article. When I have been doing other edits I had been qualifying the service pattern to a current date. Incidentally, as a previous regular user of Langside railway station I have attempted to recall the service pattern over the past 20-25 years. --Stewart 18:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox SPT Stations

Are you now going to do the same to the SPT template with regards to exits? Mind you, you have provided a very useful insight to the SPT template - and is it really necessary. Ignoring Partick for the time being, the UK Stations infobox, and the Glasgow Subway infobox I think is the way forward. For Partick, just use both. I had added the SPT station category to the infobox, so this will have to be added to th article when the infobox is changed. --Stewart 17:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I have replied on your talk page. Adambro 18:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you take a look at my proposed amendment at the bottom of the talk page please? It's largely uncontroversial, but I'd still like the approval of another editor before making the changes. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 19:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox for UK stations

I find the removal of this information not helpful. It will give a clear indication of usage over a number of years, which a single year will not.

I felt that your edits were removing important and relevant information and the way forward was to migrate all other stations to this format.

Potters Bar derailment

Thanks for the message - I've added my comment and also cited a third page - the Hatfield rail crash. Lugnuts 22:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi - just adding my support to you both for the retention of the phrase "rail crash" in related articles. It seems there's only one particular editor who seems so set on changing this, and as far as I can see, the WP:NAME guidelines do not support a mass retrospective renaming of all such articles! - HTUK 02:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Holmfirth Flood

Hi Adam! I've added a couple of further dates to the flooding list and a weblink, corrected some incorrect info on the church that was destroyed and also edited down the flood section of the Holmfirth page. I think the flood article is doing well. :) Richard Harvey 11:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

stn art lrnk

I tend to believe that if stn art lrnk is detractive from an article, it requires removing from all, and not just one. People inevitably forget, and I think all articles having this until the outcome of the TfD is invariably a good thing, as it prevents people forgetting. If it deserves to go, it deserves to go from all, and this is easier if the TfD is deleted, and all links removed by a robot later. Remove it again if you like, but if the TfD fails, please do remember to reinstate it. Cheers. M0RHI | Talk to me 22:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
