Edit summaries (Midland Main Line)

Thanks for your changes and additions to the Midland Main Line article. When looking at the History it's very useful to have a quick summary of each change. The box at the bottom called Edit summary can be used to add a sentence such as Linkified Wellingborough, or Included history of the Settle and Carlisle. If you were to make a further fix to a section the titles Added details of Bradford missing connection or a simple grammar fixes.

This summaries are really useful, please do fill them in, however small the change might be—it's fairly frequently to have a longer summary than the change itself! Enjoy Wikipedia. Sladen 00:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to Sheffield Station articles

Hi there Amgmichael, I hope you are well. I just would like to welcome you to wiki, and also make some comments concerning your edits to Sheffield Midland station and Meadowhall Interchange. Firstly, could you check the spelling before saving? You spelled "bought" as "braught" in both articles. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, you will find a built-in spell checker. Additionally, can you ensure that all internal links are correctly spelled, and also link to where you intend. You stated that Midland was in the same area as Meadowhall railway station, which is a redirect to interchange (you should not link to redirects if you can help it), and in the Meadowhall article you linked to Sheffield railway station, which is a disambiguation page for the four stations past and present which have carried the name "Sheffield" - try using the "preview" button and checking links before saving.

Anyway, I'm not sure if either of these will interest you, but you may like to join WikiProject Trains or WikiProject Sheffield. Keep up the hard work! L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 13:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Environment City, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.gwll.org.uk/index.asp?page=110. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 20:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Station boxes

Hi. Regarding your edits to the previous/next station boxes on various articles (e.g. Derby), please read this discussion. In particular, please don't use the boxes to attempt to describe calling patterns. In the Derby example, "London-Sheffield" operates on the Midland Main Line, which is already covered. The fact that there are lots of fast trains which don't call at Long Eaton, etc., should be explained properly in the text of the article. Thanks, --RFBailey 19:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Thanks for taking in my comments and the discussion. One thing: when you sign your posts on a talk page, you need to make sure that the link in the signature actually links to your user page. At the moment, you're linking to User:AMGmichael, which is not your user page (the software is case-sensitive). ---- RFBailey (talk) 18:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your new user page

Hi, while I'm happy for you to use my userpage as a template for your own, you might want to make sure that the userboxes are accurate, especially the one about how many times your page has been vandalised..... --RFBailey (talk) 18:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bedford railway station

Hi Amgmichael,

I have reverted your recent change to Bedford railway station. It added a reference to the Eurostar website about fares being available from stations in the UK. I had removed the reference earlier. The external link has been dead for some time and is unlikely to come back. I haven't found the page or anything like it in an archive anywhere. I know that dead links shouldn't necessarily be deleted, but there needs to be hope that it could be resurrected. Would anyone contest the stated fact and therefore require the reference? You also need to ask how encyclopaedic the information being referenced is and whether the article needs it. Bleakcomb (talk) 11:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

East Midlands Trains draft timetable

Hi, could you possibly tell me where you found the "draft timetable" you keep referring to in edit summaries such as [1]? I'd be interested to see it. Thanks, --RFBailey (talk) 23:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am a 'stakeholder' (don't ask me why/how!) according to EMT and recieved an email from them containing it. I am also an employee of the company, however they have said/shown nothing to their front line staff.Amgmichael (talk) 14:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see. In which case, it is probably not a good idea to use it as a source: if it is not a publicly available document, it can't be verified independently. Also, it is only a draft, which means that it may well change before being implemented. --RFBailey (talk) 19:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

I see someone this morning has changed every instance of signalling in "Erewash Valley Line" to signaling. Does Wikipedia have policy on using British English (with two l's) 08:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes - here. British spelling should be used in articles written by / of interest to British readers. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timetable changes

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_Midlands_Trains&oldid=258589689

Hmm, not sure it's really a "controversy" - the timetable for Wellingborough clearly shows that the frequency of trains is significantly reduced, and the time it takes on many journeys has increased. Some have got faster, but the mean time between London and the two Northamptonshire towns has increased. You can't really tell that capacity is reduced from the timetables, but I know that before the changes, I got a seat on my usual trains every day (barring the odd day when things go wrong of course), and I have now had to stand (in one case, in first class because we couldn't fit in standard) on 7 trains - i.e. every trip!

There were 42 trains from London to Wellingborough on weekdays. There are now 37. To pick a period I had memorised as a regular commuter, during the peak period (16:30 to 19:30) |old|16:30|17:00|17:15|17:30|17:45|17:55|18:00|18:25|18:30|18:55|19:00|19:30| |new|16:30|17:00| |17:30|17:45| |18:00|18:15|18:30| |19:00|19:30|

There can be no question that this is a cut in frequency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.140.133.254 (talk) 10:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Derby station

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Derby Midland railway station, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". All your recent edits seem to have been flagged as "minor", so you might want to check your preferences - in case they've inadvertently been set to mark all edits as minor.
