FYI

You don't need to manually remove a GAN from the GAN page. Legobot will do it for you after you take the banner off the article talk. (t · c) buidhe 22:51, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Nice work...and here's some of mine

Hi there - I read your article Timeline of the London Underground some months ago, and it gave me inspiration for Timeline of Sydney Harbour ferries. A completely different, yet somehow similar topic. It's still in my sandbox. User:Merbabu/sandbox#Lead I just need to edit the lead to about half the size and i was thinking about creating a lead montage made up of 6 or 7 images - I'm putting photo candidates here here. Hopefully i can create it in the next week or so. Also, a year or so ago, I created List of Sydney Harbour ferries, which is in places imcomplete. I'd be pleased to hear any comments, or see changes from you, on either of these. regards --Merbabu (talk) 10:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

It's always nice to know that something ones does inspires another. A great collection of photos you've brought together there. When I've got a moment I'll have a look at the text.--DavidCane (talk) 22:50, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
I particulary like the how you link to photos in Grade_I_listed_buildings_in_Maidstone with the "More Images" link. Do you know if there's a way i can do that with List of Sydney Harbour ferries? It looks like you've formatted your list differently to mine. I've got a growing list of photos [here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ferries_in_Sydney] and it would be nice to make them more accessible from the list. --Merbabu (talk) 08:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
The template used to build the table in that list obscures what is going on, but it is basically a piped link such as this '''[[Commons:Category:Kai Kai (ferry, 1906)|More Images]]''' which gives: More Images. This will link to the category page (or any other page in Wiki Commons). If you organise your images to correspond to the structure of your list they'll be easily accessible in corresponding groups--DavidCane (talk) 00:07, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi David - thanks for this. Like your list, I'd really each entry on the List of Sydney Harbour ferries to link to its commons category. Each of these commons sub cats will match up to a ferry in the list. Unfortunately i didn't set the list up the same way as you with your template. I suspect that it would be a massive task to now change the ferry list to that format.

Alternatively, if too hard to change now, I could just make do with the current list and shoe-horn the commons link into each entry. I've tried it on three entries, each with a different way - would you be able to have a look and give me your opinion? You have to scroll down to 1910 - which of the three ferries does it best? Kanimbla, Bellubera, or Kirrule? --Merbabu (talk) 02:55, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

PS - different but related topic, I've now created Timeline of Sydney Harbour ferries --Merbabu (talk) 02:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway Termini

On 7 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway Termini, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway Termini of 1846 was responsible for central London being mostly free of mainline railways and led, indirectly, to the creation of the London Underground? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway Termini. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Royal Commission on Metropolitan Railway Termini), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
