They go round and round, you know.

If you pick the names that the world already uses, and the scopes that it gives, for these things, three things will happen:

You won't face accusations of original research.
Instead of these things being obscure articles for a niche group of bus enthusiasts, they become important articles in human geography, dealing with the local transport geography of a major conurbation.
As a consequence, you can probably rope in the railway article writers, cycling article writers, and human geographers from other WikiProjects to turn the articles from things that people dismiss as "just those bus geeks writing timetables" into what you could probably make, as long as you incorporated all of the human geography aspects, into GA or FA class articles on these various transport corridors.

Speedy deletion of West Midlands Warwick Road Corridor

A tag has been placed on West Midlands Warwick Road Corridor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

User:Dudleybus/139 and User:Dudleybus/The Secret Page Challenge

Hi, Dudleybus. In a July/August 2010 policy discussion (at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 34#Does WP:NOTMYSPACE apply to secret pages?), community consensus was that the policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not prohibits secret pages. Would you tag for deletion the pages User:Dudleybus/139 and User:Dudleybus/The Secret Page Challenge with {{db-userreq}}? Thank you, Cunard (talk) 04:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do Hansons still have 05 0TC? The Env 300. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.111.227 (talk) 18:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Its diagrams were took over initially by BV55UPO/URA until MX60BXA was obtained. MX60 now operates the former OTC 226 diagrams. It went in Sept 2010. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 08:27, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stagecoach Midlands

Hi Dudleybus, nice article there. Just one thing, doesn't the stuff about branding belong under Stagecoach in Warwickshire and Stagecoach in Northants? Alzarian16 (talk) 12:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and no. Simple reason being that yes because they are 2 separate brands and sub brands, therefore the main article should cover it. However saying that, it should stay as the article talks about the combined company and therefore its sub-brands, although, saying that, I can't find another Stagecoach example. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 13:45, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... on that basis, would it be better to merge the two subarticles into the larger one? They are currently unsourced so it might be a good idea. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 2 subarticles represent the 2 (legally) seperate businesses, especially as one is reprasentative of the former Midland Red South, however that could actually work. Currently i'm working on a First Midlands article off-line but without the "sub brands" included as they are part of the constituant companies. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 14:01, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First Midlands article done if you want to take a look. User:Dudleybus User talk:Dudleybus 14:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like that. It gets the main points across without becoming cluttered with details. Perhaps a little too much on First Midland Red's history, but I suppose there is quite a lot of it to get across. Something like that for Stagecoach could work well.

While I'm here, I've been meaning to ask you about West Midlands bus route 529. Everything about its history says that there should be loads of sources for it, but I can't find as much as I would expect. Can you help? Alzarian16 (talk) 15:09, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:DiamondSoloinSSlivery.jpg missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:DiamondSoloinSSlivery.jpg is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Thanks for uploading those images of the Diamond Buses, as well as the other images, as we are really lacking in photos from the West Midlands and those type of photos are needed. As I think you've noticed, I've moved some of the images to Wikimedia Commons, as they are better over there, mainly because they can be used on all the Wikimedia projects. I have created a user category to group all of your images: Commons:Category:Images by User:Dudleybus from en.wikipedia. If you upload any more images from your Commons account you might want to get it renamed to remove the "from en.Wikipedia" or something. Hope that helps, Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 18:31, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
