Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nailsea and Backwell railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Portishead. 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.

List of Star Trek Novels

[edit]

Dear Mattbuck:

First, the new Strange New Worlds 2016 is an e-book. I indicated that; you deleted it.

Also, the List of Star Trek Novels page is a list for Star Trek Novels (as well as Short Stories). There have been numerous (possibly hundreds) of books about Star Trek including various reference books or even fictional reference books that did not contain stories. The Miscellaneous Section of the Star Trek List of Novels page has for some reason included a few of these books.

These include: The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition (Ira Steven Behr), July 1995 The Star Trek Cookbook (Ethan Phillips and William J Birnes), January 1999 The Hologram's Handbook (Robert Picardo, with art by Jeff Yagher), 2002

Additionally, for some reason the Miscellaneous section included books that are not "Miscellaneous" but are listed under The Next Generation. These include: Articles of the Federation (Keith R. A. DeCandido), May 2005 A Singular Destiny (Keith R. A. DeCandido), January 2009

Additionally the Miscellaneous Section included books that are merely Omnibus volumes of DS9 books already listed in the DS9 section (if anything they should be listed in the DS9 section):

Twist of Faith - DS9 "relaunch" reprint omnibus (S. D. Perry, David Weddle & Jeffrey Lang and Keith R. A. DeCandido), July 2007 These Haunted Seas - DS9 Mission Gamma reprint omnibus (David R. George III and Heather Jarman), June 2008

There have been hundreds and hundreds of Star Trek comic books. Many of these have been re-printed in "book"form (IDW constantly comes out with them). Why list just the Manga comics and not all the others? None should be listed as comics are not novels (or short stories).

It is for these reasons that I deleted the other "Miscellaneous" books

One volume missing of short stories (although parodies) that I had added is: Treks Not Taken which can be found here. https://www.amazon.com/Treks-Not-Taken-Vonnegut-Generation/dp/0060952768

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:NWLLR RDT2

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Template:NWLLR RDT2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

{{NWLLR RDT2}} was detailed diagram of the the North and West London Light Railway, showing all the connecting lines. I redrew it from the simple linear arrangement you had created into something that more accurately reflected the actual arrangement of lines, and then added it to {{NWLLR RDT}}. I hope that wasn't too presumptuous of me. Useddenim (talk) 12:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mangotsfield railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sleeper (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Transport in Bristol: Inner Circuit Road

[edit]

I take your point that it isn't appropriate to link 'ring road' to 20th Century Road Schemes in Bristol#Inner_Circuit_road. However since we have information about the actual ring road in question, wouldn't it be better to refer to that specific information rather than a generic definition of 'ring road'? Maybe something like this:

Bristol city centre was, until the 1990s, encircled by the Inner Circuit Road — Preceding unsigned comment added by RedSquirrel (talk • contribs) 10:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RedSquirrel, while I get what you're aiming at, the link target isn't suitable. The Inner Circuit Road part of that article (which by the way has anchor #Inner_Circuit_Road_(A4044), not #Inner_Circuit_Road) is about the road's construction, whereas you really want a more generalised article which explains what route the road took. If there is sufficient for an article A4044 road (Great Britain) (it's currently a redirect) then I'd say link to that, or if the 20th century article were rewritten to be grouped by road rather than by plan/actual then link to that, but as is neither is a suitable link target. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mattbuck it may not be perfect, but it seems a shame to lose the reference altogether. Can I suggest: 1. Call it the Inner Circuit Road, unlinked, rather than 'a ring road' (which would avoid potential confusion with the other two ring roads); 2. add a
See also: 20th Century Road Schemes in Bristol
at the foot of the section? RedSquirrel (talk) 16:52, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
RedSquirrel that sounds good to me. Though see alsos usually go at the heads of sections, so perhaps there instead? -mattbuck (Talk) 19:58, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Montpelier railway station

[edit]

I have edited this article in two places where it is stated that the station building was destroyed and rebuilt - the current building is part of the original construction. I struggled to find a good way to reword it without making a big deal of it. Here is a good postwar image of the surviving chunk when still in railway use:

http://archives.bristol.gov.uk/GetImage.ashx?db=Catalog&type=default&fname=43207-9-14-043.700x700.jpg

...and this shows the whole thing:

http://archives.bristol.gov.uk/GetImage.ashx?db=Catalog&type=default&fname=44819-3-164.700x700.jpg

I suspect that most of what was destroyed was the Station Master's house, but have no proof. I have seen another image showing the utilitarian postwar extension (on the site of the bit that was destroyed) also in railway use. Period Fireplaces bought the station in (I think!) the early 80s; it was pretty derelict then. RedSquirrel (talk) 09:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was at Network Rail Today and they showed me the proposals for a possible extention of metrowest down to glastonbury and street from yatton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.235.165 (talk • contribs)

82.37.235.165 that's great, but have such plans been published anywhere? Is anyone taking them seriously? There used to be a railway there sure, and in principle one could reopen it, but I don't think it's really anything which is being actively considered. The MetroWest website for instance doesn't go beyond the stage 2 reopenings. For Ashton Gate it specifically says it has been ruled out for now. That you saw something is original research and gazing into a crystal ball. The key to Wikipedia is verifiability. Unless a reliable source publishes the plans, we shouldn't include them. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pilning railway station

[edit]

It looks like you've done 99% of the work at Pilning railway station, but weren't the one who nominated it for GA status. It looks like it needs a bit of cleanup (there's an uncited paragraph, and the lede is a bit out of date), but not a huge amount. Would you be interested in getting it to GA - I'm happy to do the review - or not at this time? Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pi.1415926535 I don't think the article is GA standard, and it was nominated against my wishes. There's a lot of history missing, both ancient and modern. I'll see if I can have a look at it over the next week or something. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:46, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha. If you do decide to get it to GA standards, just let me know. And thanks as always for the effort you put in on railway history - the combination of your research skills and output is rare among editors. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:58, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Pi.1415926535 That's very kind of you to say. I am now surrounded by books again, and will hopefully get this together over the next week or so. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Pi.1415926535 I think it's probably ready now (though it now fails GA on stability grounds). -mattbuck (Talk) 13:28, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks great! I don't think the stability requirement is meant to exclude recent major expansion - I would guess that most GA candidates are the result of that - but of edit-warring or other disagreements about article contents. Ill start the review in the next few days. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mole Valley

[edit]

Just a note here to avoid massively cluttering up the discussion. I've a couple of books on order .... by Vic Murray if I remember right, the first being "Branch lines around Mitcham junction" and the second "Branch lines around Effingham Junction"; The first should help me understand Sutton to Peckham Rye and the 2nd will cover the Bookham Line. You may have noticed I generally write Irish Railway stuff and stay clear of UK thoug I do a little on Liverpool and Manchester, Birmingham and Gloucester to 1845 and L&YR to 1925; having built up some relevant book sources (some are library loans). In terms of Mole Valley stuff I've got some practical memories commuting over many of the lines in the 2010s but I am perhaps a little rusty/confused to the north east of the east croydon to clapham lines ... however in the case of southern I dont really have any book sources and cant use the libraries in the lockdown. Anyway when I get "Branch lines around Mitcham junction" I'm hoping I might get some information and make a more informed decision/suggestions. Anyway seems like the mileposts towards Dork//Horsham cam down from Raynes Park .... Hmmm.... (In some ways I was hoping they came from Peckham Rye). Thanks and regards - Derek

Djm-leighpark, I'm an expert on Bristol railways, but have been working on a personal project recently which has me delving deep into line diagrams. The mileposts to Dorking are indeed measured from Waterloo, I guess because that's the most direct route. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the 1960's/70's before Portsmouth via Fareham was electricified and there were works on the Portsmouth Direct they used to divert through Chichester and I assume Horsham-Epsom-Wimbledon to Waterloo. I have vague memories of my younger days of the train from Chichester going though Cheam, Epsom, Sutton (20 min) to Victoria, Mitcham J. then through Clapham to Victoria. Bristol I'm more famous on buses than trains but I won't go there ...though the old 08:28 Southern 377 love express from Guildford to Epsom is half a clue (dont think that runs anymore).Djm-leighpark (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mileposts can be misleading. They generally follow the first route to open but not always the one which is today's the "main" line. You'll be familiar with the mileposts west of Taunton being measured through Bristol even if the majority of trains from Paddington to Devon and Cornwall for the last 110 years have travelled via castle Cary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geof Sheppard (talk • contribs) 16:28, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wales & West

[edit]

"Manual of style is for four-digit years in ranges, and class is fine."

Well... I'm afraid I have to disagree on both points. Sorry.

For year ranges entirely within the century that began in 1900 and ended in 1999, I honestly believe that, for instance, "1989–93" and "1996–97" are neater than "1989–1993" and "1996–1997" respectively, and do the intended job just as fine. The "19" in both "1993" and "1997" genuinely feels superfluous to me.

Likewise for year ranges entirely within the century that began in 2000 and will end in 2099, e.g. "2005–08" and "2013–14" rather than "2005–2008" and "2013–2014" respectively.

On the other hand, year ranges such as "1998–2001" and "1999–2000" are absolutely fine that way and indeed *should* be styled that way, because they cover parts of two different centuries (the 1900–99 century and the 2000–99 century).

(Careful wording there as you can see, because 2000 *was* the final year of the 20th century rather than the first year of the 21st. ;) )

Regarding "Class" columns, if this word is used as the heading of the column, then does it *really* then have to be used in each subsequent entry (regardless how many entries there are)? Again, it does genuinely feel superfluous to me, and I believe that just having the class numbers (and the family names where applicable) does the intended job just as fine.

For instance,

Class
47
101
143 Pacer
150 Sprinter
170 Turbostar
377 Electrostar

as opposed to

Class
Class 47
Class 101
Class 143 Pacer
Class 150 Sprinter
Class 170 Turbostar
Class 377 Electrostar

Hi 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:D1D3:6B4E:9DF5:9775, thanks for responding. Regarding the date range, I'm afraid that Wikipedia has a manual of style, and it specifies four-digit years where possible. See MOS:DATERANGE for more info. Regarding the classes I think that simply seeing "101" with a bluelink like that just looks weird, but I'm not aware of any rules on this. I'd suggest looking at how other TOC articles are presented and emulating that. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:16, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gradients revisited

[edit]

@Mattbuck:, I saw your comment at Template talk:Convert/Archive October 2015#Angles again. I have needed to express various gradients in Cliff railways in the Isle of Man, where the original information was expressed as '1 in X' (X not always an integer) or 'Y degrees'. It was not always obvious whether two sources were indicating the same gradient, within rounding error. Also, it might make more sense for those used to modern roads (at least in Europe) to convert these figures to a percentage. Have you found any template for converting/displaying gradients? -- Verbarson  talkedits 21:22, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
