Roads

The basic criterion for any article on Wikipedia is that there is an article to be written in the first place that consists of much more than "X is a Y in Z". 217.36.107.9 (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transport

Just wanted to say good work on tedious transport tasks such as working on the Cardiff and Bridgend templates. Welshleprechaun (talk) 03:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Constituent roads of European route E30

A tag has been placed on Constituent roads of European route E30 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. iBen^discuss 22:03, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UK Roads

I am leaving you this message as I have deduced that you make semi-regular edits to UK road related articles. As the UK Roads WikiProject is largely inactive these days, it is necessary to contact editors individually.

There is currently a discussion ongoing at Wikipedia_talk:Manual of Style (exit lists)#United Kingdom regarding junction lists used in UK road articles. Your input in the discussion would be welcome. Jeni ^(talk) 02:23, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
