@Ritchie333:: I enjoyed seeing this. Cute way of presenting a set of articles to be worked on! --Hammersoft (talk) 14:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Hammersoft: Cheers. The ultimate aim is to get every square on that board to good article status and then take the whole lot to a good topic nomination. The entire project was very much inspired by Tim Moore's book "Do Not Pass Go" in which he visited every property on the London Monopoly board and talked about them. I'm particularly impressed what I managed to dig up for Vine Street, which is 70 foot long but has everything from erotic asphyxiation to Oscar Wilde and Shane McGowan - who'd have thought it?

- Amazing what can be packed into 70 feet. London's an amazing city. I was fortunate to stay in Southwark for a few days some years ago. A few days just isn't enough for such an amazing city. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:00, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm amazed at how Oscar Wilde seems to turn up all over the place. He must have been everywhere. I think Old Kent Road is the only article I've worked on where I haven't managed to squeeze him in somewhere. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:14, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- His was an amazing life, if lived too short. Contrastingly, a local book store used to have a cat named in his honor. The cat lived to 24. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
