Hello, and welcome to the London Transport WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of London's transport system.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our Manual of style outlines some things to include. The project also provides templates to help you make the perfect article.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department has rated the quality of every London transport article in Misplaced Pages.
• Suggest an interesting London Transport fact for inclusion on the Did You Know? section of our portal.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask a fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Removing redlinks

Please stop removing valid redlinks. Redlinks on potentially valid topics are supposed to be in articles, to encourage people to create articles on these subjects, and you are deleting large numbers of clearly valid redlinks. — iridescent 20:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Bob Tumolo

A tag has been placed on Bob Tumolo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the page consists only of one sentence and may be about you or a friend.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as Bob Tumolo. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. NawlinWiki 21:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Your flicker copyright violations

Hi. Could you explain to me why my image Image:Battersea Powerstation - Across Thames - London - 020504.jpg appears on your Flickr account with no attribution and a changed licence? Much the same could be asked about your lifting Image:Hyde Park Albert Memorial Jan 2006.jpg as this.

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Northern Ireland

Hi,

I'd like to take the opportunity to advise you on two matters which, being a member or former member of the Northern Ireland WikiProject or it's sister project on Belfast, you might be interested in the following submission about a recent terrorist attack Misplaced Pages:Northern Irish Wikipedians' notice board#News.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask for your help in reviving the Northern Ireland WikiProject. Given that there are only a small number of Wikipedians from Northern Ireland or interested specifically in the region, the project needs all the help it can get.

Cheers, --Setanta747 (talk) 13:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Cheshire newsletter

The Cheshire WikiProject Newsletter

The WikiProject Cheshire Newsletter Issue I - January & February 2009 Got any suggestions? — Add them here Welcome to the first edition of the Cheshire WikiProject Newsletter! Editing news The first featured content to have been developed by project members is Listed buildings in Runcorn, Cheshire, promoted to Featured List in January, thanks largely to the hard work of Peter I. Vardy. Six articles have been promoted to Good Article status since the beginning of July. Congratulations to everyone who worked on them! Bridgewater Canal Lindow Man Lyme Park Norton Priory St Mary's Church, Nether Alderley St Mary's Church, Nantwich There are no articles currently at Featured or GA review. Seven articles have featured on the Did You Know? section of the main page since the beginning of July: Norton Priory, Port of Runcorn, Bridgewater House, Runcorn, Tatton Hall, Sutton Tunnel railway accident, John Romney & National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port 1156 articles are tagged for the project, of which 26 require assessment. Project members are currently working in the following areas: Peter I. Vardy: Arley Hall Espresso Addict: Crewe Hall DDStretch: Former administrative divisions of Cheshire (in sandbox for now) Add your current projects here... Input needed New articles & pictures have been suggested for featuring on the portal, and comments are needed here. New suggestions are always welcome. Suggestions of news items for the portal are needed here. Suggestions for the next Cheshire Project Collaboration are welcome at the project talk page. If something you're currently working on would benefit from help from other project members, list it here... Single-Page View Project news The project currently has 35 members. A warm welcome to our newest members: ARBAY, Coldmachine and Floorhugger. Preparation for the local government changes in April is ongoing. You are invited to join the WP:2009ENGLAND taskforce to coordinate the necessary changes to articles, categories, maps, infoboxes etc across articles on England. Within Cheshire, the articles for the new unitary authorities Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester have already been created and need expansion. The Cheshire Portal has been converted to use random selections. There are currently 8 selected articles, 8 selected biographies, 8 selected pictures, 13 sets of four DYKs (52 in total) & 6 quotations. The topics box has also been reformatted & expanded, to highlight more Cheshire content. Espresso Addict has proposed aiming to bring the portal up to Featured Portal status in 2009. Current standards for featured portals suggest having 15–20 items in each section. The main content that needs to be developed is biographies, preferably of GA class or above and with a reasonable quality free image. Lots of well-known people have associations with Cheshire, including the Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton & mountaineer George Mallory; a list of suggested biographies for project members to develop is here. The Cheshire Project Collaboration for the next few months is Crewe. In this time, we aim to expand it beyond its current start-class, perhaps taking it to WP:GAC. This is the first edition of the Cheshire newsletter, which aims to inform members about what is happening across the project and to facilitate cooperation between people to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of Cheshire. To help with this, a questionnaire is attached about how you see the Cheshire WikiProject developing over 2009. Finally, if you want to edit the next edition of this newsletter, please volunteer! ---Espresso Addict

Questionnaire

In an effort to assess the progress of Wikiproject Cheshire, it has been decided to send a questionnaire to members. To answer, please copy this questionnaire and paste your answers on the answer page. While participation is, of course, not compulsory, thoughtful answers will help the project to develop and improve. Thank you.

1. The project is always looking for new members, so we want to find out which ways of attracting and approaching potential members work best. Do you remember how and why you joined?

Answer:

2. How would you describe your involvement in the project? What activities do you undertake and how often do you edit Cheshire-related article?

Answer:

3. Do you feel like you receive adequate support/contact from project members?

Answer:

4. The project talk page is intended to be the hub of the project, where members discuss articles and help each other improving them. Until very recently it has been almost inactive, but do you check the project talk page?

Answer:

4a. If the talk page was more active, would you get involved in discussions there?

Answer:

5. When viewing Cheshire-related articles, are there any issues that have stood out as needing attention or frustrated you? (Traditional counties POV, poor coverage about a particular subject, vandalism going unnoticed etc)

Answer:

6. Maintaining the Cheshire portal is one of the Cheshire WikiProject's main aims, providing a display of the best and most up to date articles that are part of the project. There is currently a drive to promote it to featured status, but input from a wide range of members is needed. Do you have the portal on your watchlist?

Answer:

7. Would you be interesting in subscribing to a newsletter covering North West England, with details of work done by WikiProjects representing Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside?

Answer:

8. Finally, are there any improvements or initiatives you'd like to see WP:CHES undertake, or general comments you'd like to make?

Answer:

Invitation to Misplaced Pages meetup in London

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Misplaced Pages:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Misplaced Pages enthusiasts in which we chat about Misplaced Pages and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Misplaced Pages, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

Time for resolution

Hiya. For several months now, the article naming for 18th Century British royals has been ever-which-where — all over the shop. In an attempt to solve this, I have prepared a page for discussion: here. Please, please, please come and discuss, even contribute to the Poll. Cheers! DBD 15:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Croome Park

 Hi Coolhawks88! An article you have been involved with has been tagged by its parent project as being in need of a little attention or further development. If you can help with these minor issues please see talk:Croome Park. --Kudpung (talk) 11:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits...

...to Railpower GG20B, Slug (railroad), and BNSF Railway, have been reverted. Please STOP removing redlinks, as you were warned about above. You should also avoid overlinking articles, as you did in all 3 of these cases. WuhWuzDat 19:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
