Autoroute

Joeldl has expressed interest in resuming mediation of the autoroute dispute, of which you are a party. If you would like to resume discussion, it will be continued on the Autoroute talk page. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 20:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Manchester-Sheffield-Wath electrification diagram

Nice diagram! Maybe Darnall station should be removed because it wasn't served by electric trains? BaseTurnComplete 18:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I included Darnall because it was on the electric line. It is true that electric passenger trains stopped at Vicky right? and so only electric freight proceeded to Rotherwood. I'd like to leave Darnall there simply because it's on the line. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 19:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the electric passenger service ended at Victoria. Thinking about it, Neepsend station also closed pre-electrification. The reason why I mention these is consistency - the electrification ran through other passenger stations without them being served by electric passenger trains (Wombwell Central on the Wath branch springs to mind)BaseTurnComplete 21:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

I see what you're saying and you're right. What about if I put the stations that were not served by electric trains in grey? Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 09:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Also there was a branch to Dewsnap sidings at the Manchester end of the system; I can't remember exactly where it was over there though. It ran a mile or so north of the main line to the sidings.BaseTurnComplete 10:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Who do you find it now? Commons:Image:Woodhead electric railway.png Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 13:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Deprecated tag

About this edition, you may have not noticed that the image tag you used says in bold letter at the bottom: "This tag should not be used". Could you please consider replacing that by a valid image licensing tag? Also, don't forget to add a fair use rationale explaining why this image is ok to be used in the article it's used in. Let me know if I can be of any help. Best regards, --Abu badali 20:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Notice about Administrator's Notice Board

Notice As a courtesy, you may wish to note this item on the Administrator's Noticeboard.  DDStretch  (talk) 15:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I doubt you're doing this as courtesy it is Misplaced Pages convention telling you to put this notice on my talk page. Anyhow, enjoy yourself on since I haven't been using the vandalism tag of late. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 15:47, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Closed stations

Isn't the convention for closed stations and open alike to be "railway station" on National Rail, unless they are interchange, generally? Simply south 19:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No it isn't, why? Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 23:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Most closed railway stations do have "railway station" and i was just surprised about the Sheffield ones. Simply south 00:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It's just way it's been done. They're stations, had they been any other type of station; bus, coach, taxi would have been added, the default value was chosen. Do you have any remarks pertaining to the MML route?

Wikimapia

Hello "Scarlet", sorry you considered the Wikimapia links I included on some of the Sheffield items as spam. Actually, I didn't do this unilaterally. I included a few back in early January, (as I had some doubts myself)and waited for comments to see what everyone thought. As I recall, there was only one question about this , which I duly answered, on one of the talk pages (I'll try to find which one and let you know later, ok?). Even so I waited a further two months before including any others to allow ample feedback time, before including any more.

discussion on "Proposal to integrate WikiMapia with Misplaced Pages"

Anyway. No problem. Cheers, Wikityke 10:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ooops, I only just noticed your 13th. of Feb edit on the Sheffield external links ! (Revision as of 14:07, 13 February 2007)Wikityke 11:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Worse still, I missed this , sorry ! Wikityke 11:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

you know I have nothing against you Wikityke but I do against Wikimapia. I am all for having reference maps concerning articles but please use the generic geo linking instead of Wikimapia solely, as we discussed at the time it is preferable to offer a wide array of links, 1 for choice and 2 because Wikimapia is part of the Wikiorganisation and thus content present on it is questionable (I know I've added test bogus links ans they haven't been removed). Why link to Wikimapia when you can simply link to Google maps ;) Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 13:03, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I take your point.

How about  ?

cheers, Wikityke 15:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I've just seen. As far as i'm concerned: excellent. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 16:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

WP:ANI discussion about one of your subpages...

Misplaced Pages:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents#Inappropriate_user_page. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 13:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Per that discussion I'm going to suggest that you change the name of that page to something more appropriate, like "archived disputes".--Isotope23 20:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

What?

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock of 82.38.252.118 lifted or expired. Request handled by: Jeremy (talk) 21:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

What happenned here? Everything was fine this morning. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 19:41, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Captain scarlet. An admin has archived the the case of suspected sock puppetry and reviewed Pigsonthewing and Ddstretch's suggestions that Chilisauce is a sock puppet. The admin has recently indef blocked Chilisauce and I think that is why your IP has been autoblocked. I'm not sure when the autoblock will expire. Adambro 21:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

NHS AfC

Hi, Are you still an IT Tech in the NHS, what grade did you get in AfC? I might need to talk to you privately, is this possible? Thanks. Dalavich 20:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm no longer an IT Tech for DaSH, but if you want info on A4C we can have a private chat no problem. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 07:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry being a bit dense here, how do I start a private chat with you? Thanks. Dalavich 06:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

There is no private chat facility here, we'd have toswap email addresses for that, and the exchange od address wouldn't be secret. As a tip to find my email address, look for this username on the Misplaced Pages Commons, most photos I've uploaded have my website as a source on which is my name and aemail. Cheers, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 07:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Duplicates

Can you substitute on your subpages all svg-images for railwaydiagrams, which are duplicates, with the other one ? That will be nice. You can find them here. The filenames start with "BSicon" and contain the substring "STB" somewhere behind. Thank you. 84.150.215.245 11:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

What do you want me to do? If there's a substitution to be done, you guys can use the documentation you didn't release as a guide to what already exists and put deletion requests on the duplicates. I haven't used any duplicates and only images shown in the dpcumentaiton, if what I did is wrong, get your doc updated. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 14:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Civility

Your edit summary here is unacceptable. Remember WP:CIVIL. Andy Mabbett 08:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It's perfectly acceptable, your reply to Sheepcot was not. You stalking me onto my talk page making this kind of comment is uncivil. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 08:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

What you told Andy Mabbett here is actually correct diff so please don't think I'm trying to criticize that aspect of the dispute.

However Andy Mabbett is not stalking you here, he's disagreeing with your use of the word violent in the edit summary to describe his previous comment. Editors are bound to want an explanation directly every so often when you disagree with them. diff If Andy Mabbett starts showing up on different articles you edit, then I could see it being called stalking. As it is this looks like a misunderstanding caused by sensitive feelings and poor word choice. Here is alink to it's place on the AN/I page, in case you want to comment about this there . Anynobody 09:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up ]. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 09:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Hi - I didn't actually add the infoboxes to Dore and Totley; I just thought that seeing as they were there I'd change them to the format proposed by JeremyA (although I don't think I actually quite managed that). Warofdreams talk 12:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

True, Jhamez added them, I just thought I'd talk to a friendly face about it. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 17:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Dore

Thamks for clearing that up and the suggestion. (Btw, what is HPV?) Simply south 13:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, sorry for confusing you, HPV would be the acronym for Hope Valley Line. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 13:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, i'v added the compromise to Template:MML. Is it okay? Simply south 13:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Not quite what I had in mind, but i'll give it a go. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 13:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

See reply on the discussion page. Simply south 13:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

All good! Cheers, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 14:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Civility 2

There was no threat in the message you replied to here (unlike those you cited in that edit); your edit summary was therefore unacceptable. Kindly desist from such behaviour. Note WP:NPA, WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Andy Mabbett 15:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing, By constantly leaving thes emessages dotted aorund Misplaced Pages, you're neither making friends nor passing out as a pleasant person. It is you who are in error. I'll throw WP:NPA, WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL slap back in your face and add that Misplaced Pages is not a recreation ground, I don't particularly appreciate my talk page being taken for a soapbox.
