Train station vs. Railway station

I'd disagree that there is "no such thing in the UK as a train station". I've never called it anything other than a train station, and have heard it called a train station much more commonly than a railway station. A quick Google, limited to pages from the UK, also agrees that there's little between them (actually, train station gets 40,000 more results — but in terms of orders of magnitude, it's pretty small). (This message is inspired more by interest - my surprise that it wasn't mostly called a train station, and isn't intended to 'get at you' in any way :^) ) Angus Lepper 15:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I knew about the policy, but not about the British bias. However, I'm more than happy to bow to the OED! Thanks for the information, I was genuinely just curious. Have a nice day. :^) Angus Lepper 17:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Labor vs. Labour

Re: Changes to the iPod article, labor is the correct spelling for the US. Changing US spellings to UK ones in a US article is frowned on. --Steven Fisher 15:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Misplaced Pages:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
