Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
London King's Cross railway station, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see
Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you.

Hmm, I see it was the result of 'undo', maybe not intentional on your part!

Class 158 image removal
My mistake - I intended to replace the unlabelled image with a photograph in the franchise section, but forgot. Have done that now. - wasn't signed in

East Coast Main Line
Do you know where Durham Viaduct is (I don't) It would be nice to add it to the diagram. It is in the picture, We added digswell viaduct and of course you don't want every single bridge and crossing on a diagram of this scale but I think it would be useful to add but don't know where it goes, e.g. before or after durham.
Thanks very much for your advice on my edit relating to the "non-strike". This will be verifiable when the Herts Advertiser goes to press shortly and I will then thoroughly enjoy posting a lengthy factual account of the company's behaviour, complete with citations and links.
All the best,
You are probably receiving this because you have significantly contributed to one of our pages. If you are not yet a participant in the
Worcestershire project, now is the time to consider joining - it might help you get some assistance on a page you feel particularly attached to.
Here goes for the second irregular news bulletin...
First GA in 2010
We finally got over our euphoria over the
Malvern, Worcestershire promotion to Good Article status. The GA sets a benchmark for the quality to be targeted for other articles in the project, and clearly demonstrated how important teamwork is.
Recently founded
A lot of work has already been done since the Worcs project was started, including the recent tagging of the talk pages of all the articles about people connected with
Worcestershire, keeping spam and vandalism at bay, and welcoming new editors on their talk pages.
Experts needed!
The Worcestershire project mainly concerns settlements. It's generally agreed that the immediate priority now is to improve the articles that shiould be the flagships of the project, namely
Worcester, and
Worcestershire which are some of the articles in the worst state.
Meet up
Kudpung has booked his flight from Asia and will be back in Malvern from 1 April for a month, and looks forward to meeting up with as many Wikipedians as possible, especially those who work on the Worcs project.
NEWS
Two major debates are raging on the 'pedia and we have been cautiously taking part.
In for a shake up is an accumulation of nearly 50,000 totally unsourced articles that may end up on the cutting room floor after a period of grace. As a project, we can help by taking a look at those BLP in the county and doing what we can before the axe falls.
citations
A war almost broke out over citation formats, but a mature approach from Worcs project members prevented any physical injury. There, are only three basic rules for citations: 1. All articles must have them. 2. Consitency of format throughout an articles. 3. Changes to the format require a consensus. We are not obliged to use citation templates, and
WP:LDR might not be such a good idea while chunks of text and/or their references are being copied and pasted around related articles in the county. In any case, let's always discuss what we have in mind
HERE.
new project pages
The project main page has been pruned to be cleaner, and much of the support material has been transferred to dedicated pages. New usefull banners and templates have been created, and shortcuts to the new pages that also include a side bar navigator and a brand new easily edited To Do list.
new participant
After all the hints getting him to join, we now welcome
User:wotnow !
sysop (admin)
Our only admin has resigned his tools. It would be great to have an active admin as a member of the project. If you think you would be able to cope with all the responsibility adminship involves, checkout
WP:RfA and nominate yourself. Nobody needs to have a high edit count or to be an expert in all areas, but being active, having a reasonable overview of the workings of the Wikipedia, and a decent level of maturity, are expected minima. The process is not painless, and is worse than a British army promotion board! Alternatively you can always nominate another user.
Would you like to join the
WP:WORCS?? Please enter yourself at
WP:WORCS! - new editors are always welcome!
Happy Wikying, and thanks to everyone else who has contributed to our articles.
New project resources
Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new
WP:WORCS/HowTo.
Urgent tasks are now listed at:
WP:WORCS/ToDo. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist.
Most project pages now have brand new side bar for easy navigation. (Thanks, GyroMagician).
Priority Articles==
The top priority articles have been identified as probably being:
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, so we can concentrate our efforts on these first. Priorities are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire.
Other priorities:
The recommended priority by kind is for creation/improvement of complete articles is:
Places in the county
Schools in the county (Particularly susceptible to vandalism - please keep them on your watch lists if possible).
Transport in the county
Notable buildings/objects/geo features/AONB/Heritage sites, etc. in the county
History in the county
Industry & Commerce in the county.
People in the county - NOTE: These all need the Worcs project banner adding to their talk pages, and assessing.
County related articles about things not actually in the county, and/or other related projects.
Monitor The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Infoboxes Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing infobox.
References Please remember that the
list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be.
Moves, merges, and multiple edits Please be careful when performing articles moves and check if anyone seems to be in the middle of doing the same thing. If he; she, or they are, stop and have a chat about it. Otherwise you may be unintentionally duplicating or reverting each other's work. This is particularly important if an article is currently under a GA review. image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.
I assure you as a lifelong resident of Penrith and frequent user of the station that the warning signs have never said "You'll will be sucked off"

Disambiguation link notification for October 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited
Calderdale Royal Hospital, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page
Halifax (
check to confirm |
fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the
