Hi - I have reverted your addition of a "see also" section at Adam Perry (rugby league). Linking to other people with the surname Perry is not relevant to the article and does not add to the reader's understanding of an Adam Perry who plays rugby league. Please refer to WP:See also for information on when and how to use a "see also" section. Cheers. • Florrie• leave a note• 14:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello Peter! I see you are working hard on updating tables showing bus routes for Société de transport de Trois-Rivières. Since there is some irregularity in the times and days of operation, this is perhaps a case where a unified more extensive table, might show the information better. It would look similar to the STTR table without specific hours. - Secondarywaltz ( talk) 17:23, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi peter - you wrote: is there any good reason for your turning cat walk into a redirect page? If you would but check the context in which it is used in the articles that link to it, you might possibly realize that this redirect to catwalk (disambiguation) is somewhat less than usefull. The use of the word "catwalk" in a building, structure or refinery etc. is probably older than its use in the fashion industry. Incedentally, I found two (2) more articles that had to be linked to "cat walk". However a solution would be to redirect cat walk to a new section called " Footbridge#Catwalk" in the article footbridge as is done in the case of Runway (fashion)#Runway.
Hi again - you wrote:While checking "What links here" for runway, I found Cindy Crawford "competing" with airplanes...There may still be more silly links like that. To check all of "What links here" for runway at a glance is a huge and tedious task.
Hi. I notice you've been adding a number of articles to the Category:Pedestrian infrastructure. However, these articles all appear to be in a subcat of Category:Pedways, which itself is a subcat of Category:Pedestrian infrastructure.

Yeah I think we should put this compass which includes the northwest, northeast, southeast and southwest.

Eventually, I could or someone else can do the improvements. Maybe the same can be done with the streets bordering the riding too.-- JForget 16:08, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Peter, thank you for your sterling work on conversions. It's not my area of expertise so it's much appreciated! -- Bermicourt ( talk) 17:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Done! It was a bit of trial and error, but seems to have worked. There was a missing |} at the bottom of the table. Gruß. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 07:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Peter, I think you changed the ‰ sign to a % sign in the template. I'm not sure of the logic for this, but it now shows railways having ten times their actual gradient! So for example the Zabergäu Railway now looks like a rack railway line! I am not sure about worldwide practice, but Template:Infobox rail line caters for ‰ and it is a recognised mathematical symbol, so why not leave it as ‰ for now? If it's standard practice in the English-speaking world as a whole to use % - and I don't think it is (e.g. Britain and Australia seem to use the "1 in 40" formula) - then it needs to be divided by ten. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 19:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I see. I like what you've done with the rest of the table, but I'm not totally convinced about the merits of % over ‰. English Wikipedia is meant to cater for the whole English speaking world and certainly my dictionary has per mille as a normal (not foreign) entry and per mille gets lots of hits on English google. However, my focus is adding new material by translating articles with minimum nugatory effort, so I am inclined to leave infobox data where possible or fix the template to automatically translate it. Otherwise I now have to change every article as I move it over. Can we change the template to do the division into % automatically please? That would really help. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 08:10, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm. Jane's World Railways - thanks for the tip (but I suspect it's American!). What would be good then is to modify BS-daten to automatically add the conversions you've come up with. That way both our objectives are achieved. But I'm not an expert with tables, although I did manage to get Template:Infobox Schienenfahrzeug to translate fields and Template:Infobox Bahnhof to translate some of the data. More by luck than judgement, though! -- Bermicourt ( talk) 07:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Peter, I just had to chuckle at your comments! Anyway thanks for going through the template and correcting those links. I'm not entirely sure about the correct translation of Kesseldruck anyway. My understanding is that de.wiki shows the pressure over and above atmospheric i.e. 15 bar is really atmospheric plus 15 bar i.e. 16 bar total. So that's why I've translated it as "boiler overpressure". But if I'm wrong it's just "boiler pressure". -- Bermicourt ( talk) 20:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits to a couple of shipping container-related articles; I notice that one of the repeated changes involves converting of rail-related links to a link pointing to a sub-heading under flatcar. This sub-heading link (which is prone to break in future as it is not a redirect) states: "With the rise of intermodal freight transport-specific cars, and given the age of most of these flats, numbers will decline ".
In Europe (and especially the UK) it would not be possible to just loose-carry a shipping container on a flatcar. Ideally there will eventually be a specic container-on-rail article (eg. at container train or intermodal car) and which can linking to CargoSprinter and such-like. In the meantime, would it be possible to select one of the redirects, to enable easy repointing at a later date? — Sladen ( talk) 02:58, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Peter. Where you add spaces between measurements and units, could you please use a non-breaking space (ie ' & nbsp; ' -- without the space after '&'!)? You will see from the edited gallery on Coupling (railway) that several of the gauge measurements are now split by line-breaks, which is probably more 'wrong' than having no space at all. Cheers.

Hi, sorry for delays in this but as you may have seen from my talk page that when I added the {{ nowrap}} to the template it broke some limit and caused pages not to load. I have had to rewrite the template to avoid using the {{ convert}} template which appears to be the main cause of the problems. I have used 2 sub templates to attempt to get round the problem but it still has problems if there is a large number of calls on a page. The version is in {{ RailGauge/sandbox}} but will need lots of testing as it is all new code. I have implemented the {{ nowrap}} and a disp=s parameter to put in the slash rather than the brackets. If you can test it out and let me know if there are any problems especially in the conversions. When you are happy with it then I can put it live. Keith D ( talk) 00:27, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Why are you inserting convert templates in the marsh rice rat article? I decide not to use them in articles I write, because just typing out the conversions makes it easier to spot errors and inconsistencies and makes the wikitext more intuitive. Ucucha 01:28, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I see I am not alone. I carefully removed several the convert templates at Wagonway because they were giving an inappropriate level of precision which made rapid comprehension of the conversions a more than necessarily laboured read for 'metric users'. To get an appropriate accuracy of conversion I wanted to work to the nearest 5mm in most cases, and the template will not do that. You don't suppose that iron castings were made in the 1760's to an accuracy of 0.1 mm do you? Just because a template exist, and someone has had fun making it, does not mean that the rest of us are obliged to use it on every possible occasion. Globbet ( talk) 21:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I've spotted you on my watch list doing a lot of work on the Antarctic Islands articles and felt it should be acknoweldged. Well done. Justin talk 11:31, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Dear Peter, I see that you have put 'British Antarctic Territory' in the 'country' infobox field for a number of Antarctic islands. I wonder if that is a good idea. First, there are other sovereignty claims of the same islands too, and it is not clear why Wikipedia should give preference to one of them or another. And second, that territory is not actually governed as a UK overseas territory but under the Antarctic Treaty system instead. Therefore, it would be probably better to have Antarctica or Antarctica in the 'country' field. Best, Apcbg ( talk) 04:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I just noticed this. Is there something somewhere that says to remove the coordinates from the title? Most articles, airports, cities and geographical features, including islands, have the coordinates in the box and in the header. I would suspect that most readers expect to see the coordinates listed there. By the way if you remove ",title" then you might as well remove "display=inline" as the default is inline. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 06:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
In Prince of Wales Island (Nunavut) the coordinates appear only once in the infobox, at least when I open the article. Peter Horn User talk 15:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

―Œ(talk) 14:24, 31 October 2010 (UTC)What I mean (meant) is that with ",title" in the infobox the coordinates appear twice, one after the other, in the "| coordinates = " field of the infobox. This looks rather absurd, but this anomaly occurs in the infobox of many, many, island and other articles. By removing ",title, in the box the coordinates appear only once in that field. "| coordinates = " in the box may be a useful modification to the template and the coordinates do then not need to appear anywhere else in the article. Do you follow me?

Hi Mr Horn, Yes, I heard the news through Michel Gagnon (Antje can tell you who he is if you don't know; he's Mr Rgoer Gagnon's son). Michel seems to believe that there were a few more bankruptcies (from Pascual at least) since then... I have had no other contact with anybody since about June 2008. I now work in Vaudreuil-Dorion and live in Rigaud. Please send Antje my best regards, and I hope everybody is going well and that Antje is happy!

Per Template talk:RailGauge#ft in and Template talk:RailGauge#Fifteen inch gauge, would it be possible to get the displays for 15" and 18" gauge changed to be just in inches, not feet and inches. These two gauges (possibly others I'm unaware of) have a long tradition and recorded literature in inches alone, using feet and inches is a WP neologism for them.

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
There is a discussion starting up at Talk:Batavia (disambiguation), that may be of interest to you. The subject is technically a page move discussion, but the purpose of the discussion is to decide where Batavia should redirect. Until earlier today, Batavia redirected to History of Jakarta, but during this discussion, it is redirecting to Batavia (disambiguation). Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your help. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 22:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Peter,
I see that you reformatted the tapered shank section of the screw article. You must not have seen, but about a month ago I recommended reformatting the types section, at Talk:Screw#Types_section.

Hi. You asked that question with respect to an article car float that I started way back in 2005. I'm afraid I don't remember starting the article, or my thinking at the time. So what follows is to a certain extent reconstructive.
Firstly, to answer your question, I'm British. However I believe that car float is a US term. I'm not aware of a British English equivalent term, probably because to the best of my knowledge no such animal has ever existed in the UK. The nearest equivalent would be a train ferry, but that is a more general term, without the implications of unpowered, use of tugs etc.
I would agree that rail barge is more descriptive, but it is not a term I've ever heard used before. If that is the general term in use in Canada, then I would suggeset that this is the term that should be used in a Canadian context.

Hello Peter,
about your last edit regarding Inekon 01 Trio Design, you wrote there "This does not sound right 4alltogether, 2 Jacobs bogies & 2 regular bogies". I believe you have confused the design with Škoda 15 T, which indeed has the described bogies. However the Inekon 01 is derived from Škoda 03 T. This design has only two bogies see at the end sections, while there is middle section without bogies. The bogies are fixed (or can have some mechanical possibility of rotation up to 4° regarding to some sources, but that is more close to fixed than to real rotation anyway), so the whole end sections of the tram rotate with the bogie. This solution is OK in newly designed tramway tracks with track transition curves, however the heritage systems get quite a lot of damage (see the explanation and sources at 15T). That is why in recent years the design was sold only for export. For example in Olomouc, both Škoda 03 T and Inekon Trio run on part of the system, which is new, while in recent years only Varios with rotating bogies were bought in order to serve the whole system, including the heritage part in the city centre.

Hi Peter, I've noticed you changing and re-changing some of the {{
infobox train}} parameters in relation to the
Railway electrification system. I'm not sure what was originally intended, but I would tend to not include
overhead lines or
third rail in the "electricsystem" parameter when it may be inferred from the "collectionmethod" (e.g.
Pantograph (rail),
Third rail). It's only trains that can operate from either method (eg
Eurostar,
Metro-North M8, etc.) that perhaps need a qualifier, when I think it is better suffixed (as per
M8 (railcar)). I've added this page to my watchlist, should you wish to reply here.

Thank you for your addition to the board foot article. I'm afraid I don't understand the purpose of adding "see also" references to the Measurement Canada and Weights and Measures Act (R.S. 1985) Wikipedia pages. If there is a specific fact that can be sourced from MC or which is referenced by the W&M Act, then there should be a reference to the specific source as a footnote, with a link to the specific relevant document or Web page. If not, I don't see that a 'see also' is helpful here. Thanks, -- Macrakis ( talk) 22:27, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Peter, I notice that you wikilinked some slight gauge changes to the Gauge conversion article, which gives: In rail transportation, gauge conversion is the process of converting a railway from one rail gauge to another, through the alteration of the railway tracks.
The problem with some of your links is that there is no evidence that some of the smaller changes of 1⁄4–1⁄2 inch (6.4–12.7 mm) or even 1 inch (25 mm) were done by moving the tracks. I'm fairly certain that I've seen cited examples of such gauge harmonisation, where track wasn't actually re-gauged until it needing replacing.
That means that either those links shouldn't be made for small changes unless there is evidence that the tracks were moved. The alternative is that the Gauge conversion article should be revised to allow for such harmonisation. You might also wish to take note of Break-of-gauge#Nominal breaks of gauge. I won't revert your edits until we've plotted a way forward.
On a not unrelated note, I think the 62.25 may also have been logically redefined to 62.5.
