Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I wondered if you wouldn't mind poping over to Tulse Hill where there is a danger of an edit war developing. I noticed you have been involed in Wikipedia:WikiProject London and have been active on other London pages. The dicussion is shown on Talk:Tulse Hill and I think a third party perspective may be of some help. Many thanks. Regan123 00:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello, just to ask your opinion. User:Generic Character has redirected Wigan to Metropolitan Borough of Wigan and moved the contents there. I'm sure that this is not in line with the de facto convention of Town/district articles. What are your views? G-Man * 19:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm increasingly concerned with User:Bailrigg. This user is an emerging Naming conventions/historic county offender.
As well as the sockpuppetry, vote rigging and breaches of the naming conventions, I feel that this user is not prepared to edit towards the establised consenus/policy. this misleading edit following multiple warnings demonstrates this.
I've left some stern words (again) at their talk page, as I do not believe they are editting in good faith. I wanted to contact a few of the editing community for support and advise. Jhamez84 23:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Replied to stern words at User_talk:Jhamez84 Bailrigg 23:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Apologies... any change of some support about Bailrigg - he's contravened 3RR and is making unnatural edits. I've left comments at his Talk page, but he's unwilling to engage in debate.
I've been patient, but think the next step such as WP:3O may curb his agenda. Jhamez84 17:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. Sorry to butt in - I'd rather not have to. However, I must say I have replied to all of Jhamez84 's messages today so I don't know how that can be taken as being unwilling to engage in debate. As for 3RR I have replied at User talk:Jhamez84 Bailrigg 17:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
While I accept that Holborn Viaduct can legitimately be included on the London railway station list, I think it's taking it a bit far to include Bishopsgate and Minories, since they were replaced by existing stations, not to mention the fact that there is no living memory of either of them. Taking that view, I think then that there is a case for including both Holborn Viaduct and Broad Street on the template {{ Railway stations of London}}. Hammersfan 08/11/06, 12.35 GMT
The ILEA seemed similar to the NYCDOE. The thing is that the ILEA doesn't exist anymore. BTW, all of New York City is more or less one municipality, while London is split between several "boroughs" WhisperToMe 22:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I hope this doesn't go into an edit war. I see that over a year ago you reverted Our Phellap's move of the Gospel Oak to Barking line. May i ask why? Simply south 13:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I think it does as most lines in the UK use this capitalisation. I don't think i'm just going along with just consistency. Simply south 14:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. I was just looking at Crystal Palace, London but there seems to be something oddly familiar about the editing style going on. Maybe it is just me but would appreciate your thoughts. Regan123 22:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
See Template talk:Infobox UK station#Bilngual station names for my proposed way to standardise the formatting of stations that have names in more than one language (e.g. English and Welsh names). Thryduulf 22:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Your user page was blanked and there seems to be a tag team in action, I think the articles they are creating are hoaxes. I have to go off, so if you are online, you may want to watch them.
If a category has subcategories, it is not empty and does not meet criteria for speedy deletion. KillerChihuahua ?!? 23:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I do not think this category should be created. Has there been some discussion on this that I've missed? Almost everyone listed under Category:Natives of Berkshire are pre-1974 natives. If they are natives of the Vale of the White Horse or the western Thameside bank of South Oxfordshire, they get categorised as Category:Natives of Oxfordshire too. So they can be found all ways round. Similarly for Slough and Buckinghamshire and other places. Pre-1974 is rather meaningless. What about pre-1911, pre-1895 or pre-1844, etc? Boundary changes happened in all these years. I have added a 'see also' to Category:Natives of Berkshire to link to Category:People from Abingdon, Oxfordshire. I hope this is helpful.

Please explain why you consider my additions to Wigan article are 'nonsense'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.192.242.187 ( talk • contribs) .
Could you please give some proof that the statement referred to is false. I would be grateful if you could, as I have believed it to be true since reading the statement several times on different Lancashire sites. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.192.242.187 ( talk • contribs) .
As you created the Categories, this may be of interest... Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_November_20#Transport_in_London Regan123 14:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Right IP, right pattern of behaviour. Not much point blocking right at this second, though. Morwen - Talk 16:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but I must disagree totally with you on this move. It might be part of Greater London but the town of Richmond is not in one of it's postal districts. Zir 00:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC) see Talk:Richmond
Im sorry but I do not know enough about the regions he is editing in to know that the data is false, as it certain doesnt appear out of place.
To assist I need specific diffs and the explantion of what he is up to. Thanks! Glen 14:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I have also put a note onto the template page, but thought you might be interested in this as you have been doing the majority of the updates;
Cheers, Regan123 21:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, MRSC, hope all is well and your contributions are flourishing as ever. It seems things have really smoothed out over the last few months and I belive I've really (and finally) raised the standard of articles for Greater Manchester.
I have two small questions however... Is it permissable to remove metions of modern counties from intros stating that it is duplicate information from the infobox? Is is also permissable to do this and replace all references to counties in favour of physical geographic frames of reference?
My apologies for contacting you once again about this issue, but I do consider you one of the most experienced and well read in this field. I think we may have a certain "Middle-British" fire bird who is attempting to circumvent/deface the conventions, and thus I want to clarify the consensus. Hope you can help. Kindest regards, Jhamez84 01:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I note that you have removed the dates from the table in Template:Infobox UK station. This can cause confusion at stations such as Oban railway station. I suggest that the dates are re-instated, however I suggest that consideration of the disclaimer is more appropriate. Stewart 18:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, just thought I would let you know that I have posted two notes about the discussion at Category Talk:Merseyside at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK subdivisions and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography so that we can try and get a consensus formally agreed and then we can move forward. I appreciate this may take longer but it will hopefully settle everything down once and for all. Cheers, Regan123 21:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I've noticed that you've made a number of edits to the Cheshire entry and associated entries dealing with Cheshire in the past. I've recently proposed setting up a specific project about Cheshire here, and I wondered if you might like to lend it your support by adding your name to the list of Interested Wikipedians? the aim of the project, as you can read, is to make as many articles as possible about Cheshire into Featured Articles. Best wishes, David. DDS talk 13:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
An image you uploaded, Image:Londoncountycouncil.jpg, was tagged with the {{ coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{ seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 14:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
{{seal}} seems to be appropriate: there is a bot going around deleting the now deprecated {{coatofarms}}, but unfortunately not replacing it with anything else. A second bot then tags them as having no licensing information, so you can expect to come across this again. Lozleader 00:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Well done on your addition of geographical co-ordinates. However, in a couple of places I've reduced them to four decimal places. That's all you need for practical purposes! Best wishes.-- Londoneye 12:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I was just trying a bold attempt at updating this template so as to include low exits. Could you update the syntax as i am not sure what to put...? Look at the history to see what changes i have made. Much appreciated. Simply south 19:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi MRSC, happy new year (although it is somewhat late!), I hope all is well.
I've left some comments at the UK geo project, (specifically here) talk page. It's not about counties (!) so please don't fret!
It relates to the how some articles about settlements are maturing, but I think the guidelines are not keeping up, and thus I've made a proposal to update/upgrade them somewhat. I'd welcome your feedback, as well as others. Hope you can help, Jhamez84 19:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Do you think the PVR would be needed in the template? -- sonicKAI 22:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
