Tube line renaming

Can you stop this please? You're doing it in such a haphazard way that you're breaking lots of links. --Mr Thant 10:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, someone has to do it! I'm showing the way with the main article text, others will update the links. Best, Sunil060902 11:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Doing it while breaking everything (the foreign language links especially) is no help to anyone. Please be more careful. --Mr Thant 11:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I could do my Michael Winner Esure impression, but please provide a list of broken links (save for the Foreign ones) and I'll gladly re-instate them. Note that I haven't been through all the main LUL line articles yet. Best, Sunil060902 11:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Once again, can I ask you to stop this. It's against official Wikipedia policy and will be reversed when I get the time. --Mr Thant 12:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know: there are no longer any broken links. Look at my reply to Iridescent below. So out of interest, will you be renaming c2c to "C2C"? Sunil060902 13:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Renaming

There is a discussion regarding your unilateral bulk-renaming here - obviously, your input would be welcomed.

You forgot to sign off! regards, Sunil060902 09:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I intentionally didn't as I'm notifying you on behalf of the project and not in my personal capacity, so don't "own" the comment - see WP:OWN#Do not sign what you do not own if you really care — iridescent 17:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

"On the other hand, when adding comments, questions, or votes to talk pages, it is good to "own" your text, so the best practice is to sign it by suffixing your entry with [four tildas]"—no spaces, no brackets, no quotes, nothing—just the four tildes anywhere in 'wikitext' will work."

Depeche Mode

Hi. I noticed your edit here. Wiki style does indeed require the use of periods in the abbreviation "U.S.", and "skeptical" is the U.S. English version of "sceptical". Per WP:ENGVAR, in an article about a British band we use British spelling. Hope that makes sense. --John (talk) 18:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there - the 100m record sales are made up of the 75m albums+ (EMI quoted) and the 25m+ singles (Reuters/Billboard quote) - hope that's clearKalied04 (talk) 17:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Depeche mode is not rock band but is syth rock band! Please realise that fact. Listen there music and you will see. listen to the album Songs Of Faith And Devotion.

Stratford DLR (again?)

It is located here.

Now that both platforms of the new DLR station are open I presume the new footbridge must be open to. Unisouth (talk) 16:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I said it isn't in place. Well, I only passed through this morning, and I didn't see it! But I will check again tonight just to make sure! Sunil060902 (talk) 16:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, just to point in your diagram, the north face of the "Central line" is actually One "Great Eastern"! Sunil060902 (talk) 16:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes that's great, if you didn't tell me I wouldn't know it was at night. I do not want to be a pain but perhapps one of the whole footbridge? We could then put that on the Stratford station article and ultimately have the image as the portals selected image! Unisouth (talk) 08:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes that is what I was looking for! Thank you. Unisouth (talk) 08:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

St Pancras Domestic?

Hi Sunil.

On my talk page you wrote:

St Pancras International in all probability refers to the whole station, domestic and Eurostar.

and added a gallery of pictures showing the use of that name on the Thameslink platforms.

I don't think it is as clear cut as you think. From their website [1] and the presense of those signs it looks to me like London & Continental properties (who run the station) agree with you, and apply the International suffix to the whole station. But if you then look at the NationalRail website (run by ATOC who speak for the UK's passenger operators as a whole), it seems that they think the International suffix applies only to the Eurostar portion of the station, and they apply a Domestic suffix to the rest. See [2] and [3].

Perhaps we need a naming section to explain this. -- Chris j wood (talk) 11:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I've now contacted both National Rail Enquiries and London & Continental, and asked them to explain the confusion. If I get anything useful back, I'll try and work it into the article. Until then I'll leave the article as is. -- Chris j wood (talk) 11:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

East Midlands trains conductors seem to refer to it as London St Pancras International when doing their announcements Talltim (talk) 19:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Your images...

Hi Sunil,

Would you be interested in poccilby letting me use some of your images on a GFDL MediaWiki wiki at http://train.spottingworld.com? We are trying to increase coverage of London Transport over there, and some of your images are just what we need!

Thanks,

UK and full stops and all that...

Yes, thank you for pointing me to the WP:MOS. Perhaps you should be telling the relevant wikiproject so their articles comply with the policy. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes I can see that. Several recent WP:FLCs on such discographies have included discussion over U.S. or US. You'd be as well to take it to the project to let them know. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Good work here.... BUT....

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Depeche Mode discography, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.

When doing major page overhauls, it may also benefit you to use the sandbox. - eo (talk) 16:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry! Yes, I know, though I often forget to preview! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey, good work and congrats on the FL; it became an FL before I could register my support :). Thanks for showing me the light about US and U.S. It came as a surprise, "U.S." made more sense to me because I thought "US" could be mistaken as a capitalisation of the word "us".

SR Designators

I have emailed the Southern Electric Group about this and been informed that the correct way of writing SR designations is <number><space><upper case letter><lower vase letter><lower case letter>, with the exception of EPB which should be all uppercase. Hammersfan 02/03/08, 21.37 GMT

Interesting! It wasn't like that 20 years ago! I got the "Motive Power Recognition 3: EMUs" (dating from c.1985) and a couple of mid- to late-80s Ian Allan "ABCs" right here! Would be unusual for acronyms to be written in smaller case? Even more so given that EPB is just another acronym? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 23:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

This info is from the Chairman of the SEG, who are (although they say so themselves!) "the leading organisation for devotees of the UK “Southern Electric” system and is an authoritative source of information on the “Southern Electric” dc network". So I reckon they should know what they're talking about. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 09.20 GMT

While it may crave concistency, it prizes accuracy more highly, and to have all of them in capitals would be inaccurate. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 13.07 GMT

Well, what I'll say is do what I've done and ask them directly. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 14.10 GMT

Fairlop Loop

Hi, I think it reads really well. It is filled with information people want to know. However, the opening paragraph might cause confusion as the line is still in use. It could do with some more references and perhaps and external link to an interesting site about the old railway companies and to TfLs website. All in all a very good article! Unisouth (talk) 13:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Heathrow T5 station

I can honestly say I didn't see any signs prohibiting photography. I can't understand why they'd want to prohibit all photography and it isn't really feasible to do so anyway. The amount of tourists passing through the station who'll be taking photos as part of the holidays will be enormous and with most mobile phones having cameras, such a restriction is going to be impossible to uphold unless they confiscate everyone's cameras.

It is probably really only flash photography that they're concerned about, as is the case on the LU network where using a flash can obviously distract drivers. Security concerns aren't really an issue, as I've noted, there will be numerous images find their way into the public domain regardless of any rule and if anyone starts taking any closeup shots of anything sensitive then they can be prosecuted under the Terrorism Act anyway.

As I said in my edit summary, a couple of police officers saw what I was doing, as did station staff, neither said anything but I didn't starting asking permission admittedly so don't know what their official line would be even if they might turn a blind eye occasionally.

PS. Please add images to appropriate categories on Commons.

Arsenal F.C.

Hello. Just to let you know, I reversed your move of the Arsenal article, partly because it's a featured article, and partly because you made it the only article about a UK soccer club to have "FC" rather than "F.C." in the title. Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 13:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I have no strong feelings about the F.C. thing - perhaps a mild preference for "F.C." - but I think a change of the scope you suggest should be discussed quite widely. Several of the F.C. articles are featured articles, and they were all accepted as featured with "F.C." in the title, from which it appears a consensus is already established. You quote the manual of style: later on it says, "In all of these matters, maintain consistency within an article" - and here we appear to have consistency over 1,211 articles. Is your suggestion "a solution in search of a problem"? Regards, RobertG ♬ talk 16:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

<shrugs> - if you think the de facto consensus (as seems likely from looking at Category:English football clubs) should be questioned, I suggest you take it up with the relevant projects. Wikipedia:WikiProject Football might be a good place to start, perhaps? Or start with Talk:Arsenal F.C. since that's the article you moved (I left a comment there when I reversed your move). It seems to me to be likely that this subject has come up somewhere before, and perhaps someone will be able to show you a previous discussion? And yes, the article would still be featured even if it were moved: my point was that it was accepted by the community as a featured article with the F.C. in place. Good luck! Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 16:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I essentially repeated the note above on Talk:Arsenal FC. (Look ma, no full stops LOL!) best, Sunil060902 (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Essex Road

Hi there. Some of the T&W Metro stations are deep level tube construction. Haymarket and Central Station have twin tube tunnels, although the latter is underneath the National Rail station Newcastle Central (althogh physically separate from it). Monument has two sets of twin tube tunnels, one on the north-south line and one on the east-west line. At Gateshead and St James, the running lines are twin tube tunnels but the station platform areas are large 'box' constructions (like smaller versions of Canary Wharf tube station). At Jesmond the running lines are in twin tube tunnels immediately south of the station and in open air immediatelyy north of the station. A similar arrangemnt occurs at Manors. I believe the width of a Metrocar is 2.65m, only sightly narrower than a 313 (2.8m) - Metro trains share platforms with InterCity 125s at Sunderland station. The running tunnels will (if anything) be larger than the GNC&R tunnels, as they have room for the OHLE and an emergency side walkway. Hope that helps DrFrench (talk) 23:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

INA, motivations

Hi Sunil. With regards to the photo of "Sikh" prisoners being shot, first of all I cant verify the source in the IWM website. Moreover, you mentioned that the threat of ill-treatment may have been a strong motivation to join up, whereas all the references I read cite mostly three factors for the INA recruits. These are the devaluation of the Raj and the vulnerability around the surrender at singapore, the prospect of a more successful career, and lastly (this is more post 1942) the charisma of Bose. I know there are mentions of threat of ill-treatment, but quite consistently, I am yet to read about forcible recruitment or of joining under duress, although some of the officer corps joined to prevent possible ill-treatment of their troops. One of the reasons why I moved the image is there is a strong PoV that the INA were "traitors", and that image to me seemed to be put in to imply this view point, which really is quite a strong PoV position. I admit I myself may be seeing it in a skewed light. I have not undone the revision, but would appreciate your views and comments. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 09:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Rueben, I have given this some thought hence my delayed response, but if there is a doubt as to the source (and I assume date) of the photo I have changed the caption in INA to (hopefully) a much less POV one. I assume the photo was taken immediately after the Japanese success in Malaya/Singapore. So the unfortunate soldiers were shot simply for being "enemy" rather than "refusing to fight the enemy". Hope that's acceptable. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 09:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

British Hit Singles and Albums

It certainly is a reliable source, but I'm still not convinced on the notability of the record. I would suggest that you try to reach a consensus with a few editors on the talk page before readding it. --JD554 (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

INA, controversies

Hi Sunil, I am glad to see your post on the INA talk page. As you mentioned, controversies arise from diametrically opposed viewpoints, and NPOV would require that you describe and evaluate both. Unfortunately, atleast one other editor felt I was creating a PoV fork, I am not sure why he/she may have thought this, but I am glad you chipped in. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 21:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Station nameboards

Hi there. I appreciate your point about capitalisation on the nameboards, but I think they are meant to represent the boards you see at the entrance to stations rather than the platform roundels. Some of the newer stations have mixed-case entrance names rather than all capitals. But you'd need to speak to the person who designed/uploaded them to find out - it wasn't me. I'm sorry to say that I think the nameboards you keep removing are better than the ones you have designed = I'm afraid yours look mothing like either the roundel or entrance sign versions. DrFrench (talk) 22:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

It seems that my original decision to remove the original nameboards was vindicated (see WT:LT). Also the statement "Some of the newer stations have mixed-case entrance names rather than all capitals" is inaccurate unless you are referring to non-London Underground atations, such as London Overground, DLR and National Rail (or combinations of two or more of these). best, Sunil060902 (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Shigemi tubes

Hi there

Out of my personal curiosity, who uses these tubes? I'm a chemist and a trained NMR operator, and I've never heard of them prior to today. Are they used at all in chemistry? Or are they for proteins and stuff? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, I only just took my pictures of the tubes this morning, so need to upload them later! Anyway, Shigemis are used a lot in protein work, and also nucleic acid. It depends on the desired concentration of sample. I worked at Cambridge between 2004 and 2007 in a protein lab and never once used them, since the proteins I worked on were abundantly overexpressed, and an additional factor was that too concentrated a sample caused the protein to aggregate and precipitate. So we could make do with "normal" tubes of 500 ul of ~0.6 mM sample. During my first post-doc in central London I used them for one protein that only gave ~250 ul of ~0.3 mM sample per overexpression, so we had to use Shigemi tubes (though luckily we had a cryoprobe). In my present job in north London, we also have cryoprobes, but again samples are pretty weak, and also our titrations of RNA require a low (say 50 uM) starting protein concentration (or low RNA on the limited number of occasions we titrated in concentrated protein). And a smaller volume requires less ligand (RNA or protein) during the titration. So Shigemis are highly appropriate for most of our experiments. Hope this helps, I'm sure the pics (when uploaded) will help too! My real name appears on my profile page so feel free to enter me on PubMed. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 09:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Jim Carrey

Hello, I noticed that you have been adding {{Jim Carrey}} to his articles. WikiProject Films has repeatedly considered actor templates to be inappropriate since films can have multiple actors and these roles can range in scale. This would result in template overkill. We usually stay with director templates since they are the head honcho of the entire film, unlike the varying involvements of an actor. Actors' filmography are easily accessible on their articles, so it's considered by the community to be a better approach. I was wondering if you could remove the templates you've added. I can help if you want. If you would like to discuss this, we can do so at WT:FILM. I'll have to pull up previous discussions about actor templates. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sunil060902, I have taken photos today of Hornchurch and Upminster Bridge so soon the list will be just 3 stations to do, also I have taken more images at Upton Park, Barking and on the Overground, Gospel Oak and West Hampstead. I intend to upload these sometime over the weekend when I have time. your pictures of Northwick Park are very similar to mine, I have put them in a Northwick Park tube category in commons which I intend to link to the wiki article when I can remember how to do it properly. best, Oxyman42 (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Well done in completing the task of getting a picture of every tube station. Not going to crow too loudly as I know there are some that need improved pictures or just more however it is still an achievement. Your pictures look good to me, the adverse weather is more of a pain to the photographer than anything else. best Oxyman42 (talk) 20:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

St Pancras International

Thanks, but I'm not really interested in seeing any more "exhibits". My opinion, as I've already stated in the discussion, is that both names are valid, and that we should decide on which name is right to Wikipedia, rather than posting more and more photos as conflicting evidence.

I'd be happy with either title. I'm just glad they (L&CR) didn't rename it to "Grand Central", an awful Americanism, which was actually on the cards at one stage! Regards, JRawle (Talk) 18:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

The stations in 2007

It was announced that by National Rail and various sources that stations like Whittlesford, Finton and Woodham Ferrers would have their names changed to be more in line with their locations. Whittlesford Parkway was named so as it is actually a few miles from Whittlesford.

St Pancras is a bit more complex as the official and common names are both with or without International, i think. Simply south (talk) 20:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes thanks for that, I have responded, hope it addressed your concerns. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 19:32, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The Metropolitan Gallery and issue 20

I was wondering whether you would be interested in doing the December issue of the Metropolitan, which has to be created ASAP, or if you would want to just update the gallery once issue 20 has been created? Simply south (talk) 23:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I have a few ideas for the gallery, such as new images of South Quay, Limehouse DLR, KXSP, and Stratford International. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 14:17, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Alright. Are you going to create the issue or should I? Simply south (talk) 18:40, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Um, I'm not even on the subscriber list! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 19:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't really matter as much. DavidCane has done one in the past and he is only a reader. Actually because it is pending i will do it tonight and tell you when the gallery needs updating. If you decide you want to do one please let me know. For the past year various editions have been by guest editors, some of which have made improvements overall, for example the gallery and in the assessment area. Simply south (talk) 19:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject London Transport/The Metropolitan/Issue 20. It is now awaiting the addition of the images. I am going to do another check tomorrow. Simply south (talk) 22:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I added some images - The Stratford International platform shot was retaken today without too much shadow. so I aim to upload and replace that one tonight. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 12:24, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I have credited you. I am going to send this out now. Simply south (talk) 17:16, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I closed the deletion discussion WP:Articles for deletion/BR Class 152 because you had blanked the redirect minutes before listing the page at AfD. I have created a new RfD discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_January_18#BR_Class_152 and have copied your intial deletion rationale.

St Pancras railway station

I have just reviewed the St Pancras station article for which you are one of the top five editors. This article is currently rated as a B class article, but would, with a little work to add a few citations where I have marked, almost certainly pass a Good Article Review if nominated. I have started a discussion at Talk:St_Pancras_railway_station#Good Article - almost. --DavidCane (talk) 01:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Another issue to be addressed is, please could people indicate in the next month at the feedback page or on my talk page whether they still want to recieve issues of the metro. A lot of newsletters seem to be going to redundant pages. Simply south (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Hilton. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Platform counts

Hi Sunil; re this edit - the documentation for {{Infobox London station}} states:

The number of operational platforms.

Do include platforms only occasionally used. Do not include abandoned platforms.

so I suspect the correct value to use is |platforms=4, without any further qualification. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm...OK in that case I changed it to 4, no caveats. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 18:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Brentford Branch Line station names

I see you have just changed the names of the two stations on the line. Was I wrong in thinking when I started the article that their final names were "Trumpers Crossing Halt" sans "e" and "Brentford Town"? Unusually the template has a reference, which I think was what I consulted at the British Library.--SilasW (talk) 17:40, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

@Sunil: I was going to remark on that too. Butt 1995 has "Trumpers Crossing Halt for South Hanwell and Osterley Park", no "e"

@Silas: Brentford Town was the nearby goods station.

@both: two books to check for more info:

• Mitchell, Victor E.; Smith, Keith (2000). Branch Lines of West London. Midhurst: Middleton Press. Figures 32-47. ISBN 1 901706 50 8. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)
• Peacock, Thomas B. (1970) [1968]. Great Western London Suburban Services. Locomotion Papers (2nd ed.). Oakwood Press. pp. 19–20. LP48.

Admittedly all the photos of Trumpers Crossing that I've ever seen (in at least six different books) show "Halte". There are two well-known ones, which are very similar; only the locomotive differs. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, admittedly I was "being bold"! But I used two different books to confirm Brentford Town was the good yard, and that Trumper's was definitely "Halte" upon closure:

• London Railway Atlas by Joe Brown, Ian Allan, 2006 and 2009 editions
• London's Local Railways by Alan A Jackson, Capital Transport, 1999

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 00:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I got a job here in the University of Colorado. Moved at the end of December. It is subzero now, but I gather it can be 30-plus in summer! Yes I am a bit miffed I'll miss the opening of DLR to Stratford International, but Denver has a light-rail network at least, just an hour away by bus. And Boulder itself has a decent local bus network. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 04:25, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Bexleyheath railway station

Hi Sunil, thanks for getting back to be, and I hope you're enjoying Colorado. I'm very happy to edit the attribution, although I won't be able to do it until this evening (in about 7/8 hours). Are you happy for the attribution link to go to your WP userpage (as I believe it currently does), or would you rather I pointed it somewhere else?

I appreciate the release of the image under the attribution license (still getting my head around some aspects of the licensing requirements), I'm very time-poor and don't have the opportunity to take many images myself.

Thanks again Sunil, Darigan (talk) 10:52, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Sunil, the website is at http://www.yourthamesgateway.com, the article with your image on it is under the 'Bexley' tab.

Also, I must apologise, I totally forgot to change the attribution on the image last night as per your request - It is the first thing on my 'to do' list when I get back this evening, and I am emailing myself now.... ...emailed!

One more note, if I use any more of your images in the future (providing you are happy with how I have used the Bexley Heath Station one already), would you like me to notify you, and/or give you a link to the page the image is used on? Cheers, Darigan (talk) 10:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi again Sunil, I've just updated attribution details, and the direct link to the article is here - If you have a moment, I would really appreciate you double-checking the attribution to ensure that everything is present and correct, and that you are happy with it. And again, thanks for your responses (and the pic), Darigan (talk) 19:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Depeche Mode discography#Singles

Hi you have now twice removed the chart position for Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus 2011", insisting that the source for the chart position is "unofficial source" and therefore removing it. The UK charts are only listed to Top 75 or 100 on http://www.theofficialcharts.com/, but both the singles and albums chart list every week the Top 200 positions. The complete Top 200 Chart can only be obtained via http://www.ukchartsplus.co.uk/ through purchasing the weekly issues (subscription: £105 p.a.). Because of that Chart Log UK (http://zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_00.HTM) is the only way to obtain this information free of charge, therefore these pages are considered "official source" for Top 101-200 chart positions and have been accepted as a reliable source on all other wikipedia discographies. As the chart positions can't be checked from chartsplus-site without subscribing it, the Chart Log UK-page is the only reference that can be used here.

Kai81 (talk) 20:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I answered your question about "Personal Jesus 2011" UK chart pos. for the physical release over at my own Talk Page, but here it is anyways: "Personal Jesus 2011" charted at #119 if i remember correctly (have to re-check it), unfortunately it didn't make it to Top 75. It did however make the Top 40 in Germany, peaking at #36 Kai81 (talk) 21:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Harrow & Wealdstone station

Hi Sunil; are you anywhere near Harrow & Wealdstone station? Please see posting at Talk:British Rail#Photo-op. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

As luck would have it I am in the process of "doing" the Oystercard network at the moment (I thought I'd might as well after I got back from the US), with just the Piccadilly (Heathrow branch), Northern (Barnet/Mill Hill branch) and Bakerloo to Harrow & Wealdstone left to do on the Tube network (along with Feltham and Hampton on NR). So I should be checking H & W within the next week weather permitting. As the nights are drawing in, I've decided not to visit every station like I did in the 2008-2009 season, but just the termini/Oyster extremities of each line! Sunil060902 (talk) 22:14, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I am only in H&W occasionally:

Station... cross road along high street, staying on the left hand side... hoarding/'woodwork' a number of shops down with a notice about the carpark. If you're into such things, there is also a painted wall-advert a little further along.

Would you be interested in contributing to the London Wiki? (I have been trying to get the 'wanted pages' down - but there seem to be rather a lot of stations there even after I have been turning them into stubs.) Jackiespeel (talk) 15:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Results table colours

Hello Sunil. As I stated in my most recent edit summary, opinion polls usually have party colours in the cells. However, results tables do not (see Finnish parliamentary election, 2015 as an example).

Creating a POV fork

I would not advise it. There is no "Battle of Cephalonia" mentioned in Google books or other sources as I mentioned at the talkpage of the article about the massacre. In addition there is no reason to create the battle article so that you can use the infobox. Neither per WP:SUMMARY there is enough material to create a separate battle article. Creating the battle article would be disruptive. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 08:56, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

But Battle of Kos (which only lasted two days) has an article. Why would it be disruptive? There was a battle - the Nazis lost 300 troops, a landing craft (possibly two, depending on source) and at least one aircraft. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 02:12, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Because as I repeat from my post above, there is no name for that battle so any name you give it will be your POV. The battle has a name and that is the name of the current massacre and belongs in the article as the two are inextricably linked. Also per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE there is not enough material to spin-off to a new article and the parent article is not big enough to be split into satellite articles. So I repeat: Creating a POV-fork without an established name in scholarship despite the objections raised and just so as to be able to use an infobox in it, is disruptive. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 13:47, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

So what would you call the events from 13 September (initial Italian firing on the approaching landing craft) to 22 September 1943 (General Gandin's final surrender), if it wasn't a battle then? A training exercise? Beach party? Fiesta? Dinner dance? Shouting match? There was hard fighting, in which the Italians fought manfully, causing the Germans to lose dozens of men and a few vehicles. There are several references to the battle, not least the memorial to the fallen - "died in combat: 65 officers, 1250 soldiers"!

Now, my other suggestion that I mentioned at the end of last month is simply to put an infobox in the "Battle section" of the Massacre article (ie. NOT at the top right of the main intro to the article), again just dealing with the battle. Why are you so ideologically opposed to using an infobox? All other battles in the Greek theatre of WW2 have an infobox. Like Kos. Historic massacres like Glencoe also have an Infobox. Why not Kefalonia? Remember, just because you wrote the massacre article, you don't WP:OWN content on Wikipedia. And please don't accuse me of being disruptive! Have I, to date, reverted your removal of the infobox? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 14:24, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

I repeat: Creating a POV-fork, whose title does not exist, for the single purpose of adding an infobox to it is disruptive. Your misplaced and irrelevant sarcasm-fueled personal attacks and lack of AGF demonstrate the point I made earlier: That you are not getting my well-supported comments. Also don't keep asking me the same questions. I replied at the article talkpage as to why the infobox cannot go to the small battle paragraph. I invite you to read it. It is still there. Also pointing out your disruption and refusal to get the point has nothing to do with OWN and everything to do with your not getting the point. It is high time you did.

Question regarding names of politicians

Hello Sunil060902 ,

I noticed you're active in British related topics. Can you help me out here? I would like to know the names of three gentlemen who are found in a picture in this link: [4]. The picture is the one with the caption: "Opening of the Governing Council meeting Isola di San Lazzaro degli Armeni..." Now I believe one of them is Prince Charles Philippe, Duke of Anjou, the other is, as I assume, Charles Falconer, Baron Falconer of Thoroton, but the other one I don't know. Who and what is a "the Grand Master"? I'd really appreciate your help if possible. Thanks. P.S. Please ping me. Étienne Dolet (talk) 20:45, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ufton Nervet rail crash into High-speed rail in the United Kingdom. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted Template:Tl template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
