Northern Rail
editCan I ask why you removed referenced information regarding capacity of trains? With a lot of cascades expected in the short term future I added that about a month ago so that people could compare capacities between different trains and I've had positive feedback from some people since doing it. With the way you've edited it, it implies the 144s and 158s are all the same which they are not - some are 1 carriage longer than others. To me it makes no sense why you removed that referenced information and left in the non-referenced information regarding which routes trains operate on which route. 85.199.229.158 (talk) 11:56, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Lady of Mann
editRe this edit you made - the intention is good, but it has removed relevant info from the infobox. Ports of registry should all be kept, as should owner and operator info. Also, GT and GRT are not the same, both should appear in the infobox. Do you feel confident enough to fix this so that all relevant info appears in the infobox? Mjroots (talk) 09:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. As the ship has been renamed, an article move may be in order. Mjroots (talk) 10:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- For an uncontroversial move, you can be bold and move the article yourself. In this case, WP:RM would probably be a better option. Re the IoMSPCo article, it appears to be just one IP that is the problem. I'll be leaving a message once I've checked that IPs contributions. I don't think it is necessary to protect the article at the moment. Should this become a problem in the future, please request temporary semi-protection at WP:RPP. Mjroots (talk) 10:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've left the IP a note about WP:MOS and WP:MOSSHIP. I'd rather believe the problem there was a lack of knowledge about these policies than any deliberate attempt to vandalise - beginner's mistakes as it were, which are allowed. Mjroots (talk) 10:26, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- The article on Lady of Mann could really do with some structure - lede, description, history etc. I've reworked the {{Steam Packet Ships}} template to give better links to the redlinked articles. Some of these will need amendment if articles get created due to renamings whilst in IoMSPCo service. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try creating articles on all ships (it can be done, see the {{Seatruck Ships}} template). Mjroots (talk) 11:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- There's a fair bit on the net, such as Simplon Postcards, Manxlink and Clydesite. Another useful source of info is Plimsoll ship data for all vessels on Lloyd's Register in the period 1930-45. Further suggestions for sources here. Mjroots (talk) 13:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
MS Lady of Mann move
editYou moved this page, without any discussion here that I can see.
I’ve moved it back; perhaps you would care to explain why this page needs moving? Xyl 54 (talk) 00:31, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
PS: the “someone” who “keeps saying” the article should be at Lady of Mann is me, I suspect. I think I said it once, in October last year.
And as the suggestion you were given was to take it to WP:RM, maybe you should do that...Xyl 54 (talk) 00:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- I thought this might happen. The best option now is a WP:RM, and to notify WT:SHIPS so that a number of interested editors may have the chance to express their opinion. I can see the arguments on both sides, although I generally lean towards using current name for active ships. Mjroots (talk) 11:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Isle of Man Steam Packet Company
editI see you've also had a go at correcting the false info in that article. One question - whats the source for the scrapping of "Monas Queen" this year? Reason I ask is that according to this page on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/12487973@N02/3319115108/ she was broken up in 2008. I realise Flickr is hardly a valid primary source, just wondered what the truth was! Cheers Jon Olddemdike (talk) 17:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

User:L1v3rp00l
editI've given this editor warnings about the three revert rule and ownership of articles and said to raise issues at the article talk pages in future. Should the warnings not be heeded, I would suggest raising the issue at WP:ANI, and ask that User:L1v3rp00l be placed on a restriction preventing him from reverting your edits. Mjroots (talk) 06:39, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Ship articles
editJust a note to say that when creating ship articles you should add the ship the the relevant list of ship launches (and shipwrecks if applicable) - this helps to prevent an article being orphaned. Also, it is useful to create redirects from the non-prefixed title (e.g. Seatruck Power) . Finally, if you move a ship article, please remember to check the article for redirects (using the "what links here" feature in the toolbox) and retarget any existing redirects, otherwise you have a double redirect. These little chores help keep things running smoothly. Mjroots (talk) 03:20, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Honorifics in lists of politicians
editHi Coradia175. Since you've edited one or more of List of current members of the British Privy Council, British Government frontbench and Official Opposition frontbench in the last six months, I'd like to invite you to a discussion about the use of honorifics in those lists. The discussion is happening here, and I look forward to a helpful and robust discussion. DBD 21:05, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Arriva Rail North Article
editHi Coradia175
Thank you for the amendments and for coming back so quickly. I have just noticed that there has been further amendments on other pages relating to Northern Rail made that are incorrect. Here is the source page for the Department of Transport. Would it be possible for you to amend the below pages as well? If you would like I can ask if user:redrose64 would he be happy to make those amendments as per your suggestion if that is what you would prefer.
The pages with the incorrect information are:
In future operations section on the Govia page it says Govia applied and did not win the Northern Franchise tender. This decision has still not been made as no operator has been chosen yet.
On the page Arriva UK Trains under the future section there is a sentence that says Arriva have won the Northern Franchise. This is incorrect. Would it be possible to remove this sentence as the franchise has not been awarded to any operator yet.
The following pages I believe have been redirected incorrectly:
Previously both of these pages were directed to Northern Rail and now are directed to Arriva Rail North. I believe that they should be redirected to their original destination of Northern Rail for accuracy unless you disagree.
I am happy to discuss further.
Thanks

2016–17 Sheffield Wednesday
editHello, I noticed you have reverted back to your original way but to keep up with season consistency matches should not be in the "Overview" section and they should be found in the "Competitions" section in the correct competition matches are competed in. Can you please revert your change back please.
--Skyblueshaun (talk) 15:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- They have been changed to a month by month basis in the matches section. If it is all one section then it becomes more difficult to edit as the season goes on because of the increasing size of the section. It is far easier to add in the league match results in smaller sections (such as month-by-month) rather than one very large section that covers the whole season - Coradia175 (talk) 15:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

editTfW Rail article - fleet images
editHi Coradia175,
Thanks for changing the fleet table back to the "normal" layout - I'd never have been able to do that myself.
However, what's your reason for deleting all of those images...? Fair enough with the only one image of each class of unit, but with the 153 for example, why did you delete the TfW liveried one and keep the ATW liveried one...?
Then there's the future fleet section - your theory seems to be that a photo of nothing is better than a photo of a 195 to represent the Civity, a 755 to represent the Flirt and a 399 to represent the Citylink. However, it's apparently OK to keep the photo of the prototype 230 to represent the D-Train, but a photo of an actual TfW 769 to represent the Flex isn't allowed...?
I'm intrigued, and looking forward to hearing back! Anamyd (talk) 19:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
@Anamyd: I'll try and answer you as best as I can.
I've restored the TfW liveried Class 153 image, that was a mistake, so I apologise.
I deleted the images of the 195, 399 and 755 because it hasn't been confirmed what TfW Rail's units based on these platforms will actually look like. Despite the Class 195 and 196 units being based on the same platform, they aren't identical. Also, renders of TfW's DMUs show they will have gangways, which the 195s don't have. On the other hand, all Class 230 units are identical (excluding the livery), so in my opinion it makes sense to use a photo of any Class 230 unit.
I deleted the image of the 769 because it's side-on view of one of the driving cars.

editHi Coradia175,
I noticed that the Class 142 article now claims that TfW has a fourth "spare parts" 142, the one in the subject line. This is the first I've heard of this; what is your source please...?
