Are you British or American?
I see that you originally started the car float article. in Talk:Greater Victoria, British Columbia User:Skookum1 questions the origen of the term "car float" and proposes rail barge which redirects guess where. Peter Horn User talk 22:21, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

 * In order to poke your memory, I left this note :Hello Chris, I used the "History" feature, 5th item down at top left of the car float article ([History]) and then clicked on "earliest" to get to the the beginning and thus found "(cur | prev) 2005-05-20T18:25:37 Chris j wood (talk | contribs) (353 bytes) (new)".

Proposed deletion of University of East London Docklands Campus


The article University of East London Docklands Campus has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable - part of a larger institution and duplicates much of the information at University of East London. WP:Outcomes would suggest deletion if this were a department rather than a campus.

Railways in Germany task force
Chris, I don't known if you're interested but there is a WikiProject Trains/Rail transport in Germany task force that you might wish to join. There is no commitment other than taking an interest in German (and Austrian/Swiss) railways. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Reading, Berkshire
Sorry for the late reply, I've been away. Unfortunately, I'm also going to be rather busy in the forseeable. As well as this, I'm slightly losing my confidence in my ability to judge without being able to put the time in. It would be my inclination, however, that the lead as it is now is structually right, but has a level of detail more appropriate for a shorter article rather than a GA. For example, Birmingham has an article length about 50% bigger, but a lead twice the size. The lead just feels a bit 'exposed'. As I say, I'm unfortunately not in a position to take the article further myself at the moment, but GA reviews are by themselves without prejudice: there is nothing preventing the same process happening again (there is a suggested cooling-off period, but that is almost over, I think, and more importantly it is mostly to prevent excessive nominiating/gaming the system, which this would clearly not be). I hope it goes well, Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Image update
Hi! I've been replacing an older image of mine with an updated one on various wiki's, IE:- File:Huddersfield Railway Station.jpg, following some redevelopment work to St Georges Square at the station entrance. I noted a wikicommons link showing that you have a copy of it on your User:Chris j wood/pictures page, so I thought you may like a link to the replacement image:- File:Huddersfield Railway Station (RLH).jpg. :) Richard Harvey (talk) 09:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Claverton Pumping Station
Many years ago you started the article on Claverton Pumping Station. I've recently expanded this (after visiting and talking to the volunteers) and I'm hoping to get it to GA. Would you be kind enough to take a look?&mdash; Rod talk 20:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

GA
Hi Chris, As one of the major editors on the Reading,_Berkshire that I'm looking at for GA. I wanted to invite you to  pop by the GA review page so we can make sure that the review isn't asking for anything unreasonable.... just because the 'on hold' week is sliping by...
