Making it easier to add references
You might like to note the shortcut I used at Milton Keynes Central to unify the same reference you added in multiple places. It is especially useful for references/citations that will need to be updated - it only needs to be done once. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

I will - have used it in the dim & distant past, but forgot the syntax for it.Gim67gb (talk) 16:27, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Romiley railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Marsh. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Dent railway station, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:34, 24 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Please go back through your large number of recent edits and correct "Traveler" to "Traveller", the British spelling. Thanks. Please also note:
 * "&" should not be used in sentences, as you did in Ulverston railway station - spell out "and"
 * "isn't" and similar short forms are not used in encyclopedia text, as you did in Arnside railway station
 * Section headings don't use capital letters except for the initial letter (other than for proper nouns) and don't use ampersands - as you did in Dalton railway station.
 * While everyone is welcome to edit the encyclopedia, there are rules which you should follow, including using correct spelling. Please also remember to cite sources for all information you add to the encyclopedia - your personal knowledge of the stations is not a sufficient source. Thanks.

I'll remove the US dictionary that's been installed since the latest Chrome update - it has kept 'correcting' UK spellings and is frankly a pain! Gim67gb (talk) 12:11, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
