WP:WikiProject Brighton
Hi Kieran. WP:WikiProject Brighton was recently tagged as inactive, although, as I've been doing some Brighton-related stuff, I removed the tag. Can we try and get it going again, or do we close it down?--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 12:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * well, it's interesting that the "to do" list is essentially about the project, rather than any articles within it. I think if we consider it to be a useful tool for developing and improving relevant articles, we should build a list of things which need to be done to articles; that would be a starting point for interested parties, and it would show whoever is concerned about the project being inactive, that the project members are actually active in those articles.
 * I'm certainly prepared to help with the articles we identify. I can't think of any offhand but I'll look through the "our articles" bit and see if anything stands out. (Well, I say "can't think of any"... there's always the thorny issue of the ampersand in Brighton and Hove - but I seem to always be in a minority about that one (I believe there should not be one in the article title) so I've left it alone recently.) – Kieran T ('talk ') 12:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you (Vauxhall Cavalier)
Thanks for tidying up the picture I uploaded. I don't like leaving things half done, but had to go out to collect one of the kids halfway through that one, and when I came back to it you'd already done what I had intended to do! Regards Charles01 18:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Real life, eh? ;-) It's great to see the various photos you've added recently &mdash; it seems very odd that we have so many once-common vehicles without illustrations. I hope we'll see more from you! – Kieran T  ('talk ') 18:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Good to see some of them useful / appreciated, especially after yesterday splashing out indelicate quantities of pocket money on a better scanner (for the old 35 mm slides accumulated during my eccentrically focused adolescence) than the one I started with.  I guess buying the cheapest one I could find back in the summer may have been a mistake.  I think the shortage of illustrations, once the cars themselves have mostly rusted away, is at least partly down to the sensitivity of the copyright issues.  I don't pretend to be a copyright expert, but having taken the picture oneself seems to be a relatively reliable 'solution' to the concerns of those who are / do.   I hope.

 * Yeah. I bought myself a nice scanner a few months ago, too. I justified it as an "investment" since I'm planning to preserve all the old "family albums" &mdash; including a bunch of 35mm slides which are literally rotting away. I know I'll be coming across a similar... collection ...to the one you've got! – Kieran T ('talk ') 20:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * and I'm flattered by your comments about my picture of the second generation Cavalier. Though I confess I agree your judgement on this one:  I hadn't taken in that the grainy shot was yours.   AND I'm glad someone is watching out for my rogue apostrophes.   My wife, who is Dutch and therefore knows the rules, is always telling me off about 'it's' and 'its' and in principal I know the rules perfectly well.   And yet....

LDV Accounts
Kierant I have the Company accounts for LDV (which were downloaded off the Companies House website) and is considered public domain. How do I upload the file which will verify the figures? I've uploaded it but not sure how to link it to the LDV article.

 * Hi, the normal thing to do is put it in as a reference. The syntax for the quick way of doing it is shown on the line below. (There are others but this is simplest.)
 * This represents the text you're providing the reference for.
