Bristol P&R
Hi Matt, I'd obviously rather not get in to an edit war but to be completely honest I'm absolutely confused on why you undid the redirect ?,

All of the content here is all at Bristol park and ride so it doesn't make sense to have 2 articles that are pretty much a duplicate of each other?

Anyway thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 14:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree it doesn't make sense to have duplicate articles, however my reasoning is that they should not be duplicates. The Bristol P&R article, which covers all the city P&Rs, should be expanded with info on the rest of them. There are articles on the Portway P&R, and I think on the Long Ashton one. The Bath Road one should have its own article too. As for your comment that it's an article about a single service number, it's an article about the facility as well as the service. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:34, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right they shouldn't but if we remove the content on the A4 article that's already on the Bristol P&R article you'll then only have a couple of lines left on the A4 article, Unless individual services are notable than most often that not service numbers are put in to one article, I guess some of it could be merged in to Bristol P&R but as it stands it isn't really notable for a standalone article. – Davey 2010 Talk 18:52, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * So it's a stub, the world will not end because of that. I'm sure the A4 one can be expanded if people desire. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:02, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well ofcourse you're more than welcome to revert but I just don't see the point of having 2 identical articles, Anyway Thanks for replying & Happy editing, – Davey 2010 Talk 22:42, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Avonmouth (BPRP) railway station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. 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.

Referencing stuff
Thanks for the ping re Reference formats on the GA review of Avonmouth railway station - I've taken a look at the article and could only see one other (minor error) which had an extra pp after page=. I have removed it. I think the error generated by having a link in work= is new and I have been removing some where I see them (working on the wp Bristol cleanup listing). If you look at item "25 External link in | =" on Help:CS1 errors it seems to be linked to meta data (I'm not sure how). I just removed the link and left the text in work=. Interestingly links to work=BBC and similar don't seem to generate this error. I have a .js tool which highlights CS1 errors in red (but I can't remember which tool it is).&mdash; Rod talk 14:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Well it's external links that cause the error, internal ones are still fine. It's all a bit annoying, as I was always of the school that references should link everything possible, given they are all read out of context. Thanks for doing the cleanup on a load of the articles I've written. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:47, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk blanked at QI
A section of Talk:QI containing a comment by you has been blanked by (GUtt01 (talk) 01:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)). I left it as is with an added notice along the lines of WP:CBLANK. This does not seem to be the way these things are done and definitely needs your permission per WP:TPO. If you think what GUtt01 did is ok we can leave it as is, otherwise feel free to revert the discussion back in. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 02:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand Bryn's reasons for returning them, but the fact of the matter is that it pertains to articles that have since been deleted. The apology I put up after that section has run its course, but if you feel there is no point keeping in these sections, let me know.GUtt01 (talk) 10:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Patchway railway station
Hi, I was wondering if Patchway railway station was on your "to do" list of local stations? I've just come across it on the Bristol cleanup list as it is totally unreferenced - as you are much more expert on local stations i wondered if you could add any?&mdash; Rod talk 08:06, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I expect I could work on Patchway in the next few weeks. I've just completed Pill, though next week's a busy week at work so not likely to have so much free time as this week! I was going to do the other Avonmouth stations next, but I'm waiting on a few new sources to arrive, so sure, Patchway it is! -mattbuck (Talk) 10:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * that's done now. Apart from a bit of proofreading, it's probably ready for GA. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:22, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Can I ask for help from your specialised knowledge/sources again? If you were able to help with any of them that would be great.&mdash; Rod talk 17:58, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * On MetroWest (Bristol) is a citation needed tag for passengers being left on stations.
 * There is an "outdated" banner on Proposed transport developments in Bristol and dead links & citation needed tags on Transport in Bristol.
 * Great Western Main Line has citation nedded tags and one whole section with no references
 * Avonmouth Light Railway has tags asking for fuller references
 * Wessex Main Line says references needed as does South Wales Main Line
 * St Philip's Marsh depot has an uncited section
 * Metrowest - might be able to help, can't remember any obvious examples of it though
 * Proposed transport developments sounds like a random umbrella article which probably has no business existing
 * GWML... may be able to help, I'll take a look.
 * I have no idea about this one - I know it existed because it was on a map, but never found any textual references to it
 * Might be able to help with SWML, but Wessex may be outside my area of expertise. I'll see.

Aborted GA review for Finchley Central tube station
Matt,

Apologies for dropping off the face of the earth during the GA review of Finchley Central tube station. I've had a massive workload on in the real world that has consumed all of my free time. When things quieten down, I will come back to the article, review any outstanding comments and renominate it. Thanks for your input.--DavidCane (talk) 09:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Stapleton Road railway station
I have PR'ed the article. Thought I'd let you know here, as it's been a while since it was put up for review. White Arabian Filly ( Neigh ) 17:29, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

station articles

 * Don't take things personally, if someone reverts you it's probably because they simply thought the previous version was better. The way wikipedia works is WP:BRD - make a Bold edit, it gets Reverted, you go to the talk page and Discuss it. Your change to Avonmouth railway station wasn't an improvement to the article as it made the routebox harder to understand. It's exactly this sort of situtation templates like rail line one to three was designed for. That said, some people do prefer to use the vanilla template, but with the different options on different lines, eg:

Terminus or Somewhere
 * Let me know if you need any help with editing station articles, I've been slowly working on improving Bristol area station articles and am always happy to help others apply the same logic. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:37, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I could do with some help with this:

The problem is when it says Great Western Railway it doesn't appear like it does when it says First Great Western:

Do you know how to get round this problem? Your help would be much appreciated.-Merlinhst7 (talk) 22:45, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll be honest, I don't know my way around s-rail-national, I tend to stick to the many rail line templates as they're fully customisable. The issue will be somewhere in the coding of the template's switch calls on the s-rail template itself, but I'm unsure where exactly. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:02, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

 * I do own it. The gauge conversions are detailed in Appendix I, between pages 596 and 629. The conversions of 1873 (Midland Junction - North Somerset Junction, 36 chains, broad gauge to mixed on 4 August; South Wales Junction - New Passage Pier, 11 miles 37 chains, broad gauge to standard on 7-9 August) are listed on p. 599 and described on p. 66. -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:42, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Heart of Wessex Line
Hi again, I don't know if the Heart of Wessex Line falls within your area of interest? If so... it has a banner saying that it needs inline citations and, as you know the sources much better than I do, whether you could add some?&mdash; Rod talk 20:37, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Rod. I'm afraid I've been really busy recently so haven't had much chance to do wikiwork. The Heart of Wessex Line I feel may be an invention of sorts, I'll ask at WT:UKRAIL. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:10, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
