Hey - I'll take a picture next time I'm there - I'm not in Aylesbury that often though, about twice a month. If you beat me to it, do retain my picture in the article alongside yours! (as it shows the opening day) Tom walker (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I rarely venture out to Aylesbury, but I have a gap in my exams tomorrow (A levels) so I might go. If I don't I'm sure your photo will be great. I was actually there on the opening day as well, but I didn't have a camera! Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I was going to put a message here saying I'd taken it. I've also taken a load more pictures of both Aylesbury stations, as well as a couple of Wolverton and several of MK Central. I'm planning a bit of a revamp of the MKC article, so you'll see that when it happens. I've edited Wolverton railway station to include a historical railways box for the Newport line. Good work on that article by the way, it's one I've longed to see but never got round to. Tom walker (talk) 21:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great- I look forward to that! There are quite a few south Bucks stations that could do with a better photo- I should try to get out and take some. Thanks also for the compliment- I bought a book called Lost Railways of the Chilterns, which is a fantastic read and also a great source of info. Cheers!

 * It's not on my watchlist ATM, my list being full of articles about tram systems and spaceflights to the point that it goes off the bottom of the page. Being an MK resident, I'm disappointed at the lack of articles or pictures about what is the second largest town/should-be city in Britain. I've already created Urban Eden and added a load of stuff to Central Milton Keynes, I've got Tall buildings in Milton Keynes and Transport in Milton Keynes coming next!!Tom walker (talk) 21:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message
Thanks for your message welcoming me to wikipedia. I do have an account but sometimes I forget to log in. You kindly said I could ask you questions on your talk page. Can I ask why, even when I am logged in, I do not have the 'move' tab above any article, whereas my friend who also has an account, does have this tab, and so he can move an article to a different title, whereas I cannot?

Long time no see!
Just to let you know, how I am getting along :). I took a few months break from editing, back I'm back for now. Done a few map images which you can see on my userpage :). Anyway, as I was loading one up, I came across a problem which I couldn't fix: Bryher,_Isles_of_Scilly - I have tried to get rid of the big, empty box in the middle yet I failed. Seeing as you are the only person I really know around here, perhaps you could give me a hand :). It would be nice for it to disappear as it would be great if you could show me how to fix such a problem.

Oh, and name change.. was 'twentythree', now 'Bohemian Arcade', Much easier to type in XD.

 * Hi! I've tried to fix things, but I've had to remove an image (the church) and reformat the population column. The white space is also gone. You can play around, if you want in order to re-add the image.
 * Nice! Why'd you pick that name?  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  18:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Excellent :)

I picked that name because I like the words in it XD. Bohemian is out of the song Bohemian Like You and Arcade is from a band called Arcade Fire.

Chiltern Railways
Hi - you just rolled back a contribution on Chiltern Railways I'd made which I think was harsh. The reason you gave, other than WP:TRIVIA (and I don't think it's trivia, certainly 70,000 English football fans don't think it's trivia, perhaps you don't like football?) is that the source was misleading. I think Associated Press are a pretty bona fide source, don't you? Anyway, how about this from the Daily Mail or this from the Times? I just thought your rollback of the comments I had carefully put together were rather harsh, and perhaps motivated more by your love of transport rather than the pursuit of fact. I was wondering whether you may reconsider it. I don't want to roll back your roll back as that would be pointless, so wanted you to give you an opportunity to rethink your harsh action. If hard work at keeping pages up to date are immediately rolled back by someone who simply doesn't like to see criticism on a subject they are fond of, then that is rather frustrating. Thank you. Tris2000 (talk) 15:52, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I reverted because the source you gave didn't say what you wrote in the text. However, those other two texts do, so feel free to re-add it with the appropriate sources, perhaps making it less dramatic (remove the "Chiltern Railways received widespread criticism and condemnation" etc). Sorry for any confusion that I caused. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  15:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for rewriting it; I was just going to do it but see you've done it already expertly. Best regards, Tris2000 (talk) 19:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Need your wisdom
Hi Ollie, I am having a problem with two of my maps, in what is best called an 'editorial conflict' :S

There is this person: Man_vyi, who does not understand the being of my images of Guernsey or of Jersey. Hours after I added them to the pages he reverted both of them (and didn't tell me about it either.. :/). His reason being was that they were not accurate enough, that it wasn't informative and that the former image here was were the islands are located in relation to the UK and this has to be in thr article.. or something..

Well, I for one disagree with his comments because I think my images ARE accurate, they show CLEAR placenames and the show exactly what the user is looking for... the island! Not the whole of the UK!!! Instead, within the infobox is a map of the whole of the British Isles with a tiny tiny bit of the channel islands shaded in, so discrectly that you can't even see the 'dark green' colour.

Anyway, after I realised this yesterday I put my original Jersey image back in the infobox and moved the UK map to a very prominant place outside of the infobox, so it is still in the article anyway. Yet, he has reverted this again and said on my talk page that the file still isn't informative enough.'

I would be fine to change the map so that it included the other Channel Islands too, but I do not understand how my image isn't as accurate as one where you can't even see where Guernsey is.

I get annoyed when other wikipedians feel it is ok to 'bin' an image that, firstly, I have spent a long time producing, and secondly, that could even be placed somewhere else in the article so that it has some practical use. But to simply revert it AND not even tell me is, well, I think it's unfair ;). It seems like this editor makes many edits to the Guernsey and Jersey maps; it's almost as if he feels like he's the moderator of them. Another, more experienced editor reverted HIS edits just after he has reverted my images, so my views are not individually expressed.

Thankyou for listening to me comments Ollie and I hope you didn't mind my rant too much :P, but this really has me annoyed!

Thanks again,  ♦ BOHEMIAN ARCADE ♦    •  Message me • My contributions  18:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Out of the points Man vyi mentioned on the image talk pages, some are true and need to be corrected: town names and the bit about titles. The other points are less important. I'm not sure as to the question of accuracy. Maps of counties, such as Buckinghamshire do not seem to be sourced in any way. Maybe it would be better to ask at WikiProject UK geography, as they will know more than me. As for the question of map preference, I can't see anything wrong with the layout of Tresco, for example, which has the island map and a map of Cornwall. However, that raises more questions since the Channel Islands aren't part of the UK... It's very confusing!
 * So I would recommend you ask the guys at the aforementioned wikiproject who will be able to help more. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful :)  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

No. 15
Just wondering if in a time you want to do the July Newsletter for WP:LT? Simply south (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Make that, just wondering if today, tomorrow or in the next few days you would like to design and update the newsletter, seeing as you have shown an interest in the past. If so, just say yes and i will give you the links on where togo and what to do. Simply south (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have a go. Cheers!  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  17:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * As a general guide, to save time, i would copy the previous edition to the new place and edit it from there. (Correction, 15, not 18). For sources of changes within related subjects in Wikipedia, see WikiProject London Transport/The Metropolitan/sources. When you get to the portal, you may want to check the history. See also here for London Transport related news, although you can also short summaries of other stories from other sources if you want to. For a general guide see my chat between me and and Unisouth. I am beginning to wonder if i should write a general guide. If you need any further help, please drop me a line. Simply south (talk) 17:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * For the DYK, check the Article updates, which should have links to the facts that were shown on the Wikipedia Main Page (they are generally on the articles' talk pages) and copy them to the Did you Know section. Otherwise, check the portal:London Transport/Did you know to see if anyone has added any new suggestions.
 * The from the editor section, comment on what has changed in the project and what you feel needs changing and also say about this edition or the newsletter generally, whatever you feel needs to be said or your opinions. I think this should focus more on you as a guest editor and the newsletter plus anything notable about the project but its up to you really as to what goes in here, this is a suggestion
 * The general section, comment on the assessment area and what has been promoted\demoted. Look at the article alerts and comment on different changes in the articles and pages related there. Maybe look at other areas of the project and comment on the changes, hence this being the general section. To help, look at previous editions (before Issue 13) and this help to clarify on what i suggest but again it is up to you.


 * I hope this helps. Simply south (talk) 20:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It does :)  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm having trouble finding some new DYK's. Can they be anything that is interesting to do with LT? Can you think of any? I've got a few I can think of :)  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  21:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see why not add some yourself. From the history of Article Alerts, There have been in the past month or so DYKs for Battersea Bridge, Vauxhall Bridge, Dollis Brook Viaduct, Dollis Valley Greenwalk, Chelsea Bridge and Albert Bridge. The talk pages of these should contain the facts (hopefully). Simply south (talk) 21:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you check the DYK's I've added? I think they're alright. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  22:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes i do. They look okay. Note: It has been argued that Hackney does not have any but actually there is a Victorial line station on its border, as well as a Northern Line station. Simply south (talk) 23:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I saw that about Hackney, but since it has two stations on its borders, I'm not counting it. Thanks. I'll be done shortly.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  23:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you want me to credit you as in the newsletter? I've put my name first, I hope that's alright! I think it's finished now. If you want help distributing it, I'll be happy to. Cheers :)  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  00:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there any comment on the portal you want to do?
 * I do like the colour added which makes a nice change. The credits i have just changed as an anonymous thing. I will leave the distributing to you if that is okay. Simply south (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not a great user of the portal- is there anything that needs mentioning? I'll start distributing at 9:00pm UTC (10pm our time). Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Newport Pagnell Line
I read this and thought it was a pretty good piece. Is it okay if i nominate the fact about the bucket at DYK? Simply south (talk) 21:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would be great! I've never had an article reach DYK before, so thanks. I got a book yesterday about all the lines in Bucks so I thought I'd write that short article. I might even have enough info now to complete Railways in Buckinghamshire. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  23:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

FYI, I've added a pic (Fomer (sic) Bradwell Halt, July 2009.JPG") to the Bradwell railway station article. I called it a "Halt" before I read the description!  It's annoying not to be able to correct a misspelt filename! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:01, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The main article could do with a better photograph. I don't know if you live nearby, but a photograph of the old trackbed, the remains of Newport Pagnell station or perhaps the site of the junction with the WCML would be great. If you can't, don't worry. Cheers.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  17:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The Bradwell station pic has the track-bed. Getting the junction with the WCML would be a lot harder as there is no convenient bridge and the undergrowth is impressive. See . --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:19, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * What do you mean by "Huggle took to be a request for deletion"? Doesn't the user decide? Anyway, the user was in fact removing something in a different language (I think, although my computer doesn't support most of the characters used), and replacing it with English. Anyway, G7 only applies if the user either requests, or blanks the page (which is removing all content from a page), which they didn't do, as they did leave some content in the page. - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Railways
Hi, not sure if you're watching my talk page or not, so I'm posting this on yours. Anyway, yes I do have a lot of rly books and maps (OS maps too); the list I have drawn up so far is just the tip of the iceberg. A general "Railways of Oxfordshire"/"... Berkshire" sounds good; but don't think I'm the right man for the job - you see I'm not really a prose man - I'm more given to lists of facts. For example, I've been going through pages for stas in Oxon, and looking for things obviously missing: Also things obviously wrong from all the above: Banbury Merton Street was down as LNER post grouping, and Winslow was down as Southern (both, of course, should have been LMS - I've fixed those). [Incidentally: I've been to railway-related quiz nights, and a stock question is "which was the only LNER station in Oxfordshire?" I'll let you ponder that, because the question is wrong, before any wrong answers are given.] Several stas seem to be in the wrong region category: my understanding is that these should accord with the post-1974 county lists in the region pages: East Midlands (Northants); South East England (Berks, Bucks, Oxon); South West England (Glos, Wilts) and West Midlands (region) (Warks) - so Aynho Park, being Northants, should be in East Midlands and not SW England. I've not begun a general clean-up yet: I'm gathering info into a spreadsheet, to see what the majority opinion is on which items should be present.
 * the infobox itself, plus its contents:
 * OS grid ref
 * orig co
 * pregroup co
 * postgroup cos
 * opening date
 * closing date (if relevant)
 * categories for
 * [region] railway station stubs (if a stub article)
 * Former [railway company] stations (if closed)
 * Railway stations served by [operator] (if open)
 * Railway stations opened in [year]
 * Railway stations closed in [year] (if relevant)
 * one of the following
 * Railway stations in [county]
 * Heritage railway stations in [county]
 * Disused railway stations in [county]
 * on the relevant talk page, the TrainsWikiProject template.

The only article I've constructed from new is Iffley Halt, but have made significant additions to both Steventon and to Wantage Road.

I'd better get User:Redrose64 up to date. It's got nothing newer than 15 July 2009 16:00 --Redrose64 (talk) 19:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got your talk page on my watchlist, but since we've moved here, shall we keep the discussion here?
 * I like lists as well, but sadly WP:MOS doesn't. Hmmm... an LNER station in Oxfordshire. Well, the great central main line was taken over by the LNER for a while, and I imagine all side arms were operated by the LNER... Banbury Merton Street? As I said, my knowledge of the grouping system is not too good! Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes - I've got the 'Add pages I edit to my watchlist' option set. Anyway, the standard answer is Finmere, which is true; but the LNER had two stations on Oxon - the other being Chalcombe Road Platform. I think the latter is usually forgotten because the village that it serves, Chacombe [note spelling variation], is in Northants. The county bdy ran (and still runs) between village and station. Chalcombe Road Platform was on the GCR branch from Woodford & Hinton to Banbury (Bridge Street, aka General) - the GWR station. Banbury Merton Street was Buckinghamshire Rly, then LNWR, then LMS. Strike the words "for a while" - the GCR was a LNER constituent. The LNER never had their own premises in Banbury, but shared with the GWR. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah- the same sort of thing existed at Leighton Buzzard, the station of that name being in Linslade which was in Bucks until 1965. Of course Leighton Buzzard has always been in Beds, but the branch diverting there was in Bucks as well as Beds. Strange situation! Also at Windsor, where the only SR line entered Bucks. That line was removed from Bucks in 1974, so most books never tell you the SR served the county. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  21:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

No, now that you ask, TBs are not neccesary - indeed IMO they are a bit arrogant unless you are a major administrator who is far too busy to reply back on the sender's own talk page, or when it is very important to record a conversation (and then it really ought be on an article talk page anyway).

In my opinion it's fairly readable- I really wanted a darker background but darker colours interfered with the headings and signatures. You can always highlight the text if you find reading it difficult :)  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  23:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Metro
Hello again, welcome.

Another issue to be addressed is, please could people indicate in the next month at the feedback page or on my talk page whether they still want to recieve issues of the metro. A lot of newsletters seem to be going to redundant pages. Simply south (talk) 20:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
