Image copyright problem with Image:Levisham Station Up platform buildings.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Levisham Station Up platform buildings.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 20:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Rail Gauge template
There are already values 'sg' and 'uksh', not to mention '4ft8.5in', '1435mm', '56.5in ' and others, so you can use any one you like. There all listed on the Template:RailGauge page itself. Gwernol 00:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I tried your alternatives - 'uksh' gives ' Error: gauge specification not known ', as does 'uksg' (in case sh was a mistype).

It was a typo, I'd intended to type uksg. That parameter was working but has since been changed. You can use any of the following to get standard gauge in imperial: ussg, nasg, usstandard, nastandard, 56.5, 56.5in or 4ft8.5in. See Template:RailGauge for th full list.


 * 'sg' works OK but it puts the metric value first (I know the UK has gone metric but for historic railways I prefer the units they were built in).

Try the parameter values above. I agree that historical railways should be shown with imperial measurements first. If the metric-first version is showing, its very easy to change it.


 * What I didn't mention before was that I was prompted to my comment by what I presume were automated edits changing a perfectly valid text gauge value in Infoboxes on pages I have contributed to to use the RailGauge template with a ussg parameter.

Which article? It probably wasn't an automated edit, it was probably me. The reason we're changing is that the old templates have been deleted, so wouldn't work. We're standardizing on the RailGauge template, as discussed on the Trains WikiProject. But again, as long as the infobox displays, what does it matter if the template parameter says "ussg", "nasg", "4ft8.5in" or even "pinkinton". Its what is shown in the article that is ultimately all that matters. Gwernol 22:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Levisham railway station
I see you've done a fair bit of work on this article, which is currently rated as start class. As far as I can see, the only thing that is holding it back from being rated as B class is the lack of inline references. If you are able to sort this I'd be happy to regrade the article. Mjroots (talk)

RE: NYMR - Phil Bustard Fan Club
No problem. I wondered if Mr Bustard had been doing some "marketing" of his own! It would be good to perhaps mention some of the founding members (Charlie Hart et al) - though I can neither name them all or find a reference. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 20:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

ITV links
Hello... thanks for asking about this. The removal should not be taken as a comment on the NYMR in any way; apologies if my edit summary wasn't clear enough. Unfortunately, there has been an ongoing issue with spammed ITV links over the past year. This link was removed because it is one of many ITV links that were added en masse by single-purpose users and IPs tracing back to ITV itself. Please feel free to ask me if you have any other questions. Cheers. --Ckatz chat spy  18:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
