Comments on WT:LT

Hi Unisouth. Ive replied to your comments at WP:LT. I just wanted to inform you that I have no intention to get into any conflicts and if you have a problem with me, I'd rather sort it out calmly now to prevent any unneccesary conflicts in the future. If it is the best way, I will happily leave WP:LT to prevent any conflicts. Kindest regards. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 16:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter distribution

{{helpme}} Is there anyway of sending my new newsletter to all WikiProject London Transport members without copy and pasting it to all talk pages? Unisouth (talk) 10:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I know a way, but a) as i've quit, and b) it's becuase of this then maybe not.

But, if you'll consider a redesign before it gets hard and fast (and I get input), then i'll happliy return.

There are a few problems with the current layout/design etc. that make it not too user friendly. Theres also a better way of delivering/displaying it.

Thanks,

Bluegoblin7 11:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Since you have "quit" I'll have to ask someone else. Unisouth (talk) 13:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you can ask for a bot operator to do it at WP:BOTREQ. SQL^{Query me!} 15:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, can i redesign it then? I'll return... I'm also about to enquire about delivery, but for us to use it, we have to have 10 users who actually want it, and are not having it "forced" upon them, as is the case from February.

Thanks,

Bluegoblin7 11:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I've replied on my talk page. Oh and i'm back. Bluegoblin7 20:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

My images deleted

{{helpme}} Hi could you please remove all my images (found in my galley on my user page) from Wikipedia please? Unisouth (talk) 15:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

• If you want an image that you submitted to Wikipedia removed, assuming no one else has made any substantial edits to them, ad {{db-author}} to the images in question. VivioFateFan ^{(Talk, Sandbox)} 15:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The Metro...

Hello Unisouth,

I have done March's issue, in the new format, at User:Bluegoblin7/Sandbox3. please take a look and comment.

It will be uncollapsible except for delivery and archive, as it's pointless to display it as current issue any other way.

Also, colours etc can be changed. Let me know!

Thanks,

Article deletion

{{help}} One of my articles Connect2Wiltshire was deleted because it did not have enough significance. Well it does becuase it provides the only bus/share taxi services to many towns in south Wiltshire. Without it people would not be able to get to places like Mere and Stourhead. Unisouth (talk) 09:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

It may be very significant, but if it is not asserted it can be deleted. I suggest you contact Happy-melon, the deleting admin, to get it undeleted or userfied so you can assert the significance and then re make it. Tiddly-Tom 11:35, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. As Tiddly Tom says, the important issues is not importance, but notability. Wikipedia does not deny that there are many topics which are important to someone, but are nonetheless unsuitable candidates for a Wikipedia articles. Simply put, any article which is created, even if it is about a schoolboy who has made one amateur film that won a minor film award from a local magazine (which I have seen), is clearly important to the person who wrote the article (in that particular case, the guy wrote it himself, also creating a clear conflict of interest). So Wikipedia's inclusion criterion says, essentially, "You think it's important. Now show that reliable sources also think it's important". The guideline indicates that "a subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject". This evidence for notability must be cited in the article itself; as you have seen, the absence of that claim to notability (whether the subject is actually notable under this guideline or not) is a criterion for immediate deletion.

So what should you do? Well, it seems you have an excellent chance of making a valid article here, as the topic is clearly important. All you have to do is prove it: find some newspaper articles, BBC news coverage, any significant news source will do, that also says that it is the only bus/share taxi service in Wiltshire, and what a great thing that is. I have restored the article and moved it to a subpage of your userspace - you can view and edit it at User:Unisouth/Connect2Wiltshire. Once you have found some reliable source coverage of the topic, add some references. Note that the article does not have to be lengthy - we have deleted much larger articles than this for not asserting notability, and many stubs survive with only a single sentence, as long as that sentence is a claim to notability. Once you've provided some good references, you can move it back to its original title in the mainspace. If you would like me or anyone else to have a look over the draft before you move it back to mainspace, just drop me a message on my talk page, or use the {{help}} template again. Happy editing! Happy‑melon 16:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

That is more than adequate - feel free to move it back to the mainspace. Congratulations! Happy‑melon 17:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Unisouth - What's going on? Rudget. 16:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, the RFA was incorrectly placed, the answers are short and the count was changed, is your account compromised? Rudget. 16:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Apologies, I was too quick to come to that conclusion. Sorry. Rudget. 16:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA

Unless you come up with better answers to the questions, I humbly suggest you withdraw. Few would be willing to support with such bare bones answers. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 19:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with User:Nousernamesleft. Longer answers would help the voters get to know your opinions on the matters. You seem to be a very experienced user, but the answers don't reflect that. Spencer^T♦C 19:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA

I've closed your RfA early at (0/11/5), as there was simply no chance of it passing. I suggest you get more general experience at your belt; participate at WP:RFA, do some admin-related work (like WP:AFD, WP:AIV, WP:CSD), and most importantly, write some articles. Hoping to see you back at RfA in a couple of months, Maxim_(talk) 02:55, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey Unisouth. Sorry about your RfA which I just came across. To improve your chances of passing RfA next time, I would suggest you become more involved in administrative procedures such as WP:XfD and C:CSD. It would also help if you are a bit more responsive to messages left on your talk page so that you can show just how great a user you are. You may also want to tick the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" checkbox in your preferences. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any more advice. Good luck next time. Thanks. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 10:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject London Transport/DLR

Hi. Can I ask you what this new page you created is for. It doesn't really look like a resource for Wikipedia but more like advice for passengers which is not the sort of information for Wikipedia and may be deleted. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Please reply. Thanks. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 17:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. Thats fine then. But just a piece of advice that policies do apply in the Wikiproject space. Have a read of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. You really should know policy like that if you wish to become an admin. Thanks for your cooperation.

Permission to use image

Hello,

I am writing to ask for your permission to use your image of a Tramlink vehicle on a website. I maintain the Toronto LRT Information Page (http://lrt.daxack.ca) and am in the process of adding a page describing Tramlink.

The site is a non-profit site set up to promote light rail transit in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada. I had the opportunity this past Wednesday to spend a few hours making notes and photographing Tramlink and in searching for additional information to add or back up my notes, I came across your image.

Please email me at lrt@daxack.ca and let me know if I can use your image or not. Also, if I may use your image, please let me know how it should be credited (either as "Unisouth" or by another name).

Thanks, Calvin Henry-Cotnam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvinhc (talk • contribs) 16:57, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Class 357 c2c Diagram.PNG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

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 (talk) 09:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Fairlop Loop

Hi again!

I spent the last few days writing up an article on the Fairlop Loop (and spending ages working out how to do the line diagram!), and I would be grateful if you could spend a few minutes seeing if it reads well, and also if there are extra Refs or External links that I could put in that I haven't thought of yet. I think the Categories are sufficient though. Many thanks, Sunil060902 (talk) 12:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I've tinkered about with it a little more over lunch, can't put in too many more book references because Brown and Cobb are all I have! Also will put in a couple more pics at the Vicarage Lane end showing Ilford Depot as it is today, best, Sunil060902 (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
