Can you stop this please? You're doing it in such a haphazard way that you're breaking lots of links. --Mr Thant 10:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, someone has to do it! I'm showing the way with the main article text, others will update the links. Best, Sunil060902 11:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doing it while breaking everything (the foreign language links especially) is no help to anyone. Please be more careful. --Mr Thant 11:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I could do my Michael Winner Esure impression, but please provide a list of broken links (save for the Foreign ones) and I'll gladly re-instate them. Note that I haven't been through all the main LUL line articles yet. Best, Sunil060902 11:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, can I ask you to stop this. It's against official Wikipedia policy and will be reversed when I get the time. --Mr Thant 12:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know: there are no longer any broken links. Look at my reply to Iridescent below. So out of interest, will you be renaming c2c to "C2C"? Sunil060902 13:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion regarding your unilateral bulk-renaming here - obviously, your input would be welcomed.

I intentionally didn't as I'm notifying you on behalf of the project and not in my personal capacity, so don't "own" the comment - see WP:OWN#Do not sign what you do not own if you really care — iridescent 17:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"On the other hand, when adding comments, questions, or votes to talk pages, it is good to "own" your text, so the best practice is to sign it by suffixing your entry with [four tildas]"—no spaces, no brackets, no quotes, nothing—just the four tildes anywhere in 'wikitext' will work."

Hi. I noticed your edit here. Wiki style does indeed require the use of periods in the abbreviation "U.S.", and "skeptical" is the U.S. English version of "sceptical". Per WP:ENGVAR, in an article about a British band we use British spelling. Hope that makes sense. --John (talk) 18:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's great, if you didn't tell me I wouldn't know it was at night. I do not want to be a pain but perhapps one of the whole footbridge?

Hi Sunil.

On my talk page you wrote:

St Pancras International in all probability refers to the whole station, domestic and Eurostar.

and added a gallery of pictures showing the use of that name on the Thameslink platforms.

I don't think it is as clear cut as you think. From their website [1] and the presense of those signs it looks to me like London & Continental properties (who run the station) agree with you, and apply the International suffix to the whole station. But if you then look at the NationalRail website (run by ATOC who speak for the UK's passenger operators as a whole), it seems that they think the International suffix applies only to the Eurostar portion of the station, and they apply a Domestic suffix to the rest. See [2] and [3].

Perhaps we need a naming section to explain this. -- Chris j wood (talk) 11:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've now contacted both National Rail Enquiries and London & Continental, and asked them to explain the confusion. If I get anything useful back, I'll try and work it into the article. Until then I'll leave the article as is. -- Chris j wood (talk) 11:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I can see that. Several recent WP:FLCs on such discographies have included discussion over U.S. or US. You'd be as well to take it to the project to let them know. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Depeche Mode discography, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.

Hey, good work and congrats on the FL; it became an FL before I could register my support :). Thanks for showing me the light about US and U.S. It came as a surprise, "U.S." made more sense to me because I thought "US" could be mistaken as a capitalisation of the word "us".

I have emailed the Southern Electric Group about this and been informed that the correct way of writing SR designations is <number><space><upper case letter><lower vase letter><lower case letter>, with the exception of EPB which should be all uppercase. Hammersfan 02/03/08, 21.37 GMT

Interesting! It wasn't like that 20 years ago! I got the "Motive Power Recognition 3: EMUs" (dating from c.1985) and a couple of mid- to late-80s Ian Allan "ABCs" right here! Would be unusual for acronyms to be written in smaller case? Even more so given that EPB is just another acronym? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 23:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This info is from the Chairman of the SEG, who are (although they say so themselves!) "the leading organisation for devotees of the UK “Southern Electric” system and is an authoritative source of information on the “Southern Electric” dc network". So I reckon they should know what they're talking about. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 09.20 GMT

While it may crave concistency, it prizes accuracy more highly, and to have all of them in capitals would be inaccurate. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 13.07 GMT

Well, what I'll say is do what I've done and ask them directly. Hammersfan 03/03/08, 14.10 GMT

Hi, I think it reads really well. It is filled with information people want to know. However, the opening paragraph might cause confusion as the line is still in use. It could do with some more references and perhaps and external link to an interesting site about the old railway companies and to TfLs website. All in all a very good article! Unisouth (talk) 13:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can honestly say I didn't see any signs prohibiting photography. I can't understand why they'd want to prohibit all photography and it isn't really feasible to do so anyway. The amount of tourists passing through the station who'll be taking photos as part of the holidays will be enormous and with most mobile phones having cameras, such a restriction is going to be impossible to uphold unless they confiscate everyone's cameras.

It is probably really only flash photography that they're concerned about, as is the case on the LU network where using a flash can obviously distract drivers. Security concerns aren't really an issue, as I've noted, there will be numerous images find their way into the public domain regardless of any rule and if anyone starts taking any closeup shots of anything sensitive then they can be prosecuted under the Terrorism Act anyway.

As I said in my edit summary, a couple of police officers saw what I was doing, as did station staff, neither said anything but I didn't starting asking permission admittedly so don't know what their official line would be even if they might turn a blind eye occasionally.

PS. Please add images to appropriate categories on Commons.

Hello. Just to let you know, I reversed your move of the Arsenal article, partly because it's a featured article, and partly because you made it the only article about a UK soccer club to have "FC" rather than "F.C." in the title. Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 13:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. I have no strong feelings about the F.C. thing - perhaps a mild preference for "F.C." - but I think a change of the scope you suggest should be discussed quite widely. Several of the F.C. articles are featured articles, and they were all accepted as featured with "F.C." in the title, from which it appears a consensus is already established. You quote the manual of style: later on it says, "In all of these matters, maintain consistency within an article" - and here we appear to have consistency over 1,211 articles. Is your suggestion "a solution in search of a problem"? Regards, RobertG ♬ talk 16:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<shrugs> - if you think the de facto consensus (as seems likely from looking at Category:English football clubs) should be questioned, I suggest you take it up with the relevant projects. Wikipedia:WikiProject Football might be a good place to start, perhaps? Or start with Talk:Arsenal F.C. since that's the article you moved (I left a comment there when I reversed your move). It seems to me to be likely that this subject has come up somewhere before, and perhaps someone will be able to show you a previous discussion? And yes, the article would still be featured even if it were moved: my point was that it was accepted by the community as a featured article with the F.C. in place. Good luck! Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 16:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I essentially repeated the note above on Talk:Arsenal FC. (Look ma, no full stops LOL!) best, Sunil060902 (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Some of the T&W Metro stations are deep level tube construction. Haymarket and Central Station have twin tube tunnels, although the latter is underneath the National Rail station Newcastle Central (althogh physically separate from it). Monument has two sets of twin tube tunnels, one on the north-south line and one on the east-west line. At Gateshead and St James, the running lines are twin tube tunnels but the station platform areas are large 'box' constructions (like smaller versions of Canary Wharf tube station). At Jesmond the running lines are in twin tube tunnels immediately south of the station and in open air immediatelyy north of the station. A similar arrangemnt occurs at Manors. I believe the width of a Metrocar is 2.65m, only sightly narrower than a 313 (2.8m) - Metro trains share platforms with InterCity 125s at Sunderland station. The running tunnels will (if anything) be larger than the GNC&R tunnels, as they have room for the OHLE and an emergency side walkway. Hope that helps DrFrench (talk) 23:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sunil. With regards to the photo of "Sikh" prisoners being shot, first of all I cant verify the source in the IWM website. Moreover, you mentioned that the threat of ill-treatment may have been a strong motivation to join up, whereas all the references I read cite mostly three factors for the INA recruits. These are the devaluation of the Raj and the vulnerability around the surrender at singapore, the prospect of a more successful career, and lastly (this is more post 1942) the charisma of Bose. I know there are mentions of threat of ill-treatment, but quite consistently, I am yet to read about forcible recruitment or of joining under duress, although some of the officer corps joined to prevent possible ill-treatment of their troops. One of the reasons why I moved the image is there is a strong PoV that the INA were "traitors", and that image to me seemed to be put in to imply this view point, which really is quite a strong PoV position. I admit I myself may be seeing it in a skewed light. I have not undone the revision, but would appreciate your views and comments. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 09:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rueben, I have given this some thought hence my delayed response, but if there is a doubt as to the source (and I assume date) of the photo I have changed the caption in INA to (hopefully) a much less POV one. I assume the photo was taken immediately after the Japanese success in Malaya/Singapore. So the unfortunate soldiers were shot simply for being "enemy" rather than "refusing to fight the enemy". Hope that's acceptable. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 09:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly is a reliable source, but I'm still not convinced on the notability of the record. I would suggest that you try to reach a consensus with a few editors on the talk page before readding it. --JD554 (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sunil, I am glad to see your post on the INA talk page. As you mentioned, controversies arise from diametrically opposed viewpoints, and NPOV would require that you describe and evaluate both. Unfortunately, atleast one other editor felt I was creating a PoV fork, I am not sure why he/she may have thought this, but I am glad you chipped in. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 21:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I appreciate your point about capitalisation on the nameboards, but I think they are meant to represent the boards you see at the entrance to stations rather than the platform roundels. Some of the newer stations have mixed-case entrance names rather than all capitals. But you'd need to speak to the person who designed/uploaded them to find out - it wasn't me. I'm sorry to say that I think the nameboards you keep removing are better than the ones you have designed = I'm afraid yours look mothing like either the roundel or entrance sign versions. DrFrench (talk) 22:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that my original decision to remove the original nameboards was vindicated (see WT:LT). Also the statement "Some of the newer stations have mixed-case entrance names rather than all capitals" is inaccurate unless you are referring to non-London Underground atations, such as London Overground, DLR and National Rail (or combinations of two or more of these). best, Sunil060902 (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there

Out of my personal curiosity, who uses these tubes? I'm a chemist and a trained NMR operator, and I've never heard of them prior to today. Are they used at all in chemistry? Or are they for proteins and stuff? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry, I only just took my pictures of the tubes this morning, so need to upload them later! Anyway, Shigemis are used a lot in protein work, and also nucleic acid. It depends on the desired concentration of sample. I worked at Cambridge between 2004 and 2007 in a protein lab and never once used them, since the proteins I worked on were abundantly overexpressed, and an additional factor was that too concentrated a sample caused the protein to aggregate and precipitate. So we could make do with "normal" tubes of 500 ul of ~0.6 mM sample. During my first post-doc in central London I used them for one protein that only gave ~250 ul of ~0.3 mM sample per overexpression, so we had to use Shigemi tubes (though luckily we had a cryoprobe). In my present job in north London, we also have cryoprobes, but again samples are pretty weak, and also our titrations of RNA require a low (say 50 uM) starting protein concentration (or low RNA on the limited number of occasions we titrated in concentrated protein). And a smaller volume requires less ligand (RNA or protein) during the titration. So Shigemis are highly appropriate for most of our experiments. Hope this helps, I'm sure the pics (when uploaded) will help too! My real name appears on my profile page so feel free to enter me on PubMed. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 09:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you have been adding {{Jim Carrey}} to his articles. WikiProject Films has repeatedly considered actor templates to be inappropriate since films can have multiple actors and these roles can range in scale. This would result in template overkill. We usually stay with director templates since they are the head honcho of the entire film, unlike the varying involvements of an actor. Actors' filmography are easily accessible on their articles, so it's considered by the community to be a better approach. I was wondering if you could remove the templates you've added. I can help if you want. If you would like to discuss this, we can do so at WT:FILM. I'll have to pull up previous discussions about actor templates. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to upload these sometime over the weekend when I have time. your pictures of Northwick Park are very similar to mine, I have put them in a Northwick Park tube category in commons which I intend to link to the wiki article when I can remember how to do it properly. best, Oxyman42 (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done in completing the task of getting a picture of every tube station. Not going to crow too loudly as I know there are some that need improved pictures or just more however it is still an achievement. Your pictures look good to me, the adverse weather is more of a pain to the photographer than anything else. best Oxyman42 (talk) 20:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks, but I'm not really interested in seeing any more "exhibits". My opinion, as I've already stated in the discussion, is that both names are valid, and that we should decide on which name is right to Wikipedia, rather than posting more and more photos as conflicting evidence.

I'd be happy with either title. I'm just glad they (L&CR) didn't rename it to "Grand Central", an awful Americanism, which was actually on the cards at one stage! Regards, JRawle (Talk) 18:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was announced that by National Rail and various sources that stations like Whittlesford, Finton and Woodham Ferrers would have their names changed to be more in line with their locations. Whittlesford Parkway was named so as it is actually a few miles from Whittlesford.

St Pancras is a bit more complex as the official and common names are both with or without International, i think. Simply south (talk) 20:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
