Trent Vale

Hello Mark999,

You have just made six edits all within five minutes to the Trent Vale line article. Why? You changed nothing. All still reads the same and looks the same. Are spaces that important? NoelWalley 22:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Bristol Parkway

Hello Mark999,

I've modified the changes you made to the Bristol Parkway Station Article, there are only two platforms, not three as you incorrectly modified it to.

Again, I have removed your changes to the Bristol Parkway railway station article. There are only two platforms (a third is proposed) - I was there yesterday. I've also removed the list of destinations for each platform, as it was both incorrect (there are only 2 platforms) and unecyclopaedic - Wikipedia is not a travel guide - and listing every possible destination station would overwhelm the article.

It should be added to the article that construction has started if you can cite a reliable, published source - there is no press release on the FGW website for example. Private emails are not normally sufficient (as other people cannot check it) - see WP:RS. I'll see if I can get up there tomorrow to check. The number of platforms in the infobox etc should not be updated until the first train calls there though. Thryduulf 23:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge

Please do not remove merge tags just because you disagree, please wait for a consensus to emerge regarding whether they should be merged or not.

Also, please sign your posts on talk pages and have a read of the Manual of Style regarding introductions. The style of Wikipedia is for a full introductorary paragraph before the section heading. Thryduulf 22:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

First Bristol

I'm not entirely sure what you are proposing. A page is either a redirect or an article, it cannot be both (the software doesn't allow it).

What I would suggest is merge the following sections into a new "Buses" sub-section of "Public transport" section of Transport in Bristol:

• Today
• Rail links (but compress the section to a single paragraph)
• Park and ride (again, just a single paragraph)
• Bristol Bus station (first sentence only)
• Other First services in Bristol

I'd also merge the stuff relevant to FirstGroup to that article then redirect First Bristol to Transport in Bristol. If the Public transport section of the latter article starts to become to big at a later date, it can be split into a Public transport in Bristol article. Thryduulf 21:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

re email. If you have your email enabled in your preferences, you can use the "E-mail this user" facility in the side bar from my user or user talk page to send me an email. I am having email difficulties at the moment and it could well be next week before I am able to read any email you sent me. Thryduulf 21:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

There is no deadline, do it whenever you want. Thryduulf 21:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
