Is there a possibility to create new Wikipedia articles as stated below?

I am aware that you have very deep knowledge of Lancashire Railways and wonder if you have time to create new Wikipedia articles on the following Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line and its two stations:-

LYR Hindley to Blackrod branch line

Hilton House railway station (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway)

Dicconson Lane and Aspull railway station

At the age of 79, I am finding certain tasks are now beyond me.

I see from The Frost Report: Difference between revisions you reverted my tense change. How does my change differ from the past tense used for theseand these television programmes/programs and these and these radio programmes/programs? Mcljlm (talk) 01:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The examples you have found do not comply with Wikipedia's Manual of Style either (see MOS:TVNOW). I note that they are only a small number compared with the many thousands of articles that do comply.  Dr Greg  talk  11:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Top of the Pops - Status Quo appearances

Hi there,

yesterday I edited the page mentioned abvove, changing the 87 to 106 Status Quo TOTP appearances, even quoting the BBC. On the editing page it said you removed this because my source did not state the new figure, which is, I am sorry, untrue.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03j113z If you click on "show more" it clearly states 106 appearances, as do all book, documentaries etc. about Quo. So I would be delighted if this was included in the Wiki article as it is under the point "Performers, performances and presenters" with - 106 appearances.

Cheers, Nino from Germany 2A02:8070:488:9040:35FE:76D6:502F:33A2 (talk) 17:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
