User talk:Paul GaskellHottiesRegarding the Hotties info from the Old Pilks employee I can only assume he was referring to the building in the image no longer existing and so the water not being what it once was. However there is still what they call "the gusher" in action which still routes warm water into the canal to the far left of Tesco. The story goes that in the 70's a closing pet store dumped its supply of tropical fish in the warm waters and they thrived. Subsequent dredging has removed much of that stock but there are still plenty of fish in the canal sections and it is still fished, and the only water that can be fished in winter due to the warm water not freezing over. If there's something happened in the last week or two then I haven't heard of it, and it isn't reported on any of the angling websites or local community sites. Koncorde (talk) 12:45, 6 March 2011 (UTC) License tagging for File:GAREC2.gifThanks for uploading File:GAREC2.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Wiki 60 Meter Band PageChris, What is the problem that the 60 meter band page needs a 'clean -up'? Could you be more specific please. So far as I'm aware everything is up to date - unfortunately, in the case of some items, like Canada, for instance, the process is quite long-winded, so it isn't easy to be concise without omitting facts/history. The long frequency list tables were not my idea I think the format I use in the Worldwide 5 MHz/60m Allocation Chart in the 'External Links' is a far easier one to follow Paul Gaskell ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.39.13 (talk) 17:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Now that the official WRC 2015 Agenda has been published on the ITU website itself, neither RSGB or IARU can by definition be quoted as a 'Primary Source' and therefore that argument no longer applies. The complete Wiki 60 meterband page by now has been substantially 'wikified' with a long list of references. In view of both, I've removed the two Wiki statements at the start of the page as they no longer appear to apply and besides which, I would strongly suggest they deter the casual reader (which I would hazard is around 95% of readers) who reads for information, in whichever format, grammar or syntax the verification is presented - so long as it is verifiable. I would also hope that US amateurs would be more proactive in editing and keeping up to date their own information on the page. Paul G4MWO Paul Gaskell (talk) 02:28, 18 September 2012 (UTC) St. Helens Central pagesHi Redrose 64, I have repostioned the 'History' section back again following the 'Services' & 'Station Information' sections. MOST of the other entries on this line have this sequence, which makes sense from an encyclopaedic point of view that an existing functional entity needs current information first. For a so-called 'free' encyclopaedia, I find the so-called 'Wikistyle' very constricting and obfuscating ! Well done with the bridge strike entry. I used to live on the southern border of St. Helens adjacent to Eccleston Park station and used to actually catch the 2315 out of St. Helens to there very often, but was not actually travelling on it on that particular night in question. My own surmission was that it was due to the poor maintenance of the points just before the bridge (yards from the end of the platform) the left track going to the almost disused track towards the old St. Helens Junction connection, the right going to Liverpool. This had decreased to probably a once-weekly freight spur to the Hays Chemical (Sulphuric Acid) plant. As someone born and bred in St. Helens (and now 63), I just about remember the derelict front of the old, original St.Helens Central station in Corporation Street when I was in short trousers (see the 'Disused Stations' link) !

Template:Liverpool to Wigan LineHi, in Template:Liverpool to Wigan Line, please don't boldface the station names; this is not how station names are formatted in other RDTs. It also goes against the guidance given in MOS:BOLD. --Redrose64 (talk) 06:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC) Pity. Certainly makes the main subject of the line diagram easier to read at a glance. Dunno who invents all these rules, but half the time they ain't pragmatists ! Paul Gaskell (talk) 15:49, 12 August 2013 (UTC) February 2014

Stefan2 (talk) 22:13, 8 February 2014 (UTC) St. Helens Central (GCR) Railway StationHi Redrose64 and thank you for updating the references following my addition of the two recent paragraphs. I'm unable to get full editing access to the 'Notes' section, so unable at present to add the page number needed for Note 7. This should be p80. In fact the substance of these two new historical paras is taken from p80 - 83 of Tolson which has the sub-heading ' The MS & LR in St. Helens' Cheers Paul Gaskell (talk) 15:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Redrose64 - I'll try that next time. CheersPaul Gaskell (talk) 02:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC) Stan00 IMG - Before I lose my temper and say something I shouldn't following your 6 unwarranted e-mails today reference images on the page, kindly LEAVE THEM AS THEY ARE and remove those trailing boxes full of regurgitated quasi legal speak. When I used the online upload form I was given the choice of whether or not to upload to Commons. With the exception of one (which I did by accident and you didn't notice) I chose not to upload them to Commons for my own reasons. Why am I so furious about all this ? I'll tell you why - around 5th Feb I received a Wiki e-mail (purporting to come from EP111) asking for station images as the page had none. So I supplied several - only to find one was removed - yet I had gone to lengths to explain the supposed source (local history section of the local public library) and they had to go to their physical archives to cross check it but did not appear unduly concerned about its use. Quite frankly, it's enough to make me consider removing ALL the photos/images I've submitted to the page - I'm getting sick, tired and weary of being messed around ! By the way, as a youngster I used to live literally around the corner from the station. Paul Gaskell (talk) 19:52, 27 February 2014 (UTC) St. Helens, Lancashire
 A tag has been placed on File:UK OS Map of St. Helens GCR Central Station in 1908.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Province of LiverpoolJust to say, good idea adding the '(aka Northern)' bit to those church articles. A good way of keeping both the official and unofficial names - and both are mentioned in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Good call. Thank you for your additions to those articles. Happy editing! Pjposullivan (talk) 03:16, 17 May 2014 (UTC) My apologies; I've just noticed I edited this while you were in the process of making changes. I hope I didn't cause an edit conflict and make you lose stuff (I hate it when that happens!) Regards, Swanny18 (talk) 17:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC). ReferencesYou really cannot give a reference like http://www.northernrail.org/ for edits like those to Liverpool to Wigan Line and Liverpool to Manchester Lines. That is the front page for a train operator's website, on which there is nothing at all about the type of trains that are used, the number of cars that they have, whether they are diesel or electric, class 142, 150, 156, 319 or anything else. We have a policy on verifiability, and these "references" fail it completely. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC) Redrose, You state that on the front page of the Northern Rail website "there is nothing at all about the type of trains that are used, the number of cars that they have, whether they are diesel or electric, class 142, 150, 156, 319 or anything else." So please explain why it says the following on the front page of the Northern Rail website, then - NEW TIMETABLES FROM SUNDAY 17 MAY................ NEW FOUR CARRIAGE ELECTRIC TRAINS.... LIVERPOOL - WIGAN NORTH WESTERN & MANCHESTER STATIONS I also have a screenshot of this if you still do not believe me. In both cases the URL given at the top is that of Northern Rail's main webpage. The fact that most of your statement in your response above is shown to be incorrect tends to suggest that you didn't read the front webpage of the Northern rail site.--Paul Gaskell (talk) 16:09, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Haha....by your answer, you have been obviously non-plussed. Do you not believe them ? You mention the 'train classes' [yes, I said 'mostly'] - that is the only thing that you have left to complain about in this particular instance and is not really critical as far as the ordinary traveller is concerned. You are now trying to argue that this is an 'advertisement' rather than stated policy by a train operating company. Do you know better than them ? Can you furnish contrary information with multiple impeccable references ? What else do you want? A hand-written letter from Alex Hynes ?? BTW, the Wiki elements you are now showing in your so-called 'defence' are not ones that you have quoted previously - why is this? Do you really think that this negativistic attitude that you seem to project would intend to encourage anyone to contribute/update information to anything that you appear to have any dealings with ? You would do well to consider if your expressed attitude to certain railway-associated sites and their contributors is encouraging the development of other non-Wiki individual sites over the years and therefore to the detriment of Wikipedia, which I still believe is an excellent concept, but is like everything else human, open to the neagtive side of humanity.--Paul Gaskell (talk) 00:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Unnecessary piping of wikilinksIn this edit I removed your unnecessary piping of the wikilink. See WP:wikilink for how to make links. --David Biddulph (talk) 01:46, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Thank you David, but strangely I did not add any piping - it must've been there already.
