You made a recent edit to the South Gare page and removed a reference to a document that is no longer available on the web.
The citation of a document is still a citation regardless of whether the web link to it works or not. If you want to read this document then you can contact me and I can provide it. In fact I can provide copies of most of the references I have ever used.

@Stuffed cat: Hello. Point 1 - The citation was coming up in error on the Wikiproject Yorkshire page. Point 2 - There are two other citations that cover it. Point 3 - if you have said document, I hope you have changed the section back and amended the ref to stat that it is not online anymore. Point 4 - why did you not do this in the first place? Point 5 - please do not leave messages for me if you cannot be civil in the first instance and reply to me when I leave you messages on your talk page. You have not stated anything towards politeness and civility which is a core tenet of being on Wikipedia. Kind regards. 21:44, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
@Keith D: Thanks for picking up the errant ref, I have corrected it; you must be a ninja! As regards DYK; yes - I was thinking about that too. I assume you mean the bit about the tanks being loaded by fag light? As ever, thanks Keith. The joy of all things (talk) 18:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 12,850 last month to 12,996 on 30 October). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 132 is ahead of WP:GM who have 85. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 61 out of a total number of 3,719 articles.
Currently we have forty one Yorkshire featured articles:
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The November 2016 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for taking this on. I feel rather socially inept to deal with this sort of thing. If you want to notify someone, but don't want to make it so obvious, you can hide with a wp:pipe do a tiny character such as a period "." Such as Let's discuss this[[user:Jim1138|.]] which becomes Let's discuss this. It's hard to see, but you can notice the link if you roll over the period. It might help avoid confusion, though it might bring charges of wp:canvassing! Thanks again! Jim1138 (talk) 05:04, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
