Monmouth Troy railway station

Hi, I note that you've just removed an image from this article, on the grounds that it wasn't Monmouth Troy. Can you please explain further? Where is it, and how can we tell? Does the image description at Commons also need fixing?

Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 22:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS - impressive created articles list! I live alongside Severn Tunnel Junction and next year we're organising a steampunk festival in Chepstow, so these are very interesting articles to me. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but as you can see I am meant to be banned. As for the image, I can explain several reasons why the image is definitely not Monmouth Troy. Firstly, there are several images of the station on the internet at a website called urban75, these photos show a station very different to the photo here, the station architecture is very different, only one platform had a main building, the other had a modest shelter, the station tea rooms (which were situated next to the main building) are not in the photo and the goods yard is in the wrong place. The location of the photo also doesn't seem to fit, on one side of the station the tracks entered a tunnel (towards Pontypool) and on the other side the tracks split, one branch going east to Ross-on-Wye across a iron viaduct (image) and the other going south to Chepstow across a large stone viaduct (image). I have a description of the station in a book I have, by B. M. Handley and R. Dingwall, The Wye Valley Railway and the Coleford Branch, published in 1982, ISBN 0-85361-530-6; it also has several old photos of the station. I would have followed up with a nomination for the deletion of the picture on the Commons but again, as I am not really supposed to be on Wikipedia and don't have time to do it. However, it seems that the picture has already been nominated for deletion anyway, see here. WVRMad•Talk•Guestbook 17:33, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Things are getting complicated so I'll explain what is going on: the picture was nominated for deletion because it had been flipped in the wrong direction. (Here.) Another image pointing in the correct direction was created. (Here.) Conversation over what should be done with the new image (as it is not Monmouth Troy) is at the original image's talk page.

Christmas mottos and a note to self to spell determined correctly next time when acting like a bot

WikiProject Dacia

Hi! From your edits, it looks like you might be interested in ancient Dacia. Would you like to join the WikiProject Dacia? It is a project aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to these topics. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Your input is welcomed! Thanks and best regards!

Thank you for inviting me to join WikiProject Dacia but I'm afraid I don't really know much about it, I'm can't remember editing anything in particular about Dacia, maybe the odd stub but I'm afraid I wouldn't really be able to help. Thank you for the invitation though, WVRMad•Talk•Guestbook 17:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem! Thanks for getting back. But any help can be useful, including copy editing, neutral reviews, quality assessments. Thanks and best regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 17:14, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Taff Vale template

A good set of changes but I have presumed to alter two small things. The closed and date label at Abercynon station and the length of the Tower Colliery/ Taff Vale colliers label were adding width to the template. I've removed the closure date from Abercynon North (it was the only closed station on the template so marked, and the date is in the station's own article). Further, I spread the Tower Colliery/ Taff Vale label over two lines. This has cut down the width. Hope you don't mind the changes too much. Britmax (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the changes are fine with me. The only area where I'm not sure is around Cardiff, the Template:South Wales Railway RDT, Template:Ebbw Valley Line RDT, Template:Cardiff Lines, Template:Rhymney Railway, Template:Cardiff Railway and Template:Valleys & Cardiff Local Routes all seem to contradict each other. I don't know whether you can help but it all seems a bit of a mess. I've been working through the big Welsh railway maps, (Template:South Wales Railway, Template:Taff Vale Railway, Template:Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway, Template:Brecon and Merthyr Railway and Template:Newport and Pontypool Railway, with Template:Rhymney Railway, Template:Llantrisant & Taff Vale Junction Railway and Llanelly Railway being next on my list. So if you could give me hand getting a standard map for Cardiff it would be a great help. Thanks, WVRMad•Talk•Guestbook 20:47, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Curves added to RDT's

Why do you add curves to RDT's in cases where although the railway and the label are on different lines there is no chance of confusing one line with another? As far as I am concerned it's a waste of time and puts curves in the railways for no good reason. Britmax (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added curves because I though it would make it clearer to read for people who were not accustomed to RDTs and working out which labels corresponded to which icons. I know you have much more experience with the diagrams and if you think it would be better no to add the curves, I won't.

Dacian Draco

Hey there! Long time, no talk. How are things? Not sure if you noticed, but we got a WP:DYK for Dacian Draco on April 7, 2011. It would be great to continue the trend and get it to WP:GOOD now! ;-) If you have time and willing, it would be great to get a neutral review on it. A great start would be checking it against the criteria for B-Class status and update the findings in the WP Dacia tag on Dacian Draco's talk page (b1 through b5 items). Alternatively, there are a few other articles under WP Dacia tasks for which we also need a review. Thanks a lot and best regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 20:27, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MOTD's State of Emergency + 1st of May's Motto

As you probably already know, we are facing some problems at MOTD. I am personally monitoring all the nominations on a daily basis and I'm finding very difficult to aprove the motto for the next day. The number of nominations has grown significantly, but even then it seems not enough. Please, if you have time, take a look at the nominations. And, if you like some of them but you think they are not good enough for being approved because of the set of links or and etcetera, please, try to improve them where it is possible. At this rate, I fear that we will see the end of the project. Thanks in advance.
I have also added a special nomination for this Sunday, 1st of May (International Workers' Day or May Day). Please, take a look at it if you can.
All the best. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 15:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mother's Day 2011 or 2012

Okay, I'm here again to bother you (again and again... sorry). Things seem to go much better at MOTD, right now. THANK YOU!!!
The reason why I'm writing you is the following: next Sunday (8th of May) is Mother's Day. I know that it is celebrated on different days around the world, but I'd love if we could (and are able to) make our "very-little" contribution in honour of all the mothers in the world. For the upcoming 8th of May (Sunday) there is already a motto in schedule, but I think that we can move the motto approved for that day to another date and to put one about mothers in place of it. Here is my nomination.
Thank you in advance and all the best! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MOTD Barnstar for helping to keep our project "alive"

The MOTD Barnstar
I award the MOTD Barnstar to WVRMad for helping to keep our project "alive" during this difficult time. Without you and your so precious help and contributions, we all probably would have seen the end of this project. A BIG THANK YOU!!! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


A brief note, please, read it carefully, especially the last part in bold: The last time we (our project) gave awards to our (its) members on last Summer, then the number of new nominations and reviews of the existing nominations has been diminishing. The end result was the "April crisis" with no mottos for about an entire week. On the contrary, I hope this award will help to maintain our level high or, at least, appropriate to its needs, the needs of our project. I think that around 10 minutes a week to "devote" to the project, when it is possible of course, should be more than enough to achieve the desired result.
Of course, I gave you this award personally, in a personal way and not in the name of the project. This is just a way to say a BIG thank you, so, refrain from returning the award to me or I would be overwhelmed by stars and banners and it is not my intention to "profit" on this, really! Please, do NOT return the award! And, there is no need to thank me, it was my pleasure.
Thanks again (I think I can speak for all the contributors to MOTD) and all the very best!!! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! My name is Belugaboy, and by now, you and I both have heard of the Motto Shop, and if not, there's a Motto Shop! It's an exclusive place where users can get their own motto to live by on the wiki. It's great, but we're really running slow, in fact, we haven't seen a customer in months. So we thought YOU, the contributors to Motto of the Day, could spread the word to your WikiFriends, heck, order yourself one, whether you have or haven't before.

Special Request at Motto Shop for today 31st of Ocotober 2011 (HaLlOwEeN)

Hi Belugaboy, Hi878, and WVRMad,
I made a strange request at Motto Shop. I would like to ask you if it is possible to have a motto at Motto Shop for today and (eventually) to deliver it to Wilhelmina Will and all editors at MotD. And...

Pjoef has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!


If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

Cwmbran area stations

Hi, I have been looking at the railway stations around Cwmbran, and have discovered that the lists on WP are not fully accurate, and this is reflected in rail templates of the area (eg Template:Newport and Pontypool Railway). Specifically I have created a redlink Cwmbran (GWR) railway station for the old station in Victoria Street, Old Cwmbran, which was on the link between Cwmbran Junction and Llantarnam Junction. There was also a station Llantarnam railway station just south of the junction, between Lower Pontnewydd railway station and Ponthir railway station. I was wondering if you are able to update any maps you have previously edited? welsh (talk) 17:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014

Today's motto...

→ Ambition is our idol, on whose wings
Great minds are carried only to extreme;
To be sublimely great, or to be nothing


Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi WVRMad,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
