about greater oslogreater oslo was once a name used for a bus company. that company operated in akershus as well as oslo. however it merged with an oslo based company. as a result it doesnt exist anymore. greater oslo was used only to describe where that company operated. that is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.75.65 (talk) 08:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Ely, CardiffHi, I see you've made a number of contributions to the Ely, Cardiff page. I was just wondering your opinion on how to handle the confusion with Ely and Caerau. On the face of it it seems quite simple - keep Ely stuff in the Ely article and Caerau stuff in the Caerau article. However, a LOT of things apply to both and there really is confusion as to what constitutes Ely and Caerau. For example, the Roman Villa is in Caerau as was Ely Racecourse. Most of the Ely history also applies to Caerau as it occurs on what is essentially the same geographic area! The Cowbridge road border is fine for modern day things, but doesn't really work with historical information. One possibility is that there could be a separate article for Ely and Caerau history. The articles for the Ely and Caerau electoral wards can then link to this article and provide snippets of information relevant to either area. The electoral ward article would still have other information such as schools, pubs, roads, famous people etc as these are easy to split up between Ely and Caerau. What do you think? Dead passive (talk) 11:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Ok, fair enough. So, the history section as it now appears now in the Ely article would mostly also appear in the Caerau article (with reference to the Roman Villa, Ely Racecourse...)? I guess this could mostly be a cut and paste job. Which famous people were born where also needs to be sorted out as I'm not sure exactly who is from where. Do you assume that everything north or Cowbridge road is Ely and everything south is Caerau (as the electoral wards show)? Some people refer to "lower Ely" but even as a local resident I'm not exactly sure what this is! Dead passive (talk) 11:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC) The WaveIf you are so uptight with my edits, then why don't you help and contribute by adding sources and solving the problem which you have !? Instead of reverting the edits and complaining, why don't you actually add some sources of your own - I am doing the work all the time and it would be nice if others could actually help. The article looks good and is constructive, but there are a few tweaks needed. Oh and by the way, the source in the Music Policy does say that the format consists of a mix of genres, so I can remove that tag you placed. Jonny7003 (talk) 20:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Ok, but I would have thought broad music - a mix of genres would have included pop, urban, rock and dance, and the station do play those styles/genres as I listen to The Wave quite a lot. Anyway, I'll try to find some more sources to back it up. Jonny7003 (talk) 20:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for decreasing the size of The Wave logo - I didn't know how to do it.

Thanks.--Pondle (talk) 17:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Recent edits to The Wave articleHello Welshleprechaun, I was wondering if you could help me out a bit here - there is a user who is currently submitting edits that consist of removing sufficient and reliable references, as well as placing details about a "merger" of "the template below", which I do not understand. This user is also adding Citation needed to the History Section, when there were already reliable sources placed in that section in the first place. Can you view The Wave 96.4 FM article and inform me as to what the user's objective is and if it's necessary please ? Thanks Jonny7003 (talk) 20:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Thanks Welshleprechaun - much appreciated. I'm still digging around, looking for more sources. Jonny7003 (talk) 14:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC) Yes - it was supposed to be a warning template, but I was all in a fluster at the time. Sorry about that. Jonny7003 (talk) 14:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC) It was quite a heated debate and it could me a tad confused at times, what with all the different edits and removal of sources etc. Jonny7003 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what your definition of South East England is, but according to the definition at South East England it would cover such places as Brighton, Portsmouth, and Southampton, to name but a few.

change in the Pedal Power additional entryHi, I am Polvs and added the paragraph about Pedal Power. I see you have changed, shortened it. Could I ask why you took out the description of what Pedal Power offers ? Just for me to understand the reasoning behind it.

However, as I read the discussion the request was to move it to Template:Major railway stations in Great Britain (that was certainly what I was voicing support for).

LlanrumneyHi - just to clear up I see that you have edited my piece and inserted that the Eastern Leisure Centre is to close in September 2012. This is incorrect. Cardiff Council's plans are to build a new school and re-furbished leisure centre, that would work as a combined facility for the community, and the date for this to open would be September 2012. I also inserted some sub-headings to break the lengthy text passage on School Reorganisation up. I have meant to work on this section for awhile and have provided numerous references to back up the entries. Bluebirds27 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluebirds27 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
What I find alarming is that you were happy to have School Re-organisation thread on the page before that was patently inaccurate "Llanrumney High school will close in 2014" Last night after two hours of my inserting greater detail than the superficial points listed and correcting the staggeringly inaccurate facts listed with reference articles you sought to edit and even stated - "Not sure if this stuff should be here." Today you have repeated that by claiming that you will look in a few days to determine whether it is appropriate! That you can argue that it may not be relevant to detail the biggest single event to happen to the life of the Llanrumney community for the last fifty years and for the next fifty years I find staggering. The local community poll was only the second ever staged in the city of Cardiff yet you will ponder whether this is relevant to contain in an Encyclopedia entry about Llanrumney. I shall be adding further detail to bring events up to date. As the Welsh Assembly Government is due to make a decision any day now. The piece was written with no bias to any side. It reports what has taken place. If you seek to censor coverage of the issue in the life of Llanrumney I would wonder as to your motives? I would also flag this issue to Wikipedia moderators as a rather bizarre attempt either to censor coverage of factual detail that is on the public record or an attempt to deny other users the legitimate right to add to the Llanrumney section. As it stands today the piece is informative and factual correct. As it stood yesterday and for the past year it was plainly incorrect. Which would you and which would Wikipedia rather see?

BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:08, 21 March 2010 (UTC) Moving TextYou have given no rationale reason for which to move the section "School Reorganisation" section from the Llanrumney to Llanrumney High School. You have stated that you live on the opposite side of the city from Llanrumney, that you have no interest in the subject yet you have sought to question the notability of text that is referenced by 11 sources - these compromise BBC - South Wales Echo and Cardiff Council!. If you fail to see the relevance of facts about the development to the Eastern Leisure Centre, parkland in Llanrumney, Llanrumney High School, Llanrumney's only ever local community poll in the Llanrumney page then I will take this matter up with Wikipedia. You clearly have an ulterior motive than that of Wikipedia which is an online Encyclopedia. I have noted comments from others that you have been quick to accuse of bias. I think there might be a page on something called psychological projection. I shall revert changes if you simply move the text, I shall raise the issue with Wikipedia and I'd be more than happy to go to the local press about why anybody would look to marginalise text that is factually correct, neutrality written and reference by reputable sources. When it involves an issue of such interest to the people of Llanrumney seeking to move it to a less accessed page smacks of something rather odd going on.

Your edit at Swansea Cork ferry had potentially much broader implications for the naming convention, so I thought it was only fair to bring it to the attention of the wider community.--Pondle (talk) 14:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC) Talkback You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Your sigHi Welshleprechaun Your new sig is very pretty, but it doesn't include any links. Per WP:SIG#Internal links, "Signatures must include at least one internal link to your user page, user talk page, or contributions page; this allows other editors easy access to your talk page and contributions log. The lack of such a link is widely viewed as obstructive." Please can you fix it? Thanks! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Welshleprechaun, I wanted to thank you for your input on the disagreement over at this article. Thanks for corroborating the policy vs. guidelines clarification, this is something that evidently I missed, along with a few other helpful tips. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 19:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
