changes - don't forget - sometimes anon IPs remove vandalism. ;-) Wongm (talk)

I'll fully hold my hands up to getting that wrong - I over clicked using huggle, and in the attempt to undo what I'd done I managed to crash the programme & my browser, by the time I'd got back to where I was, I couldn't find it! --RedHillian | Talk 00:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter (October 2010)

The WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter! Issue 1 - July, 2010 Hello and welcome to this, the first ever edition of the WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter! If you haven't been over to the WikiProject page lately then you're missing out - the whole thing has undergone a complete makeover - see below for more info! On top of this, we have brand spanking new templates (such as this one) and a completely revamped Collaboration of the Month - again, see below for more info on all of this. Finally, a warning - the new-look WikiProject is still having the finishing touches put on it. If you find something that doesn't work, you don't agree with or is just plain missing, please don't hesitate to let us know on the WikiProject's talk page. We'll try our very best to fix ASAP! New Look As mentioned above, the WikiProject has recently undergone a spring-clean and we're excited about it! If you don't mind - we'd like to take this opportunity to explain some of the features and generally show off about it a little. Colour scheme All pages on the WikiProject now use two consistent shades of blue as part of the new streamlined interface (Those techies amongst us may wish to know that the precise names of the colours we use are: "lightblue" for headings and "#c0e0e0" for backgrounds). Navigation Menu Every page on the WikiProject now has the official WikiProject navigation menu so you can easily flick between pages and get back to the main project page. Say goodbye to clicking the back button several times! To Do list/Open Tasks If you're stuck on what to do to help us then a list of the most important tasks is now available on the main page. At the moment, the list is looking a little short so if you have found something that you think ought to be added, then feel free to edit the list and let us know. Please refrain from linking to a specific article that generally needs an overall update. Single articles like this should be nominated for a future Collaboration of The Month - see below. Templates All of the project's templates are now arranged in one handy page. Whilst we were going through we also noticed one was missing. We have now added the new template in the form of: {{WPStagecraftWelcome}} - a welcome tag to be placed on the talk page of a new user. {{WPStagecraft Newsletter}} - the template containing the latest edition of the WikiProject Newsletter (you're looking at it now!) Collaboration of the Month Ok, so this isn't exactly a new feature. It's always been there but has never really been updated on a, ahem, monthly basis. The Collaboration of the Month (COTM) is now in template form to enable it to be streamlined across the Project, without having to be manually updated on each page. Don't worry if we've lost you at this point - the point is, it works! You can now nominate an article for COTM on the COTM page. The more sharp-eyed amongst you may well have noticed that the COTM at the moment is still that old fella, Stage lighting. That's because no-one has nominated a COTM for this month (being a new feature an' all...) so we've decided to leave it as it is for this month until a new one has been democratically voted for. And finally... Thanks very much for reading down this far - hopefully future newsletters won't be this long! Please, if you can, invite new members and drop us a line over at the talk page to let us know what you think of the new look/newsletter and any suggestions you may have. You have received this newsletter because your name is on the list of Participants on the WikiProject page. If (like most of the old WikiProject) this information is out of date and you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the Participants list and also click here to stop receiving the newsletter.

If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let us know on the talk page.

Your explanation was excellent, but I wikified Deposit (politics) as I'm concerned about every MP candidate affected having to repeat that explanation which imo isn't necessary except for those (who shall remain nameless) who are from a different country and political system. ;-) That's what hyperlinks are for. You could also add a footnote referencing the Guardian report which explained it. 75.59.204.135 (talk) 21:05, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't plan to change any other articles, but if you check the history for that article, someone decided that it needed clarification, so I added it. --RedHillian | Talk 00:50, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you mark this as unhelpful and mark it as resolved? Ryan Vesey 19:27, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, considering your summary, I would find it resolved for the most part, but not unhelpful. Consider, this. I have no reason to believe it is PD, but it wouldn't be impossible to find an image like those that the person stated, so I'd say his comment was helpful. Ryan Vesey 19:33, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That view looks very familiar - I think that picture was actually taken in the Greenwich foot tunnel, near the repaired / reinforced section mentioned in that article rather than in the Tower Subway. The Tower Subway contains water mains & communication cables, none of which are visible which also suggests to me it's not actually the location mentioned in the accompanying blogpost. I'd concede that it's not impossible that at some point a suitably illustrative and license-free image will appear of the tunnel interior as it is today (although , but I strongly suspect that if there were an image contemporary with the construction, it would be far more widely seen in the various articles online. The other part of the feedback requests an image that is already in the article. I didn't feel this was helpful, but if maintaining a 100% approval rating on a suggestion is that important I can remove my "unhelpful" flag. --RedHillian | Talk 00:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, what? Well, thanks but seeing how I live over 250 miles from there... --RedHillian | Talk 14:28, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Maelstrom (live role playing game) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails GNG, is the product of a company that fails GNG and CORP.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —me_and 14:05, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks RedHillian (Talk:Oldham King Street Metrolink station). Any chance you could do one of the new Salford Crescent station too? Crookesmoor (talk) 08:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into doing that, see when I've got a spare day to pop down there as well. --RedHillian | Talk 18:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
