Hi Bill, pleased to help. Quick reply (ask for more). The facts have to be from a referenced site. If you or I create an image then that is not "oroginal research" (unless it shows that hitler had seven legs!). Please to see you have an interest in the image maps. There are alternatives but I prefer that one. Hope this helps ... Victuallers (talk) 10:52, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bill your new pages/pics look great. Do remember "be bold" ... better to apologise than wait for permission. Oddly this works! If you want to make them clickable then I can give you the tools. OK? Victuallers (talk) 19:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ore railway station[edit]

I've reverted this move because I disagree with it and per WP:BRD this is normally the next step. Moves are often treated slightly differently due to the extra difficulties involved but in this instance I feel reverting is the right move (not least because no reason was given and Ore is still the name used on the national rail website). For future reference any autoconfirmed editor (which I believe you are) can move the page back in a simple situation like this where the page moved from only has the one item in it's history (the move and creation of redirect) (see WP:MOR). In more complicated situations it would have to be done by an administrator, which I'm not. Dpmuk (talk) 13:53, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
