Are you British or American?

I see that you originally started the car float article. in Talk:Greater Victoria, British Columbia#Rail tracks east and west of Victoria Harbour User:Skookum1 questions the origen of the term "car float" and proposes rail barge which redirects guess where.

I left a reply on my talk page. Peter Horn User talk 20:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

In order to poke your memory, I left this note :Hello Chris, I used the "History" feature, 5th item down at top left of the car float article ([History]) and then clicked on "earliest" to get to the the beginning and thus found "(cur | prev) 2005-05-20T18:25:37 Chris j wood (talk | contribs) (353 bytes) (new)". That is why I asked you. Just click on the links. at User talk:Peter Horn#Are you British or American? Peter Horn User talk 15:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of University of East London Docklands Campus

The article University of East London Docklands Campus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable - part of a larger institution and duplicates much of the information at University of East London. WP:Outcomes would suggest deletion if this were a department rather than a campus.

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sitush (talk) 00:47, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Railways in Germany task force

Chris, I don't known if you're interested but there is a WikiProject Trains/Rail transport in Germany task force that you might wish to join. There is no commitment other than taking an interest in German (and Austrian/Swiss) railways. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Reading, Berkshire

Sorry for the late reply, I've been away. Unfortunately, I'm also going to be rather busy in the forseeable. As well as this, I'm slightly losing my confidence in my ability to judge without being able to put the time in. It would be my inclination, however, that the lead as it is now is structually right, but has a level of detail more appropriate for a shorter article rather than a GA. For example, Birmingham has an article length about 50% bigger, but a lead twice the size. The lead just feels a bit 'exposed'. As I say, I'm unfortunately not in a position to take the article further myself at the moment, but GA reviews are by themselves without prejudice: there is nothing preventing the same process happening again (there is a suggested cooling-off period, but that is almost over, I think, and more importantly it is mostly to prevent excessive nominiating/gaming the system, which this would clearly not be). I hope it goes well, Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Image update

Hi! I've been replacing an older image of mine with an updated one on various wiki's, IE:- File:Huddersfield Railway Station.jpg, following some redevelopment work to St Georges Square at the station entrance. I noted a wikicommons link showing that you have a copy of it on your User:Chris j wood/pictures page, so I thought you may like a link to the replacement image:- File:Huddersfield Railway Station (RLH).jpg. :) Richard Harvey (talk) 09:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Claverton Pumping Station

Many years ago you started the article on Claverton Pumping Station. I've recently expanded this (after visiting and talking to the volunteers) and I'm hoping to get it to GA. Would you be kind enough to take a look?— Rod ^talk 20:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

GA

Hi Chris, As one of the major editors on the Reading,_Berkshire that I'm looking at for GA. I wanted to invite you to pop by the GA review page so we can make sure that the review isn't asking for anything unreasonable.... just because the 'on hold' week is sliping by...
