I don't know if you ever see this page anymore, Andy, but if you do, could you head over to my user page and send me an email? I have a message from someone on the Echoes mailing list re:TAP to pass on (if you haven't got it already). Thanks! - dharmabum 00:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hey there. I see you're editting again so I am guessing you have been unblocked.

I notice you are editting numerous articles to do with Birmingham so I thought it maybe possible to interest you to show your interest in participating in a West Midlands Wikiproject: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#West_Midlands. If you are interested, just add your user name under the appropriate heading. Thanks a lot - Erebus555 15:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hams Hall

Hi! I was working on the MINI (BMW) article - the engine for this car is made at a BMW factory at Hams Hall in Warwickshire - so I stuck in a link to Hams Hall. However, when I follow that link (which evidently, you created), it takes me to Ladywalk Reserve - a nature reserve of some kind. Car parts tend not to be made in nature reserves! Yet both are in Warwickshire, which can't just be a coincidence.

Is Hams Hall actually a nearby town that contains (at a minimum) both Ladywalk Reserve and the BMW engine factory? That seems the most likely explanation. If so, then your redirect is 'A Bad Thing' because Hams Hall isn't a nature reserve as the article immediately suggests.

Help!

Hams Hall currently redirects to Ladywalk, which is a nature reserve on the site of the former HH power station.; you can edit the former in the usual way, but please be sure to include a link to Ladywalk. Andy Mabbett 07:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The trouble is that I don't know anything about Hams Hall - except that there is a BMW factory there. I just know that I don't want my article pointing to Ladywalk. Ideally, Hams Hall should be a redlink until someone comes along to write about it. My immediate reaction is to request that Hams Hall be deleted - but if you (or someone you know) could write even a basic stub about Hams Hall (presumably with a link to Ladywalk) - then that would be much better. As I say, I'd do that myself except that all I could write would be "There is a BMW factory and a nature reserve there." - which is pretty pathetic even for a stub - and I don't have references for either fact!

I thought some more and decided to put in a WP:RFD request to have the redirect deleted. I think that's the best thing for now. If anyone wants to write an article about Hams Hall, they can still do that. SteveBaker 15:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

OK - nevermind - somebody made a decent stub from the redirect. SteveBaker 17:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
