re: Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon

Hi 21stCenturyGreenstuff, thanks for your response. Although it's unfortunate about your edits to Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon, just thought this policy would be worth looking over, at the very least from the point of view of a new Wikipedia editor: Wikipedia:Verifiability. I saw that you're working on an autobiography.... just know that once it is published, your memoirs can be cited in an article as a reliable source.  :-) I for one would definitely know what it was like to work with Kate Bush! Cheers.... - eo (talk) 01:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Sully, Vale of Glamorgan and Sully Island

I think you've done a really good job on those pages - you've improved them tremendously. Thanks! I made a couple of minor edits - Wikipedia style doesn't italicise headings; just use the ==heading==, ===subheading===... markup. I also removed the mention of the post office and the Sully Inn - although the Sully Inn is certainly a historic building about which much could be written, if we could just find it, and the Post Office has been the village shop for several generations, it doesn't add much to the article just to say that the village has a pub and a shop. It would be more notable if Sully didn't have those!

Thanks again for all the work you've done on these, it's really nice to see my home village getting some Wikipedia lovin'. :) Vashti (talk) 18:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Hutchence's just didn't sound right, my mistake :) BTW, I'm from Birmingham too. INXS-Girl (talk) 15:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I am English and not at all sad, it's Hutchence not Hutchence's, say it out loud. Sounds like something an idiot chav would say. 82.18.230.206 (talk) 20:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Well sonny, I guess you are sadder than you thought and Yes, your university education does appear to be wasted. Learn to punctuate your English correctly before you start firing blanks! 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 13:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Dreamland Margate

I have reverted your recent edit to Dreamland Margate. You changed the text before the citation to something which is not backed up by the cited source. In addition, your text which read

“ Twenty five percent of the ride's track footprint has been totally destroyed including the first main tower, the station and the workshop storage facility. Early indications by scenic railway experts are that the ride can be rebuilt. However, the ride's trains are irreplaceable as they were the last surviving original 1920's scenic railway cars in existance, although replica rolling stock can be found or fabricated. ”

is unsourced, so cannot be included. If you need assistance in citing sources, have a look at WP:CITE. If you would like me to help, let me know which newspaper you read the story in and I'll try and work in a citation for you. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 12:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The amendments to the Dreamland page were drawn from here http://www.savedreamland.co.uk/ which is updating daily since the fire and contains links to dozens of other sites and newspaper reports. My amendments to the Dreamland article were a precis of all the extant and more up to date information than the older referenced quotation that you have reverted to.

"Police investigating the fire which badly damaged the Scenic Railway have now confirmed it was started deliberately. Samples collected by specialist police and fire officers at the Margate site on Tuesday have been sent off for analysis in the arson investigation."

"It was difficult to gauge just how much of the Scenic has gone with smoke billowing around the park, but I would guess we have lost at least 25% of the track, part of the Station and - this is the worst bit by far - the workshop."

"Approximately 25% of the structure (the main lift hill and much of the central part of the ride) has been lost, and so has the workshop, which housed all the original trains."

"The trains are more difficult, but there are other examples elsewhere in the world, and at Great Yarmouth, which could be used as a template for a rebuild." 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 13:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I've worked in three of the latest BBC news stories about the fire, and moved it to its own section. What do you think of this? -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 13:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, better than what was there before. How about mentioning the extent of the damage though...25% of the track, the main lift hill, station and workshop...and the loss of the original 1920s rolling stock? To the casual reader it may sound currently like the whole ball of chalk has gone up in flames. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 13:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a good point, well made. It's such a shame that the Dreamland site has been allowed to fall into such a state of disrepair. I have very fond memories of being taken there as a child, back before it became "Bembom Brothers". -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 13:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
