It is gross discourtesy to blank ones own talk page. You ignored four different pieces of advice given here when you created the Squires Gate station article. Please add a note here to confirm that you have read this page. And '''do not''' blank it - the comments cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered unacceptable. |

I asked a civil question above: ''what evidence have you for the names you used'' for four stations on the Fleetwood branch? If you wish to become a proper Wikipedian you will answer it. An honest answer of ''I don't know, I was guessing'' (if that is the case) will win you far more brownie points than blanking the page. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 01:25:27, 2005-08-11 (UTC) |

Railway stations, etc.
I have touched virtually everthing you did yesterday, so you deserve some words of explanation.
- Why Do You Capitalise Every Word In A Sentence? Please stop it - it just makes work for other editors.
- I can see absolutely no reason for four virtually identical pictures and one only slightly different in Poulton-le-Fylde railway station.
Wikipedia is not an image gallery.Two pictures in the article is fine. - The same goes for two very similar pictures in Level crossing but I will let you or someone else decide - but learn to spell near.
- You have forgotten Squires Gate railway station - remember: lower case 'r' and 's'!
- Fleetwood branch. My view on closed railway stations is that you deal with them in an article about the line and just redirect from individual station names. For example Spencer Road railway halt. I am very dubious about all four of the station names you have given for the Fleetwood branch - I have seen references to "Burn Naze halt" and "Thornton for Cleveleys railway station". What evidence have you for the names you used? (Yes, I do know that stations tend to have been given different names at different times.) I suggest in the first instance that you expand Preston and Wyre Joint Railway before creating articles for the individual stations. (A session in the local library might be worthwhile.)
- Uploading images is a pain. Taken by me is unfortunately not enough - you have to add a proper tag - use one of those in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Public domain dedications.
- Image:P3080307.jpg is prima facie a copyright violation - but I am not sure what tag it should have! I have just emailed the webmaster on transportimages complaining about the absence of copyright info on the site.
- These two images, from Cleveleys and Thornton, Lancashire are both copyvios. If you feel like submitting your own substitutes, that would be welcomed.
- Don't email me your address or I will come and see you next time I visit my mother in law in Ansdell!
I hope I have not put you off too much - keep contributing! -- RHaworth 17:31:46, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
