Talk:Mies, Switzerland

Dhartung, I have reversed your changes which were far more than a style improvement. It was a complete hatchet job. Vast swathes of facts and useful information have been removed by you in the name of "style improvement". Maybe some of your changes are cosmetically better and some discussion can take place on whether all the facts are necessary, but you went too far with the scissors. By all means improve the layout, re-arrange the paragraphs, but remove facts requires careful thought and wholesale cutting like you did is getting close to vandalism. Discuss mit here if you like, I will check back. Trickyt 19:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dhartung's edits were entirely appropriate, and certainly not vandalism. Trickyt's version was full of unacceptable non-NPOV language, tourist and travel information that might belong in Wikitravel but doesn't belong in Wikipedia, and a bunch of general info (school trivia etc.) that again doesn't belong. I've restored Dhartung's version. -- Finlay Mcwalter | Talk 18:09, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What "STYLE" improvements do you want?

Please feel free to discuss any changes with me.

I have changed the transportation/train entry for Mies since it referred to "pendulaires" as "slow trains". This is not true. The pendulaires, or "tilting" trains, are Switzerland's high-speed, main-line, inter-city trains. TR/04/05/2006.

Not true. "Pendulaires" simply means "commuter trains". You're probably thinking of the ICN or the Italian Pendolino. On the Geneva - Coppet line, though, something very similar to the RBe 540 (Maybe RBe 560, I'm not sure) is used. And since it stops eight times in the 15km between Coppet and Geneva, it can probably be considered a "slow train".
