Rail line box, other things and welcome[edit]

Rail line box[edit]
I can see you had trouble with the rail line box.
To create a rail line box copy (for example, this North London Railway box):
{{rail start}} {{rail line|previous=[[Broad Street railway station|Broad Street]]|next=[[Mildmay Park railway station|Mildmay Park]]|route=[[North London Railway]]|col=000000}} {{end box}}
Which will produce:
| Preceding station |  National Rail
|
Following station | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broad Street | North London Railway | Mildmay Park | ||
To change the colour, it is best either to experiment, copy it from another page or go to Help:colors.
For the previous and next destinations, insert the station of your choice, just after the = sign.
It must be in [[]].
For the route, you should insert the name of the rain company and link it, for now.
In order to make writing small, use <small>Can you read this?</small> which produces
Can you read this?
Finally, for line breaks, either press enter or use <br>
I hope this isn't too complicated.

On the talk page you asked: "How can a statement be correct in fact but not impartial? It may be correct but incomplete but facts don't carry partiality"
Very easily. For an answer see: WP:NPOV and WP:NPOVT. It is easy to use biased words to set out facts, especially if you have an opinion on a matter. Essentially Wikipedia requires that you don't prejudice the reader in any way. See the rules on 'fairness of tone'. Scoterican 17:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Image:BG.JPG[edit]
A tag has been placed on Image:BG.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:BG.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 04:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey! The colors used in the groups in the UEFA WCQ page could use an explanation, so would be good with your input on how to proceed on the talk page above! -- Lejman (talk) 20:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
 According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}
