Zouch

Hi,

I reverted your edit to Zouch. Two contradictory pronunciations are indicated, so I'd added a (fact) tag, which you removed without indicating which pronunciation is correct: does it rhyme with coach or with scotch? kwami (talk) 00:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

So it does rhyme with scotch, then. I'll correct the entry. kwami (talk) 09:49, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to The Emergency (Ireland), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. While this may be true, you have not provided any citations, it is not WP:NPOV and is most likely considered original research. ww2censor (talk) 17:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Swithland Viaduct (Not being a station)

It would really depend on how you choose to define 'station' really. Historically, anywhere controlled by a signalbox is defined as its 'station limits', whether or not there is actually a station there or not. Obviously, the viaduct doesn't fall into this category, however of not is that passenger trains are timed to stop there, and since station is derived from 'stationary'...! Ultimaely, I added the template links I did on the grounds that there is no quick link to get from the Swithland Viaduct page to the rest of the GCR pages without having to scour the article.

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited David George (cyclist), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages EPO and Barlowworld (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
