== Bush gives his poodle a new collar ==

I think you were giving my fellow Americans too much credit in your edit summary at [[George W. Bush]]. I'm betting the writer didn't even know Blair was out of office by 2009. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 16:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::I too assume it was an American; I just figure he or she was wrong for a different reason. While people knew who Blair was even before the Iraq War, most had never heard of poor Gordon until his press conference just before resigning. And then it was only because Jon Stewart made a bid deal out of it. On the other side, most Americans other than reporters are uncomfortable enough with calling a former president "President" that I just doubt that's it. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 16:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Unlike most of my countrymen, I'm well aware of his phone-throwing tendencies. My friends all think I'm weird for following British politics, but I think it's their loss. I mean, the entire Brown premiership was exciting political theatre no matter whether you were a Brownite, Blairite, Tory, or even Lib Dem. The best we ever get are political mini-series like the Clinton impeachment or the Florida recount. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 17:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

==Sydenham (disambiguation)==
I think this is a clear case of [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB#Examples_of_individual_entries_that_should_not_be_created]] . What do you think? [[User:Widefox|Widefox]] ([[User talk:Widefox|talk]]) 19:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
: Unless you consider those entries to be referred to by the name "Sydenham", this is clear-cut in the manual of style, I fixed the page removing those entries, and replacing them with the correct "part of title" links. I overlooked the primary topic, so fixed that too. [[User:Widefox|Widefox]] ([[User talk:Widefox|talk]]) 20:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

== Re: English city move opposes ==

According to [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]], to be a primary topic, you have to be more than the '''most''' important; you have to  be more important than all the other things COMBINED, often substantially more important.  Is Cambridge, England more important than Cambridge, Mass., Cambridge U., Cambridge, Jamaica, and all the other Cambridges put together?  Is Plymouth, England more important than Plymouth Colony, Plymouth, Mass, Plymouth, Montserrat, Plymouth, Indiana and Plymouth the car combined?  Decidedly not, in both cases '''<span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Purplebackpack89#top|<span style="color:#3A003A;">Pur</span><span style="color:#800080;">ple</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#991C99;">back</span><span style="color:#CC33CC;">pack</span><span style="color:gold;">89</span>]]</span>'''  23:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

==London Wikimedia Fundraiser==
Good evening! This is a friendly message from [[User:Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry]], inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an [[Eigenharp]], a [[mulled wine]] hot tub, a free [[hog roast]], a [[haybale]] [[amphitheatre]] and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - [[User:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry]] ([[User talk:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|talk]]) 23:21, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello Likelife, thanks for your edit to the CTRL article with a link to DB's press page (which I hadn't seen yet).  A couple of days ago I posted a formatted cite/note for the original report at [[Talk:Channel Tunnel#Technical opinion of ERA regarding the conclusions of the IGC]], but haven't had a chance to write it up yet.  —[[User:Sladen|Sladen]] ([[User talk:Sladen|talk]]) 15:06, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

:Ah I did not notice that and your welcome.[[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 16:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

==Barton Line==
Hi, cannot understand why you switched the navbox on this article as Barton is in the Yorkshire and Humber  region and not in the East Midlands region. I think that Barton Line needs removing from the East Midlands navbox as it is incorrect. [[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D|talk]]) 12:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry, just looking at the North Lincolnshire article, I did not realise that this part of Lincolnshire is in the Y&H region, I thought it was in the East Mids like the rest of the county. Also because I did see the line in the East Midlands box and not the Yorkshire one I thought it confirmed that. [[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 12:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
::No problem, it confuses a lot of people that Lincolnshire spans the 2 regions. [[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D|talk]]) 18:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

== Lower Sydenham railway station ==

Hi, re [[Lower Sydenham railway station]]; careful examination of a 1:25000 OS map shows that the Lewisham/Bromley boundary loops around the station to its south, so although pedestrians need to walk through some part of Bromley, the station itself is inside Lewisham. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 10:44, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

:::Hmmm that is confusing, it would have been so much simpler if they did all the boundaries by suburb. I'll change it back if it hasn't already - or should it say Lewisham/Bromley? [[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 08:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
::::It's likely that the platforms cross the boundary, but AFAIK it's the station buildings, not the platforms, that count for our purposes. The boundary commissioners try not to put a boundary through a building, since it complicates matters when it comes to council tax, responsibility for public services, etc. Thus, if we could obtain a larger-scale map - say 1:10000 or better still 1:2500 - we'd probably find that the station buildings are entirely one side of the boundary; possibly even with the boundary following a building wall. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:09, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

== Template:Major Development Projects in London ==

Hello.  Is this template slightly broken?  I ask because the "V T E" links for it don't work.  I suspect this is because the declared name in the template is "Major '''Construction''' Projects in London" (i.e. Construction rather than Development), but I'm not a template expert.

== [[Template:TSGN and SE Stations]] size ==

Hello Likelife, I've just spotted a load of template additions[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St_Pancras_railway_station&curid=311178&diff=568073730&oldid=566130502] adding [[Template:TSGN and SE Stations]].  This template is quite large (absolutely huge).  Adding in the region of 120kB+ to articles.  Is it ''really'' needed?  (We have a system of categories would could provide much the same with two clicks).   —[[User:Sladen|Sladen]] ([[User talk:Sladen|talk]]) 14:37, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

:Hi Sladen, I'm a little confused, I'm not adding the whole template to any article as most have only two or three routes, I would have thought only nowhere near that much would be added to the articles? [[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 14:53, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

::Size apart, I fear the final effect may confuse readers. For example, if I expand the bar at [[Cricklewood railway station]] then I see a full list of ThamesLink Wimbledon Loop services, followed by bars for "Southern routes serving this station" and "Southeastern routes serving this station", neither of which can be expanded. Can we assume that readers will understand that this isn't a bug and that they can't be expanded because there actually aren't any Southern or Southeastern routes serving this station? Readers might reasonably object that if there aren't any such routes then we shouldn't have empty lists of them. [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 15:24, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

:::User:Neby, admittedly I never thought about that, however, that could easily be changed to read ''none'' or ''no southeastern services'' for stations without those services. Would that be better? [[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 09:02, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

::::Sorry for checking back so late, especially considering how quickly you dealt with it. Yes, that looks much clearer. Neat solution! [[User:NebY|NebY]] ([[User talk:NebY|talk]]) 06:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Crossrail station count ==

I was inspired to edit the counter after {{diff|Crossrail|prev|601495419|this edit}} which altered the count from 39 to 40, presumably to include Reading - but that ignores Twyford which is also included in the latest scheme. To make sure that others had not been overlooked, I counted the stations on [[Template:Crossrail RDT]] as follows:
*9 between Reading and West Drayton
*2 on the Heathrow branch
*14 between Hayes & Harlington and Whitechapel
*4 on the Abbey Wood branch
*13 between Stratford and Shenfield
Total 42. How do you arrive at 40? --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 19:47, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

:Hi, there are 12 stations between Hayes & Harlington and Whitechapel not 14. The DfT, CR and TfL all say 40 too. Where you counting Old Oak and Kensal?+[[User:Likelife|Likelife]] ([[User talk:Likelife#top|talk]]) 08:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
::Yes, I did count those two: but surely they're all "proposed"? The difference between Old Oak Common/Kensal Town and e.g. Ealing Broadway/Acton Main Line is that at the latter places, the station is already open for non-Crossrail traffic. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 08:10, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
:::However, the proposed station at Kensal, like Silvertown, is only a ''proposal'' by Royal Kensington & Chelsea. Yes it is strongly supported but there is no allocated funding, open support or permission from NR, Boris, Osborne or the Transport Sec. At Old Oak, the article isn't clear if its planned or proposed, and normally more often than not, only planned stations are counted. Its still possible (though unlikely) that HS2 will be scrapped, though I'm sure the plans at Old Oak will happen regardless, it won't open until 7 years after Crossrail fully opens. We don't count {{rws|Wixams}} as station on Thameslink or {{rws|Lea Bridge}} on the Lea Valley, even though they're opening this/next year.
