2012 Summer Olympics - Slalom canoeing/slalom racing

The article 2012 Summer Olympics formerly linked to the article Slalom canoeing with the link text Slalom racing. However Slalom canoeing makes no reference to racing, and describes a sport which is essentially an 'against the clock' type of event with only one competitor going at a time. I assumed that this was the correct sport, with a rather loose link text, and changed the text to slalom canoeing.

It seems I was wrong, as you reverted my change with the comment there is slalom kayaking as well. However this still left a link called Slalom racing pointing at an article not about racing and not referencing slalom kayaking; either the wrong article or an article in need of a rewrite. For now I've turned these into redlinks to Slalom racing. If I've misunderstood, please feel to correct . -- Chris j wood 11:25, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

It's rather confusing. The name for this sport given on the main list of sports on the IOC site is "canoe/kayak", but this is a portfolio term for the two disciplines of "Canoe / Kayak Flatwater" and "Canoe / Kayak Slalom". However it appears that the official body of the sport uses the terms "flatwater racing (sprint)" (which is a division of "canoe racing" which also includes the non-Olympic sport of "marathon racing") and "slalom canoeing" and the Wikipedia articles uses these names, so there's an inconsistency whatever names we use. I'll use the IOC terms in the 2012 article and add references to them to the canoeing articles. A timetrial is usually considered to be a form of race. Bhoeble 16:27, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Euston station

Please can you give a URL for the map you referred to in your recent edit summeary for Euston station? I'd love to see it! Thank you.. Andy Mabbett 15:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

I would have linked it, except that the motco.com maps are only available as pop-ups, which don't have urls. You can find the 1862 map here [1] Click on "Overview maps" and then click over Euston twice to get to the detailed level. Rather confusingly the large scale map then appears in first window.

Hi - Can you please comment on my latest response at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Category:Motor racing circuits? Thanks much. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

UK agencies

Just thought I'd lend my support to your tidying of the UK government bodies articles. Given that Executive Agency seems to have a precise definition, I agree that only articles on those agencies on the official list should go in that category, and others should be moved out. Note also that some of the bodies do not exist any more. By the time you read this I will have created a new category called Category:Former public bodies in the United Kingdom; feel free to populate that as part of your tidying SP-KP 10:45, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Vauxhall

Hello, Could you please tell me the source you used to create the article on Vauxhall Gardens? I am writing a masters thesis that deals with 19th century entertainment in London and it would be very, very helpful to be able to include citations about the admissions charged to Vauxhall, especially the fact that they peaked in the early nineteenth century, which is when Vanity Fair is set, one of the books I am using. I rarely use Wikipedia to communicate, but I assume you can post the information to the discussion second of my user page, like I am contacting you? Thank you so much! This information will be very helpful as I finish my paper. (P.S.: It is actually due fairly soon, so if you could contact me sooner than later, that would be great. I really appreciate it!) --Kevind81

Help and support needed

It would appear as though there are certain "editors" who wish to remove the lesser known literary punk genres, not only is this a blatant witch hunt which emerged from my argument on the Dark City talk page that the movie is a relveant component in reference to the dieselpunk genre, but also extremely vindictive against myself and those who have helped in categorising and adding content to the literay punk genres.
