Classification of stations

Newhaven Marine railway station is in Places and infrastructure, but Wallsend Metro railway station is in Transport. As they're both British railway stations they should be in the same category, but I don't know which one. Your opinions? YttriumShrew, 04:27, 11 December 2019

Suggested additions

Should Wagatha Christie, Emmanuel Macron (for his personal life), and Laser Kiwi flag be added to this list? StellarHalo (talk) 22:44, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts:

The first: weak no. Other than the name, there is nothing unusual in this case;
The second: definitely no. It's not obvious to anyone looking from this list what is unusual in him. Lots of people marry to others much younger or older than them. This is not "unusual";
The third: perhaps, especially because of the design.

I have the intention of incluing the article " I love Bees" into the videogame section of Unusual articles. O recomeço (talk) 18:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested addition: American Hippo bill

I saw the article American Hippo bill in the Did You Know section of the main page recently. I think it may be unusual enough to merit inclusion in WP:UA, but I'm not sure what section it would belong in. 68.43.231.28 (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed addition: Nun's farts/puffs

Nun's Farts is a really funny name for an article so we should add it in the food section. However, the article has been moved to Nun's Puffs. I don't know what name we should put it under but it should definitely be added. 209.237.105.194 (talk) 20:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed addition: Hairy Ball Theorem

A topological theorem with a very unfortunate name. We should add Hairy ball theorem under "mathematics and numbers. 209.237.105.194 (talk) 16:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
