Note:

Posting notes: For the sake of keeping discussions together, unless you request otherwise, I will reply to your posts here and will also watch pages where I have posted myself and expect replies there. Keep content disputes off here. They belong to relevant articles' talk pages. If you've come here to sway me to a discussion/AfD on an article I have merely reverted or did other minor edit to, I'm most probably not interested. Such requests will be deleted immediately, or at best ignored. Similar requests by email will end up in the trash can. Don't revert edits to this talk page, unless they're obvious vandalism like blanking/malicious editing of other's comments etc. I'll deal with stupid/hate/spam messages myself. Please sign and date your entries by inserting ~~~~ at the end. Thank you!

About Talk (Email me) Contributions Image Gallery Userboxes Awards Subpages Sandbox Yes, that would be good, thanks for the invitation! May I make a suggestion that you might want to use "Show preview" between edits instead of saving after each of lots of small edits, as that would make using the History page easier and save Wikipedia's resources as it wouldn't have to save a version of the page after each small edit? Please let me know if there's a reason why you're saving after each edit if I'm wrong!

If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there. WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software. To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security! All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page. I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly. New IRC server! The old channel on Freenode is not used anymore. See See here. Manual for using IRC can be found here for why.

I completely was surprised to see a Class 378 London Overground unit (378007) in passenger service between Willesden and Richmond today, but I took some pics. I will upload these within the next hour or so. I even took an interior shot too! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 22:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC) Well the speed thing wasn't too noticeable, given that the North London Line is a stopping service, but the acceleration was smoother if I recall correctly. Seating all longitudinal like in a tube train - cuts seating capacity by half. But it wasn't busy on Tuesday at 6pm, maybe we were lucky!. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 22:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC) Thanks for choosing my picture for your User Page! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 11:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC) Ah, but it appears there is an error in the code for your Selected Picture section! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 11:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC) I think I fixed the error. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 11:56, 8 September 2009 (UTC) Yes, it's good now!

This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Virgininside.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move.

This WikiProject would not be where it is today without each and every one of its members! Thank you to all! General After the surge of new articles in June, July has been a quieter month with just one new featured article, Chelsea Bridge (well done again Iridescent), and one new good article, Charles Pearson. We therefore, currently have 10 Featured Articles, 1 Featured List and 10 Good Articles although two of thse are under reassessment. Unfortunately, one former Good Article, Docklands Light Railway was demoted to B-class in July and in early August this was followed by Jean Charles de Menezes. We have 90 B-class articles and it would nice to see some of those improved as suggested before. However, overall assessment of articles appears to have dropped with 43% of articles now unasssessed for quality. Also, 35% of articles have no assessment or importance rating at all. This is quite an increase whereas it was only 1/4 at the start of the year. There are concerns over what areas of the project are still in use and what are not. Please see WT:LT#Condition of the Wikiproject London Transport page. On the Portal, the only active areas seem to be the voting and changing of the selected pictures and articles. The transport news seems to be infrequently updated with the most up-to-date news being in this newsletter! As usual all suggestions to improving the Metropolitan are welcome so if you have one we would be happy to hear from you. This month's selected image Ticket office at Oakleigh Park station, Barnet From the editor August, despite some significant changes appears to have been a quiet month. I hope this is still interesting\informative. Thanks to DavidCane and Huangcjz for some corrections.

Tyw7 requests help with improving Docklands Light Railway rolling stock A major move request was done by MRSC, who has recently returned, at Talk:London Paddington station#Requested move. The move involves the format of names of many London stations. Please see the discussion. Mattdickinson brought up an interesting point on correcting Live departure boards Template:Nearest Over has been deleted. Did you know... ...that Sir Alexander Valentine, Chairman of London Transport wrote a book encouraging Londoners to walk round the city. ...that in the 1960s Chelsea Bridge was a venue for illegal bike racing and, in 1970, a battle took place between rival motorcycle gangs. ...that before Charles Pearson campaigned for the construction of the Metropolitan Railway, he proposed a giant underground railway terminus in Farringdon? ...that a year after its death in 2006, the remains of a bottlenose whale removed from the River Thames at Battersea Bridge were put on public display in the offices of The Guardian newspaper? ...that in September 1844 a clown from Astley's Amphitheatre sailed from Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster Bridge in a washtub towed by geese? ...that the Dollis Brook Viaduct is the highest point on both the Northern Line and the London Underground above ground level, reaching 60 feet (18 m) in height? ...that the Dollis Valley Greenwalk is one of ten parks and open spaces in the London Borough of Barnet to win a £400,000 grant to improve its quality and safety? ...that Chelsea Bridge was little used at night when it first opened, because of its owners' policy of only turning the lighting on if Queen Victoria was spending the night in London? ...that Albert Bridge in London is seriously structurally unsound in part because of rotting caused by dog's urine? ...despite the many motorways serving London, only four (the M1, the M4, M11 and M25) actually enter Greater London? ...out of the 32 London Borough, six have no underground stations- all of them south of the River Thames. ...Marylebone tube station opened with the unusual name of Great Central, reflecting the main line company that ran trains out of the terminus? ...that Routemasters are still used on two heritage bus routes in London, routes 9 and 15? ...that for two years, from 1883 to 1885, the District Railway ran services along the Great Western Main Line to Windsor?

Wikipedia ads file info – #137 Simply south (talk) 20:27, 4 September 2009 (UTC) If you want, you can write the next issue next month. Otherwise i could add a gallery section for next month's. Simply south (talk) 23:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC) Actually save writing next month's until the end of this month. Simply south (talk) 08:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC) 350 Calm down. It was what looks like mistakenly removed by Raywil. Also, moving images into the gallery below instead of cluttering the page when they don't illustrate things already shown unless they are for a specific purpose is relatively common practice. Simply south (talk) 21:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I unfortunately deleted the intoduction by mistake when moving the pictures. I've now restored it though, and the pictures have all also been moved to the gallery at the bottom of the page, so hopefully it looks better now. Sorry for any confusion or disruption that this might have caused! (blushing) Raywil (talk) 01:06, 5 September 2009 (UTC) Class 390 Interior Interesting to see the 378 at Milton Keynes. Anyway I finally rode a class 390 Pendolino on Friday on a day trip to Birmingham, here is the interior: best, Sunil060902 (talk) 23:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC) No. it was after everyone had got off at New Street LOL! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 22:52, 5 September 2009 (UTC) DLR Rolling Stock Nope, I'm not and have never been employed by DLR or any other part of TfL in any capacity. Indeed, I'm puzzled as to why you thought otherwise!? I'll have a look at the Docklands Light Railway rolling stock article when I next get the chance (unlikely to be before Sunday or Monday) and see if there is anything I can help with. I'm not typically a good article writer though, I'm generally better at proof reading, minor fixes and the like. Thryduulf (talk) 01:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC) True, but anyone sitting nearby with a camera can photograph it when they have opened it!

You have new messages at Iridescent's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. IRC Personally no and i don't know how to use it. I'm usually contactable through my talkpage only. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience. I also don't use e-mail for here. I'm sorry if this causes any troubles. Simply south (talk) 16:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC) Thank you Hi Tyw7, about this photo (File:Carassius_auratus_Black_Moor.jpg), thank you for the kind help and support. I just wanted to say that I appreciated that a lot. I'm still new here, so it felt really encouraging. Thank you! ﻯναოթ€ռ (talk) 19:30, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
