[edit] Article split

Copied from Dunc|☺'s talk:

Thanks for writing the article on British Rail Class 77. I noticed you also incorporated the NS 1500 Class as well. I would probably be tempted to write separate articles, as this will allow more detail on each of their respecitive careers to be added without confusion, and also allow the correct categorisation. What do you think? As a note, 1501/E27003 (in Holland) and 1502/E27000 (in UK) have also been preserved. I will upload a photo of E27000 later tonight. Our Phellap 19:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I am not totally opposed to a split, but I think that there are benefits in having an artice of the current length as one, and the article must organically grow until such point that it is too big to be one until it becomes two. Dunc|☺ 11:59, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Horrible table colour scheme

I put the colour scheme in the table to make it immediately more obvious which locos have been scrapped and which preserved. It is the standard as used in other articles, e.g. Class 73, 86, 87.... Our Phellap 20:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, they're ghastly too and should go (atleast there isn't the yellows and reds as used there). The standard table colour looks much more professional, and the horrid colours are distracting rather than informative. — Dunc|☺ 21:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I take it you are not a visual learner then? Colour coding usually helps to make information more accessible. Feel free to make the colours paler (pastel shades perhaps) but I would not advocate removing them. Our Phellap 22:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
