[edit] Unitrans bus pages
I was considering renaming your individual bus pages -- Unitrans RT4735 should probably just be RT 4735 or similar. The number, especially for the DDs, isn't specific to Unitrans, and someone could potentially add details of their lives pre- or post-Unitrans ownership. Thoughts? PxT 17:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm.... good point. The RT's are probably a special case because they retained their original numbers and have such a widespread interest, but what about the Daimlers, the RLH's, or any of the other secondhand buses? I think that it's a good idea at least for the RT's, but if the change gets made some more London-specific information should probably be added to those pages. One possible interim step would be to include links to each of the RT pages on the AEC Regent III RT page, but on the AEC Regent III RT page make the Unitrans links read just to show the RT# (like you suggest above). Then, as the pages mature and more London-specific info is added, I suspect that somebody will change the names at that point. Spicoli 06:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SPAM at Walnut Creek
Adding a link to a blog as a footnote in the Walnut Creek article is spamming. It's been removed once before, but giving the benefit of the doubt, I'll not press the issue this time. But after a warning, you can be blocked for continued spamming of articles. --Kevin Murray 23:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Regarding you comemnts at my talk page. (WP does not allow self-published blog information about a subject as a viable source, this is a pretty well tested precedent. I appologize if you made an error in good faith and I jumped on you. If you don't try to return that info. to the page, we will have no problems. --Kevin Murray 02:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Compromise: I'll leave it alone at his article, but please keep it out of WC. If you have a newpaper article which references his residence put that there, but no one is questioning any of the "celebrities" in the list, but the blog note stands out like a wart on a sore thumb. I'll bet we are neighbors here in the Creek, so let's work together. Sorry to have offended you, just following procedures; the spam patrol is more brutal. Cheers!
