Stationmasters

[edit]

Is that list really necessary? 188.29.208.63 (talk) 18:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The joy of all things (talk · contribs) has been adding such lists to various station articles for well over a year now. Feel free to remove the unsourced entries. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:06, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64 I take issue with that. If you had bothered to look at the history, you'll see that it has been Andrewrabbott that has been adding the lists. I don't like them as it made about 40 Yorkshire pages need attention for being an incomplete list overnight. Make sure of your facts before you go slinging accusations around.The joy of all things (talk) 15:28, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[1] is a quite recent example.The joy of all things (talk) 22:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my mistake, I looked at the page history for edit summaries mentioning "masters" and most had your name on. Looking back a couple more years, it's clear that the section was originally added by Andrewrabbott (talk · contribs). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:04, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you and regards.The joy of all things (talk) 19:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The list has been blanked for now. Unless there is some desire to keep all, then I believe it should be removed. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways/Archive 47#Lists of station masters. The joy of all things (talk) 21:15, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am now removing this as there have been no objections, as per WP:BOLD. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 07:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Echo story

[edit]

This story in The Northern Echo has quite a lot of info about the railway at Northallerton, including a definitive identification of the Northallerton Town station. And it has a fair amount of historical photos too. I'm linking it here for reference. I'll see if there's anything that can be added to the article, if no-one beats me to it (please do!). -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 22:17, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Finlay McWalter I think most of what is in the article is covered at Railways in Northallerton. I saw the printed version in the Darlington and Stockton Times, and was hesitant in case the writer used elements of Wikipedia for the story? I was worried about WP:CIRCULAR, though that could be completely unfounded.... Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 23:11, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, unfortunately the standard of regional papers in the UK is now so threadbare that your WP:CIRCULAR concerns are quite appropriate. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 23:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
