Orphaned references in Lawrence Hill railway station

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lawrence Hill railway station's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Lead emphasis?

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Would this be better as "Cross Country Route and Severn Beach Line", with possible related changes to follow?

My point is that Lawrence Hill exists, and still exists, because of its importance on the major route from Bristol to the major inter-city network via Parkway. Even if the majority of trains through it don't stop, it's an important route through an otherwise unimportant station stop for local traffic. The Cross Country Route should thus appear before the Severn Beach Line. Andy Dingley (talk) 03:25, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

There wasn't any particular reason I wrote it that way round, it just came out that way - feel free to change it. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your listing of the Edinburgh Waverley image confused me - it took me a while to find where on the page that was! -mattbuck (Talk) 15:49, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/bristol-tramway/
Triggered by \brailway-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist
http://www.railway-technology.com/
Triggered by \brailway-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
