instead of voting on an article I would rather strive to improve one NRL club every fortnight and bring it up very close to featured status. Now it seems as though there'd be a lot of work involved, but there are also a lot of club fans out there who'd probably be willing to participate. Basically there are 30 weeks in the NRL season and there are 15 club pages that are not yet featured. I propose that we all have a schedule to work on one new article every second round, in alphabetical order. By the end of the season hopefully we will have 15 near-complete, if not complete articles. My only concern at this stage is the dedication of editors to help out other team pages that they are not interested in. Basically in order to get the support of editors like these, we need a few leaders in the project. If you are willing to dedicate a bit of your time every week into this and if you have any further suggestions, could you let me know at

642:? If it is a case of Hero vs Villain, then virtually all of the engines qualify as 'heroes'. Alternatively, if the character has performed some 'superhuman feat' (is that possible for a steam engine? :o) ), maybe that is qualification enough. In which case, we must list Duck (preventing runaway trucks crashing, ends up in barber's shop), Edward (catches James when he runs driverless down line), Henry ("Super Rescue"), Duke (when he prevents Falcon/Stuart from crashing down an embankment), Rheneas and Edward (continuing after major motion failure), Lord Harry (rescuing injured mountaineer on Culdee Fell), etc, etc. These are just some examples from memory -- I'm sure there are many more. 2905: 2802: 2746: 2690: 2634: 2578: 2472: 2416: 2360: 2304: 2248: 2192: 2082: 2026: 1970: 481:'s layout effectively 'tabulated' the information without the need for a table, and I thought he had done a good job. Changing the images to left-anchored has removed all the bullet points from the first few lines of information, and has 'undone' the tabulation for these titles - it is no longer possible to scan down the page for a title and immediately see the date/illustrator/story titles. 903:

that, if that's what we're doing, but we would need to make it clear to readers where such prototype information was available. It would lead to consistency problems within the article though, as all the non-book characters would still need their prototype info locally, so there would be a continuing desire by readers to add prototype info to the 'book characters' in order to be 'complete'.

3114: 1890: 2145:(notably the earlier ones) are cluttered with useless notes that state who narrated the episode and original research like goofs to all the episodes on the guide. The narrator information and which episodes introduce new characters is highly redundant, for there are separate sections on the page for that. 1282:

Hey I've noticed you're a regular on rugby league articles, particulary NRL ones. I need your advice on something I'm thinking of starting up on the project. Many WikiProjects have Article Improvement Drives which have different levels of success. I'm thinking of starting one up for this one too, but

2160:

I'm wondering it we should re-format the pages for consistency of the site. It would reduce the level of spoilers if we stuck with brief summaries, and the vandalised notes sections can be removed from the episodes, too. If you want to stay with the current style, however, we should at least propose

Incidentally, you reverted the edit about Mavis being a BR Class 04. In her case this information is present on her book character entry, so is that a project policy? Ie, "TV Series characters were based on book characters which were based on specific prototypes." I don't have a big problem with

article makes no (apparent) mention of the moral tone of the books, yet these examples clearly show the characters going 'beyond the call of duty', and might be appropriate to highlight in such a section. (I'm not the person to write it, neither, as I've always been hopeless at literary character

We've both re-instated the redirect on this page before now, so I think stronger action is called for. I don't really want these pages deleted, if possible, since there are cases where some of the relevant information has NOT been transferred, and it's useful to refer back for clarification. (In

It is a sad state of affairs, but I think that the first of these is the only really likely outcome, since to retain the existing set of images also requires the application of individual 'fair use rationales' to all of the images. There's too much work for even two people, and I'm feeling pretty

I had a quick look at his contributions and there are tens of edits to the TV season pages, which you will probably find are all vandalism. However, be warned, his style is to introduce inaccuracies into the existing information, which can only be spotted by someone with knowledge of the subject

Hello, i was just wondering if i could be any help to you on 'Wiki project thomas.' I am a new user, but hope i can be some help, as thomas the tank engine has always been a matter incredibly close to my heart. (litterally when i was 4 years old, i fell on a model of Percy and almost died from my

Thanks mate, great to hear there's already support! I don't know a lot about other clubs either, but I've posted a couple of suggestions on how to get around that on the project page. Perhaps if non-Knowledge user Dragons Army members want to help out on this, that would be great too. I'm looking

665:

My thought on this is that, while the stories (both TV and books) are packed full of protagonsists, and the occasional antagonsit, to place characters in the high position of "hero/heroine" is a sweeping statement, which isn't entirely accurate. Indeed, the engines are by and large represented as

308:

Zachary Wanzer is seemingly still ignoring signs that we have both placed before his very eyes stating that the page is unneccessary if he keeps removing all our content, and narrowing it down to one three line paragraph - which is ludicrous... I dunno about you but I feel further measures/action

996:

you had removed the space from before the numbers. I have found before now that just leaving a star (or a space, which is neater) with no further qualification will not guarantee the order that pages appear on the category page. Adding 'space + char' forces the issue, and moves the page to the

The images look nice. I guess it is better to have all of the books on one page rather than having them seperately, instead of cluttering up the main space. Also, a lot of images on the list of railway characters did not have copyright tags. I recently added tags to some that didn't have these,

337:

Hullo, I'm relatively new to the Knowledge 'editing scene' so I hope you will forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I'm interesting in joining your TtTE editing group, as it is something that interests me, having grown up with. Will also help me learn Wiki editing as I will be writing about

373:

I'm starting to wonder if the reason for all these un-redirects is because the pages for the Railway Series do not exist for these 'minor characters' yet. All the re-directs for Mavis go to the TV series page, which does not cover the books' aspect. Perhaps if the Railway Series aspects were

933:

You'll see that I have now adjusted the wording slightly. I found the first, and hence most important, paragraph to be rather difficult to follow (not least because you had inadvertently added the page to the category of Thomas project members!!) I hope you'll agree that the revised version

Hi. Just a heads-up to say that I've applied some minor changes to the intro paragraphs of T&F Seasons 1 - 10. I had spotted a punctuation problem on Series 2 and 4 pages, and I've been waiting for the articles to reach a stable state to apply the changes. I've been watching your recent

Hello, I've seen your addition to the Series 10 talk page, and although I'm sad to admit it Emily does deserve to remain on the page... she's more likely than some of the other characters that have been put on the page... lol.... I believe the trouble with your edits is down to a user named

While the version to which I reverted was not ideal, it certainly satisfied the above criteria. I have given it a fair bit of thought, and believe the current version (which is in the articles now) is the ideal version. It satisfies the criteria, and I cannot see how it could be

787:– namely, all the engines! I have checked back to a previous version and found that at least one line was omitted from the restore (since corrected). Could you have a look too to see that no other changes have been added/removed by accident. (How did we miss this????) -- 737:

The reasons for my reverts were made clear in edit summaries - US/UK us a terminology which should be avoided (except for abbreviations, such as in episode titles in articles). Also, as the series is a British series, not an American one, this needs to be made clear at all

I've attempted to add a page to about "come ride the rails..." but it seems that it must not be an appropriate page, or else the content is sub-par. I tried reading the explanations but I couldn't tell if it was considered valdalism or off topic. Thanks for the input.

You may be aware of the current push towards the effective elimination of non-free images within WP, especially from pages using multiple images. This has a potentially huge impact on the 'Thomas' pages, considering almost all the pictures are 'fair use'. So far, only

Thinking further about the layout for this article, / to provide more space between the book entries? It would be an easy matter to add an extra blank line before each title, and/or underline the titles, but I'm not sure that either is approved layout.

While TTTE is obviously Brittish it has only been re-narrated in Seasons 1&2. Season 3 on has been narrated seperatley but at the same time by the narrators so please stop trying to shove incorrect info down our throats. It's just plain rude.

I didn't realise the bullet points had disappeared, and that's the main reason I'm going to revert my own edit and put all the images back on the right. If it weren't for this particular effect on the layout, I would prefer the "stagger".
