formats. I think they need some more precise dates, rather than 18th and 19th centuries. We know the old main line was built between 1768 and 1772, for instance, which is more precise. You are also going to need refs for the facts, with a references section. Even though they are quite small at the moment, I would add an Infobox (have a look at other canal articles and copy one if you are not sure how to do it), and I would search on Wikimedia Commons for an image for each article. If you cannot find one there, the Geograph project is quite good, and if they have an image which is not on Commons, it can be transferred. I hope this helps. If anything is not clear, please respond! Keep up the good work.

whether to show or hide the template. I changed this to "show" a few months back as I felt that was more helpful to the casual reader; many visitors will simply not see the template contents otherwise. But the usual practice does seem to be to hide the larger templates. Again I'm happy for you to change this. If other editors see it keep changing that might get involved in the debate.--

consistency throughout Knowledge (XXG), all of the canal articles and the river articles have it positioned at the bottom, as do the Norway project, geography articles, holiday camp articles, aircraft articles, and quite a few more. The UK Waterways talk page might be a better place for discussion, though I am not sure how many people look at that regularly, either.

This makes them available to all the other language Wikipedias instantly and also allows tham to be categorised so that they can more easily be found (something not done on en.Knowledge (XXG)). It is quite satisfying to see one's pictures in an article in a foreign language. You would be their foreign correspondent! 299:

positioned at the bottom of the article. I am not sure that it is worth starting a discussion, because the answer will almost certainly be "at the bottom". I cannot see any sensible argument for moving away from a convention that seems to apply over most of English wikipedia. Let me know what you think.

Did Sangharakshita (or his estate) revoke permission to use Sangharakshita's essay on Conze? I found it curious that it was suddenly removed when it was, at Jayarava's instigation. I intend to contribute to the Knowledge (XXG) page, though I was quite content with the entry as you had created it.

I'm happy for you to move the templates as you see fit. I have only put them in the "see also" section where there is one, which is usually near the bottom anyway. I will ask on the help desk whether there is a general rule for placement, since "see also" seems more logical to me. The other issue is

Thanks for your help in resolving this one. Knowledge (XXG) works by concensus, and it can sometimes be quite tricky to obatin one, but not in this case. Well done, by the way, on the Spon Lane Locks Branch and Soho Loop articles. I have added a kml template to one, and some imperial units to the

Hi Bob. Thank you for your message. The positioning of the template varies from one article to another. There doesn't seem to be any consistency throughout Knowledge (XXG) on the positioning of these types of templates and I couldn't find any guidance, but since the purpose of the template is to

Hi, I notice you have moved the BCN template from the bottom of a few of the BCN articles. I cannot find any discussion on such a change, and since there are hundreds of canal articles all with a similar template at the botton, wondered what your logic is. It is a particular problem on the BCN

Hi Shantavira. I hope you don't mind, but I made a couple of tweaks to your nascent canal articles. Knowledge (XXG) is international, so I added "England" to Birmingham, as not everyone who reads will know where Birmingham is. I have also added imperial units using the comvert template, in two

Hi, I'm currently working on improving the stub "Europe, the Middle East and Africa" and noticed that the stub classification has been changed to "???". I'm just wondering what this exactly means and what I can do to improve the stub to get it to a 'start class' or higher classification?

One option is to use the "autocollapse" option, which means it will show on shorter articles and hide itself on longer ones. I thought it was already set like this, hence my comments about shorter articles. It seems I was wrong.
