Talk:Wilmslow Road

message: I would appreciate some opinions on the bus corridor map I have provided.  e.g.
*Should I be using the rail-style route map icons?
*Is something better available?
*Would people appreciate more detail?
*What kind of detail?  Journey times?  Distances?  Route Numbers?  Routes which join and leave the corridor?

replies: text: It's a bit futile asking people not to change the entry... modifying the articles to improve them is how wikipedia works... In any case, some of the assertions you made require citations, or be written more encyclopedically (for example the statement that some operators had unroadworthy vehicles). --David Edgar (talk) 21:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear unsigned person.  I agree that the new text on the bus corridor contains useful information.  However, the way it is written feels more like a personal view than an encyclopedia entry.  Can you improve it?  Yaris678 (talk) 20:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The text hasn't been improved and so has been reverted.  I have added the one bit of useful information I could gleen from the text added by 62.60.98.134 - the fact that the competition is not as great as it used to be.  Yaris678 (talk) 00:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Bus Corridor

message: This article covers Oxford Street and Oxford Road as well as Wilmslow Road.  I have taken this concept from the artical as I found it.  I think that works well because It is all basically one road.  But it can be slightly confusing.  Can anyone think of a better name for the article or a way to clarify the situation concisely?

replies: text: I travel down this road every day. Cheadle Road turns into Wilmslow Road, and then in turn changes to High Street, Manchester Road, then back to Wilmslow Road in Parrswood. I changed the article to reflect this but it's been reverted back... – How do you turn this on (talk) 22:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I have just upped the classification of this article from stub to C. I admit that I may be biassed because I have done most of the changes recently so I would appreciate someone elses opinion on this.

message: The fact about there being a previous "Broadcasting House" on Picadilly seems unnecesary on a page about Wilmslow/Oxford Road.  Perhaps a stub page should be created for New Broadcasting House.  The pevious incarnation can be mentioned on that page.

message: Any reason for the addition of this section to the article?  It seems only tangentially related to Wilmslow Road.  Is it an attempt to save information that is due to be lost when the article Whitworth Park Halls of Residence is merged into the University of Manchester article?  A better approach would be to create an article specifically on University of Manchester accommodation as suggested at the AfD.  Yaris678 (talk) 11:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I have given Wilmslow Road a bit of a shaking- principally trying to make it into one (or potentially two articles) rather that an amalgam of C&P from Turnpike trusts and a bus article. I have left it so someone can say- lets fork this into Oxford Street and Wilmslow Road or leave it as it is. I will add a few coordinates to give it a bit of validity and give it a rest for the night.--ClemRutter (talk) 19:40, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
