Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Trams/Archive 1

message: Not stirring trouble here, this is from experience when another WikiProject started up...
Has the  template been 'approved' by the 'Stub sorting' WikiProject?
I can quite understand why the UK Trams Project would benefit from a stub template, but creation of  these is supposed to be tightly controlled. From memory, you would need to identify 60+ articles in (say) 'UK Rail stubs' that could be reclassified as tram stubs.  If you can do this, then there should not be too much of a problem. If you cannot do this, or you haven't yet received 'permission', expect to see a TfD raised against the template.
NB - the chosen template name is clear and unambiguous (even if the chosen icon is not!), so it should be acceptable, however the capitalisation is wrong ('stub' should be lower-case) so it will need to be moved sooner rather than later.  
NB2 - you seem to have created TWO stub categories ( , ). (a) these also fall within the remit of WP:STUBSORT and (b) (from experience) only the cat for stubs is acceptable; the cat for PROJECT stubs is not appropriate for various reasons, but mainly that it will have 100% overlap with the other cat!

replies: text: yeh well as ive sai ive left wp as i states above who gives a ******* damn? i used to like wikipedia - no i think its jst using up internet bandwidth. block me, ban me, whatever, certain individuals have really annoyed me. so if you want you can do it. but, it is just a few individuals. i enjoyed editing wikipedia, letting others in n info etc, but now, Whats The Point?

replies: text: They were pretty obvious to me;  hence the benefit of said centralised discussion (see above).  At any rate, I've put these, and a number of other UK transport-related stub types for renaming, rescoping and/or deletion at Stub types for deletion/Log/2007/August/20.  Please comment, and help resolve, one way or the other.  Alai 22:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh well, comments that have been made there seem to be good if you ask me, and I have added about 40 stubs, without even exploring ones that are classified under metros. Please continue to support this template! Bluegoblin7 11:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi. I have noticed that this project is within the scope of Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport who can be a parent project and provide assistance with your project if you wish.  Thanks. Tbo 157talk 22:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. I think that that would be a good idea. And streetcars perhaps. And, related projects should be bus and train (uk and normal) Bluegoblin7 11:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the main page of Wikipedia:WikiProject Streetcars, this project is already a child project.Tbo 157talk 11:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I don't know who did that - I didn't. In actual fact, it's more a 'sister' project. Streetcars are US/Canada etc. Trams are UK. Bluegoblin7 12:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the name of the project, the project does cover trams worldwide so it is a parent project in my opinion.  Tbo 157talk 12:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I suppose if that's the case then it can be. Transport can be one to, can't it? Also, if there are any portals on any of these projects, can you please add them to related portals. Thanks, Bluegoblin7 12:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
