Avoiding links to dab pages
[edit]Hallo, Thanks for adding the infobox to Beryl (company), but you added an ambiguous link to Bath. Here's my boiler-plate message ...
There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 12:38, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
[edit]
Hello MRSC!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

GeoJSON
[edit]So I noticed you made the GeoJSON page for Airfield ward. My question is how did you get the data for the 1978 boundaries? TheHaloVeteran2 (talk) 12:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Some of them have been published by the ONS / UK Data service [1] but watch out for older ones marked "synthetically generated" as they are far too imprecise. There are maps of the 1965 boundaries here. [2] MRSC (talk) 14:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Template issue
[edit]Are you aware of the almost-blanking of the template you originally created and filled many years ago?
See... EDIT:974255512.
Was there any discussion before this was done? I am not aware of any.
This template was very useful as it originally listed every UK prefix, by type, in a very compact format, with links out for specific types and examples.

Amendments to Upminster Tithe Barn
[edit]Hi there. Thanks for the changes you are currently making to this article. I am sure it will be much improved when you have finished. At present, you have made 42 amendments in about 16 hours. This means a huge list of changes in the page's history, and a lot of work for others who are watching the page. Could you possibly consider drafting up all your planned changes using your sandbox, and then doing a single update? Thanks. Masato.harada (talk) 11:42, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- No. MRSC (talk) 11:43, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) This is a genuine problem - making lots of small edits in a short space of time causes problems with watchlists and makes it difficult to read histories. Please consider either making one large edit or using your sandbox. Danners430 (talk) 11:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- No. MRSC (talk) 11:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

LT&SR
[edit]Hi - I see you have been working on a number of LT&SR stations recently. I am currently working on Benfleet and then working towards Shoeburyness mostly to expand the history sections and add operations (Goods/Signals/Timetables and Industrial sidings). I know you have changed a few thing so I will try and pick them up when I rework any articles but if you do see something I have deleted please let me know. Thanks also for the improved nationalisation text - I did have the (original) text on Fenchurch Street but its been deleted so be careful. Best. Davidvaughanwells (talk) 18:37, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hello. Thanks for the message. I'm planning on working mostly on the stations in Greater London, including the ones that are now District line and London Overground stations. So we should have them all covered between us. No doubt there will still be some crossover. MRSC (talk) 19:39, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
- Great - I'll continue east and then see if I can add anything to the ones you're doing. My main source is the Peter Kay set on the LT&SR with some Middleton Press as well. Thanks Davidvaughanwells (talk) 14:56, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
