Enigma rotors

Thanks for picking that error up; someone had introduced it last month, probably just vandalism. And welcome to Misplaced Pages! — Matt Crypto 10:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

No prob! Thanks for noticing Steve Hosgood 13:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

New Articles

Hi Steve could you please add content to the articles that you have created, as we can't have placeholder articles and they are at present eligible for speedy deletion for having no content or context, best Mo ainm~Talk 17:09, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Point taken - I didn't know placeholders weren't allowed. The point here was to try and tidy up on the existing mess where the BC bands were linked to pages explaining the amateur bands. I was hoping that others might get on with the filling in job! I intend doing some filling on the 49m page. I'll stop adding new pages for now, add just the 49m one (with content). Steve Hosgood (talk) 17:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem but also try to add to the ones you created even if only to stub level to prevent deletion. Mo ainm~Talk 17:15, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'll have to develop a suitable stub format first! Indeed - this is roughly what I was trying to do in the first place. 'Placeholder' obviously != 'Stub'... Give me some time to get it right at least. Steve Hosgood (talk) 17:29, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Add {{underconstruction}} to the articles to prevent speedy deletion tags being added. Mo ainm~Talk 17:37, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but someone reverted me already anyway! That's wikis for you, but there's constructive noises going on on the "Discussion" page for the 'shortwave bands' article anyway. Steve Hosgood (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clarification at Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions

Thank you for your edits , --Trevj (talk) 10:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Nice of you to say so! Thanks. I don't think I'm finished on that topic yet either. Steve Hosgood (talk) 10:55, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Worboys Committee for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Worboys Committee is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Worboys Committee until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gerardw (talk) 16:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I got a star? Whooo! I haven't had one of those since primary school! Seriously though, the curtain array page is still a work-in-progress. Got to add Bruce arrays and maybe others. But hey - thanks for noticing Steve Hosgood (talk) 11:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
