Hi,
Thank you for adding so much information about Charleroi's premetro system to the English wiki, and that you incorporate the pictures I made of premetro station. I really need to update the information on the Dutch wiki a lot.
In the page Pétria I notice that you put "Anderlues" as next station, but there is no "Anderlues" station or stop - that stop is Coron du Berger. The last stop on the line is called Monument, in - indeed - Anderlues.
Do you live in Brussels? Will you join the grand opening of the 3 new sections in - presumably - December this year?

Hi Tijmen,
Thanks for your kind words. I've now rewritten the main Charleroi Pre-metro page, trying to summarize the various sources of (reliable) information and sharing my own experiences with the Charleroi metro, while respecting the work of original authors by keeping the general article structure and key sentences.
I plan to add more details provided I find the time to collect and verify more information. Also, as the page will need updates as new sections are opened, I'm willing to write them provided no one else does it.
Your remark about the use of "Anderlues" as a station is absolutely correct. Anderlues is indeed not a station, and I should update the line definitions to include all the tram stops in Anderlues. However, this would require the creation of an article (be it a basic one) for each stop to stay coherent and allow the reader to click on every station to reach the related article. As I had no time to do it now, I chose to use "Anderlues" as a generic name for all the stops in Anderlues. On a related note, this is the way signs in Charleroi metro refer to the "Monument" terminus : they always show "Anderlues" rather than "Monument". Of course, you are right when one considers the big picture and I'm willing to update the line definitions and create the missing pages in the near future.
As for me living in Brussels, well, I officially live in Charleroi, but I work in the Brussels area, and live part time in Charleroi and (temporarily) part time in Brussels. I won't be at the opening in December as I won't be in Charleroi at that time.
Kind regards.

How do you spell it? Is it "Pre-metro", "Pre-Metro", "pre-metro" or "premetro"? I don't care, but please choose one and stick with it. There are articles, templates, categories and references with different spellings. I don't see the use of Pre-metro as a proper name in any references except what you have created here. The word premetro is sometimes used to decribe what type of system it is. Perhaps "Charleroi light rail" would have been a better translation, but if as you say "Charleroi metro" (or Metro) is what it is commonly referred to, as you have used in the Template:Charleroi Metro navbox, you could have stuck with that. Well - you can see the inconsistencies. I think a little renaming and cleanup is needed - but I will help. Thanks for the work you have done on this. Sw2nd ( talk) 23:22, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I agree that Pre-metro is a poor name. I don't like it but I use it as it was the original article title (that I didn't create myself). It's true that I haven't been extremely strict as to the use of a consistent name in all pages related to the Charleroi metro system. In my opinion, the best name should be metro (main article title should be Charleroi Metro if we want to remain consistent with e.g. the "Brussels Metro" article). Locals definitely refer to the system as "Métro" (full name: "Métro de Charleroi") in French.
Your help in establishing a coherent naming convention would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited R3 Ring road (Belgium), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Courcelles ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
