Thanks Liam for the photo suggestions, there were a couple of other James Moores - a building material supplier and a bishop. so I might need to do a bit of research to see if these pics are of my railway engineer - at least one seems to be the right period at least. all the best. Garyvines ( talk) 09:05, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Liam. As an interstate resident, I can confirm the truth of the comment about tourism. I'll get back to you about a suitable reference. Any book about trams in Australia published since the 1970s would probably suffice. I don't mind you putting back into the article the English language reference for the size of the network. I removed it only because it was for 2008, not 2011. I agree with your idea about merging the sections about proposals, etc. Before you do that, you might want to consider moving the stuff about the proposals to some of the pages about the individual routes rather than deleting it altogether. (As I understand them, most of the proposals are for extending existing routes rather than building completely new ones, so material about a proposal to extend line X could be moved to the article about line X rather than deleted.) Finally, I was in Mel last weekend, and took some photos of trams in the city centre, but I haven't uploaded any to commons yet. One thing I noticed is that the Ws are now rarely seen, so it may be appropriate to change the photo in the infobox, perhaps to a B2 class, which I think is probably now the best candidate for being described as a "typical Melbourne tram".

Hi Liam. I am currently developing a new Template:Infobox tram route, for use on articles such as Melbourne tram route 96. The infobox is based on Template:Infobox bus line, and would be used in all of the articles about Melbourne tram routes in place of the existing Melbourne-specific infobox, which I think is not very attractive or informative. You can have a look at the prototype on my sandbox page, and I would welcome any comments (the infobox would also have a yarra trams logo at the top when included in the actual articles). If you want to see how the infobox looks on a real page, I've already put it into the English language articles about the Brussels tram routes, eg Brussels tram route 3, but I don't propose to put a coloured strip across the top of the infoboxes in the articles about the Melbourne tram routes.

Hey there, we've now managed to expand Transdev Melbourne to the extent that it is eligible for WP:DYK and can (hopefully) be placed on the front page of wiki. I wish to nominate it in both our names, but would like to sort a few little things out first. Firstly, what should the hook be? We need something short and catchy that is supported by the text of the article. I would like to ask if it can be held over until 1 August and run with the hook "...today Transdev Melbourne start operating 30% of Melbourne's bus network?", or something along those lines. But ideas would be good.
Secondly, I'd like to come to some consensus about destination names, I would prefer to use the names stated in the PTV timetables as: they indicate the actual suburb first, not the shopping centres brand name; they are verifiable through the PTV website; and they are sometimes broader and therefore more accurate (Box Hill comes to mind, true the station is in the shopping centre, but it also serves the railway station, and broader suburb), I would prefer:
Either piped or redirects could be used, to still send users to an accurate, specific page, but the locality would come first rather than shopping centre brand name. This will aid users when they sort the columns. You can reply here, on my talk page, or on the Transdev Melbourne talk page, I'll keep an eye on all of them.
Also, sorry if I've been standing on your toes a little, but two users editing simultaneously can sometimes cause conflicts. Liamdavies ( talk) 10:03, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi again,
Have you seen that CDC have bought Drivers bus routes? It might be worth creating a new article 'CDC Victoria', and merging at least the Melbourne operators into it (Eastrans/Westrans). Thoughts?
PS I'm having a little trouble figuring out exactly what buses Transdev will get vis a vis the tender document and bus Australia list, can you try to sort out the mess of a list I put on the talk page (I suspect that some of the separate models the Government lists might not actually exist), I can also take photos, living in the inner north. It would be good to get one of Drivers buses, but I'm a little far to be bothered. Are you anywhere near where they run?
Regards, Liamdavies ( talk) 16:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Reason I removed TransdevTSL wikilinks from KDR Melbourne was that the article was redirecting to Sydney bus operator Transdev Shorelink Buses. I have removed the redirection and commenced a new article, although does need expanding. Mo7838 ( talk) 11:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, why do you list Dysons as the sole owner of MBL, they do not own it 100%. Read articles from last year you'll see that, Dysons Directors still only own 50% of MBL and East West. I do not know where got that idea from, but it is very misleading Here's a quote from the link below "The Board of Directors of Reservoir Bus Group, together with the Board of Directors of the Dyson Group of Companies, are pleased to confirm the sale of Reservoir Bus Company and Midland Tours to the Dyson group of Companies." http://dysongroup.com.au/press-release and http://issuu.com/mediaflash/docs/ob_07nov12_bz "Rusell Ward Retires after 44 years with Reservoir Bus Comapny. He remains as Managing Director of Melbourne Bus Link, and continues his involvement with East West Bus Lines"
Rusell Ward, is one of the Directors, who is from RBC, He and all other Directors from RBC, kepted there shares in those 2 operators. No where has Dysons said they own 100% of East West or MBL. But if you want more proof, join BusAustralia forum, and one user there, who is a Dysons family member, even conformed the fact they don't know 100% of these 2 operators.
Like the user points out here http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=819651#p819651 "MBL & East West are completely seperate businesses. Operationally Dysons will take over the running of East West but stays as a seperate business."
Is that enough proof now, for you to stop editing and saying Dysons own 100% of these operators ( talk)
Seem be a lot of discussion here about what buses Transdev will have when start running the MBBF. It's rather simple, All MBL and National buses will go to Transdev, as well as most of the Ventura Smartbuses, expect for 6-8 which are kepted for Route 900. If you need anymore help with this, let me know. ( talk)
Ok then, I will not edit the Transdev Melbounrne Page, what a shame as my Fleet info was 99.99% correct. Well good luck, getting the information yourself. I run the Fleet Lists on Bus Australia, and if I want, I can chose to not keep it up to date. Then be much harder the get the information. Also you and Mo7838, need to learn, Dysons do not own MBL or East West, 100%. I suggest, you join, ATDB, and give member Dyso, a PM, as his a family member, he might be able to explain it you better. If They had of bought MBL, and East West, it would of been mentioned in the press release, but no, it only mentions, RBC, and Midland Tours, which RBC own. But maybe you want to see my staff letters too?
Wish you 2 good luck, cause you're going end up having a lot of information wrong, or hard time getting everything you. For Most they'd be better off looking at Bus Australia Site. MAN 16.242 ( talk
Sorry, I made up my mind, I'm gone, but don't come asking for my help, when takeover happens, and then you want fleet info. MAN 16.242 ( talk

Hi Liam
I have decided to start categorising consensusns images of Melbourne trams in similar fashion to the categorisation of Lisbon trams images. In particular, I propose creating categories for individual trams, eg commons:Category:Lisbon tram 571 (see also commons:Category:Trams in Lisbon by number). This raises an issue of nomenclature. Vicsig and a number of other websites identify individual Melbourne trams by class subtype, a dot, and then the individual number, eg D1.3501. However, I have noted that the names of images you have uploaded to commons omit the dot, eg W7 1005, as do some other people who upload images to the internet. Do you have any comment on which alternative is preferable for the naming of commons categories (ie which example is better: Category:MLelbourne tram D1.3501 or Category:Melbourne tram W7 1005?)?

Apologies for reverting your edit on the article on Humayun Abdulali. Rather than cavalier attitude, it is a case of misreading.

I realise that you have created the E-class Melbourne tram and have put a fair bit of work into it since. But from an outsider looking in, there is a fair bit that has become less relevant with the passing of time, or can be consolidated or just needs correcting, for example:
I have no intention on getting into a chapter and verse dialogue on every change, on what is fundamentally a sound article that just needs some tweaking. You and I have both been around long enough to know that blanket reversing of one another's posts is counter productive. Mo7838 ( talk) 11:13, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
The D-class already had PISs that display what route the tram is on, and - sometimes - showed the next stop. So to say they were fitted PIS isn't quite right, they more had their PISs upgraded; this is why I chose the wording I did. But the cites don't state that the PIDs were upgraded, just that stop announcements were being added. Is it WP:SYNTH to state that the PIS was upgraded?

Spambot has received updates. It's no longer an aggressive bot. The bot tags both the talk page and the main page. You can hide the tag on the main page by setting the invisible parameter to true. The tag will only become a category and the banner is suppressed. The bot won't ever change that. It explains that on the talk page. The only time the bot wars is to replace the tag, because it SHOULD be there to place it in a category.— cyberpower Limited Access Merry Christmas 12:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

We need something short and catchy that is supported by the text of the article. I would like to ask if it can be held over until 1 August and run with the hook "...today Transdev Melbourne start operating 30% of Melbourne's bus network?", or something along those lines. But ideas would be good.
Secondly, I'd like to come to some consensus about destination names, I would prefer to use the names stated in the PTV timetables as: they indicate the actual suburb first, not the shopping centres brand name; they are verifiable through the PTV website; and they are sometimes broader and therefore more accurate (Box Hill comes to mind, true the station is in the shopping centre, but it also serves the railway station, and broader suburb), I would prefer:
Either piped or redirects could be used, to still send users to an accurate, specific page, but the locality would come first rather than shopping centre brand name. This will aid users when they sort the columns. You can reply here, on my talk page, or on the Transdev Melbourne talk page, I'll keep an eye on all of them.
Also, sorry if I've been standing on your toes a little, but two users editing simultaneously can sometimes cause conflicts. Liamdavies ( talk) 10:03, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi again,
Have you seen that CDC have bought Drivers bus routes? It might be worth creating a new article 'CDC Victoria', and merging at least the Melbourne operators into it (Eastrans/Westrans). Thoughts?
PS I'm having a little trouble figuring out exactly what buses Transdev will get vis a vis the tender document and bus Australia list, can you try to sort out the mess of a list I put on the talk page (I suspect that some of the separate models the Government lists might not actually exist), I can also take photos, living in the inner north. It would be good to get one of Drivers buses, but I'm a little far to be bothered. Are you anywhere near where they run?
Regards, Liamdavies ( talk) 16:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Reason I removed TransdevTSL wikilinks from KDR Melbourne was that the article was redirecting to Sydney bus operator Transdev Shorelink Buses. I have removed the redirection and commenced a new article, although does need expanding. Mo7838 ( talk) 11:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, why do you list Dysons as the sole owner of MBL, they do not own it 100%. Read articles from last year you'll see that, Dysons Directors still only own 50% of MBL and East West. I do not know where got that idea from, but it is very misleading Here's a quote from the link below "The Board of Directors of Reservoir Bus Group, together with the Board of Directors of the Dyson Group of Companies, are pleased to confirm the sale of Reservoir Bus Company and Midland Tours to the Dyson group of Companies." http://dysongroup.com.au/press-release and http://issuu.com/mediaflash/docs/ob_07nov12_bz "Rusell Ward Retires after 44 years with Reservoir Bus Comapny. He remains as Managing Director of Melbourne Bus Link, and continues his involvement with East West Bus Lines"
Rusell Ward, is one of the Directors, who is from RBC, He and all other Directors from RBC, kepted there shares in those 2 operators. No where has Dysons said they own 100% of East West or MBL. But if you want more proof, join BusAustralia forum, and one user there, who is a Dysons family member, even conformed the fact they don't know 100% of these 2 operators.
Like the user points out here http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=819651#p819651 "MBL & East West are completely seperate businesses. Operationally Dysons will take over the running of East West but stays as a seperate business."
Is that enough proof now, for you to stop editing and saying Dysons own 100% of these operators ( talk)
Seem be a lot of discussion here about what buses Transdev will have when start running the MBBF. It's rather simple, All MBL and National buses will go to Transdev, as well as most of the Ventura Smartbuses, expect for 6-8 which are kepted for Route 900. If you need anymore help with this, let me know. ( talk)
Ok then, I will not edit the Transdev Melbounrne Page, what a shame as my Fleet info was 99.99% correct. Well good luck, getting the information yourself. I run the Fleet Lists on Bus Australia, and if I want, I can chose to not keep it up to date. Then be much harder the get the information. Also you and Mo7838, need to learn, Dysons do not own MBL or East West, 100%. I suggest, you join, ATDB, and give member Dyso, a PM, as his a family member, he might be able to explain it you better. If They had of bought MBL, and East West, it would of been mentioned in the press release, but no, it only mentions, RBC, and Midland Tours, which RBC own. But maybe you want to see my staff letters too?
Wish you 2 good luck, cause you're going end up having a lot of information wrong, or hard time getting everything you. For Most they'd be better off looking at Bus Australia Site. MAN 16.242 ( talk
Sorry, I made up my mind, I'm gone, but don't come asking for my help, when takeover happens, and then you want fleet info. MAN 16.242 ( talk

Hi Liam
I have decided to start categorising consensusns images of Melbourne trams in similar fashion to the categorisation of Lisbon trams images. In particular, I propose creating categories for individual trams, eg commons:Category:Lisbon tram 571 (see also commons:Category:Trams in Lisbon by number). This raises an issue of nomenclature. Vicsig and a number of other websites identify individual Melbourne trams by class subtype, a dot, and then the individual number, eg D1.3501. However, I have noted that the names of images you have uploaded to commons omit the dot, eg W7 1005, as do some other people who upload images to the internet. Do you have any comment on which alternative is preferable for the naming of commons categories (ie which example is better: Category:MLelbourne tram D1.3501 or Category:Melbourne tram W7 1005?)?

Hi. I've reverted some of your changes to Trams in Zurich. Please see Talk:Trams in Zurich#Image queue for my reasons. -- chris_j_wood ( talk) 10:43, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Apologies for reverting your edit on the article on Humayun Abdulali. Rather than cavalier attitude, it is a case of misreading. I thought you had changed the name of the caption of the image of the Eurasian Blackbird in the article. Later I realised you replaced not the caption but the file name with the new name. When I figured this out, I undid my own revert. Again, apologies. -- Rohini ( talk) 13:39, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I have acted on your statement on ANI and I have went through request pages, as well as the links you gave me and added them to the ignore list here. With that being said, the should no longer tag your pages with a tag or any page where the editors requested whitelisting. The instructions have been ameded in the template for future requests to also request exception on my page. And I have already demonstrated that I do respond quickly.

I realise that you have created the E-class Melbourne tram and have put a fair bit of work into it since. But from an outsider looking in, there is a fair bit that has become less relevant with the passing of time, or can be consolidated or just needs correcting, for example:
I have no intention on getting into a chapter and verse dialogue on every change, on what is fundamentally a sound article that just needs some tweaking. You and I have both been around long enough to know that blanket reversing of one another's posts is counter productive. Mo7838 ( talk) 11:13, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
The D-class already had PISs that display what route the tram is on, and - sometimes - showed the next stop. So to say they were fitted PIS isn't quite right, they more had their PISs upgraded; this is why I chose the wording I did. But the cites don't state that the PIDs were upgraded, just that stop announcements were being added. Is it WP:SYNTH to state that the PIS was upgraded?

Spambot has received updates. It's no longer an aggressive bot. The bot tags both the talk page and the main page. You can hide the tag on the main page by setting the invisible parameter to true. The tag will only become a category and the banner is suppressed. The bot won't ever change that. It explains that on the talk page. The only time the bot wars is to replace the tag, because it SHOULD be there to place it in a category.— cyberpower Limited Access Merry Christmas 12:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
