Interserve

Hi - Well done on your work on Interserve. I am just a bit concerned about the section starting "The Company Offers the following service provision:..." which does read a bit like an advert. Could you rewrite and condense a bit? Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 21:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations on your continuing good work on Interserve! I have a small suggestion regarding your section on notable construction projects: if you compare with articles in respect of other construction companies, e.g. Balfour Beatty, you will see that the articles give the date of completion for each of the projects. Would it be possible to insert the dates of completion here? Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 22:51, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. I think your suggestion of project completion dates will provide an excellent addition to the article, so will progress this as far as I can. Now to try and track down the dates and references! More generally I have hit a bit of a brick wall in terms of Company history in the period 1945 through to 1991, which is frustrating. I'm also struggling to understand the wiki image policy, which is delaying the addition of photos to improve interest and readability. For example, under what circumstances could I use the photos on this page http://www.thamestugs.co.uk/DUNKIRK.php which contains a copy of an interesting contemporary letter from TCDC on the Dunkirk evacuations? Best wishes. Doggoneone (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi - Regarding the wiki image policy, I am no expert on this but I do know that if you can find any official government images published prior to 1 June 1957 you can use them providing you apply a PD-UK Gov template - for example File:Tedder1943.jpg. Best of luck! Dormskirk (talk) 19:47, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Dormskirk. Sorry for delayed response, I've been immersed (loads of research) in overhauling and improving Norman Blackwell, Baron Blackwell article of late. Doggoneone (talk) 16:09, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
