hi[edit]

Your additions look fine to me... I have no problems at all. minor points are

west not W in a sentence
numbers less than twenty are spelt
refs are a useful defense against doubters ... you may need a tutor to get this as its a bit tricky to learn

Major point

Excellent to describe the embankment ... I never knew this. If you put minninglow into google images then you find that there were excavations of prehistoric stuff ... the early images should be ok to include...

and "Since you seem to be expert at this (and Derbyshire) " .... well I know a bit now,but I wasnt before I started doing editting on Derbyshire wiki articles. Hope to see more of you ,,always happy to help if you have a prob. Victuallers (talk) 15:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... I agree about refs.... sometimes its "London is the capital of England^{[citation needed]}", but its a defense against the pedants. Numbers up to 20... of yes wikirules and wikiguidance abound. Some users devote their time to arguing over these issues, but that is for pedants! I read the rule as 20 but it may have changed. If you search from the help button on the left then you can find a rule/guide for nearly everything. However wiki believes that "good" is better than nothing... it doesnt have to be perfect and the one rule that is important is that you are allowed to break the rules (If you think thats the important thing to do to benefit the project). Derbyshire could do with some help. My other interest is the "Did you know" section so if you expand the text by a factor of 5 or think you are going to create a new article with 1500 characters in less than 5 daya then I can show you how to get on the main page. Speak to you soon? Victuallers (talk) 11:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
