Disambiguation link notification for April 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doncaster rail crash (1947), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King's Cross. 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.

Hi. I'm really sorry I lost a couple of your good edits. The article needed to go a bit further back to lose the vandalism. Apologies. DBaK (talk) 08:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Hedon Aerodrome
Hi, thanks for creating the Hedon Aerodrome article. I was wondering if it may be possible to work in the railway station that served the racecourse? Keith D (talk) 22:37, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keith D Hi Keith; I did consider that, but the only reliable source was very scant on detail. Disused stations has one, but my book of The Lost Railways of Yorkshire's East Riding doesn't even list the station at all! Without an RS, I felt it safer to leave it out. If I can dig up more about the racecourse, then perhaps it would be easier - I did read somewhere that it had the longest straight in all of England, though again, that is without an RS. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 22:43, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Best I can find is a public notice that mentions it in the Stamford Mercury - Friday 24 August 1888 page 2. Keith D (talk) 23:02, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keith D It's in I Never Knew That About Yorkshire by Christopher Wynn; I just don't know the page number. The joy of all things (talk) 23:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Change of page name
Hi, I notice that the 'list of people who mysteriously disappeared' and the 'list of missing people' keeps getting changed. I find it very frustrating because I just changed the list of people who mysteriously to the list of missing people on many article pages and I don't want to have to do it all over again. I myself like the name the list of missing people better. Can we resolve this issue, so it doesn't keep getting changed back and forth? Also I need to ask you opinion of what should go on the missing person list and what should go in the solved cases list, because I am unsure sometimes of what should go in what category. Davidgoodheart (talk) 04:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Davidgoodheart Hi; first off the article was changed because one user requested it without first informing the community on the relevant talk page here. The 'Mysteriously' part is retained to separate out listings such as Lord Lucan and Jimmy Hoffa. Lucan intended to disappear, whereas Hoffa, presumably, did not, so Lucan does not get listed on the article page. Finally, in the solved cases; if a body is found or the person turns up alive (IE Agatha Christie) then it gets moved to the solved cases area. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 05:44, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- If someone is known have escaped from jail or kidnapped, but it is unknown what happened to them after that, what category should they be listed under? Davidgoodheart (talk) 06:43, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Kidnapped in the missing persons section. Escapees from jail should not be listed as they intended to disappear. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 07:46, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Davidgoodheart: Maybe you should've said something on the article's talk page then. It seemed as more people were in favour of the longer name. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 12:58, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Hedon Aerodrome
Hi! Could you please have a look at my addition to the Hedon Aerodrome page, and tell me what you think. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoyetu (talk • contribs) 11:20, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Zoyetu. Thanks for the additions, however, I have moved one of the images to the infobox and deleted the last ref about the plaque unveiling as the citation did not list the page number in the Yorkshire Post. Please feel free to re-add the citation providing you can supply the page number and ISSN of the paper. I have looked for an online version, but couldn't find it. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 14:03, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hello The joy of all things. I had found the article using PressReader, a digital newspaper distribution service. Unfortunately I cannot find the page number of the newspaper, however the link to the article as seen on the aforementioned website can be seen here: Link. I do not have an account with them, so I am unable to read all of the information. If you have access, this will display the page number of the article and you will then be able to attach this to the reference in the article. Cheers! Zoyetu (talk 29 Jul. 2017 16:11 GMT.
