Merger proposal

edit

I propose that Wookey Station be merged into Wookey railway station. The latter covers the original use of the site; the former covers the present use. The two do not, in my opinion, require separate articles. I have chosen Wookey railway station to be the destination, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK stations). --Redrose64 (talk) 15:31, 13 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think that as regards infoboxes, the present use (SSSI) has priority, so {{Infobox Site of Special Scientific Interest}} should go at the top, with everything relevant filled in. The {{Infobox UK disused station}} can be added below that provided that it doesn't cause an acres-of-blankspace issue. Information which both infoboxes allow (image/caption, lat/long, gridref) should be placed in the first infobox and omitted from the second, to avoid unnecessary duplication. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've changed the image to show the site today, but File:Wookey goods shed 2010.jpg doesn't actually show the SSSI, which is where the ground has been cut into either side of the old line on the west side of the bridge. It can be glimpsed in File:St Cuthberts Paper Mill - geograph.org.uk - 99467.jpg but I don't think this is of sufficient quality to go in an infobox. Next time I'm in the area (which won't be for a while yet) I'll see if it is possible to get a picture from the approach road that shows both the northern side of the SSSI and the old goods shed.

As promised, I revisited the site and managed to take a picture that shows both the cutting and the goods shed. A tricky angle and it will never be a featured image, but I think it does the job. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:45, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
