Also working on Creating Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki And plan to give some articles back to wikipedia, for missing items that are included in the Tractor Wiki scope. cheers - (BulldozerD11) Health WarningeditWarning WIKIPEDIA is Highly addictive and very good at dragging you off from the original course of what you were looking at as you follow interesting links.!!! |

Sheffield Companies List Box
editSeen the Box for Structures and thought it was a good idea, so have created a trial version for Sheffield Companies (see /Sandbox, as coverage of older local companies is poor, have found a few related article that were a bit orphaned, but a lot need articles creating for them. comments on the classifications to group firms in welcome.
Cleaned up & Cut down version at User:BulldozerD11/Sandbox/3 for comment, pre release.
Construction Companies List Box
editList of the Top Construction firms and related industries, (derived from footsie 250 List) & Construction news Table published annually. See here : /Sandbox2

Interest in these Wiki Projects
edit- {{WikiProject Sheffield}} - Tag any related articles with some edits if the Knowledge

- {{WikiProject Derbyshire}} -
Would Join but not editing a great HTML code page to do so!! (will tag articles of relevance). Joined after re-writing Members page in simple wiki code inplace of HTML.
Rant Bit
editAim to fill in some of the gaps in info if the AfD Wiki (Zelots) of that (article)s not worth including (as its no interest to them) dont get there first and snuff articles out (forgetting the basic 5 rules bit), but keep whole sections that are only half a story, or pure corporate publicity rip offs, but are more interested in punctuation & grammar. (rant over). Dont Delete - It improve it, even if it just bringing it to the attention of others with the knowledge, time, or patience to sort it out. If Ive added it to a WikiProject thats why.
Wiki Looks Simple But
editIt all looks so simple, Just Edit and add Bits, but then you find loads of rules:- codes to add, refs to sort out, Style, Projects, Links, etc. so if i get it wrong sorry but it was done with good faith and was trying to be BOLD. Just dont get worked up about my spelling, as its not my main concern, Knowledge and information more important to me.
