53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --

terms of my edits is derived from the NESCO and M&M collections in the Tyne & Wear Archives Service (TWAS). I and a colleague completed earlier this year the cataloging of the Newcastle Corporation Transport (NCT) collection for TWAS, which contains the material for the NCT Manors power station, as well as cataloging some new material for the M&M collection. I would suggest that a generic reference is added to all the NESCO-operated power stations pointing to the various TWAS collections. TWAS do provide a pretty good online catalogue, so I feel it is not unreasonable to expect anyone researching these topics to do a bit of legwork for themselves. I'm not sure if details of the NCT collection have been made public yet, but it represents several weeks of intensive work at TWAS.

be some way of collaborating. Part of the project is giving the collections an online presence and wikipedia seems the best place to make that happen. I have access to a seemingly unlimited supply of images and resources and it's difficult to know where to start. I noticed in your to-do list there is reference to a 'South Shields Power Station' article. We have the original switchgear from this power station in our collection and I could provide you with images of this and access to literature about it in our library. Let me know if you're interested.

Fintan, you request that I provide citations for the various edits I've made to Manors, Neptune Bank and Carville power stations. I have been researching the history of electric supply in the north east and the electric railways of the NER for more than fifty years. Virtually all of my information in

I'm brand new to wikipedia but wanted to get in touch regarding your articles on power generation in the North East. I'm currently working on a project to create an accessible store in the Discovery Museum to showcase our collections related to electrical engineering and was sort of hoping there may

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Knowledge's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience.

relying heavily on them without other sources to confirm can lead to serious errors with information being taken out of context. I have heard some editors argue that one should not use any source that one has not read in its entirety. As I say, it is not going to stop the GA, but just so you know.

before we started cleaning it up. Don't suppose you have Darlington-related book sources? I've got the article pretty well written and cited, but only working with online sources and the odd newspaper article, I'm sure it could be improved with input from a published history of the club or whatever.

As to GA, I'd have finished off the stadium section and taken it to GA myself if it wasn't for the stability criterion: "it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute". Don't know if you've read the talk page and the edit history, but pretty well

Forgive me if I am wrong in this, but I am beginning to suspect that you only have access to the sources through Google snippet view. While I won't hold this against you in the GA, you should be aware that this is a rather dodgy way of sourcing articles. While an odd snippet might be useful,

Hi Fintan Just to say as the recently in post Tyne & Wear Museums Wikimedian in residence that I think you will find Toni's interest in the power stations really useful to your interests. I know we have not met yet but maybe on the 15th September as I have also put that in the diary.

There's a link to a source, but unless I misunderstand, the link only displays the cover and a very few other pages of a publication whose p.15 is cited. Anyway, whether or not my inexperience with Google is to blame, I can't view the source and therefore have to ask you about this. My

I'll hold my hands up now and say yes I do only access those articles through Google snippet view, but I do so in such a way that I get the majority of the information in the articles, and only contribute to Knowledge from the information gained if I have it in enough context.

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking

One thing though, please could I suggest that if a citation only covers the first half of a sentence, you don't move it to the end. You have done in a few cases, and it makes it look like it verifies the whole sentence when it doesn't. thanks,
