Salfords railway station

Salfords railway station serves the village of Salfords in Surrey, England. The station is sometimes shown as Salfords (Surrey) in timetables to differentiate it from the two stations in Salford, Greater Manchester. It is on the Brighton Main Line, 23 mi down the line from London Bridge via Redhill and is managed by Southern. Train services are provided by Thameslink and Southern.

The station has four lines running through it: two slow lines with platforms and two express lines that have no platforms. The ticket office is open weekdays from 6:30 am to 10:30 am. There is an on-demand service announcement facility. A PERTIS machine is provided. Journey times are around 45 minutes to London, 25 to Croydon, 7 to Redhill  and Gatwick Airport, 10 to Crawley and 20 to Horsham.

History
Salfords station was originally built in 1915 for workers at the Monotype Corporation, which had constructed a factory next to the railway line in 1899. From its opening on 8 October 1915 the train service was not advertised and sparse to meet the needs of Monotype Corporation staff. On 17 July 1932 the line was electrified on 750 Volts DC third rail and concurrently the station was served by a regular advertised train service. The station name, originally Salfords Halt, was simplified to Salfords on 1 January 1935.

Day Aggregates made use of the open land beside the station to store and transport their loose stones for construction in the area for some time. The sidings used still exist, including a bay platform at the station and most of the machinery used to expel and fill the wagons that transported the stone at the site. Network Rail have a site at the back of platform 1, using it as a base for the continuing improvements to the Brighton main line, in between Selhurst traincare depot and the Three Bridges engineering depot.

On 14 January 2008, the station received a minor upgrade. This involved the replacing of the wooden huts with modern glass waiting areas and the installation of dynamic digital displays with information about the next train. Southeastern ceased to serve the station from December 2008.

A second PERTIS machine was installed at the entrance to the Horley-bound platform by 2008. Help points were installed in February 2011 to both platforms.

The PERTIS machine on platform one has been replaced in August 2011 by the installation of quick ticket machine on this platform to facilitate buying of tickets out of hours.

Since 20 May 2018 Salfords is served by the Thameslink service between Bedford and Gatwick Airport.

Services
Off-peak, all services at Salfords are operated by Thameslink using EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 * 2 tph to Bedford via London Bridge
 * 2 tph to Three Bridges

During the peak hours, the station is served by an additional half-hourly Southern service between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport.

On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly but southbound services are extended beyond Three Bridges to and from Horsham.

Although the station is outside Greater London, Oyster Pay as you go and contactless payment cards are valid. However, the station is outside the London Fare Zone area and as a result, special fares apply.

Northeast 7th Avenue station

Northeast 7th Avenue is a light rail station on the Blue, Green and Red Lines in Portland, Oregon. It is the 9th stop eastbound on the Eastside MAX.

The station is located at the area of Northeast 7th Avenue and Holladay Street. The station primarily serves a large complex of Oregon government buildings and office buildings. From 2001 to 2012, this station was located within Fareless Square (renamed the Free Rail Zone in 2010), but the free-ride zone was discontinued in September 2012. Bus line 70-12th/NE 33rd Avenue stops nearby on 9th Avenue.

The station also provides a connection with Portland Streetcar's Loop Service (called the Central Loop until 2015), with southbound streetcars (the A Loop) crossing the MAX tracks just west of the platform and serving a stop one block to the north (stop ID 13611).

Due to major building construction adjacent, the station was temporarily closed for more than one year in 2014–2015. As of mid-March 2014, the closure was scheduled to begin on March 31, 2014, and last about one year. As of April 23, 2015, the station was scheduled to reopen on May 3, 2015.

On November 15, 2023, the station was the location of an unusual crash and double derailment between a MAX red line train and a streetcar, injuring two.

Hair rig

The Hair rig is a fishing method which allows a bait to be presented without sitting directly on the hook. It is mainly associated with boilies, but also works effectively with many other baits. The Hair-Rig became popular in the 1980s and was the joint invention of Len Middleton and Kevin Maddocks.

It has been experimented with by many anglers, and has revolutionised carp fishing.

At the beginning, natural hair from Len's wife's head was used because Len's own hair was far too curly. Hence the name, "hair-rig", to attach the bait to the hook after many 'tank test' experiments with captive carp carried out in Len's home. Before that all sorts of other materials were tried but human hair worked from the start. Human hair was very discreet and the carp seemed unaware of it when picking up bait attached to it, and also taking in the hook, but it was a little fragile. In tests, the carp only took the free offerings and left the hook bait if the bait was not attached to a 'hair'. Human hair was also a problem because anglers sometimes lost their baits when casting. These problems have been solved with the appearance of braided thread, a new material that allows threads to be as discreet as natural ones but more resistant to breaking. However, many believe, that the whole concept works because the hook is not buried in the bait, as when fishing for other fish species, and due to the carp`s feeding method of sucking and blowing, the sharp hook point catches in the mouth or lips. A heavy semi-fixed lead sinker (2 ozs upwards) then pulls the hook into the flesh and usually the fish bolts off in alarm, so this is a very effective self-hooking rig, with no need for the angler to 'strike' as in the past. Many variations of the 'Hair-Rig' are now used by carp anglers and most of these are not like original 'hairs' at all, but 'Hook Out' rigs designed to allow the bare hook to catch in the mouth or lips.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Yref. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Yref~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Convention Center station (TriMet)

Convention Center station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue, Green and Red Lines in Portland, Oregon. It is the 8th stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX, having not been built when the original line opened, in 1986. It was built to serve the Oregon Convention Center, which did not exist when the MAX line opened, and was completed and opened in the same month as the Convention Center, September 1990.

The station is located on Northeast Holladay Street at its intersection with Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Although the station primarily serves the Oregon Convention Center, and the main entry to that building faces the light rail station, there are also a number of hotels immediately east and also north of the station.

From 2001 to 2012, this station was located within Fareless Square (renamed the Free Rail Zone in 2010), but the free-ride zone was discontinued in September 2012.

Portland Streetcar connection
Southbound streetcars on the Portland Streetcar's Loop Service (called the CL Line until 2015), or A Loop cars, to the Central Eastside district and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), serve a stop located about 1,000 feet south of this station, on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., on the Convention Center's east side (stop ID 5912). Northbound/eastbound streetcars on the same line, B Loop cars, to the Pearl District and the West End of downtown, serve a stop about 400–500 feet from this station, on NE Grand Avenue just south of Holladay Street (stop ID number 2175).

Bus line connections
This station is served by the following bus line:
 * 6-Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

Nelson Mandela and Category:Terrorists
Assigning someone to the category of "terrorists" seems inherently POV and I doubt this is the consensus view of Nelson Mandela.

Regarding your suggestion, if you wanted to create a new category of Category:Former terrorists, I suppose you could add Nelson Mandela to it, but don't forget Yasser Arafat and maybe Menachem Begin, Jomo Kenyatta, and probably others. Even here though, there is room for endless POV debate. -- Curps 20:49, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Comprehensive Smoking Education Act? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 20:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, thanks for your reply. The only problem with other people retro-fitting references after the event is that it's a lot easier for the original contributor to list the references (s)he actually used to write the article. Adding references after the event seems the wrong way around to me. Lupin|talk|popups 21:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello again! I apologize if you think I'm trying to get that article deleted - that's far from my intention. I was simply requesting that you list the sources you've used to create the article, and to make you aware of the need to do so. Since you were the major contributor to the article, you seemed like the natural person to ask. I would like to strongly encourage you to list your sources with your contributions, but as you say, you are of course free to contribute in whatever manner you wish.

"Conspiracy theory" title neutrality proposal 2.0 voting has begun
See here and Title Neutrality. zen master T 20:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your vote. If you could keep an eye on this, there seems to be a highly coordinated effort to stifle the proposal (I may illegitimately be blocked for 3RR). Also, it would be good if you could let other people know of the proposal, we need to bring in new people to the discussion to help us work toward consensus. zen master T 21:07, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and Marx.
Hi:  Thanks for the picture compliment. It would be more accurate to say I disagreed with "almost all" of what Marx said because I would indeed agree with the statement "Machinery is knowledge objectified" -- but it just doesn't have the same "upmh" I was looking for. I'm looking to discuss socialism/communism with a true believer down here in South Florida. Do you know anybody? Lawyer2b 20:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I added a citation request for an edit you made regarding Noam Chomsky on Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy. Was wondering if you could provide some sources. Thanks! :-) Lawyer2b 05:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Crashspace for two Icelanders
Greatings! My name is Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð, me and my friend Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason need a crashing space for 7 nights. We are both bureaucrats at the Icelandic Wikipedia and Ævar is a MediaWiki developer so we will probably be attending Hacking Days as well. The question is, can you put up with two weird Icelanders for 7 nights (from 31 July to 7 August)? We are still at early planing, so nothing is certain yet, we will however be at the end of the month I suppose. Is 7 nights to much? --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 21:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Crash space for a Dutchie
Hi! It's not sure yet, but I hope to be at Wikimania 2006. I'm going to present some ideas about starting a political party based on wiki ideas, some software to access Wikipedia on the Nokia 770, and possibly tell something about Wikipedias in languages such as Quechua, Wolof, Bambara and Fulfulde. Currently I'm living in Lima, but after Wikimania I will continue my travels in the US and Canada, hitchhiking and CouchSurfing. Please let me know if you have some couch or place on the floor for me during Wikimania, possibly At kasper DOT s oure n AROBASE gmail dotcom. Guaka 23:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hundredth Monkey
I've responded to your query on Talk:Hundredth Monkey. According to this site no, the yam-washing phenomenon did not spread across islands (or even across troupes of monkeys), and in fact the source of this meme had no contact with the original researchers. -Nakamura2828 03:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

an editor is engaging in a pro-monsanto lobbying effort on the glyphosate page
hi there! i have made several edits to the glyphosate page (an herbicide made by monsanto)...i have added material supportive of monsanto and their product...i have also added material from greenpeace and their concerns with the product (which they back with scientific material). This editor "Ttguy" repeatedly removes anything that is not pro-monsanto...he first tries to say its not referenced...which it is...he then tries to just remove the references themselves...i have tried to maintain balance on the page yet i am finding it very difficult in the face of a monsanto lobbiest editor...the page has a right to have the product manufacturers facts and references...it also has a right to have the questions and scientific studies and documents that give info that might not be as flattering of the product as the manufacturers description...i am now seeking aid from other editors as he continually removes material from the page that is referenced and this is vandalism, and he is trying to get other editors to gang up on me now...he only edits in a narrow spectrum promoting monsanto products and GM foods...i try and edit in a wide spectrum of issues, i dont even edit the GM food page yet once noted it is being subject to lobbiest editors removing critical material...he has a right to enter info that supports his stance...he has no right to continuously remove the other sides material...he is deliberately removing and erasing all criticisms of various products...this is not good faith editing...i have tried to edit on these issues from a neutral perspective, and for instance i am pro-GE tech when there is a vocal critical lobby that is not silenced, so the technology is truly productive and we avoid damaging incidents...Benjiwolf 16:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Expected rate of inflation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Finngall  talk  17:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Paul Bonicelli
In the article, you said Paul Bonicelli was "recently appointed" to some position. Please try to avoid the adverb recently in contexts like this. I read it today, you wrote the article a year and a half ago. That isn't recently to me. Can you please update it and least give a month/year of appointment? Otherwise people will be reading the article 5 years from now and thinking he was just appointed. Thanks. 172.130.4.105 12:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I stand and applaud
I read your idea of Wiki being the answer to everything and I wholeheartedly agree. The more involved, the more successful it can become. Perhaps in the next 50 years... I've done much thinking on the idea but I'm very unsure as to the progress of a structured "wiki government." Are there any papers or ideas as to how it could be implemented, changed, safeguards (or understanding of many lack-therof), etc.? Anyway I just wanted to say that I look forward to reading more of your posts and it's nice to see others who see a true potential for a wiki-based government, among other things. Cheers.

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Bonicelli

A tag has been placed on Paul Bonicelli requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20081114222813/http://www.usaid.gov/about_usaid/bios/bio_pbonicelli.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Squirtle. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Squirtle~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Earlswood railway station (Surrey)

Earlswood railway station serves Earlswood, south of Redhill, in Surrey, England. It is on the Brighton Main Line, 21 mi down the line from London Bridge via Redhill and south of the junction between the Redhill line and the Quarry line. Train services are provided by Thameslink and Southern.

History
Earlswood station was opened by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway on 1 August 1868. The station was rebuilt with four platforms in 1906 at the time of the quadrupling of the main line. The platforms on the fast lines were closed in the 1980s.

On 11 January 2016, payment using Oyster and contactless payment cards was introduced at the station, as part of the Oyster extension from Merstham to Gatwick Airport. The station is outside the London Fare Zone area, and special fares apply.

Some Oyster photocards (as well as Freedom Passes) are not valid here: the nearest station that these cards can be used is Coulsdon South, only in the northbound direction.

Services
Off-peak, all services at Earlswood are operated by Thameslink using EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 * 2 tph to Bedford via London Bridge
 * 2 tph to Three Bridges

During the peak hours, the station is served by an additional half-hourly Southern service between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport.

On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly but southbound services are extended beyond Three Bridges to and from Horsham.
