BulldozerD11 now has internet access back (Feb 2009), but is working at reduced level on Wikipedia, till I clear a backlog of material for my Tractor Wiki project and my wikipedia watch list. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my lack of Vandal patroling & tweaking articles. |

My Creations[edit]
|
Seen 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.
List of the Top Construction firms and related industries, (derived from footsie 250 List) & Construction news Table published annually. See here : /Sandbox2
Aim 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.
It 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.
Articles to write/expand or find for local Companies list:-
