I take your point, but really it is up to ScotRail to approve a plaque. They may think it just as good an idea as I do, but if they say "Huh?" we should not be too disheartened. People who make trains run on time may not be travelling along the same intellectual tracks as we are. Besides, my experience with things of this nature is that although they attract great anticipation in advance and excitement when they occur, a few days later the fires of enthusiasm burn low. I cannot say that the media coverage has been as jubilant as one might wish for, and it is not a story with "legs", not unless the article becomes the subject of bitter sectarian conflict or something, which prospect seems remote at this juncture. I advise caution, but if the outside world shows interest, then we should send our most silver-tongued representative to make a pitch for a brass plaque. Peter (Skyring)

I suppose it could have a small permanent "footnote" stating that "This blackboard was provided by the WikiMedia foundation in commemoration of 'Jordanhill railway station' being the millionth article on the English edition of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" or something to that effect. -- Ilmari Karonen

At least it's a train station and not a bridge: we don't have to worry about trolls. On 3/3/06, Guy Chapman aka JzG <guy.chapman(a)spamcop.net> wrote:
