Terence Knox ↗ edit



I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Terence Knox ↗. I appreciate your effort to improve the article, but IMDb is not a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles. Please see WP:IMDB ↗ for comments regarding that status. You might also want to read WP:USERGENERATED ↗ to see names of a few other sources that are similarly unreliable.

Station postcodes?



I don't think Metro stations need postcodes. Each one already has a map link, so what value does the postcode add? You don't see them on any mainline stations, nor do you see them on London Underground stations - other than maybe the first part, e.g. W1, EC2, E17, etc. I think it's a level of detail we just don't need. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:16, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

:Fair enough, I just saw the field name 'address' and the station info pages on the Nexus website include the postcodes. I'll change it to show just the postal district (e.g. NE1). DrFrench (talk) 18:05, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
::That sounds like a good plan. Thank you. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:09, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
