Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Union Pacific 4014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metrolink (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to NBR S class does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Timothy Titus Talk To TT 23:32, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

On Reading 2102 you tagged it for cleanup due to unreliable references. Could you put more details on the talk page? Thank you. RJFJR (talk) 05:42, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
The reason I tagged the page, is because I felt the page contains Fan sites that were cite as unreliable sources. Trains13 (talk) 16:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Canadian National 6060, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Artem.G (talk) 17:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Thanks for your edits today on the construction updates for the WDWRR. They were well-written, and the citations were formatted perfect; however, the author of both citations, blogmickey.com, is a clear example of self-published work with no apparent editorial oversight and hence is not suitable to be used in a featured article (see: WP:NOTRELIABLE). Unless you can find alternate sources that are reliable, this new info will unfortunately have to be deleted. Allowing sources like this to remain in the article could potentially lead to a quality review of the article that could remove its featured status, and I'd prefer to avoid that.

Atlantic306 (talk) 21:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Why is it that you removed the modifications list I gave the GSMR 1702 page, but left the modifications lists in the pages for other locos, like R&N 425, GCRY 4960, SPLC 28, and N&W 475, alone? Also, I’ve been recently planning to add more detail to the history section of the 1702 page, since I want to make more existing steam loco wiki pages as detailed as possible, but first, I must know whether you think that idea is unnecessary or not. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 00:25, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi. There are drafts for CP 1201, 2839, and 2860, and they all need to be taken care of. I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia pages, but I do know that a page for 1201 deserves to be made. I have added stuff to it, but I don't know the locomotive that well, which is why I was wondering if experts like you could finish it off. I also know enough to see that the pages for 2839 and 2860 aren't necessary, since a page for the Royal Hudsons already exists. Could you please do something about these? If you would, thank you, but if you won't, it's fine, I'll ask someone else. 23.169.64.51 (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
I literally said you don’t HAVE to take care of all of ALL of them! Just SOME. Do you even read everything thrown at you?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.169.64.51 (talk) 02:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

This user called Doncram has been building up Draft:Preserved locomotives in the United States and Draft:Preserved locomotives in Canada , but they both seem to be incomplete. If you have the time and interest, could you maybe help improve these drafts, anyhow? 47.223.120.112 (talk) 01:37, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
I never added any sources that came from YouTube, Facebook, or Railpictures, but you say that all of the other sources I’ve added are unreliable anyway?! I’m sorry, but you’re fixing to make me rage quit. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 15:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Well…at least let me ask this. How come you deleted the mod lists from 1702, 4960, and 29, but you’re keeping the lists on 425, 475, and 90, in which the latter three have zero sources? Someone who likes train writing (talk) 18:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Locomotive 1309 has had “Super Choo” written on her smokebox since July 18th, 2022. WM202 (talk) 02:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Please remove the “Maryland Thunder” nickname as it is only used by unofficial sources not associated with the railroad. WM202 (talk) 16:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
Remember this when “Super Choo” merch is released by the railroad and not “Maryland Thunder” merch. Maryland Thunder was a short lived name given by a newspaper that everyone rolled with until the shop crews decided on Super Choo. When the new merch is released I expect to be able to change the nickname to Super Choo as per the wishes of the railroad and its employees. WM202 (talk) 18:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
On the page Savannah and Atlanta 750, you used a source from the website "Medium". This is a blog site, much like wordpress, and has already been marked as not reliable in the [1] perennial sources table. I'm writing to let you know that you should replace it as soon as possible. Replacing the source with 'citation needed' is sufficient for now, until a suitable source is found. Gorden 2211 (talk) 10:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
When adding new images to a featured article, and it's from Flickr, check to ensure whether commercial use and mods are allowed for the image. If they are not allowed, they can't be used. It's one of the many quirks I learned that you have to watch for when I raised this and a few other articles to featured status. Jackdude101 talk cont 13:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
I hope this isn’t too much trouble, but I need a little bit of advise. I am currently working on a page for a steam locomotive called Huntingdon and Broad Top 38, and in that page, I have mentioned that the locomotive participated in the 1985 NRHS convention. However, the only good source I could find was from wordpress, and well, you once told me that wordpress is unreliable for Wikipedia. That's why I am debating on whether I should add that source anyway, or add this one, instead. https://www.online-estatesale.com/Listing/Details/553368 .

Yo, I know you can see this message. While I was banned from editing Wikipedia, I’ve been thinking. I haven’t been honest with you or anyone lately. I’ve pulled all those “disruptive” edits, because although I do add real life info to certain pages, I also just wanted to have fun trolling around every once in a while. I now realize that was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. Wikipedia is an informative encyclopedia, and not a trolling site like Reddit is. I am sorry for being so rude to ya, Trains13. And I would also like to take a moment to apologize to User:Trainsandotherthings, User:Someone who likes train writing, and User:Davidng913 for my bad behavior.

Hey, do you know how to block a user from editing Wikipedia pages? I ask, because user JimmyHook won't stop restoring the Modifications lists on the 4960, 29, and 18 articles, and it's already getting on my nerves. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 16:01, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am a professional steam enthusiast, working for the East Broad Top Foundation. I couldn’t help but notice there are plenty of Wikipedia drafts about each of the surviving EBT 3ft-gauge steam engines, and nobody seems to be making any real effort to turn any of them into informative, encyclopedic pages. I also noticed you completely corrected pages about other engines and even helped nominate the one about UP Big Boy 4014 as one of the good Wikipedia articles. That’s why I’m asking you if you could please construct all of the EBT engine drafts into proper articles whenever you catch the chance, that way people can learn more about each survivor without having to look at one of EBT’s own websites, and do so while looking at proper grammar. Here is a source from jstor.org that could hopefully help out. https://www.jstor.org/stable/43518100?searchText=East%20Broad%20Top%20locomotives&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DEast%2BBroad%2BTop%2Blocomotives&ab_segments=0%2FSYC-6646_basic_search%2Fltr&refreqid=fastly-default%3A48449f8bd83c8386760df604bcf96557 If this source isn’t enough, you can always try searching on Google books, as well. 2601:680:C401:DC90:C0F4:4689:E5A:33BA (talk) 01:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Your recent editing history at Norfolk and Western 475 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 03:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Hey. Just to let you know, I've been starting to add quotes to history segments of steam engine articles. In your opinion, is that a bad thing, or is it good? 23.169.64.51 (talk) 05:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Question. Why do you keep nominating Wikipedia articles on steam engines with these GA nominees?

I just now finished completely remaking LS&I No. 18’s page. Would you like to help me copy-edit it? I got a sense you have a soft spot for this locomotive, since I noticed you edited it a few times before. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 07:19, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Steamtown National Historic Site. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello there. It’s me again. Some anonymous user just listed me a bunch of steam engine drafts that are mostly un-noteworthy and improperly sourced, and he’s asked me to edit them all.
Included in that list are Draft:Norfolk and Western 1240, Draft:Norfolk and Western 2174, and Draft:Norfolk and Western Class Y6b. I don’t know if you’re that big of an expert with most N&W steam locomotives, but could you judge whether or not these particular drafts are notable enough to be their own pages or not? Or at least if you know if they have enough published sources to back them up? Someone who likes train writing (talk) 05:06, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello, 611fan2001. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Great Dismal Swamp train wreck, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
I know I’ve been an idiot and a screw up for the majority of last year, and I’ve been such a repugnant to you, in particular, and for that, I’m really sorry. For the remainder of this year, I’m only going to make meaningful contributions to pages about steam locomotives, and sometimes, railroads in general. I know you may not want to forgive me after all the crud I’ve fed you, but I’m still going to ask you this once; what would it take for you to trust me again?
You don’t have to answer that question, if you don’t want to. I just want to leave this message here to let you know that I’m changing my ways for good. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 01:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Dan arndt (talk) 02:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Alright, I’m sorry about the disastrous edits on the Walt Disney World Railroad page. I’m still confused as to the sources about the locomotives as I try to figure out which are official and which aren’t. I’ll leave the sources to you at this time. But I will admit that I’m still curious as to why we can’t include the Steam Giants pages for Roger and Roy if Walter and Lilly can use theirs. Just saying… Davidng913 (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
As you neglected to provide an edit summary when you reverted my reversion of your change, please explain how "was misaimed" is better wording than simply "missed"? Thanks! DonIago (talk) 14:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
