Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grand Canyon Railway 4960, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boiler tube. 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.)

Hey there, I just wanted to say that I’m grateful for the recent pages you wrote on steam locomotives recently. If you have the chance, it would be also great if you’re able to help us write about the UP 5511. With its recent acquisition by the RRHMA, I thought you would also be able to help us write about that locomotive, including its history and the planned restoration that will bring it back into service. There’s a draft for it now that can be found at Draft:Union Pacific 5511. Help us out if you can. Thanks a lot again for your work! Davidng913 (talk) 14:05, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Sure. I can write about the locomotive as much as I can, and be sure that it’s detailed enough to be public. I really appreciate the compliment regarding what I have written recently! Thank you. I’ll see what I can do about that 5511 page. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 15:50, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Don't add a new information about No. 148 double-heading with No. 972 until you give it a very reliable source. I've removed it because YouTube is not a reliable source. You'll be free to add it back, once you've cited this information found on ONLY one of the train books or magazines.  Trains13 (talk) 01:09, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Unfortunately, that and a link from Grassroots Railroad Sports, which contains people explaining plenty of bits of 148’s history, are the only sources I could ever find online about this semi-infamous doubleheader outside of Railpictures. If I ever find a source about it from a book or magazine, I’ll put that in the 148 page. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 01:21, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
The number one consideration is to prevent an article from being removed with all of the unsourced information needed to remove and the section of many modifications has none of them. In my opinion, some of these bits of "modification" information should be part of the history section and the GSMR 1702 page needs to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. That's the reason why I've removed the modification section of the GSMR 1702 page in the first place. Trains13 (talk) 01:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
I left citations at the very beginning of the list in 4960’s page, plus one near the end of it. Last I checked, most of them were from official GCRY employees. In order to bring the modification list back, must I duplicate the reliable sources throughout the page? Also, the reason why I made modification lists in the first place was because I was feeling inspired by the lists already in the Strasburg 475 and 90 pages.

Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability of train stations may be of interest to you. It involves whether train stations are automatically included in the encyclopedia. Djflem (talk) 06:31, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Hey i find myself going through Category:Preserved steam locomotives of the United States to remove that category, because a more specific category such as Category:Preserved steam locomotives of California applies, and in most or all cases was already added by you, as in this edit. It's not a big deal, and your edits definitely help either way, but i wish you had removed the broader US category in those edits. I think (do you agree?) that the current, usually "permanent" location of a preserved locomotive is the one location/state that is relevant, and all the state categories are subcategories of the US one already, so the US category in each article is duplicative. I am interpreting "of California" as "in California" and may request changeover of all "of"s to "in"s. "Of" seems vague and could mean any state in which the locomotive operated, rather than just the one state where it is. What do u think, and do u want to be invited to a CFD discussion for that? This cleaning up categories is part of my trying to develop list-article now in draft at Draft:Preserved locomotives in the United States. Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Gusfriend (talk) 07:55, 29 August 2022 (UTC)How goes it Someone Who Likes Train Wring? Look I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but is there by any chance if you could fix 7470’s status on the Conway Scenic Railroad article from "Out of Service; undergoing repairs" to "Operational"? Because it has since returned to service again ever since the cab has been fixed after the fire incident. Is it ok if you can fix it by any chance? I tried to fix it myself, but the page is protected from vandalism. 2603:3005:1504:F000:402B:99F1:3AEB:72B3 (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2022 (UTC) 2603:3005:1504:F000:402B:99F1:3AEB:72B3 (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
The Canadian National 7470 article is actually not what I meant by its status, I meant can you fix 7470’s status here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_Scenic_Railroad#Locomotive_Roster on the Conway Scenic Railroad article itself. Because for months nobody hasn’t changed/fixed it to its current status now, because it now returned to steam after its fire incident a few months ago. Like I said, no pressure. Just whenever you get a change. 73.186.22.73 (talk) 20:54, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
If you unblock me now, I will use my Wikipedia editing capabilities for a really good cause. I just learned how to use reliable sources this year, too. If there is an edit I feel needs to be made, I will use my main account for that. If I ever need a break from this website, I’ll just stay away from it instead of leaving a message stating I’m taking a break. I also would never use the internet under the influence, not that I ever plan on going under the influence, because I know I wouldn’t think straight. I’m currently a year too young for that, too. I don’t need a secondary account to edit a page, because I don’t see a reason why I need to pretend to be someone I’m not on this website. One of the main reasons why signed up for Wikipedia is because I thought this would be a peaceful website, compared to other sites on the internet, and I figured no drama happens here. Of course, drama like what WillJ created proved me wrong, but I still ignored that and pressed on. I want to continue editing Wikipedia pages to spread accurate information with reliable sources. I know vandalizing a page for laugh’s isn’t really funny. I am asking for a fair chance to prove I am mature enough to not cause any real trouble on this website. Don’t keep me blocked over something that wasn’t my fault.
Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

Someone who likes train writing (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was wrongfully accused for sock puppetry-creating multiple accounts and abusing them to create disruptive and inappropriate edits. This was all really done by someone who apparently just so happens to have the same interests and grammar style as me, and he lives close to me, so we share the same IP address. I understand the admins are trying to protect Wikipedia pages from vandals and disruptions, and if I get unblocked, I wholeheartedly promise I will not do any disruptive damage to any page. If I get unblocked, I will only concentrate on adding correct information to pages with proper sources from magazines, books, and published news articles. I currently have a whole lot of info to add to certain steam locomotives with the sources I have, I just want to add them gradually, as I do have a life outside the internet. I would not do anything to make any disruptive edits. That is not what I signed up here on Wikipedia for. Me and the real culprit of the mass attack just spoke in person today, and while I really don’t forgive him, he says he is sorry and does want me to make constructive edits. He promises not to do any of his wrongful actions here again, but if he breaks his word and causes trouble anyway, I’ll talk to him.
Decline reason:
Checkusers can see more than just the IP address and in light of that your proposed explanation is very unlikely. If you did something silly, I recommend just owning up to it. An indefinite block isn't infinite and if you can convince an administrator that you are being honest and that you won't do it again, you'd have a good chance at being unblocked, especially considering your history of constructive contributions prior to this incident. But continuing with this WP:LITTLEBROTHER story is unlikely to be fruitful. Spicy (talk) 10:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was blocked, because I was accused of sock puppetry, as there are multiple accounts that share the same internet details as my main account. If I get unblocked, I guarantee you that I will not let this happen again anyhow. I signed up here on Wikipedia to make constructive edits to pages, not to tell lies and disrupt people’s lives. I actually support Wikipedia’s needs, as I do now donate $5 to the foundation every month. I have multiple magazines and books that I want to use as reliable sources for information on other pages, such as Susquehanna 142 and Santa Fe 3751. I really don’t plan on disrupting any page or any user at any moment in the future. If I get unblocked, you can watch me and any other account under the same IP address for about a month or two from now, and I promise that you’ll see that I can behave on Wikipedia well, regardless if I’m ever under probation.
Decline reason:
I find your explanation unconvincing given the technical details, and I'm declining your request accordingly. I would encourage you to follow Spicy's advice above. --Blablubbs (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I have a very real confession to make… @611fan2001, @Jackdude101, @Trainsandotherthings, @NorfolkandWesternBoi, there’s something I need to tell you all. Those admins are right about me, me and Larrysteamfan are the same person, and I was the one who made all those other accounts! There, I said it! I am so sorry, I deceived you all! There is no person who shares everything in common with me in my neighborhood! I never even use Reddit or Twitter, and my real life name isn’t even Larry! I…am an insecure person, okay? I am a deceiver and a bully! I became the very thing I swore not to. Another careless person who doesn’t learn certain lessons and allows habits to resurface. I’m actually really friendly most of the time, but sometimes, I also kept making spur in the moment decisions to intentionally mess with someone on the internet. I was contemptible and thought I could get away with it! I am mostly friendly but I sometimes like to be silly and screw with someone. These are my true colors, but I have been slowly getting better about it overtime. I decided to edit Wikipedia with an anonymous account, because at the time, I wanted to make edits I didn’t want anyone to see was done by my main. This year, when I started using proper published reliable sources, I wanted to keep using that alt account to edit pages about some obscure steam locomotives, like Polson Logging Co. 2, St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway 5, and Columbia River Belt Line 7 but at the cost of mostly using unreliable sources. As time went on, I grew to realize using unreliable sources anyhow hurts Wikipedia, so I eventually retired that account altogether, using fake reasons why that account was done. I’m so sorry NorfolkandWesternBoi, but I really never left Wikipedia. I’m still here, but I really knew very little to nothing about some of the page topics you asked me to expand, so I never finished those. I did in fact sign up for Wikipedia back in 2020 to edit pages with accurate information, but sometimes, for the past year or so, I also kept making spur in the moment decisions to create some random account and use it to annoy the heck out of another user by intentionally making disruptive edits or sending disruptive messages, which meant breaking the rules of Wikipedia. I tried to troll other Wikipedia users, because I either wanted to cheer myself up or thought it would’ve been funny. Again, I thought I could get away with it! I also had my main account talk to my alts every once in a while to cover my tracks a little bit. @JackDude202, me. @TomyTNF, me. I’m so sorry, JackDude101, you really are amazing at what you do, and I should never have been so disrespectful to you in such a belittling way. @SPS700, also me, just because I wanted to fix some mistakes I put out about Polson No. 2. @WillJSimpson and @WillJacobSimpson, I don’t even know why I made these accounts, but I recently used the first one, since I decided to go back and forth over one stupid note on the U.S. Sugar 148 page and decide whether it should have stayed a note or be part of the main article. In hindsight, that was kind of a moronic move for me. And then, although I haven’t done anything really stupid on Wikipedia in a few months before this, I thought it was a good idea to let my habits resurface momentarily, because I was feeling sad for some reason, and use the account to troll with pages again just for my own entertainment. Even going as far as pretending to be drunk, without actually being so. That’s what ultimately led to admins finding me out and blocking me and most of my alt’s on Christmas Eve. I…kind of deserved it, in all things considered. I was horrible to quite a few users, and the admins really did the right thing to protect Wikipedia. I panicked and tried to lie myself out of this situation to convince the admins to unblock me, but it hasn’t been working. The admins can see my technical data via checkuser. A couple have encouraged me to just tell the truth. 611fan2001 has been trying to defend me, and he told the Larry alt it wouldn’t be forgiven, because “it threw me under the bus”. He also called me his buddy. Reading that message broke me. I realized I could not drag this on any longer. 611fan, I’m so sorry, but I lied to you. I probably treated you the worst of all, because you faced some of my alts, and I for some reason thought to use them the same way some of those anonymous users used Wikipedia. I was way worse than how you probably were back in 2019. I don’t deserve to be 611fan’s friend. Real friends don’t lie to each other. I don’t deserve to be anyone’s friend. I doubt even after revealing the truth of what I had done on this peaceful website, 611fan or any of these users I’ve interacted before will ever trust me again. It’s still true that I have been collecting books and magazines about trains for the past several months with more info to add to pages, but I have been completely dishonest to users, in terms of my alt accounts. I kept pretending to be someone who doesn’t exist, but as time went on, managing multiple fake identities would get exhausting. So I kept promising myself I wouldn’t do this again, but I very slowly kept doing it anyway. This block, though, really is a wake-up call for me. If no one on Wikipedia wants to give me another chance after seeing this long message, I understand. I don’t deserve to be trusted. But I have slowly been maturing over this year, and I kept thinking using that WillJ account was going to be a one-time fluke before I stop abusing this website completely. I am kind of a pathetic loser. I don’t deserve trust, but I want trust. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 08:33, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
