I made a resonable mistake of assuming that with a column called name and nearly every entry a red link that the link under number had been changed but not that under name. I've been informed by the person that reverted that change that that was because the column represents what the locomotive was named after. I therefore changed the heading to Named after. This was immediately reverted. To me this looks as though the reverter, who has made most of the recent edits, doesn't respect the GFDL and wants to own the page, and not permit changes. In both cases, they failed to explain the reason for the reversion in the actual edit summary, whreeas I gave detailed summaries in both cases. -- David Woolley 16:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree with David Woolley about speculative links. I've come across several instances in Wikipedia where a speculative link has later become a real link to something completely irrelevant. My policy is not to introduce a speculative link unless I intend to create the relevant article in the near future. Biscuittin 09:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
