Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Photos of two missing loco classes are needed in the big table -- DE/1300 and ALF/AL class.
Lower in priority, replacing some of the existing photos with new ones in GWA livery would improve the list.-- SCHolar44 ( talk) 09:50, 20 October 2017 (UTC
I have been working in recent weeks on the One Rail Australia article, mindful of the sale to Aurizon that has just gone through, subject to post-sale, ACC-mandated divestment. Among other things, I have increased the corporate history content.
As everyone here knows, GWA et al. was bought and sold by various companies between 1997 and July this year. For all but the Aurizon purchase it was "business as usual" and the outward sign was a change of logos, if that. The article changed its title and appropriate words were added.
The difference with the sale to Aurizon is that it won't be "business as usual": One Rail's assets are being blended with Aurizon assets. The One Rail website shows some of the changes, e.g. number of employees today is 230, down from 628 last week; locos 52/113; wagons 1530/2296; maintenance facilities 2/8. Under "Our presence",
We operate in South Australia, the Northern Territory, which includes the Tarcoola-to-Darwin rail line, Queensland and New South Wales, including the Hunter Valley.
is now
We operate in Queensland and New South Wales, including the Hunter Valley.
There will be further changes when another company buys the east-coast coal lines.
This situation has consequences for how we treat the One Rail article.
I believe the best way to treat it will be to close off the One Rail article, subject to describing the upcoming east-coast coal haulage changes, and adding appropriate text to the Aurizon article. The loco fleet list, perhaps after adding annotations of which loco went where post-sale (to Aurizon and the east-coast coal operations owner) to finish off as a historical record. I expect someone will add the relevant locos to the lists in these two companies' article.
I'll flag my suggestion on the Talk:Aurizon page. Looking forward to your comments – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 01:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear colleagues, I have just uploaded a substantial update of the article on One Rail Australia. I had wanted to increase the amount of corporate content to properly describe the machinations within the company since 1997. Then when the sale came through, with the ACCC requirement for separate divestiture of the east coast bulk haulage business, it added an unusual amount of complexity, which is why it has taken three weeks...
I've closed off the article at the 29 July sale date, which has still allowed me to include the future requirements for divestment. The only further coverage I can foresee in this article is to describe the result of the divestment whenever that occurs, whether by sale or demerger.
I have made a small amendment to the Aurizon article to align the text more closely with the ACCC text.
I have not included a link in the lede to MatthewH01's new One Rail Australia (East Coast) article, for several reasons:
Speaking of photos, it would be very good to have the missing 3 loco photos (2250, GWB and XRN) added to the fleet list, if anyone knows/is a railway enthusiast who has any. I'd be happy to arrange the copyright consent etc.

While there is a requirement by Aurizon to dispose of the Hunter Valley division included in the One Rail Australia purchase, this was included in the sale and for the moment, remains part of Aurizon. It most likely is being operated through a separate legal entity to comply with the ACCC’s Chinese wall requirement, but as it stands, we are not sure what that is. That legal entity will still be a subsidiary of Aurizon who will be the sole shareholder until the division is sold.

the ORA/GWA business is well and truely an Aurizon business. indeed it is trading as Aurizon Bulk Central, suggest it be renamed as such, with cleanups to the text to make it flow better.
ECR (now One Rail Australia (FLA)) is its own business, and for clarity, should absorb some info from the Freightliner page. the sale of ECR from AZJ is due to be completed by end Feb or so

Oppose, article does not require renaming. ORA ceased trading in July 2022 with its assets transferred to Aurizon or East Coast Rail. Any activities relating to Aurizon Bulk Central or any other former ORA subsidiary post July 2022, should be included in the Aurizon or East Coast Rail articles, not this one.

An anonymous user has twice changed the caption to the infobox photo from "In May 2019, just after the company's final rebranding as One Rail Australia, locomotives heading a grain train bear the logos of its previous brands" to "In January 2019, just before the company's final rebranding as One Rail Australia, locomotives heading a grain train to Tailem Bend." I have just changed it back again. In the absence of an explanation or a User Talk page, here are the relevant factors (which I alluded to earlier in the edit summary):
If it's changed again I will seek comments/mediation. Or pull the photo altogether (though it's an excellent shot). In the meantime: crikey, what a waste of time... Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 11:54, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Dear colleagues, This is to let you know that I have prepared a new article on Magnetic Rail Group, the purchasers of Aurizon's divested assets emanating from One Rail Australia. It replaces the interim article named "East Coast Rail". Discussion is here. Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 06:27, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
