Why would you remove the phone numbers for the train stations? John R G 18:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
The question I posted here hasn't gotten much attention, so I thought I'd bring it to you directly. I'm interested in adding some information on, for instance, the Pennsylvania Railroad system, but I'd like to have some input on proper structure before I start adding a large number of articles. Choess 16:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Can you help me to create a new category page about Indian locomotives. I already tried to make one but it seems not to work properly.-- Iball 07:57, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Attribution. While it would have the desirable-to-me effect of cutting back on all the various station articles (since nobody is going to be able to come up with an acceptable source for a lot of them), it would largely destroy the trains project as it stands if it were strictly enforced. (I notice that the media fancruft is getting a pass-- probably there would be open rebellion if they attempted to demand "proper" sources there.) Mangoe 19:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I have been adding Templates to the Railroad pages I made. I have a question it says "owned by" but I do not know who it is owned by. Also how do you think I am doing on these pages I would like to know. Thanks John R G 07:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help.-- Iball 09:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure this is only of Mid importance? It is vital in that it is about the UK linking up with mainland Europe's rail network through obviously the Channel Tunnel. This plays a quite major role in at least the history of this area. Simply south 19:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for your reaction. I did not know how to send it, so I had to use 'edit' to have a reaction. I just made an acount: 'wdew', wdew@telenet.be.
For your information: 1. I am working for 25 years in the public relations department of Belgian Railways. And my interst in railways dates from long before that. Thanks to my job I was present and sometime co-organiser in a lot of railway events. I co-organised the belgian part of the official opening of the chunnel and I co-organised the Royal first official Eurostar Brussels>London, ... So for some data I have first hand information.
2. In my aim for perfection in possibilities I found a 'agenda' program that is (almost) perfect for me. All I ever hoped is possible in this program, it recognizes Easter, the last Friday of September each year, ... but also IF conditions: if the normal (agendaà date is Easter move it to the following Sunday, ... Next to the personnal 'agenda' inputs you could select one or more 'chapters', originally meanth for 'holydays' of different countries. I took contact with the maker of the program and he allowed me to make supplementary 'chapters' for his program and to put them available on my website (with a link to his webside, and on his website a link to mine). So I make a many 'chapters', among them: Railways in Belgium, International Railways, ... And because it was available to everyone I have on my website a brief explanation of the sources where I found that data, so everyone can verify that my information is as correct as possible. Much of my chapters are in Dutch, buit more and more come available in English. The chapters are text-files, so you don't need the program to be able to read them. If you want to look at it: http://users.telenet.be/wdew/ The files with my sources are at: http://users.telenet.be/wdew/Basis%20PTB/Holiday%20INFO/
I hope this can help you.
I only want to obtian that my 'chapters' are as correct as possible. I look on the internet and in libraries. I write to organisations when I think I found an error on their site. If they respond I have again a proof: or they explain why their information is correct, or they inform me that they made an error, and so we helped each other. I try to compare to be as shure as I can about the data.
I see a lot of useful information on Wikipedia. But sometimes I think I have better information. So I tried to have a reaction. The only way I found was by editing the page. So thanks for your reaction. If I find other point to discus on Railways, may I write you to examin it?

Hi. I recently created the article Santa Ana (Amtrak station), complete with standard Amtrak station and services infoboxes. I'm pretty sure at least one other user is likely going to add to it soon. As what has been the standard in southern California stations, they've gone by the name "xxxxx (Amtrak station)" or "xxxxx (Metrolink Station)". This is the case with most stations on the Pacific Surfliner and Coast Starlight routes (see station listings). But I just noticed you made a stub of the same station - The Depot at Santa Ana. Would you want to do a redirect to Santa Ana (Amtrak station) and add original information there? -- Marriedtofilm 06:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Yesterday at about this time you blocked 207.63.107.68 with an expiry time of 24 hours. That IP seems to be vandalising again [1]. ~ ONUnicorn ( Talk / Contribs) 17:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'll be glad to do that - I'll try to get it sorted over the weekend/start of next week. Sorry for the delay, but as you can probably see from my talk page, I've got loads of other requests! (as well as RL). Thanks for your patience :) M a rtinp23 17:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Sean, is it very difficult to create maps? I'm novice and would like to join the map project, but I don't know which program (Freeware?) to use and don't have experience. Rhallanger 01:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I've programed MartinBotII to be able to update the lists, as requested. I'm going to do some other coding for other tasks on it, then submit them all to WP:BRFA, after which I'll be able to get the bot editting on a regualer basis. M a rtinp23 16:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll move it the other way around as a redirect. Or can you do it as an administrator, so that the history moves with it? There was a revert move funtion, but I don't see it anymore. I am trying to create redirects from full names and vice versa, and find missing middle names for people. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 17:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC) . Looks like you can just do another move back to the truncated name and then the fullname becomes a redirect!
Don't forget to add people to Category:Missing middle or first names if you need more research to find a missing name from a truncated name.
Hi Slambo, can you please check these? I am not used to en.wiki rules, so I may have made something wrong, but it seems to me that my work was not that bad, after all and some info were interesting... -- Jollyroger 23:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I have benn trolling from since the 1400s and have been adding the years of birth and death to the persons on year pages and year in "whatever" pages, and linking them to the year page. Also I been removing redirects and links to dab pages by linking directly. your feedback is requested. Please leave comments on my talk page. Dfoley51 23:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I am a little unsure about "subway". Is that for underground stations only (as opposed to above ground) or is that for all U-Bahn/Metro related articles (Stations/vehicles)? Agathoclea 22:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
G'day from drought affected oz tralia. trust the rain still falls where you live! There seems to be a heap of 2 foot edits by gwernol - which really goes against the grain as most of the world understands metrics (ha, the old atlantic separation of terminology and technology etc) wondering what you might say to this- also - is there a convention on citing gauge imperial/metric within the rail project at all? The edit I first noticed was North East Dundas Tramway. Cheers SatuSuro 04:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I understand that you do a lot of work on passenger rail articles. Can you weigh in on my merge proposals at Illinois Zephyr/ Carl Sandburg (Amtrak) and Illini (Amtrak)/ Saluki (Amtrak)?
Also, is there a passenger rail MOS somewhere, maybe even in a draft form? Thanks. -- Elliskev 19:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
