Nominating this article, about Romania's state railway carrier, because I would really appreciate some feedback on its comprehensivity and any tips to improve its overall formatting, style, etc (in preparation to become a featured article). I would also appreciate feedback on the choice of name. Căile Ferate Române is the name of the company which runs the railway network in Romania, but would it be better to perhaps move the article to a generic name like "Rail transport in Romania"? Thanks, Ronline 07:01, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Edit this pagections. Is it Wikipedia style to put a gallery section (using the new syntax) under each section? Would that look good or would it break the flow. I've made the pictures 200px now, and the text does look more airy that way. Just another question - should References be separated into "Notes" and "References", with the Notes section including the footnotes, and References including just general sources? Thanks again, Ronline 08:38, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! The commons photos of rolling stock are at Commons:Train/Romania. I will categorise them on that page more neatly and add captions soon, but they're mainly the photos of rolling stock found in the article plus a few more InterCity photos. By the way, is it OK if I submit this article to featured article candidates now, or does it have to go through more peer review? One pending issue is the name of the article - would it be perhaps better to move it to Rail transport in Romania. Rail transport in Romania (and Romanian Railways) currently redirects to Căile Ferate Române. I don't think it's worth having two separate articles since I think it's superflous and also since, in Romania, CFR is almost synonymous with the Romanian railway system. At ro.wiki, I've also applied for a native pronunciation of the word "Căile Ferate Române", so this will be done soon to show people how to pronounce it (I'm also a native speaker but I don't have a microphone, so I can't do the recording). The word is pronounced approximately "Ca-ee-leh Feh-rah-teh Rom-âhn-eh", though the â sound does not have an English equivalent (the ă sound in Romanian is always pronounced like the last "o" in "London"). Since these types of guides are discouraged, I will get a pronunciation sound file. Ronline 10:59, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
