Interesting history on good sources, Spanish sourcs accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook, just wonder why you don't say 1956, instead of 1950s. Waiting for qpq. You could please me further by no allcaps in the refs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:07, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review! QPQ is now done. I'm not 100% clear on the closure date - both 1956 and 1959 seem to be mentioned, and I'm not sure if the first one was a temporary halt or not, hence "1950s". Reference formatting is tidied up.

Understand, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tenerife Old Tramway → Tranvía Villasegura – Current name is a description and not established as a common name, either. The official name should be used. Kingsif (talk) 17:46, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsif: After a bit more checking, I've moved the article as you suggest. I didn't know the official name when I started the article, otherwise I'd have started it at that location. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, great. Kingsif (talk) 18:44, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

photos?

Surely we can do better than just two pictures—of the same thing, neither of them a tram—in this article about a tramway. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 12:02, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Piledhigheranddeeper: There are a number of old photos I can find online, particularly on cedres.info - but I need to check whether they're in the public domain or not. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any of them currently on Commons. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:51, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
