Orphaned references in Midland Metro rolling stock

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Midland Metro rolling stock's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "facts":

  • From Edinburgh Tram (vehicle): "Tram Facts" (PDF). Edinburgh Trams. 2011. Retrieved 21 April 2011.
  • From Oslo: "Information about Moss Airport Rygge". Rygge Sivile Lufthavn. Retrieved 25 November 2010.[dead link]

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 21:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed splitting

[edit]

Hi,

It seems that the article contains only the former and actual fleet of the Midland metro. I think it should be better to split this article into Urbos 3 and T69.

Both tramway classes being different, it seems logical that both Urbos3 and T69 articles should be separated, and the introduction and the maintenance vehicles section should be inserted into the Midland Metro article. The Urbos 3 section shall be inserted into the Urbos article.

These edits shall be followed by the deletion of this article, being unnecessary.

I would have to disagree with that, as the main article is too long already, and there are details of the Urbos fleet which are unique to the Midland Metro, which wouldn't fit well in the Urbos article. G-13114 (talk) 19:10, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

T69 problems "below"

[edit]

"Several of the trams have experienced notable problems, which are detailed below." There are no details below and not much in the parent article about Midland Metro either.--92.204.21.215 (talk) 16:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "Urbos 3" vs. "Urbos 100"

[edit]

Hello, in the recent form of the article it does look like, there is a difference inbetween the first 21 trams delivered and the new ones, because they are named Urbos 3 for the 1st order and Urbos 100 for the 2nd. But they are the same, it is both Urbos 3rd generation with 100% low-floor, therefore "Urbos 3-100". Is there any serious reason to handle both orders separated as if they are different tram types?

British Trams Online stocklist lists them separately. Voice of Clam (talk) 17:30, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know, but this does not refer to the producer's classification. BTO is a good, but just private and a secondary source. Anna Catarina (talk) 17:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
