Bridge-restaurants

Hi. I have a few comments on the bridge-restaurant article you recently created.

I didn't look very hard but I've not been able to find any use of the term "bridge-restaurant" on the web. As such, I'm worried that the article goes against Wikipedia's policy on neologisms. All the sources are in Italian, so presumably don't use the term.
All the sources you added from illinoistollway.com are dead links and the access date you quote is nearly three years before the article was created. You shouldn't cite a source when you've not checked that it contains the information it's supposed to be supporting.
The entries of the list need to be sorted into some order.
The list doesn't seem to have any clear selection criteria, per WP:CSC. Is it supposed to be a list of every bridge-restaurant that ever existed? How would we know it was complete?

I don't think sorting north-to-south is at all natural -- distance from the north pole isn't a very important feature of a restaurant! Chronological or alphabetical by name, within countries, would be more understandable, I think. Dricherby (talk) 21:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bridge restaurant, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Turnpike and Osio (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Blauer Enzian

On 2 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Blauer Enzian, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Blauer Enzian, a German / Austrian express train, was named after a mountain flower, the Blue (or Spring) Gentian (Gentiana verna)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Blauer Enzian. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for making a much-needed expansion of the EuroCity prose text, and also for creating many individual train articles – and for including inline references in them. Good work! SJ Morg (talk) 12:51, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Benjamin Britten (train), JB63!

Wikipedia editor Barney the barney barney just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

The photo is at Coventry, so not of the "Benjamin Britten" train itself. As such, it is simply totaly irrelevant and has to be removed.

To reply, leave a comment on Barney the barney barney's talk page.

Train articles, EuroCity index

Thanks for the response you left on my talk page on 22 March. I am sorry that I have not written again until now, but on 23 March I decided that I had been spending too much time editing Wikipedia in recent weeks, and I needed to stop for awhile and catch up on non-Wikipedia work. I have resumed editing, but mostly not on named-train articles, because there are now so many new articles. It became impossible for me to edit most of them (to fix errors, fill in gaps, add better references, etc.), because new articles were being created almost every day in March. And, I am interested in editing Wikipedia articles on many different subjects, not only trains – and trains are not even my greatest or second-greatest area of interest. Your named-train articles are pretty good, better than most railfan-created European train articles, but I was disappointed that you continued to make some of the same English-language errors that I had been correcting in your earlier articles — for example, "train numbers" (and "train service" and similar terms) is always two words in English, never one word ("trainnumbers"), and using "at" before a date is never correct in English. Nevertheless, your TEE articles (not "TEE-articles"; a hyphen in cases like this is wrong) are much better than most other recently created named-train articles, because you used good sources (the TEE books) and included many inline citations. This is why I supported the nominations of your Catalan Talgo and Blauer Enzian articles for DYK and was willing to make English and Manual of style corrections, such as the ones here.

Regarding the "EuroCity index": Thanks for replying, but you did not give the information I need. When I marked "clarification needed" next to " index numbers" in the EuroCity article, what I meant (and noted in the edit summary) is that the article must indicate what the "EuroCity index" is. I still do not know, and most other Wikipedia readers will not know. Who created it? Who maintains it (updates it, revises it)? Is it an official list? It not, then we probably should not use it in Wikipedia. If the "index" is maintained by an organization, that organization must be identified in the EuroCity article's text, along with a sentence describing what this "index" is, at the least – if the information is kept at all. If it was created by an individual, then it is not appropriate content for Wikipedia, and it must be removed. Thanks. SJ Morg (talk) 10:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Internationale Gartenausstellung 2017

Hello, JB63. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Internationale Gartenausstellung 2017, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:19, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox World's Fair

Hi there; I've got an issue with Template:Infobox World's Fair and was not sure to discuss it; as its creator you would seem most knowledgeable. The template is used for many expositions which were retroactively recognized by the BIE, such as the Centennial Exposition. All these expositions have the infobox header "EXPO [city] [year name]", which is quite strange for expositions that took place before that naming convention became common. Certainly, Philadelphians of 1876 would've found it strange usage. Is there a way the template could be modified to have a custom header option, so that historic expositions could override the behavior? Knight of Truth (talk) 04:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
