Hi Kafovofa! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Manchester Street Railway that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Delaware and Hudson Roster requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Nomination for deletion of Template:ASEA License Built Rolling Stock

Template:ASEA License Built Rolling Stock has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. This is because it now duplicates Template:ASEA Export Electric Locomotives. XAM2175 ^(T) 12:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to EMD GP50, Burlington Northern Railroad and EMD SD40-2. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Locomotive Analysis and Reporting System (LARS) (March 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Trainsandotherthings were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Discussion boards are not reliable sources under any circumstances. Of the sources in this article, only the Washington Post article is a reliable and secondary source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Locomotive Analysis and Reporting System (LARS) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

June 2023

Hello, I'm Trainsandotherthings. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Springfield Terminal Railway (ST) have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please do not append abbreviations or acronyms to the ends of article titles. This contradicts our Article titles policy, which says It is also unnecessary to include an acronym in addition to the name in a title. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:51, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Thank you. Kafovofa (talk) 05:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I learned about the Springfield Terminal Railway from Train Simulator years ago, but that section was the last one I wrote that night, and it does need to be rewritten objectively. Kafovofa (talk) 06:07, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
