Your pics

[edit]

Hello, perhaps rather than external links your pics could be contributed and shown directly. Ask on my talk page if interested. regrds Crusoe8181 (talk) 11:16, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned contemporary newspaper reports. I am guessing this is something you saw in Trove. If so, it is possible to add citations from Trove to Wikipedia. If you can write the URL of the Trove article here, I can make it a citation for you. Thanks Kerry (talk) 09:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Highest railways

[edit]

I am part way through a set of major additions, but completing the calculations will be slow. The problem is editing them into the table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_railways <ref. John Marshall 'Guinness book of rail facts and feats' 1971</ref> adds several more. Written before the Tibet line was built, it descends from 4830 m to 2394 m (and does the final digit have any real meaning?); I have extracted only those above 4000 m. 4830 m La Cima new (Central of Peru) Montt (Antofagasta & Bolivia) La Cima old (Central of Peru) Condor (Potosi branch, Bolivia) Galera tunnel (Central of Peru) Cumbre Pass (La Paz - Yungas) Caja Real (Yauricoca Peru) Chaucha (Yauricoca Peru) km 41 (Yauricoca Peru) Chorillos (North Transandine, Argentina) Crucero (Southern of Peru) Yuma (Antofagasta & Bolivia) Alcacocha (Cerro de Pasco, Peru) Cerro (Cerro de Pasco, Peru) La Raya (Southern of Peru) Jeneral Lagos (Arica - La Paz) La Cima (Cerro de Pasco, Peru) Cuesta Colorada (Bolivia) El Alto (Bolivia) Escoriani (Bolivia) Potosi - Sucre (Bolivia) Comanche (Arica - La Paz) 4003 m Kenko (Antofagasta -& Bolivia) Rnveditor (talk) 02:35, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2019

[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to High Capacity Metro Trains, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Triptothecottage (talk) 10:05, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned you had a 1955 photo that you wanted to add. I'm happy to show you how to do it, basically go here and follow the prompts. But, the only catch is that a 1955 (or later) photo taken in Australia is still in copyright which would mean you would have to be the copyright holder to upload it. You would be the copyright holder if you took the photo yourself or it was taken by someone else who subsequently gave you the copyright (or you inherited it on their death). I note that a pre-1955 photo (i.e. 1954 or earlier taken in Australia) is out of copyright and can be uploaded by anyone, so as the photo is just around the cut-off date please check the information you have about the photo to determine if it is 1954 or earlier, or 1955 or later, as it makes a big difference to the situation. Let me know if I can help. Kerry (talk) 12:36, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your edits to this article, which I have reverted. The point behind publishing the two lists in parallel was to highlight the variability in navigability of a serpentine river, particularly before installation of the locks. I have edited the relevant sentence to (I hope) make this a little clearer. Doug butler (talk) 23:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
