Author name removed? Why?

Is there a good reason why you removed my minor edit of the addition of the co-author's name to the subject's own book reference? As there's two author's and only the one listed who is not the wiki subject named in the reference, it seems odd you'd remove the author's name referencing the figure the page is about! I will replace it and if you remove it again I'll ask an assistant ombudsman for further verification whether co-author shouldn't be listed on same-subject's page. Please take care in not being too over-zealous with the 'revert edit' option before checking your sources. Got2Bthere (talk) 09:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Normally, you'd use the coauthors parameter for this. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps a better solution would have been to correct this yourself by using suggest method of 'coauthors parameter' rather than utilizing 'revert edit', whereby you simply reverted content back to the originally inaccurately entered data? Just a thought. Got2Bthere (talk) 14:54, 31 July 2012 (UTC) Thanks, hadn't noticed this. Was trying to simply add one extra name and didn't know there was a special parameter to do so. Will try that out. Got2Bthere (talk) 15:02, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Sure, w ill do --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 15:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Western Railway Elevated Corridor

I put Hindi and Marathi in it because some of the Indian public transport articles on Wiki like Delhi Metro and Mumbai Suburban Railway have station names in local languages as well. Besides most Indian stations display the name in 3 languages and in certain cases like Bandra, the name is different in English, Hindi and Marathi. As for the underground part, if you check references 5 & 7 on the article, they mention that 5 stations in South Mumbai will be underground and 2 others on the line will be at surface level. The project doesnt have any official name yet. Indian media usually refer to it as "Oval Maidan - Virar high speed corridor" or "high speed corridor on the western line". Some media still call it an elevated corridor (probably because the majority of it is elevated). --BigJolly9 (talk) 11:38, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

183.82.200.151 (talk) 13:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

In that case, please just specify, that IDPL Hyderabad has been taken over by APIIC, provide a Reliable Source. Removing the section isn't appropriate. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

183.82.200.151 (talk) 13:13, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

183.82.200.151 (talk) 14:01, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

I just noticed the copyvio tags. Go ahead, add the source. But please, do not remove the section. There is no red tape involved here. Till you add a proper source, someone or the other will undo your edits. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:41, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
