There is now a flag saying that the intro to the article needs to be expanded. The Wiki protocol is that the editor explains the issue here. Could he or she do so now please? Afterbrunel (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the tag. Wikipedia rules are that the tag must be accompanied by an explanation in "Talk" (i.e. here).Afterbrunel (talk) 18:20, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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 Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway'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 "legends":

From Ayr and Dalmellington Railway: David L Smith, Legends of the Glasgow and South Western Railway in LMS Days, David and Charles (Publishers) Limited, Newton Abbot, 1980, ISBN 0 7153 7981 X, page 9
From Cairnryan Harbour: David L Smith, Legends of the Glasgow and South Western Railway in LMS Days, David and Charles (Publishers) Limited, Newton Abbot, 1980, ISBN 0 7153 7981 X
From Dumfries, Lochmaben and Lockerbie Railway: David L Smith, Legends of the Glasgow and South Western Railway in LMS Days, David and Charles (Publishers) Limited, Newton Abbot, 1980, ISBN 0 7153 7981 X, page 134
From Maybole and Girvan Railway: David L Smith, Legends of the Glasgow and South Western Railway in LMS Days, David and Charles (Publishers) Limited, Newton Abbot, 1980, ISBN 0 7153 7981 X, on diagram page 13

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 ⚡ 17:20, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
