  Hello, I'm Trainsandotherthings. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, ALCO DL-109, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Baldwin AS-616, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I did try to add a source around 3:00pm but Wikipedia said there was a “loading error” and the source didn’t get published. I will add a source in a few minutes. IlovetheATSF (talk) 02:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at ALCO RS-11, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:02, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at ALCO RS-11, you may be blocked from editing. XtraJovial (talkcontribs) 04:37, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I’m sorry if I come off as being “disruptive”. I’m merely trying to improve the RS11 article by putting the Penn Central numbers for the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Central, and New Haven roads. Others have complained about my sources too, but some websites like TheDieselShop are similar to Wikipedia, and is run by a dedicated group of people and is also updated to provide correct information. Same with crcyc.railfan, a page dedicated to Conrail. It’s also maintained by a single guy who updates it to provide correct information. I understand your last message, and I’m fairly new to Wikipedia still, but I’m learning more about providing correct sources and such. Thanks. IlovetheATSF (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
