Hello, I'm Redrose64. I noticed that you made a change to an article, British Rail Class 153, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:45, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sprinter (train).

You have had the situation explained to you in the warnings above from last year, and in response to your message at User talk:Redrose64/unclassified 17#British Rail Class 153. --David Biddulph (talk) 10:34, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Blocked

I blocked you before, and once the block expired you repeated exactly the same unsourced edit. So now I have blocked you with no expiry. I understand that you want to contribute knowledge, but the comments above show you that the way you are doing this, violates our core policies. So now you need to start engaging with people here, please, otherwise we can't have you editing articles, I'm afraid. Guy (Help!) 21:49, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

You undertook not to repeat the edits. You have continued, including logged out. I think you still don’t get it. Guy (help!) 22:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Class 153 conversion carried out by Leyland Bus at Workington NOT Hunslet Barclay

I wish to correct the mistake in Wikipedia (that's all). The Class 153's were converted from Class 155's by Leyland Bus at their Workington (dockside) plant. I was the Project and Works manager for the whole thing. There can thus be no higher authority on the subject than myself. Would some understanding and kind person please give me a guide on how the mistake in Wikipedia can be corrected. Jwoch (talk) 19:54, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Jwoch, and all you need to do is provide reliable independent secondary sources that say so. You know who you are, but we can't: by design, we cannot, do not, and must not verify claims such as yours. Given the vast number of books churned out every year on minutiae of railways, there has to be one somewhere. Guy (help!) 21:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
