VR Locos

G'day I found your series of loco articles and wanted to help develop them further, the template seemed the most logical starting point. I've been pondering what to do with the diesel fleet as it is a bit of a mixed bag, with most being modified off the shelf products. My own view was to write specific VR articles and at a minimum link back to the parent products, as in most cases there were significant differences that make the VR versions unique in their own right.

I've spent most of the evening looking at how to deliniate the whole lot. My best thought was to leave the steam group as is, and then sub-divide the diesels into the VR group and include the A class, the N class and the P class in seperate, but linked, articles. The template can then be modified to list VR steam, VR railcars, VR diesels, post VR diesels and post VR railcars, which brings us right up to the the V'Locity sets. In the steam group I was planning to add a separate section for the Na and G locos.

I've also added the template to the bottom of the last section of each article, which in some cases is Preservation, in one case in Modelling and another Other Liveries. Is there a case for settling on a standardised format for all the pages and the template going at the bottom after them? Jaxsonjo 12:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Shostakovitch infobox

Actually, part of my thinking was that it was too broad, and misleading. Shostakovitch a Romantic? Well, yes, but a Romantic in the same sense as Weber or Verdi? Well, no: the infobox is misleading. Part of many reasons why these boxes for composer articles are not needed. Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 19:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Zzrbiker/Victorian Railways L class (electric)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Zzrbiker/Victorian Railways L class (electric), by Grahamec, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Zzrbiker/Victorian Railways L class (electric) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

This is obviously an erroneous duplicate of Victorian Railways L class electric, but no point converting to redirect

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Zzrbiker/Victorian Railways L class (electric), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Zzrbiker/Victorian Railways L class (electric) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Trains portal DYK items

Thanks for suggesting so many DYK items for Portal:Trains. Since I'm on vacation until August 5, my internet connectivity is somewhat curtailed (the hotel I'm in this week charges $13/day to connect; I'll be in a different city next week, so I may be more active then). Would you be able to update the portal DYK section with one of these suggestions per day if I don't get to it by mid-morning? I've updated today's entry and I've already got the selected article and pictures set up for the next two weeks, and I've also got the archive page ready for August 1. AdThanksVance. Slambo 42 (unprivileged login of Slambo) - T 15:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Way cool, thanks! Yes, there is a lot of copy/paste. I typically open the candidates page in one tab, the edit link for the DYK section in a second tab and the archive page in a third tab. I then copy the oldest suggestion that covers a region not already listed in the section to the top of the section (I also check the links and verify that the suggested image is under a free license, and put the date that I added it there in an HTML comment), remove the bottom item from the section, and copy the whole thing to the current archive page. The main archive page will automatically display the current month's archive, so I just hit the edit link for the month section there and add the new entry to the top with a {{clear}} after the HTML comment. Then I update the article's talk page to put the appropriate date in the portaldykdate parameter of the {{tl|TrainsWikiProject}} banner, and I remove the suggestion from the candidates list. It usually takes me somewhere between 10-20 minutes per day depending on the number of links (since I check all of them as well as the image). I don't think anyone will really notice if it's updated in the evening or in the morning, and I have missed a few days in the past (when a day is skipped, I put it in the HTML comments too). :Now that the [[National Model Railroad Association|NMRA]] convention has actually begun, there's plenty for me to see and do (and way too many models for me to spend my money on).

The same goes for you image contributions - my shots only go back to the mid 2000s so it is good to see the gap between that and the pre-1950s public domain images filled. I've been seeding a number of [[Operation Phoenix (railway)]] links about the place - the State Library has a stack of 1950s VR flyers about it, and I just got around to taking notes from them the other day, so the beginnings of that article should be up soon.

''"You then effectively reverted the edit by inserting the same information."''<br> No. I didn't. I chose those words very carefully. If you re-read them, you will see that although the data is similar, the information is different. ''"Contrary to your assertion that "an indicative statement is better than no data at all", WP:V makes it quite clear that unreferenced, speculative information should be removed."''<br> "WP:V makes it quite clear that unreferenced, speculative information should be removed". Agreed. However, that statement ''is in no way'' contrary to my assertion that "an indicative statement is better than no data at all". '''''If''''' my edit '''''was''''' "speculative" ('''and''' unreferenced), then yes, it should be removed. But it isn't. It's just unreferenced. And when I find a precise reference, it will be '''''neither''''' speculative '''''nor''''' unreferenced. "''Do you have any verifiable sources which back up your edit?''"<br> Yes. (I am now looking for a precise reference.) "''If not, please do not re-insert information which was an educated guess at best and was rightly removed from the article.''"<br> I actually agree with this sentence. However, as I '''do''' know of a verifiable source, the "If not" does not apply in this case. In the fullness of time I ''will'' have that specific citation.

Another possible thing to do is split out the [[Rail_transport_in_Victoria#Locomotives]] section, and discuss how the Victorian Railways locomotives fleet evolved. Either a section in [[Victorian Railways]] or a new page like [[Victorian Railways locomotives]] or [[Victorian Railways rollingstock]].

You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

File source problem with File:AA class locomotive.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:AA class locomotive.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:41, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

VR R class

It’s always nice to be brought into a bunfight that you have nothing to do with. As you seemed unwilling or unable to take any of these changes on board, I have added about 30 or so one by one. No none were major, but clearly there was scope for enhancement. The purpose of the expanded infobox which I pinched from another article was to allow some of these to be filled with additional information I have. But as I have lost interest in doing so, probably no longer of any real benefit. I was going to do so to a number of similar articles, but quite frankly can’t be bothered given the high likelihood of them being reversed. Haven’t done Wiki for a number of years, seems the lunacy which drove me away in the first place remains. 115.186.199.190 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:55, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

File:B class at Ballarat.jpg

G'day Zzrbiker, I notice that File:B class at Ballarat.jpg, which you uploaded, does not have any source information, or a date of publication. In order to satisfy copyright requirements this information is required to prove why it is in the public domain. Are you able to add this information to the file description page? Thank you for your time. Regards. AustralianRupert (talk) 06:28, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Model railway section in VR pages

Hey,

Noted your thread re the T class page. Cenovoice has been blocked from Wiki for sockpuppeting, but before that he managed to remove my model railway contributions on a number of pages.

I've changed the format of the P Class entry so its less disruptive to the flow of the page, and I've added a similar text-only history for the S Class page. But given the range of manufacturers and variants for the X and T locos, I think those pages should probably stay as-is for now. T Class is fairly succinct given the level of detail, and the table is useful for comparing releases across brands. X Class really should be cleaned up, but given the plethora of manufacturers I haven't yet decided how to do it.
