Locomotive class pages

Hey there, I get what you’re trying to do, and I appreciate that, but I should let you know that when creating a Wikipedia page, you need to use more than one source to back the info up, or it might be at risk of getting deleted or redirected by a higher-up. You also can’t just copy and paste info and sources from a pre-existing page, because then you’re just copying some else’s work, and at that point, you basically have a duplicate page.

I know this sounds expensive for your liking, but you might want to buy multiple actual physical books online, and if you’ve read a page and want to reference it, use your own words. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 16:12, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Also did you see the NY&W 142's update [1]

I also started working on this but I wasn't so sure if you would track it down yourself but I'll give you the link to it anyway. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:Western_Pacific_334 Insomniac187 (talk) 21:20, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw No. 142’s update. Completing that locomotive’s draft is next on my to-do list. I have all the sources I need, now.

As for No. 334, I don’t know much about that locomotive, so I can’t do much to help you with that, even though I think it’s a nice machine. Same story goes for WP 94; I think it’s nice, but I don’t know much about it. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 04:46, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian National class K-5-a moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Canadian National class K-5-a. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:57, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
