Happy editing! Wikishovel (talk) 03:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/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]

What about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker,_Kempton_and_Southern_65 Insomniac187 (talk) 21:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Hello Insomniac187, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Baldwin Class 12-32 ¼ E, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baldwin Class 12-32 ¼ E.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TarnishedPath}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Someone who likes train writing what do you think of this? Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern 65 Insomniac187 (talk) 10:46, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It uses mostly reliable sources for it’s info, so I can give it a pass. Though, if you would like some input from an editor more experienced than I am, talk to either User:PRRfan or User:Trainsandotherthings . Someone who likes train writing (talk) 15:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you know what? I just found a deletion discussion page for this No. 65 page, and I think the points that have been made there are pretty valid. If you want to defend it, I won’t stop you. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only warning you will get. Close an AFD again which is about an article you created and you will have a noticeboard discussion in your honour. Someone else might create it now anyway. TarnishedPath^talk 11:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
