Grand Trunk Western 5629 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Grand Trunk Western 5629, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please check your sources before adding things to the Class II list

I've had to revert almost all of your additions to List of U.S. Class II railroads because they are clearly Class III railroads (and I went and verified which are class IIIs, which you clearly did not do). Do not add companies that are not class II to the list. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:36, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Grand Trunk Western 5629 (September 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Rusalkii was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Well written article, but we usually look for at least several published sources. The two links here look like fan/personal websites, which are rarely a good source. The book is good, assuming it has substantive content on this locomotive, are there any other sources like that?
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Hey its me again. Do you know any trusted resources for CP 2839? I colaberated with another user to make an article about 2839 NorfolkandWesternBoi (talk) 16:29, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I know very little to nothing about 2839. However, if you ask a user more experienced than me, like User:Trains13, about 2839, I think he’ll tell you, considering he’s been getting information from magazines relevant to the Southern/Norfolk Southern Steam Program, as well as American steam locomotives in general. If he doesn’t know of 2839, try User:Trainsandotherthings. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 01:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Canadian National 6218. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:46, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you create a second article on the same topic? I'm going to ask if they can be history-merged. Liz Read! Talk! 01:47, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It said that the article was an orphan when I first posted it. I had the thought that I did it wrong and I wanted to try again NorfolkandWesternBoi (talk) 02:18, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I already finished adjusting the 6218 page with everything I know about the locomotive from the internet. So with that, I just figured you’d like some help with whatever other draft you’d like to come up with next. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.169.64.51 (talk) 00:48, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ayo! You haven’t edited any of the pages I have created like I requested you to, and yet, I have already held my end of the bargain by adding as much detailed info into the 6218 page as possible, in case you haven’t noticed. You haven’t even started an IC 2613 draft so I could build it up for you, either. Are you lazing around or something?! 23.169.64.51 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:31, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you haven't used any of the resources I provided for you and your articles. I dug deep into the internet to find these sources and you haven't used them yet. I looked into the drafts and you never added them. Dare I ask whats the hold up or something? NorfolkandWesternBoi (talk) 02:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can’t expect me to work on Wikipedia every single day, because I have a job, and I’m in community college. That doesn’t mean I won’t ever work on these pages. No. I will add the sources and info to the pages, probably later today. It’s just that life gets in the way every now and then.

A few sources to prevent your troubles DomtheN&WFan (talk) 15:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IC 2613

@Someone who likes train writing @Trains13@Trainsandotherthings In Case anybody is intrested, I am creating an article for IC 2613 to keep up with my usual tradition for creating articles on both scrapped and unheard steam excursion stars. If anybody has any sources please let me know in this topic only. NorfolkandWesternBoi (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2023 (UTC) Draft:Illinois_Central_2613.[reply]

I might look for as much info about this locomotive as I can. However you can’t expect every reliable source to even mention every single locomotive that ever existed. For instance, 2613 is actually so obscure that you can’t expect it to be mentioned in more than one magazine, book, newspaper, or online news article. Though, I could be wrong in 2613’s case. And besides, the reason I have added so much information to the pages on 5629 and 5632 is because one of the sources, A Passion for Steam, actually has a lot of information regarding both locomotives. I also found a magazine article that held so much info on C&NW 1385, I was able to take that as a reliable source and put that in 1385’s page. My point is, not every single steam locomotive that exists is going to have enough reliable sources to to have it’s own page. I’ve actually learned that the hard way, because I’ve created a long line of pages that talk about obscure steamers with very little to no reliable sources. Especially Duluth and Northeastern 29. Like I said, I could be wrong in 2613’s case. Maybe there were plenty of magazines and newspapers that mention that locomotive, so I might keep a lookout, just to be safe. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 15:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Writing about steam locomotives isn't really my thing, sorry. Plenty of people doing that; I focus on railroads which are often neglected. I do have a few books relating to steam locomotives, but I very strongly doubt they'd say anything about this locomotive, unfortunately.

Don't forget Norfolk and Western 1240

You forgot Norfolk and Western 1240, because it actually did run an excursion run with Norfolk and Western 2174 as well as with N&W 1218.

Norfolk and Western 1240 btw is now a Fallen Excursion Star Locomotive 124.190.12.234 (talk) 00:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, I don't take every single selection because I have little to no interest in stuff I'm not interested, and that there are some articles that have little information to back it up.

(My educated guess is going to be this quote that your probably going to say here: "As far as I know, no.")

As recent as today, the draft for N&W 2174 has got the AfC submission template on it. Also, what do you think of the following?

About N&W 1240

in the further reading segment for Norfolk and Western 1240, what pages did the 1240 appear in?

Books in question:

  • Carleton, Paul (1994). Memories of Norfolk and Western Power (1st ed.). D. Carleton Railbooks.
  • Jeffries, Lewis (1980). N&W: Giant of Steam (1st ed.). Pruett Publishing. ISBN 0-87108-547-X

Reason why I am asking this: So I can citate the books as references for the page numbers on the books if Norfolk and Western 1240 can get past the Articles for Creation (AfC) submissions. 60.241.84.63 (talk) 10:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

american-rails.com is not a reliable secondary source since there have been some drafts that had american-rails.com on their references and Wikipedia says that american-rails.com is not a reliable source. 203.219.245.156 (talk) 23:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
