== Curious about a GA nomination ==

Mackensen,

You are a Wikipedian whom I admire greatly and really look up to, and I've really enjoyed all my interactions with you over the years. I've been contributing DYKs for quite some time now, and I know you have as well, but I was really inspired by your successful [[WP:GA|GA]] nomination of the article [[Turboliner]] a few months ago. Long story short, I've never successfully nominated an article for GA before, and I think that that should be my next step in my continued development as a Wikipedian. I'm curious if you might be interested in co-nominating an article with me, as I know you've had a few successful GA nominations in the past. I thought perhaps one of my previous railroad-related DYKs might be a good choice, namely [[Zephyrette]] or [[Zephyrette (train)|''Zephyrette'' (train)]]; I also have another DYK nomination on the [[GE steam turbine locomotives]] in the works right now. If you think another article (ie, not one I created) would be a better idea, I'd be game for that as well. And if you simply don't have the time for or interest in my proposition, I'll completely understand. I just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. All the best!

[[User:Michael Barera|Michael Barera]] ([[User talk:Michael Barera|talk]]) 21:05, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
* {{ping|Michael Barera}} First of all I'm flattered by your note and let me say that it's been a pleasure to work with you over the last few years. I'm interested, but let me acknowledge (and you can see from my recent contributions) that I'm busy in real life right now. A GA nomination is a somewhat solitary endeavor: once you've nominated the article it's up to the reviewer to provide feedback, to which you can then respond. You don't need my help for that, although I'd certainly participate during the review. As for which article to nominate I think all three are long enough but I'd worry about the reliance on non-published railfanning sources for the two Zephyrettes. The hardest part about getting Turboliner up to GA status was removing such sources (especially forum posts). That review was also unusually thorough. I think GE steam turbine locomotives is a strong candidate, although you'll want to add individual page numbers for the Solomon books. Are you familiar with Harvard-style notation (cf {{t1|Harvard citation no brackets}})? It's helpful in these cases, and easier on the reader than {{t1|rp}}. All the best, [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 14:44, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

:: Thanks so much for your thoughtful response, Mackensen. I'll definitely be eager to proceed with a GA nomination, probably with [[GE steam turbine locomotives]]. All the best! [[User:Michael Barera|Michael Barera]] ([[User talk:Michael Barera|talk]]) 01:20, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

::: {{ping|Michael Barera}} You're welcome. As you can see I'm looking over the sources for the turbine article now (I own Solomon's UP book, and can read the other on Google). I do have one concern so far relating to a potential GA nomination. The [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing|paraphrasing]] from Solomon's GE and EMD book is really close--phrases, concepts, structure. I think it could stand another rewrite, shortening the language and distilling Solomon's arguments. I may do so myself, but I mention it.

== Deletion of Louisiana Soul ==

Questioning the rationale for deleting the [[Louisiana Soul]] page? Are you saying that every minor league in North America does not meet Wiki standards? Are you deleted the other [[Universal Basketball Association]] team pages that have far less information? Or the more than a dozen other "minor" leagues? How does one of these leagues actually meet standards? I've done work on several.  [[User:TheScottDL|TheScottDL]] ([[User talk:TheScottDL|talk]]) 19:18, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
* I don't have any views on semi-pro basketball. The article was [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] by {{user|Tavix}} on June 5. Under that system an article is tagged and is deleted after seven days by an uninvolved administrator if no one objects. The objection doesn't have to be substantive; removing the tag is sufficient. By the same token, after the article has been deleted, it may be restored automatically on request. I've done so. Best, [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 20:19, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
::*{{ping|TheScottDL}}, I am the one that proposed [[Louisiana Soul]] to be deleted. When it comes to teams, the notability "standard" that Wikipedia uses is [[WP:ORG]]. A team is notable if it "has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." You can see [[WP:ORGDEPTH]] for an explanation of that. I proposed [[Louisiana Soul]] for deletion because I felt like that team didn't meet this criteria. There's a few sources, but most of them are primary sources (team twitter, website, etc.) and Youtube isn't a reliable source because anyone could add a Youtube video. I'd suggest reading over [[WP:RS]], which explains how to identify whether a source is reliable. Then, go through the leagues that you've done work on and add the necessary sources so someone else doesn't propose them for deletion. Let me know if you have any questions because I'm here to help! Thanks, <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;">[[User:Tavix|<b>Tavix</b>]] |[[User_talk:Tavix|<font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#000000;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</font>]] </span></small> 16:37, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
::*{{ping|Tavix}} - appreciate the explanation. Thank you. I will work on finding more sources. [[User:TheScottDL|TheScottDL]] ([[User talk:TheScottDL|talk]]) 22:22, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

==Merger discussion for [[List of Via Rail routes]]  ==
[[File:Merge-arrows.svg|50px|frameless|left]] An article that you have been involved in editing, [[List of Via Rail routes]] , has been '''proposed for [[Wikipedia:Merging|merging]]''' with another article. If you are interested, please participate in [[Talk:Via Rail/Archives/2015#Merger proposal |the merger discussion]]. Thank you.

== Userfication request ==

Hi Mackensen, you recently deleted the page [[Melanie Maria Toney]] because of an expired prod. Could you please userfy that page for me? I'd like to work on it further and see if I can resubmit it. [[User:Juno|Juno]] ([[User talk:Juno|talk]]) 18:55, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
* {{Ping|Juno}} Done: [[User:Juno/Melanie Maria Toney]]. Best, [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 11:05, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
:*The article wasn't an expired prod, it was PRODed and shortly thereafter I tagged it for CSD as a BLP violation, which is the rationale you cited upon deletion. Restoring it restores the BLP problem. Maybe a better way to go is for Juno to copy the material to work on it offline first? &mdash; <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></span> \\ 14:04, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
:::Unfortunately I'm traveling right now and not available to address the issue in depth. I have no objection to re-deleting on the grounds that it was properly deleted as a CSD, provided that Juno has been given an opportunity to make a copy of the article as he requested userfication in good faith.

== The COI issues ==

Hi Mackensen.  You [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:In_re_Alappat&curid=47137299&diff=671275151&oldid=671271675 wrote] that you are not sure what the COI issues are.  I work broadly on COI and advocacy issues in Wikipedia, mostly on issues raised at [[WP:COIN]] but elsewhere as I encounter them as well.  COI issues are complicated here due to the very high value WP places on privacy/anonymity.  (I have some thoughts on this on my userpage if you are interested).  Because of that, I generally handle COI issues in a relational, non-confronting way - as education more than enforcement.  This approach generally works well - people are generally happy to cooperate to ensure that Wikipedia content is neutral and the public can trust us.  

One of the thornier aspects of COI, is when editors come to Wikipedia who are primarily interested in promoting their own RW publications and views.  This happens pretty frequently.  Many experts start out this way and then learn to broaden their approach and become very valued contributors. Some experts come here intent only on promoting their own papers or views, and end up leaving when they cannot do what they wanted to. Our essay [[WP:EXPERT]] provides a great orientation for new experts, if you are not aware of it.

I first encountered Praeceptor on [[Bowman v. Monsanto Co.]]... what started as a discussion and unheated content dispute turned.. difficult when I realized that this was a case of an expert citing  himself and giving lots of WEIGHT to his own views, which on that case are somewhat idiosyncratic.  Situations where COI and content disputes mix have a great danger of going sideways and I generally avoid getting involved in specific content when I am communicating with an editor about their COI and vice versa.  So in this case, i raised it as gently as I could on their Talk page.  GregJackP got upset about that, and has taken the view that I am trying to push Praeceptor away, neither of which is what I am trying to do. In my view Praeceptor is kind of borderline - does some very good work, but doesn't pay enough mind to OR and VERIFY and tends to give too much WEIGHT to his own views.  I am hopeful he will become one of those experts who come fully in line with our policies and guidelines; that would be wonderful. 

Working on COI can be controversial, for many reasons.  An editor with whom I addressed a COI issue just raised a case about it at Arbcom (!) and at the same time, a case was opened at ANI about other COI matters and I others were working on.  At arbcom one of the arbs suggested I step back from COI matters for a while to get community feedback, and I agreed to do that.  That is what GregJackP was referring to on the Talk page.  

Hope that explains what is going on. [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 17:52, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

== Twilight Shoreliner image ==

I just came across [[:commons:File:Electric train in Boston (195624610).jpg|this image]] which was miscategorized on Commons. I've tentatively identified it as the [[Twilight Shoreliner]]; I don't believe there was any other NEC service operating at the time that would have had two MHCs and a baggage car. However, that doesn't jive with the text of the article, which claims the MHCs and baggage cars went away in 2001. Got any suspicions whether it's my ID, the uncited article, or the claimed date of the photo that's wrong? [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 20:12, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
:Peter Van den Bossche takes fantastic pictures, doesn't he? He's pretty reliable so I'd believe the date. We have other 2002 pictures from him in Boston so it fits. I think it's much more likely that the claim in our article is erroneous railfan lore. The time's an odd fit. Per [http://www.timetables.org/full.php?group=20020429ne&item=0026 this] you'd expect a northbound Twilight Shoreliner in after 6 AM. Local sunrise in Boston in [http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/boston?month=4&year=2002 April 2002] was 5:44 AM. If the camera was GMT maybe it's plausible that it's just late and it's cloudy. The thing is, this could also be a ''[[Fast Mail (Amtrak train)|Fast Mail]]''. I've no idea what one looked like. The defining characteristic of a Twilight Shoreliner is the branded Viewliner, and we can't see one on this photo. Most images I've seen do show the sleeper on the back. See also [http://www.goatlick.com/chasing/tour/20jan03.htm], which has a very similar picture to Peter's, complete with MHC in ''2003'' (and I think an Amfleet in Capstone livery). [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 01:34, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
::Wow, great find on that picture. I knew you were the right person to ask. GMT plus a late train fits the provided time stamp; the Fast Mail didn't arrive until around 11am if I recall which wouldn't match anything (the shadows also indicate mid-morning). Based on what you found, I'm comfortable labeling it as the ''Twilight Shoreliner''. Now I wish I could fix the article, but finding sources other than ten-year-old listservs is proving difficult. I don't have near as good an Amtrak reference collection as I do for the MBTA. Cheers, [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 01:24, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

== Secondarywaltz ==

What was your involvement in the switch-over of Michigan Amtrak station infoboxes by Secondarywaltz out of curiosity?  What he did was not consistent with other Amtrak station pages on wiki, and not only that, but some of the replacements he did for the lines aren't even correct.  For instance, he lists all stations on the Blue Water service northeast of Battle Creek as being on the [[Michigan Line]], when they are in fact not on that line.  So, he didn't even get the changes he sought to make correct.  Is there a way to convince him to revert this, or will I have to get into a reversion war?  This was totally unacceptable to do unilaterally. --[[User:Criticalthinker|Criticalthinker]] ([[User talk:Criticalthinker|talk]]) 13:57, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

In my case, when dealing with deletions tagged as copyright violations, I make my decision on how to proceed based largely on the history of the article: if there is sufficient history to suggest that the article could be salvaged, I prefer to tag as a copyright violation and let the CIU deal with it, but if its a new page and the history is entirely copyright violation-related material I'll axe. In this case, lacking the context you provided, I can see why the deletion was the more preferable of the two options, however its possible that the two vague similar articles will continue to co-exist if the copyright can be addressed. I've seen two similar articles on subject material co-exist for years here - [[Bikini atomic experiments]] and [[Operation Crossroads]], and for reasons that escape me they got along fine until just recently. I should think if the copyright gets cleaned up the other two articles will get along fine as well.

As an added bonus here though, if the material is in a constant low level edit war, this could help close the war by allowing admins to catch one of the two parties repeatedly attempting to re-add copyrighted material, which would be grounds for a permanent block. If such a course of action nets us a permanent solution to an ongoing problem then it could be worth it to take the long route as opposed to the short route. All the same, if you want to re-tag for csd and wait for a deletion-minded admin to come along, I'd be ok with that too.

* {{ping|TomStar81}} I hope you'll understand, based on my initial reply, why I've reinstated the deletion tag. There's only one subject, shared between two articles. This article started as a copy/paste move, which was then overwritten with copyvios. The responsible user has been banned. We're now cleaning up the mess: [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Oanabay04]]. Deletion is the only possible outcome under the copyright cleanup procedures.

Rather than just revert my edit to this page could you please add citation needed where these references are requested. It will make it more obvious where they should be solved. To me it's currently not clear how to contribute to better an already good article and given that banner has been there since 2013 I figure I'm not alone! :) [[User:Jdlrobson|Jdlrobson]] ([[User talk:Jdlrobson|talk]]) 15:40, 1 September 2015 (UTC) [[User:Jdlrobson|Jdlrobson]] ([[User talk:Jdlrobson|talk]]) 15:40, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

== Adirondack Railway (1976–1981) ==

The infobox gives the line length as 118 miles; however, the KML that I'll be adding shortly is 141 miles. Is the 118 miles only from Remsen to Lake Placid? if so, we might want to distinguish between the length of track owned, and the length of service.

* Yes, because the infobox is more about the company than the service. On reflection that doesn't make sense, but I was writing short-line stubs at the time and that's where my head was. Swapping in {{t1|infobox rail service}} might make more sense. Alternatively, the text could state the actual lengths in play (it does mention the trackage rights between Utica and Remsen).

== Copyright Violation possible fix ==

Hi, and thank you for fixing all the copyright violations on train articles. I am about to get the book by Drury, that the violations came from. If I paraphrase the stuff from the book, and add other information from newspapers, and train websites and so on, would it still be a copyright violation? Thanks for what you have done. Take your time to answer.
--[[User:Kew Gardens 613|Kew Gardens 613]] ([[User talk:Kew Gardens 613|talk]]) 18:17, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
*{{ping|Kew Gardens 613}} In general the approach you describe is fine; I myself have used Drury. The issue in this case is that entire paragraphs were copied wholesale. It's important to avoid [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing|close paraphrasing]]. See for example [[Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad]], which I rewrote using Drury and other sources.

== Acela ==

I am the user that just edited the Amtrak Acela page.  It is not high speed rail.  It travels the 456 miles from Boston to Washington in 7 hours which is 65.1 mph.  You can say the train cars are high speed, but the track, bridges, tunnels and overhead lines are what is limiting the system.  The infrastructure is old, over 100 years old in some places.  <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/158.227.0.251|158.227.0.251]] ([[User talk:158.227.0.251|talk]]) 10:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Roger Putas photographs ==

Marty Bernard, the curator of Roger Putas' gigantic photograph collection, is [https://www.flickr.com/photos/129679309@N05/ releasing them into the public domain on flickr]. It might be worth dumping the whole collection on Commons into a cleanup category - every image is good quality and worth having. I'll certainly transfer all the MBTA images regardless.

Hello! I saw you deleted the article about Slimgur.com (20:31, 13 June 2015 Mackensen (talk | contribs) deleted page Slimgur (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)), so my suggestion is to take a look about Voat.co (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voat) -- the article looks also promotional + it's ranked already 11 000+ in Alexa.com (i.e. less visitors) and I think it's insignificant for Wikipedia.

== Arizona Bowl ==
You shouldn't have deleted the sideline reporter from the Arizona Bowl. Monica McNutt WILL be the sideline reporter for the game. Do you know where 506sports gets their bowl game info from? ME! I have supplied 98% of ALL collegiate broadcast assignments ALL SEASON. Before trying to be pompous about it by relying on an OUTDATED resource, you should ask where the information was shared. In this case, the Arizona Bowl THEMSELVES said Monica McNutt has been added as a sideline reporter, and they did so on Sunday. Next time CONTACT the individual who made the change instead of assuming it is incorrect. 

As for where teh Arizona Bowl made the announcement, you can view it [https://twitter.com/AZBowlGame/status/678733241201778688 here] on their official Twitter account. It is on this same Twitter account that they announced [https://twitter.com/AZBowlGame/status/678991942491856896 Los Lobos] is the Halftime Entertainment.[[User:Bigddan11|Bigddan11]] ([[User talk:Bigddan11|talk]]) 22:29, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

== About "Hi-Level" ==

Hello, I am にび三郎(''Nibi Saburo'' in English).
I want you ask you about your revert at [[Hi-Level]].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hi-Level&oldid=695540758| You reverted my edit at Hi-Level], which was adding a image of a Amtrak's Pacific Parlour Car.
I think that image file is helpful because there are no Hi-level fleets in regular service except them now. So I added that image at the [[Hi-Level#Amtrak|History#Amtrak section]], which refers to the Pacific Parlour Car.

Could you tell me why do you think that my edit is "not fit"? --[[User:にび三郎|にび三郎]] ([[User talk:にび三郎|talk]]) 15:00, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
* {{ping|にび三郎}} Hello! It's a question of spacing. On a normal resolution computer the image flows into the Notes section, which doesn't look right to me. There's already an interior image of the Parlour Car in the article, and if someone wants to see more images there's a linked curated gallery on Commons at [[:commons:Hi-Level_passenger_cars|Hi-Level_passenger_cars]]. That was my reasoning, at any rate. I wouldn't be opposed to replacing the ''Heartland Flyer'' image with the Parlour Car image, but I do think there's value in showing the Hi-Levels mixed in with Superliners. Best, [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 15:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
**{{ping|Mackensen}} Hello. Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for late of my reply. I could understand what means "not fit", and I also don't think the "''Heartland Flyer''" image should be removed. So I tried another way to show both images. Please see [[User:にび三郎/sandbox|my sandbox]]. On my new plan, I'd like to show both images at the end of the section by using <nowiki>{{double images}}</nowiki> tag.

Hi Mackensen: I see [[Sam Pilgrim]] was [http://www.redbull.com/en/bike/stories/1331634980173/sam-pilgrim-defending-the-fmb-title 2013 FMB World Tour Champion]. Was that claim of significance in the article? perhaps you would consider restoring it as a draft? Rileyschneider is new and just starting to learn about referencing, but all his other articles so far have been on notable mountain bikers. [[User:Yngvadottir|Yngvadottir]] ([[User talk:Yngvadottir|talk]]) 12:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
: The entirety of the article was "Sam Pilgrim (June 4, 1990) is a professional mountain bike rider from Colchester, UK. In 2013 he placed 3rd at Red Bull Joyride in Whistler, B.C." {{user|Adam9007}} tagged it for deletion on the grounds that the article didn't assert a claim of notability. I agreed, and deleted it. There's nothing presumptively notable about being a professional mountain bike rider. There's nothing in the ''article'' as written about being the 2013 FMB World Tour Champion, nor a description of what that is. (Help me out here, I'm an American football fan but know nothing about competitive biking). There's not much to restore here. I'm happy to undelete in the article namespace with the understanding that {{user|Rileyschneider}} will quickly add some cited information supporting a claim of notability.

Don't look at me, I'm not a sports fan at all; I've just been finding sources for Rileyschneider's recent articles. {{ping|Rileyschneider}} Looks as if it's up to you now.

: That's not really how any of this works. I know enough to know that someone who placed third in a single bike race isn't, on the face of things, notable. I offered above to restore the article if you were prepared to add more information which would explain to people like me (who don't know much about biking) why Pilgrim is notable.

In at least one instance, the use of the military conflict infobox for fictional conflicts has skewed some statistical analysis programs that someone was using for an off-wiki research project. I'm not sure how the programs worked, but I think by switching over to this template would prevent such an occurrence again.--[[User:3family6|<font color="navy">'''3family6'''</font>]] ([[User talk:3family6|<font color="black"><u>Talk to me</u></font>]] &#124; <small>[[Special:Contributions/3family6|<font color="purple">See what I have done</font>]]</small>) 05:29, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
* There were only two instances of the fictional template and there were no differences between the two--it simply called the other template. Someone's offsite research project doesn't seem like a great reason to maintain a wrapper, especially given the low usage of the template.

Hi Mackensen, I saw your comments about [[George Woshingtin]] at DRV. I just wanted to suggest that it may have taken so long to delete that ''because of'' the looser run of the place in 2004. Now we have [[WP:RFDO]], which indicates that redirects with multiple typos are typically deleted ([[WP:RTYPO]]). You're always welcome to contribute there and at RfD. --[[User:BDD|BDD]] ([[User talk:BDD|talk]]) 14:55, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

== [[Hayward station (Amtrak)]] ==

So, who among us wants to tackle [[Hayward station (Amtrak)]] and [[Hayward railway station]]? Would you like the honors? Or perhaps {{U|Secondarywaltz}}? If neither of you do, I'd be willing to tackle them... Also, should they just be boldly moved, or should another [[WP:RM]] be put in?... --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 21:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:{{ping|IJBall}} Don't waste time talking. Just do it!  [[User:Secondarywaltz|Secondarywaltz]] ([[User talk:Secondarywaltz|talk]]) 21:50, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
::{{ping|IJBall|Secondarywaltz}} I've tried to tread very carefully with the UK-named stations. They do have first-mover advantage and in most cases are the PRIMARYTOPIC (obviously not in these cases). [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 21:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:: {{Reply to|Secondarywaltz}} OK, I've moved the BC station to [[Hayward, British Columbia railway station]]. I haven't moved the California station yet because it looks like it'll have to go to [[Hayward station (California)]] – if there's no objection to that (there's no UK-related station in this case), I'll move that one as soon as I get the go-ahead here. --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 21:57, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:::Unnecessary in this case--there's both the Amtrak station and a BART station. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 22:11, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:::: Just to clarify, are you saying the Amtrak station (and, FTR, it's less an "Amtrak" station than it is a "[[Capitol Corridor]]" station...) article doesn't need to be moved? Or that it can be moved to "Hayward station" because the BART station article is already disambiguated?... --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 22:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
::::: I'm saying that the Capitol Corridor station (it's more Amtrak than anything else) is where it should be and nothing should moved to [[Hayward station (California)]] because the title is ambiguous. The BART article still needs to move at some point. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 22:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

==Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England==
Hi, you have moved [[Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England]] without discussion and left the edit summary "proper title case". The official title of the journal is "Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England" and so this would appear the proper title case, as per [[WP:NCBOOKS]]. Would you please undo this move and discuss on the talk page if you feel a move is desirable? [[User:Drchriswilliams|Drchriswilliams]] ([[User talk:Drchriswilliams|talk]]) 17:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
* {{ping|Drchriswilliams}} The move was requested by {{user|Headbomb}} and he indicated it was uncontroversial (via {{t1|db-move}}). I have no views on the correct title and have no objection to it moving back. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 18:13, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks for the additional background information. I don't think that this move is uncontroversial. I appreciate the importance of avoiding the use of capital letters where it is inappropriate. {{user|Headbomb}} changed the capitalisation of the name in the lead of this article earlier today, describing the change as "ce", by which I assume they mean copy edit. After this I had made several edits to try and update information on the page, including restoring the capital T for the mid-title instance of "The". Perhaps {{user|Headbomb}} had not understood that the name of the article was representing a proper name. [[WP:NCCAPS]] recognises that capitals appearing as part of a proper name is not an improper use. [[User:Drchriswilliams|Drchriswilliams]] ([[User talk:Drchriswilliams|talk]]) 18:47, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
:::We put journals in titlecase regardless of how they style themselves. This is why [[Physica Status Solidi]] is there, and not at [[physica status solidi]] (which is how they style themselves). The 'the' should be uncapitalized. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|contribs]] / [[WP:PHYS|physics]] / [[WP:WBOOKS|books]]}</span> 18:55, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Headbomb}} You say "We" but this approach doesn't seem to have made is way into the various bits of policy affecting journal titles, including [[WP:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide]] which says "The article should be located at the official full name of the journal". [[User:Drchriswilliams|Drchriswilliams]] ([[User talk:Drchriswilliams|talk]]) 19:23, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

== About your deletion of the Brough Family Organization == 
I've been informed that you recently deleted the Brough Family Organization.  After viewing the debate page I believe there was no "consensus to delete" the page and therefore wonder why you deleted it.  If one goes online and uses Google or Bing to search for the Brough Family Organization (or Richard Brough Family Organization) he or she will find multiple references and publications referring to the organization. In fact the organization hosts a "Publicity" page that contains links to some of these sources: http://www.broughfamily.org/publicity.html.  Please reconsider your earlier decision and reinstate the page. [[User:Rcbrough|Rcbrough]] ([[User talk:Rcbrough|talk]]) 13:02, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
* I disagree; there was a clear consensus to delete at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brough Family Organization (2nd nomination)]]. That the same IP address made three separate keep arguments doesn't change that. Editors who participated in the discussion didn't find the organization notable. The IP made various assertions but didn't offer any evidence to support them. I couldn't have closed the debate any other way, and I decline to reverse myself. If you like, your next step would be to challenge the outcome at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]]. Best, [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 13:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

==Southwest Chief==
I'd say that the accident is notable enough to be mentioned. As far as I can tell, it is the first derailment. Possibly not notable enough for an article on the limited information available at the moment. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 13:05, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
* {{Ping|Mjroots}} I disagree. It's a derailment. It's probably a one-day disruption in service for a train which has run since at least 1974, and in a sense since the 1930s depending on your point of view. It's also in no way the first derailment; the ''Southwest Limited'' derailed in October 1979 (that one actually killed two people). Coverage of this incident will be routine. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 14:41, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
**Ok, we disagree. Will take to talk. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 15:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

== SLE rolling stock ==

You're doing some absolutely great work digging up sources on these, but I'm not sure that some of your table removals were necessary. I think having images in the table is good - they serve as a nice visual reference that wouldn't fit as inline images in the section - and I'd like to keep the build date column in addition to the acquisition date. I know having unit numbers is somewhat contentious as to Wikipedia not being a foamer guide, but I'd also like to think about including those. I've certainly found that listing useful for MBTA Commuter Rail when it comes to identifying locomotives in the photos I'm putting on Commons. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 16:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
* {{Ping|Pi.1415926535}} Your points are well-taken and I've restored road numbers and build year (when known, still hunting for the Mafersa coaches). Roster sections attract the worst sort of trivial foaming and I want to keep it out if at all possible. I think in lieu of the 100x100 images I'd like to see a couple proper thumbnails showing the SLE in action. The article's not hurting for images after all. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 17:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
* {{Ping|Pi.1415926535}} As it develops, five of the Mafersas are on the [[QIT-Fer et Titane]], next to the old [[Tempo (railcar)|Tempos]]. Who knew? [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 00:42, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks for re-adding those. I can compromise on the images given that there's enough space in the article for thumbnails of all the equipment elsewhere (compared to MBTA for example, where there's no way you'd properly integrate almost two dozen equipment images). So the QIT operates a rail service? I can't find anything about it with a quick search. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 03:02, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Work trains, as I understand it--not public-facing. See [http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/2006/2006-12.pdf this article] in ''Branchline'' (pages 3-6). I only know about it from scraping together the Tempo article. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 03:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
{{outdent}} I just nominated the article for GA status (with an eye towards FA later); I believe it's now ready. I'm going to review a few articles myself. [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]] ([[User talk:Pi.1415926535|talk]]) 20:07, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
