Sir.
 It is hard to cite myself as the source. I am the one who worked for them.  I discussed with Den McNulty (a personal friend whom I worked with along side Larry Bill) if it would be ok to include myself on the page since I detailed every piece of wood and steel on most of their coasters. His response was "absolutely, you were an integral part of our company"
I was also an employee of CDS in the '80s , detailed the Mean Streak and was assigned the task of laying out the Raging Bobs coaster at Geauga Lake from only photos of the Chicago coaster. 
Sorry, but I was a little put out when, just because YOU hadnt seen anything to verify my employment, that it didnt exist. I would be more than happy to hook you up with Den McNulty or any of the Gravity Group guys to verify my work on these coasters. 
I tried to send you an email, but Wiki doesnt make that connection an easy task. I can go back and edit if you wish, but I will continue to put myself in that group. Nobody can take my accomplishments away from me.

replies: text: Nobody is trying to take them away. The problem is we have no way of verifying who you are, even with the potential word of two of the other particulars in the company (because we couldn't verify THAT, either). It's nothing personal. Without a published third-party source (a news article, for instance), it will likely get removed again.  --McDoobAU93 21:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

text: Agree with McDoobAU93. We need a published, reliable source that not only verifies the information, but also shows its relevancy to the topic. Wikipedia is not a collection of all things that true or verifiable. Per WP:NPOV, content within an article should be represented proportionately to its presence in reliable sources. Even one or two sources verifying the information may not be enough depending on the topic and/or the amount of content you are trying to add. If sources exist that meet Wikipedia's standards, then please start a discussion on the article's talk page with links to those sources. --GoneIn60 (talk) 23:05, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Turboliner

message: From the RfE page, here's what the problem is (if it's not apparent already...)
The Turboliner was a trainset used by Amtrak on a number of routes from the 1970s up until the 90s. There is a bunch of information already here about its current state of affairs, but the older history sections have absolutely nothing in them. It would be great if a railfan or someone else with knowledge on this topic really filled in the holes. There are also some sites with info provided using HTML comments at the end of the article. lensovet 02:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

"The RTL Turboliners were capable of third rail operation, allowing them to enter Grand Central Terminal, and, later, Pennsylvania Station in New York City": why does third-real capability allow RTLs to enter GCT and PS? Emissions restrictions maybe?
"permitting a cruising range of 950 mile": does a train really have a "cruising" range? Would "operating" range be better?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zin92 (talk • contribs) 06:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

I would argue that his notability in either sport is unclear, on a worldwide scale he is not notable in either, but in Australia he was more notable than he was in America. He wasn't delisted twice in a fortnight in Australia, and was one of the league's better players in his prime, plus a club captain.

thread_title:  Engrish 

message: I should clarify I really find problem with the term "embroidered uniform guards," because the words does not translate to uniform, it meant cloth but in this context it relies on the combination of the first two worlds together- "錦衣" is a specific pronoun that refers to the robes they were plus they wore, never a "uniform!" They came in multiple colors and has many ranks of embroidery
Like this: https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19366254_10211019517058047_3063601255939835948_n.jpg?oh=5182c7c9a94ad9e6517be866a2b87bbc&oe=5A03F783
Some times it's fine just calling something by their foreign pronoun- case and point ☝️ tsar Ivan's secret police called oprichniki or Tokugawas police- samurai were called Shinsengumi

replies: text: "Embroidered Uniform Guard" appears in several English academic sources, though the editor who made the change from "Jinyiwei" didn't bother to provide them. Wakeman's The Great Enterprise uses that translation, for example. Both terms appear to be equally frequent in the sources, so I don't have a preference one way or the other. The policy is to use the most common name found in English-language sources (as long as it's reasonably neutral), not to quibble over the quality of the translation, which is often a subjective matter.

This paragraph is POV and contains weasel words. How was the attempt to sell off teh land "thwarted"? Woudl it be better to say that locals protested and the decisions was reversed? (if that is in fact what happened). "Great environmental and economic advantages" is relative and subjective. Should be substantiated with a reference. "not to mention the enjoyment of..." is unencyclopedic tone. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of rail trails, but this article could do with a tidy up.

message: The article states
"Electric passenger services originally operated along the Bankstown Line to St James station, until the 1956 opening of Circular Quay station and the completion of the City Circle."
I believe this to be incorrect as the line operated to Wynyard and not St James until 1956. It did not start to operate to St James first from Central and vice versa until 1979 when the Eastern Suburbs line opened and the Illawarra line trains went there instead of going to St James.

Talk:Predeterminism

message: I think WP Pedeterminism subject page should include references to psychological nativism.  It more widely believable that In the field of psychology, nativism is the view that certain skills or abilities are "innate" and others hard-wired into the brain with life experiences and everyday challenges. This is in contrast to empiricism, the "blank slate" or tabula rasa view, which states that the brain has inborn capabilities for learning from birth. (Like the baby Immanuel) his environment wasn't as protected and didn't contain experiences such as native beliefs.
