message: The section about the Warrnambool line probably needs some mention of its closure by Kennett and subsequent reopening by West Coast Rail. Rebecca 08:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I am currently splitting out the mind numbing 'this branch from def to abc opened in xyz and closed in plf' bits (eg old version) into the relevant lines articles , and am writing a better 'overall' view of rail history like what I did to the Railways in Melbourne page. Feel free to jump in and I will add my bits to yours. ;-) Wongm (talk) 10:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
#Is it reasonably well written?
#:A. Prose quality:  
#:: It is reasonably well written.
#:B. MoS compliance: 
#:: It appears to be MOS compliant. (I prefer all caps for titles  in references to be changed to title case, but MOS is not entirely prescriptive, and I'm not sure if the bolding of line names is still considered appropriate)
#Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
#:A. References to sources:  
#:: References are in order.
#:B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
#:: Sources are good
#:C. No original research: 
#:: No OR concerns
#Is it broad in its coverage?
#:A. Major aspects:  
#:: It covers all aspects that should be included.
#:B. Focused: 
#:: It is well focused.
#Is it neutral?
#:Fair representation without bias: 
#:: No apparent bias.
#Is it stable?
#: No edit wars, etc: 
#:: No edit wars.
#Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
#:A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
#:: It has sufficient images, all but one have appropriate copyright tags.  I'm not sure if the tag on Image:X32.jpg should say "assumed to be fair use", when the claim is that it is the public domain.
#:B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions: 
#:: Yes
#Overall: 
#:Pass or Fail:

message: I copied Dan027's ideas to this page, and have linked to some online reliable sources at the new page Talk:Rail transport in Victoria/Station resources. Any more suggested resources and inclusions for a station article can be mentioned there. Wongm (talk) 02:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Station article layout and resources 

message: At present any line or station not served by V/Line or Connex falls into the 'closed station / line' categories , along with the green-brown infoboxes and navboxes. We need a 4th category for 'open for freight only' stations and lines, and the closed and removed lines (and closed stations on open lines) stay in the existing green-brown 'closed station / line' class. Any ideas for the category name? And colour - grey for the infoboxes? Wongm (talk) 02:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Britannia Creek 

message: I think this article might benefit from a slight restructure, particularly for the 'operations' and 'by line' sections. It may make more sense to have a 'passenger services' section with a history of the operators, the overview of the lines and a clearer link to the VLine page. Then maybe a 'freight operations' section or something similar? Would love to hear others thoughts. Gracchus250 (talk) 04:43, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
