message: What is the standard practice for linking the names of locomotives? In the case here, I set up a link to an article about the locomotive named Sir Nigel Gresley (there isn't one yet, but there are for two other members of the class, Mallard and Union of South Africa see LNER Class A4), rather than the article about the person. The link on the loco named George Stephenson does the opposite and links to the article about the person. Thryduulf 23:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there is one (yet). I put a link to the locomotive if there is one, or if there is a precedent for one (i.e. there seems to be a page link for all preserved A4s planned). If not I put a link to what the name is. For example it might not be immediately apparent what the name means in the case of 50027 "Lion", which is named after the warship(s) "HMS Lion" as opposed to the animal.

This loco has number 45407, as you can see in the picture.  But I can't see that number on your list.  Is the list complete and up-to-date?  Or am I just being very stupid in not undertanding how the numbering system works?  — P Ingerson (talk) 01:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: What should go here? LNER seems a bit random. Obviously the line has had several commercial operators through history. The Whitby and Pickering Railway built it, and it was last commercially run by British rail. One of these would make most sense to me, but there are also the YNMR, NER and LNER in between. I've asked over at the template talk page to gauge opinions over there also.
:The NER was the 'commercial' operator for the longest time (69 years, 1854 - 1923), which dwarfs the LNER (25 years) or BR (17 years), or even the W&P (9 years) and the Y&NM (9 years).  The only operator that comes anyway near is the NYMR itself (34 years) - but they are not 'commercial'.  XTOV (talk) 15:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having received no comments here and as there have been two recents edits to this field (to 'LNER' then reverted), I have changed this field to 'North Eastern Railway' for the reasons given above.  XTOV (talk) 22:10, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Recently 88.105.159.185 made a series of eight edits to the Steam Loco table; he/she appears to think it is better as a bulletted list and separated into sections for locos from the big four (and their predecessors), BR and 'others'.  I have no strong feelings for or against a format change but these changes were poorly executed, for example leaving traces of the previous table formatting and ommitting spaces between some words.  In consequence I have reverted all eight edits to return to the previous format plus I have updated the information in line with the NYMR magazine I recieved this morning.
If 88.105.159.185 still wishes to change the format of this table, may I suggest:
* He/She registers for a Wikipedia user account, so that future edits are not anonymous.
* Ensures that the revised format is carefully checked before saving it to avoid the careless errors made previously.
* Takes the trouble to apply his/her new format to all motive power tables, not just the steam one.
* Tries to avoid multiple serial edits, presumably to correct errors or oversights - that's what 'Show Preview' is for.
and finally
* If he/she is not willing to go to all these lengths - do not attempt it in the first place.

message: Hi. Under the header "Future and possibility of expansion" we had this:
Reinstating this missing rail link was adopted as a policy objective by the North Yorkshire County Council some years ago; the NYMHRT board agreed to support this policy in principle, whilst having reservations about its implementation. The more recent of which was conducted in the year 2000 by the council and concluded that the line could be re-laid for approximately £27m.
The second sentence, "The more recent of which was conducted in the year 2000 by the council and concluded that the line could be re-laid for approximately £27m." is problematic. It has a minor grammar problem which would be sortable but the real difficulty is that we don't know WHAT it's the more recent of, when it says "the more recent of which". The more recent of which what? What was conducted? I feel like there must be something missing here - a more recent survey, report, or something. Did something get lost in a previous edit perhaps? For now, for the sake of clarity, I am removing the sentence - not because I don't think it should be there at all but because I don't know how to fix it! :) If it could be reinstated, with clarity as to its meaning and maybe a reference for the 2000/£27M core if the claim, that would be great!

replies: text: It's certainly worth covering within the NYMR article, but I can't see much coverage other than the NYMR/Channel 5 websites, Amazon, and all the listings sites. If you can find three independent sources that actually discuss/critique the series, then put a draft together and we'll see how it looks.--Verbarson talkedits 11:19, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
