Talk:Churnet Valley Railway

message: My impression, though it's not my area, is that David Moore has written extensively on this (eg for Journal of the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group). Are you saying that his info is unreliable, or otherwise unacceptable?

replies: text: I agree completely. People such as David Moore and volunteers at the CVR such as myself do not need sources - we know about these things!

message: Placing a primary sources tag on an article does not imply any intentional desire to create an un-encyclopedic entry or that the sources are inaccurate.  It does say the encyclopedic content of the article would be greatly improved by the addition of reference. 
=== Verifiability ===
The three core content policies of Wikipedia are Wikipedia:Verifiability,  Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, In general primary sources are created at or near the time being studied, often by the people being studied, and so provide a good foundation for beginning to building an article.  But primary sources are by definition often orginal research and due to conflict of interest concerns may not be written from a neutral point of view.
Which articles still need verifying as per August-2014 notice? I have added a number since then, is this enough?
=== No original research and Neutral point of view ===
The addition of Secondary sources which are usually based on primary sources and other secondary sources by a third party who is not connected to the source, provides for a more neutral point of view and being based on the combined research of others would not be orginal research.  Here you see that the addition of secondary sources assists  the editor to write (and readers to verify) an article that meets all three core content policies of Wikipedia.  
=== Notability ===
Additionally, an article must meet a minimum threshold of notability in order for it to remain on Wikipedia. One of the Rationale for requiring a level of notability is that a in order to have a verifiable article, a topic must be notable enough that the information about it will have been researched, checked, and evaluated through publication in independent reliable sources.  Everyday Multiple articles are proposed and considered for deletion per Wikipedia:Deletion policy an article that is not clearly notable is not likely to survive the deletion process.  Keeping in mind that  the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article. If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.  Jeepday 16:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
