message: Off to the right is a first draft of a template I coded for use in expressway articles. (The formatting was shamelessly stolen from WikiProject Computer and Video Games.)

message: I find next to no information on transport safety in China in the articles under this category. Isn't this a rather glaring omission? Mostly I see articles with link to yet nonexistent pages about new roads, railways and bridges. It is almost as if the project has been scrubbed by the Dept of Propaganda in Beijing. How about an article on road safety in China? 116.21.193.54 (talk) 01:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: When editing Cangzhou Railway Station, I noticed that with the termini templates to use for train station successor boxes (), it is set up that China Rail and China Rail High-speed are different systems. But some of the templates with the CR prefix are for high-speed lines (e.g. ), and some of the CR and CRH templates are duplicates (e.g.  and ). For reference, here's a  list of existing CR/CRH terminal templates. --Kakurady (talk) 22:19, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Copied from  User:Kakurady/sandbox:
The name of Chinese railway lines in Chinese tend to be in the format [City]-[City] Railway, where [City] is the one-character abbreviation of the terminals. For example, the railway line between Beijing (Jing) and Shanghai (Hu) is called the Jinghu Railway.
While most of the one-character abbreviations are just the first character of the place name, the more commonly used abbreviations tend to be arbitrary, and not very useful for readers of the English Wikipedia.
As of January 2015, Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Chinese)#Railways prefers using the full names of the terminals, for example, Beijing-Shanghai Railway.
However, since August 2012, Chinese railway line categories on the English Wikipedia does not have a consistent way of naming categories. Moreover, some railway lines are actually listed with both naming conventions, adding to the confusion.

message: Hello.  I'm confused about Wikipedia's coverage of Chongqing Rail Transit stations around Chongqing North railway station.  We have a short article South Square of Chongqingbei Railway Station station, about the metro station on CRT Line 3 and the new Line 10.  There now appears to be a separate station North Square on Line 10 (and the planned Line 4), but  redirects to South Square.  Please can anyone confirm the correct situation and perhaps help out with a new stub article? Thanks, Certes (talk) 14:30, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , I did a bit of digging and hopefully clarified it in the articles: South Square of Chongqingbei Railway Station station and North Square of Chongqingbei Railway Station station. Heights(Want to talk?) 02:49, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello again.  redirects to Shenfang railway station.  Is Shengfang (on the Tianjin–Baoding intercity railway) the same place as Shenfang (on the Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou railway)?  It doesn't seem to be marked as an interchange. Thanks, Certes (talk) 14:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No, these are not the same station. You are correct, it shouldn't be redirected as such. Shengfang (with pinyin tones, its sheng4fang1, or 胜芳 in Chinese) is in Hebei, which is nowhere near Shenfang (shen1fang1, or 绅坊) in Zhejiang. I think we should leave the Shengfang railway station as a red link until the article is created. Shen is not the same as Sheng so it is not like an alternative spelling either. Thanks.

replies: text: Thanks. I agree that redlinks are better than these misleading redirects, and I've tagged the redirects for deletion. Certes (talk) 16:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am curious about the operations of RATP Dev Transdev Asia (RDTA) in mainland China so I can expand on that article. However, I cannot find much information especially about the bus operations in Nanjing and surrounding cities. All I know is, the predecessors of RDTA, Veolia Transport Chinese Limited (VTCL), had a joint venture (49%) with Nanjing Zhongbei (51%) in 2008; then in 2009, VTCL share was passed to Veolia Transport RATP Asia (VTRA), which is now known as RDTA. Initially, media releases from 2008/2009 such as this one said that the bus operation includes cities in Nanjing, Ma'anshan, Anqing etc. But now (Feb 2018), the RDTA website says they only operate buses in Anqing. I cannot find any information on what happened in between. Does anyone here know what happened (whether they still operate in those cities or whether they passed it to another operator?) or if there are any links to news articles about VTRA/RDTA (both English and Chinese)? Also feel free to add on to the RDTA wikpedia article.Marcnut1996 (talk) 14:08, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
