Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway[edit]

WP Trains, WP Ohio, PedanticallySpeaking, WP Cincinnati notified.

Featured article criteria 1(c) - lacks inline citations, in fact it has only one. Tom B (talk) 14:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on it; it may take a few weeks but it should be expanded and improved. --NE2 23:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep us updated. Marskell (talk) 13:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NE2, are you still planning on working on this one? Marskell (talk) 14:13, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the book arrived the other day and I'm about halfway through reading it. --NE2 15:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Besides inline references, the References section is not as per WP:LAYOUT: no separate Notes and Referenes sections. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 14:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've gotten back to this article. I'll handle the content; you guys can deal with formatting (but please, not until I'm done). --NE2 08:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm done with the main part of rewriting the article, though I still have some stuff to add (photos to scan, a section about locomotives). I'd appreciate comments about the content and general format. --NE2 21:39, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead should be expanded, preferably to a few paragraphs. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, I see some WP:MOS breaches. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Could you please be more explicit about the problems you see in the article? I think that would prove very helpful is rectifying any issues you came across. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 15:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Sorry, I should have been more specific. There are numerous examples of hyphens being used where spaced en dashes or unspaced em dashes should be. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to the lead (and adding images) soon. As for minor formatting errors, I'm not dealing with those. --NE2 01:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed it for the most part, though I plan to select a few more images. One thing I am not sure about is whether Image:Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern 17.jpg satisfies the non-free criteria, since locomotives are not part of my area of interest.
I'm certain that the image is fine. The owner of the copyright explicitly permits educational use by not-for-profit projects like this one. DrKiernan (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That has nothing to do with the non-free criteria. --NE2 21:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The image is non-free and requires a non-free content rationale. Education only and non-commercial are not acceptable licenses on Wikipedia. Jay32183 (talk) 07:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note Does this require FARC? Joelito (talk) 01:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we finish this soon? I need to return the book in six days. --NE2 03:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks NE2 for all your hard work. I think we should close this one. DrKiernan (talk) 15:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. There are some minor bugs in the prose that could be worked out, but that shouldn't be hard to fix. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no major objections, then I agree too. Tom B (talk) 15:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
