Talk:2003 Melbourne runaway train

Message
This page is really well written. How do we make it official? Anothersignalman (talk) 15:15, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look! As you can see, this is an unfinished draft. I have many of them in my userspace, and I work on them intermittently as and when I can find the time. Eventually I simply move them to mainspace when I feel they're ready.
 * This one is pending some further research to determine whether it's actually notable. Since Wikipedia doesn't record every newsworthy event, one has to be careful that events like this are actually of some lasting significance before creating an article. To be a little callous, no one died (fortunately), so proving lasting significance is harder. I have some documents relating to this accident and how it played out in the broader debate about privatisation, which I will eventually use.
 * Just FYI, it's generally considered poor form to edit other people's user space drafts without asking them first. I don't mind if the edits are productive, but best not to make a habit of it as it will upset some other people. Triptothecottage (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Understood, and thanks. If it turns out not to be notable by Wiki's definition, then it might be worth incorporating into a bulk "other major incidents" page as I've done with the rolling stock types? Anothersignalman (talk) 02:26, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
