Talk:GE E60

Stub this?
This entire article is effectively unsourced; I don't think the way to solve this is to add more unsourced information. I'm tempted to take up on his suggestion to stub the article and start over. I can't get them immediately but I have some books with discussion of the E60, suitable for starting over. Any takers? Mackensen (talk) 14:50, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * FWIW, the reason I removed the information added by just to force him to add the reference to his "GE Manual". It was bizarre that information be added, for which a reference source was known. I felt it was a lazy edit, and just wanted the reference to be added.  I'm comfortable with the rest of the article being unreferenced, but I have a new year resolution to try and ensure that where information is added, that it is correctly sourced.  Call it a "drawing a line in the sand" ... accept the past, but do not accept past behaviors as being acceptable in the future.KirksKeyKard (talk) 15:27, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Instead of deleting things try the talk page. I couldn't find an obvious reference template for manuals, but now I don't care. BTW I was of half a mind to tear this whole article down to a stub just to give you a taste of your own medicine.  Pro tip, being obstructionist is not a very positive new year's resolution.Sturmovik (talk) 18:01, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You've complied with my request, which was un-necessary in the first place. A seasoned editor should not need to be reminded of one of the five pillars. i.e.  "All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources."

Copyright problem
Much of the section on the E60C-2 appears to be plagiarized from the following source: Here's the duplicator detector report. It's been in the article from the beginning. Mackensen (talk) 22:13, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I did the original work 10 years ago. After reviewing the page, I did cite Geissenheimer's article in 2002 as a source for NdeM's E60C-2 order. If it is deemed as plagiarization, I apologize for that and you can remove this portion if you want. Chaohwa (talk) 19:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is resolved; I rewrote it, then removed it altogether. Mackensen (talk) 18:56, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

New Jersey Transit
I'm having a hard time finding anything on the New Jersey Transit ownership of these locomotives beyond the newspaper articles on their purchase from Amtrak in 1983. NJT isn't my usual beat; I'm open to suggestions. Mackensen (talk) 23:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
