Use appropriate cite templates
, use the right cite templates correctly. For example, for media releases. See examples on Airport Central railway station (for example). Betterkeks (talk) 06:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * That's not strictly necessary, especially for a start or stub class article. Template:Cite web is fine to use for any website source. Steelkamp (talk) 06:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

cite press release is another CS1 template that "is used to create citations for press releases." Betterkeks (talk) 10:14, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Where does it say that at WP:HOWCITE? Note cite press release under "Other" examples. Betterkeks (talk) 07:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There isn't anything wrong with using cite web just as there isn't anything wrong with using cite press release. It is just a matter of preference by whoever is adding the citation. What's more important is consistency within the article. Steelkamp (talk) 09:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The documentation for cite web starts with "This Citation Style 1 template is used to create citations for web sources that are not characterized by another CS1 template."
 * Well generally people only care about that at the featured article level. Specific citation templates don't even matter under the good article criteria. This is a stub-class article, so things such as different citation templates are really far down the list of things that should be improved. Cite web may not be the best template for that particular source, but it is acceptable and works perfectly fine, and I don't think we need to inundate a new user with the huge variety of citation templates there are, when it is easy to just use cite web for all web sources.

 * Hell you guys - the discussion really is odd, the editor more or less totally ignored comments about false starts from me - repeatedly inserted another wikipedia article as a reference in an article, and shows very limited understanding how wikipedia works - to be concerned about citation seems well beyond the editor's working from mirror sites - this all seems far too advanced, to put it politely. First things first, to wean off mirror site as a source, and to actually get some feedback and engage in conversation, and to actually work out where the hell it is going to lead us next.

 * You’re right. Let’s focus on more important stuff, and maybe get concrete. Betterkeks (talk) 13:22, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

May I please ask where you got the information about the station being located 800 m north of the current North Fremantle station? Let’s start there, so that fact currently in the article might be supported by citations (to reputable literature, but let’s start with what you have ... if you have something).

 * What is the source of that image, because it looks to be a scan ... so what is the basis of the CC BY-SA 4.0 license you applied to it? We cannot and will not infringe upon copyright. Can you please also respond to the question above regarding where you got the information about the station being located 800 m north of the current North Fremantle station? Thank you.
