GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

Fair use rationale for Image:SDERy logo.png
Image:SDERy logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge of San Diego Class 1 Streetcars
The article San Diego Class 1 Streetcars was created back in November 2010 and is sourced only from an organization dedicated to restoring the existing streetcars. As this class of streetcars is related to this article, I suggest that we merge the two together, pulling the most relevant information into this article. This article does not differentiate all of the different classes of streetcars in its history, so I don't think the merged content should have weighted coverage over any of the other streetcars that were used. I'll leave notes at the talk page of that article as well as at WP:SANDIEGO. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:04, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I definitely support the idea of merging this article as Nehrams proposes. The streetcars in question are not notable enough to have their own article, and no other design of San Diego streetcar has its own article. I was actually thinking that the San Diego Class 1 Streetcars page should be deleted, but this is better. A merge will keep the page in existence as a redirect, so that if the cars become more notable in the future, the page could be recreated. --MelanieN (talk) 15:39, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I would definitely support this idea. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:28, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I strongly disagree. The Class 1 Streetcar article is about the vehicles themselves, a very different subject than the Railway overall, and far too detailed to incorporated fully in this article. There is nothing on Wikipedia that says that an article should be suppressed simply because it is on a subject that is too specialized/specific, and comparably detailed information is not available for similar topics (in this case, the other streetcar classes). (See Summary style). I think it's fine where it is, though it needs to be linked appropriately from this article. Also keep in mind that the article on the vehicles is of interest to those researching information about streetcar vehicles, and the article quite rightly takes its place amongst the other articles in the Category:Tram vehicles of the United States Keizers (talk) 05:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
