Talk:William H. Morton

Article Creation
The completes the set of three notable MGWR locomotive engineers I am creating covering 1865-1924. Please feel free to improve, rewrite, and especially find the birthdate and place and what the 'H.' stands for .... which I have failed to discover! I am currently finding more need to improve a couple of other articles than continue refining this one.Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:06, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * - The sources cited in the original article give his name as William Herbert Morton - not Walter. I've corrected and moved the article accordingly.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:32, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. please WP:TROUT me. Most sources use W.H. most of the time and I tend to think of him as "Morton".  Who knows how/why I made that bloomer but from once I'd made it I never fix it myself.  I do vadgely recall going on a big hunt to find to the middle name was Herbert.  (oh ... actually I note I said that above ... it could be in that hunt I ended up making the mistake, I have losts more sources 3.5yrs on)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djm-leighpark (talk • contribs) 09:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I should apologise for being bold and moving the page without consulting you first - I came across the page quite randomly (I was looking for a quite different W. H. Morton) and it wasn't until afterwards that I realised that you are still editing here. But hopefully we've got the right result in the end!  If I manage to track down his birth and death dates, I will add them.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:59, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Absolutely no problem. Wikipedia needs peoople like you to challenge mistakes!  Unfortunately I make mistakes, sometimes whoppers.  I genuinely try not to.  I tend to be less concerned about spellling and grammar as that is relatively quickly picked up, but a factual error like this one concerns me more. I'm pretty curt myself sometimes, I'm often in a rush to do something else.  I to need to check I haven't made this mistake elsewhere at some point as this was arguably the main man of the railways of the Irish state in the (austere) 1930s.Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:11, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
