Disambiguation link notification for April 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bradford Gilbert, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Middletown, New York. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What do you think
about changing Category:Railroad architects to something like Railroad station architects? Also, if you put something, anything, on your user page then your user name will change into a blue link rather than being the red one that it is now. This suggests to others, or at least to me, that you are not the dead end that red links suggest and that perhaps you are even a serious editor who intends to stay around. The "User Page" tab at the top left of this page will change color too. Consider it, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 20:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I had started a category "Railroad Station Architects" when I discovered a category "Railway architects" already existed, so changing it would be fine with me. But I suppose the original creator of "Category:Railway architects" may not have wanted to appear to limit the category to only stations. An architect, particularly one employed full time by the railroad, might design shop buildings, roundhouses, or any other structure the railroad needed, not just stations. So it may be best to leave the category name as it is. 1234tomdorman (talk) 20:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Good enough for me, so leave it as is. Carptrash (talk) 00:57, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The Ipswich Railway Workshops War Memorial being a good example of . . ..."Other." Carptrash (talk) 01:04, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
