Hello, I'm Edgar Searle. I noticed that you added or changed content in this edit to New South Wales XPT, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my discussion page. Thank you. Edgar Searle (talk) 06:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

National Rail NR class
Hey, is there are reason why you added back in that material I removed from National Rail NR class? Did you read my edit summaries? I said "Vicsig and Railpage forums are not reliable sources" and "this was discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian Transport" Steelkamp (talk) 12:54, 10 September 2023 (UTC)


 * There are many photos online and official articles of where accidents have occurred and the location of say NR33’s scrapping location. Not many people have actually covered it and those who have usually put it on smaller websites that people usually regard as unreliable and I do understand why. I should’ve provided an alternate citation for my edit the other day. But what I don’t understand is the removal of the list of individual locomotives. I do think it takes up a lot of room but I don’t think it should be completely removed. There is a lot of information that I personally find useful and I’m sure others do too. Things like locomotive names and liveries may not be added on US locomotive articles but it shouldn’t mean it can’t be on Australian ones. The article will feel much more basic than it is and even useless without things like the accidents and individual locomotive table. I reckon items like the serial and the operator could be removed on the table and it could even be set up like how it did around 10 years ago since they don’t serve as much purpose as others.

 * The list of locomotives is actually the bigger problem. The list of accidents could be allowed if each accident had a reliable source. As is stands, Railpage and Vicsig are not reliable, only the ATSB is. Railpage is simply a forum where anyone can make anything up. Vicsig is a fansite and we have no idea about the factual accuracy or factchecking behind it. I won't remove this again, but will tag it as an unreferenced section and it should really be referenced soon.
 * The problems with the list of individual locomotives is that it is not sourced to reliable sources and likely never will be. The other problem is that it is too much detail about stuff that is really not that important or interesting. This has been discussed at WikiProject Australian Transport and I have explained my reasons here, so I will remove this list again. I suggest discussing this at the WikiProject if you want to add it back. Steelkamp (talk) 14:13, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
