Locomotive articles
Re the four articles you've created on individual steam locomotives, please see this discussion where I've suggested that the articles really need better titles than just the locomotive's number. Mjroots (talk) 10:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hunter Valley Steamfest
Please note, this edit to Hunter Valley Steamfest, in addition to restoring a previously deleted copyright violation that you had added, restored overlinking that had previously been removed with this edit. In general, terms are only linked once, not each time they are used. Other necessary edits that were made in accordance with the Wikipedia Manual of Style were also reverted by you today. This has now been corrected, again. --AussieLegend (talk) 22:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

April 2013
Please don't restore unsourced content to articles, as you did to Hunter Valley Steamfest, especially without explanation and especially when it has been removed for a valid reason. Claims like "I should know because I attend to the event each year" do not constitute reliable sources and cannot be used to substantiate addition of content to articles. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 10:47, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

May 2013
Again, please stop restoring content to Hunter Valley Steamfest without providing reliable sources for the content. As was the case with "I should know because I attend to the event each year", "comes from the book Hunter Valley Steamfest The First 25 Years. published for the 25th year. Barnesy Barnes the creator of the page" is not a reliable source. Per Verifiability, inline citations are required. That you may have created the page is not relevant. Wikipedia editors do not own content that they create on Wikipedia. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 11:52, 7 May 2013 (UTC)


 * May i ask how "Hunter Valley Steamfest The First 25 Years. published for the 25th year" isn't a reliable source as it tells the history of the event and what Locos have attended. I have looked through the history of the event. I know what i am talking about.--User:Barnesy Barnes 10:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

5917
Quick question - what exactly is 5917? Is it a particular locomotive, a model of locomotive, or what? I sort of get the impression from the text that it's a specific unit, but I can't get a good handle on it. I'm trying to put together a lead, and can't get a start on it. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:43, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi

Hoping you can help as I added a current photo of 3542 to the following page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3642

But another editor keeps reverting to his effort.

Can you help ?
