Hello, I'm Trainsandotherthings. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, EMD FL9, 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 talk page. Thank you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Reliable source being my own eyes and photos on the internet of these two locomotives.

 * That's the very definition of original research. Photos are considered user-generated content and not reliable for Wikipedia's purposes. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

So what works for a source? They clearly exist. CR6699 (talk) 16:03, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Verifiability, not truth. But honestly, that list of preserved locomotives is excessive and needs trimming regardless. The railroad's website is a primary source but it's much better than the unusable sources you provided before (and initially you neglected to provide any source at all).
