Avon Yard edits
Some of your recent edits to Avon Yard appear to have reversed some of my recent edits. I suspect an edit conflict rather than a deliberate reversal of some of them. Could please check all your changes and either undo the ones that you did not intend or let me know that you intended all of those edits.

If you did intend the reversal of my edits, I'll list your changes that I disagree with on the article talk page, with reasons, so that we can discuss them individually (and get opinions for other editors, if needs be). Mitch Ames (talk) 13:00, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

If the railpage item identifies the date when Aurizon officially pulled out staff (they did give the remaining 'left over workers' a closing down celebration later in the year) - that is sufficient reason to keep it. Also it is no longer a operational facility by any operator - Watco has sheds, that is about it - I'd be very carefuly about calling it anything but a storage yard and transient Watco location - if you look at the photo - either Brookfield and or Aurizon have been pulling out lines there at the same rate the disused grain wagons get put it... satusuro 13:32, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * http://www.railpage.com.au/f-t11374674.htm - chris fitz is a verifiable, legit writer whose knowledge of the subject (wa rail activities) is well above the average person - having been in the rail industry in wa for over 20 years... satusuro 13:37, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hardly sorted - the point is that most stubs like these get edited by people who know nothing about the subject or its history, and in most cases fail to understand the sometimes labyrinthian background issues that make their simplifications of the stubs render some of the information into false assumptions. The as yet un-started West Toodyay article will no doubt be victim to such copy-editing - I think it will really bend some brains trying to understand the fact that there may well have been 3 different and separate sites that have been named that. satusuro 13:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * There was scope for the article to be improved, hence a number of editors have copy edited. DCB1927 (talk) 14:00, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Short of finding the Avon/Northam/Toodyay local newspaper refs on how the local informants gave their views on the subject - the usual google search finds literally only chris's comment - stuff the rules and templates - he is relating the info in a way that no other source is avilable. The photos show that John Holland was there - doing maintenance in April this year, and the sea of blue CBH locos show in my yard shot from last year - I do not think that a stub like this is compromised by putting a railpage comment by a verifiable person - until such time that one of our eds working on toodyay subjects in toodyay (or northam) might find a source in their local newspapers about the various quiet closing of the yard. satusuro 13:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * At the end of the day, per WP:Reliable source examples, forums aren't valid, a reassurance from an editor that a forum poster is legitimate doesn't override this. If you want to reinsert, am not going to lose any sleep over it. DCB1927 (talk) 14:00, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It is not worth re-inserting it, I know there will be something that can corroborate chris's assertion, and the fact that most working railway notices on issues such as this are subject to the whims of the operators (internal docs...) - and the watco and brookfield ones being in mushroom territory due to their recent supreme court spats - I suspect that northam and toodyay sources (or even something in the countryman maybe...) are simply waiting to be used. Thanks anyway for your edits, and coping with my replies and comments - nothing on wikipedia is worth losing anything, let alone sleep, there is always the chance that some highly geographically challenged person can come in and create havoc on any edits at the best of times.  satusuro 14:06, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Singapore. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. ''We never ever delete other peoples relevant talk page comments. We reply underneath and strike through our own comments if we want to change our minds instead of changing old posts.'' Charles (talk) 18:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Webb Dock railway line, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Westgate Bridge. 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.

Hi,

Thanks for keeping the Regional Rail Link article high qualiity - I added the gps tracks as a link to my Strava page as a verifiable source. This is not my preferred option - do you know how I can upload the GPX file directly to Wikipedia? I see how I can upload image files but not other generic files. Perhaps you could tell me where to get help on this sort of thing.
