GWR 3150 Class
I see that you've added some dimensions to GWR 3150 Class - I see that most of the figures you've given are in agreement with some books that I have - but there are discrepancies. For example, you put 40 and 40 whereas my books give the running numbers as 3150-3190, ie 41 locos. It would be helpful if you could add your reference source to the article, see WP:REFBEGIN for a beginner's guide to referencing. Thanks. -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:02, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page GWR 3150 Class has been reverted. Your edit here to GWR 3150 Class was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48169669@N03/5609367000/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

 * I am going to post a note on the bot's page because I believe that its reversion was way too heavy-handed. The flickr photo was probably a mistake for you to add, but I'll bet that you didn't know that it was prohibited. Unfortunately that triggered the bot to undo all of your good work. I've now reinstated it all, with the exception of the flickr photo. -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:30, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Again, as one of the operators of the bot, my apologies. Flickr images do have their problems, and there are several cases where it is better not, or even not allowed, to link to such images.  We do feel that it is good cause to ask editors to check the relevant policies and guidelines regarding the specific image (in this case - I believe everything is basically fine!).  I hope you understand our care with that.
 * Happy editing! --Dirk Beetstra T  C 10:03, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
