Welcome to WikiProject Trains
Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 10:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Experiment gone wrong.
Experimenting with an auto-reader script. It didn't work :( No harm was done nor was any intended.

Image source problem with Image:Walter Tetley (Tetzlaff).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Walter Tetley (Tetzlaff).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Re:Your page header has been ripped
Just writing to let you know that your graphical page header has been ripped and is currently being used here. I have even noticed that all the links point to your page as well. Just thought you might like to know. This user has also done the same in ripping his page from another user as well. --Dp67 | QSO | Sandbox | UBX's 20:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the note, but he didn't rip anything. That was a sample available to everyone to assist in the development of their user pages. Please see User:The Transhumanist/User page design/Menus.  I guess he didn't figure out that he needed to replace the links so that they point to his pages rather than mine.  Ironically, that menu doesn't appear on the menu resource page, because it is commented out, because I couldn't get it to work.  Please take a look at the User Page Design Center, and let me know what you think.   Th e Tr ans hu man ist   

Wikipedia Users' Alliance
Please note: this message is being sent out to all involved parties. Dear Friend, the Wikipedia Users’ Alliance has been deleted. I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist (Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward. WUA Founder User: King of Nepal has expressed similar views such as these to me via e-mail. His majesty said, “We have to move on, move forward. It is in the best interest of Wikipedia and us all.” I agree and hope that you do to. Thanks.--Greenwood1010 12:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Co-founder of the WUA.

Sean Avery
Hello,

I was curious as to why you felt that my edit on NHL player Sean Avery's page was vandalism. I contacted Sniperz11 since he had thanked me for a contribution and being that I'm new to this I was not aware that he wasn't the person I was to go to as opposed to you. He informed me to contact you, that you felt that my edit was vandalism and he was unaware of why as well. I added Avery's OHL and AHL stats but didn't add them to his NHL totals on the bottom, similar to how it is on Brendan Shanahan's wiki. By the way, I made the edit under User:......, thanks. Redfzn 05:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

This is the edit I'm referring to. Redfzn 05:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I apologize for misunderstanding your edits. The reason that I thought it was vandalism was because there were several edits from your IP previously that day, followed by a revert and a warning from another user, at a glance it looked like cut and paste from another article. There were also no edit summaries on any of your submissions, please try to use them in the future it helps everyone understand your intent as well as helping you keep notes of your own edits. (I learned the hard way too..) Again, I apologize, I am human and I do make mistakes.. Welcome to Wikipedia. -- DP 67  (talk/contribs) 06:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Please be sure to comply with the usage permissions for these photos as posted at http://www.trainweb.org/oldmainline I have corrected the two photos mentioned; please correct the attributions of any others you may have uploaded, and keep in mind there is a quantity limit.

I've fixed up User:Dp67/Templates/Test. I'm not sure the image looks good at 300px; we can change it to a smaller default size for the default image (but not a regular image) if you think that would be better. Mackensen (talk) 15:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Modularizing a template
I haven't seen any tutorials, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any. The way that I've seen to do it is to take a section of the template and make that section itself a template then call that subtemplate from the main template.

For example, on the TrainsWikiProject banner, the box with the Trains Portal link is a subtemplate located atTrainsWikiProject/portalbox. I've been thinking of doing this for the various project and maintenance parameter outputs on that template for some time now, just haven't had a chance to work on it yet.

North American railroad signals
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of North American railroad signals, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

adding new links
hi DP 67 i am new to wikipedia. as my first contribution i would like to add the video lecture page of IIT madras.i would like to know what's wrong with that link. actually that link is not with a profit motive.the users must login just for statistical purpose.please reply me.

Thank you for writing and asking, it does show that you care. The link added mentioned a requirement for login or register. Whether or not it is free does not matter, Wikipedia strongly discourages links to any such site. Not my rules, but they are rules the Wikipedia community has accepted. The very same link has been removed on several occasions not only by myself but from others as well. Then after the link is removed it is added again. I am not saying you are responsible for the previous attempts but someone from your school did. The IP of your school has also been warned several times for poor behaviour. With all that combined I would recommend that you not post the link.There are a large number of electronics articles which you are welcome to constructively contribute to if that is your expertise or any article you choose as long as it is not disruptive or against policy. Welcome to Wikipedia and feel free to contribute constructively.

Image:Ed willard.jpg
Dp67, Hope you get a favorable reply from him. If not, what I can do is create a separate stub article on the Joy Boys radio show and CD, moving the image there rather than have it deleted. That would unquestionably meet all requirements of NFCC. p.s., what station were you on in Baltimore?  JGHowes talk  -  00:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hopefully he has something. As for the stations I was on my first claim to fame was Radio 60, WCAO "Your personality station" (Back when it was country) even though I was youngster at the time and it wasn't a paid gig I got to do some voicework as well as learn allot from the staff. I've worked at WMJS Prince Fredrick, WQMR Federalsburg, and knew nearly everyone at WHFS and WIYY so I spent allot of time at the guest mic or as a remote guest at both stations. I have spent most of my time behind the scenes mainly in engineering and production. I worked as a production technician for a cable TV station for several years and from there I went to Massachusetts and worked as an operations engineer at WEIM AM. For the last few years I've been working in the newspaper industry. Unfortunately, production and mechanical and not journalism otherwise I might know how to write a decent wiki article lol!

Speedy deletion of Image:1024x768 patapsco swinging bridge.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:1024x768 patapsco swinging bridge.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Screenshot-EchoLink.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Screenshot-EchoLink.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Orphaned non-free image File:Dick Wilson AKA Mr whipple.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Dick Wilson AKA Mr whipple.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 07:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey there Dp67, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot alerting you that Non-free files are not allowed in the user or talk-space. I removed some files that I found on User:Dp67/images. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use files to your user-space drafts or your talk page.

Replaceable fair use File:Emo philips onstage 3x4-72.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Emo philips onstage 3x4-72.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  — fetch ·  comms   19:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Amtrak 700 P30CH POOCH.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Amtrak 700 P30CH POOCH.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Project Trains no image.png
Thanks for uploading File:Project Trains no image.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Deletions
In the Grand Trunk Western article you deleted a trivia section in January 2008 without incorporating information into the rest of the article.

From the Wikipedia Manual of Style on Trivia sections: ''Trivia sections should not simply be removed from articles in all cases. It may be possible to integrate items into the article text. Some facts may belong in existing sections, while others may warrant a new section.''

The guidence also states its better to leave the information instead of just losing it to deletions. Please consider that some authors have dedicated time into building articles up from stubs with actual referenced information. Sometimes some information is relevant to a company's history but cannot be developed into the first version of an article. Secondly, if the information of trivia is incorporated its a good probability that it does not belong in the lead since it was considered as extra pieces and would have been in the lead in the first place. Please be sure to take advantage of the Wikipedia Style Manual guidience before making significant edits to articles. The more informing Wikipedia is the better it is.70.8.185.167 (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:AEITag.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File permission problem with File:Fairbanks-morse logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Fairbanks-morse logo.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 09:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
