East West Rail
You may notice that your addition to the East West Rail article has been changed already, though its essential information remains albeit in another form, so thank you. There were two policy reasons for the change: first, WP:embedded citations forbids embedded links like Cambridgeapproaches in articles (they are ok on discussion pages like this one) and second, wp:primary source says that we can't accept the say so of the original promoters of anything, we have to wait for a reliable third party to report it. We do this to prevent all sorts of fantasies from getting into the encyclopedia, even if it means that the most respectable authors are treated the same as the nut-cases and trolls.

These are not significant issues for your first edit, everyone has done exactly the same thing. It is more important that you contribute new useful material than that you do so prettily because someone else will correct the peccadilloes. So again, welcome.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:57, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
