Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Nittany Valley Railroad, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC)


 * To add on to that, unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a great repository for "original research", i.e., going and observing part of the old Nittany Valley grade. I'm sure what you put was true, but unless it's been published, it doesn't really belong here; we're supposed to reflect books, articles and so forth that have already been created.
 * That said, there's a lot of published material that could stand to be incorporated into the encyclopedia. I did a lot of work on the Bellefonte Central Railroad based on Bezilla & Rudnicki's book years back, but sort of ran out of steam around the 1950s and never quite got back into it. I have a lot of interest in railroads and the iron industry in the area; if you'd like help collaborating on an article, I'd love to help! I wish we had more people like you who were interested in these topics. Leave me a message at my talk page (linked in my signature). Yours, Choess (talk) 00:59, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
