User talk:Kbathgate

Welcome to Wikipedia! I've noticed you making useful contributions; thanks! A small note; it would be useful if you cited the source of information you add. This is useful for future editors of the article, and our readers (see our policies on sourcing). If you're not sure how to do this, please feel free to ask me; I'll be willing to help. Thanks again, Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 20:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Lothian Buses edits
Hi, thanks for the addition of lots of details, this is just a note to say if this information has come from sources, could you provide them, e.g. photos, web pages, books, or post them on the talk page for someone to add as appropriate. If it is just from memory or personal knowledge, be aware it could be removed as original research, although this rarely happens for uncontroversial information, but having the sources always helps to justify the article and guide the reader to further information. Particularly, with regard to detail added to the Preserved vehicles table, such as fleet numbers and chassis types, when creating it I previously included only information that was readily obvious from the posted references, so again if you have any sources for this info aswell.

Also, see the edit and talk page about readability of the table. As an aside, do you have any info on that Bedford J2 you removed, as to whether it was an Edinburgh vehicle or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MickMacNee (talk • contribs) 14:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies - I am bad for not citing references, but will try to remember to do so. According to http://www.taybus.co.uk/bedfordufj.html the J2 (UFJ974R) started life as a Royal Navy vehicle (12RN78). It was never an Edinburgh or Lothian vehicle, although it is painted madder and cream in preservation, similar to the Mac's Tours livery. Kbathgate (talk) 12:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Cowlairs East rail collision
I adjusted the casualty figures with citation (to 13 deaths and 63 injured); where did your figures come from ? Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 22:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Highland Railway River Class, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page River Garry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Peckett and Sons railway locomotives, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irvine ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_Peckett_and_Sons_railway_locomotives check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_Peckett_and_Sons_railway_locomotives?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Duple Calypso moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Duple Calypso, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
