Eastern Idaho Railroad
We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Eastern Idaho Railroad, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. Other contributions you've made that are in your own words are quite useful, so please keep up the good work; just don't copy material from elsewhere into Wikipedia. Thanks, and let me know at my talk page if you have any questions. Chick Bowen 20:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's OK, Steve, I read your message on the article talk page and removed the deletion tag. You're right that it's difficult to cite yourself, so the best thing to do is to leave a note on the talk page, in the edit summary, or both.  I think Eastern Idaho Railroad is OK as it is now.  If you want to put a more detailed explanation on the article talk page that would be fine too.  Let me know if I can help.  Chick Bowen 23:02, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Blackfoot River
Hello, good work on Blackfoot River, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Blackfoot River? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! — BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-12-4 20:23

You put User:Abcraghead/Trains in the wrong place initially. It is now OK. -- RHaworth 15:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

It is time you learned how to make wikilinks - we do not write Portland and Western Railroad, we write Portland and Western Railroad. Copy from the article title not from the URL. -- RHaworth 15:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Lost River
Hi, I'm thinking about expanding the Lost River/East fork(Idaho) article you wrote. I think it would be better to rename the article Lost River (Idaho) to comply with Wikipedia naming conventions. The we can have separate sections within the article for the East fork and the North Fork. I thought I'd check with you, since you started the article. What do you think?

WikiProject
Would you be interested in helping start an Idaho WikiProject? Let me know. --Faustus37 17:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like you're the only one interested. It says in the guidelines we need around five to make it work. If you know of anyone, let me know. --Faustus37 02:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I created a skeleton Idaho project (which needs lots of work.) Sign up if you are interested.--Robbie Giles 16:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
