TFA/R revamping
I have proposed revising the WP:TFA/R process. After the recent rejection of my proposal, I researched Old FAs. You were the nominator of an article that was promoted to WP:FA before 2005, and you continue to be an active wikipedian. Your article has not yet been featured on the main page as a WP:TFA. I am wondering if you have ever made an active effort to get it featured and if you are aware of the new TFA/R procedure, which requires an active request. Please respond to my talk page.

The "Camel" problem
Could you take a look at Talk:Camelback type locomotive? I'm really getting tired of this slow motion edit war with User:Lokisgodhi, and from what I can see he has a history of doing this to other articles. Mangoe 20:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Tao Mario sockpuppets
My feeling is block them and revert their changes on sight. I'm also restarting the 1 week block on User:Tao Mario on every occasion as well, per WP:BLOCK. If these continue too long I'll warn the Tao Mario account and start upping the block length on that account too. Thanks for helping with this one. Gwernol 20:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Quick help
Hi Slambo. I write you for help. An italian user added a spam article to en.wiki. Please can you check it out and delete if needed? I do not know enough en.wiki processes to do this --Jollyroger 13:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

WPTIS image on template
Could you reduce the pixel size of the WPTIS image on the TWP template. Its minor but it doesn't look so good as a bit blurred.

Non-rail rapid transit?
I don't understand this edit. Bus rapid transit is not a form of rapid transit, despite the name. --NE2 01:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Why is double-decker bus in the scope of WikiProject Rapid transit? Rapid transit is a type of railway. --NE2 10:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The old U.S./US disambiguator debate
OK, I'm sorry to pester you yet again about this, but this is a constant low-level disagreement --- random editors constantly move articles away from (US) to (U.S.). I noticed that Great Northern Railway (U.S.) has been like that for weeks, and you haven't objected.

I give up --- I think that too many people want the (U.S.), and am willing to cave to the majority. Do you not care any more, or do you still have strong feelings about it? Please respond at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (abbreviations). Thanks again! hike395

Train Alerts Links removed?
I had added a link to this site trainalerts.com on some pages. My bad that i was not signed in at that time. But I had left a message justifying the link on Talk pages of each of those pages. It seems you removed it all! Could you please explain? Is it not relevant here? is it not "Information"?

Central Railroad of New Jersey
I saw you edited the article for the Central Railroad of New Jersey after I had edited it. At the time I was editing that article's talk page. Check out those comments, if you would like. --Runnerupnj 14:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Template
Thank you Slambo. Can I feel myself also authorized to put the Infobox Locomotive for ALL locomotives present now (fortunately, I used it for my new articles on Italian ones)? If you've time, check them... I think there's just tocorrect some unavoidable minor typos, as ain't English motherlanguage. Bye and good work. --Attilios 19:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Glasgow Subway
I know this is only a small system and hasn't quite expanded, but why is it only of mid importance? It is meant to be the third oldest metro system in the world, after London and Beirut (or is it Beijing?). Simply south 18:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
