Alco 244 Engine page
I've started an Alco 244 Engine page and need someone to proof and wikify it. Is there anyone you recommend? It is extensive on the early development work on both the 241 and 244 engines. And has all the known types of Alco and MLW units listed. There is no in service part to this article as that can be added by those who know of specific use. --SSW9389 20:41, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Is the new page in your user space? I don't see it and ALCO 244, which is linked from the ALCO 251 page, is still a red link.  I'd be happy to take a look. Slambo (Speak)  16:08, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

I'll post it to my user page SSW9389. --SSW9389 16:32, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Any comments on the Alco 244 article? Or is it not ready for prime time? --SSW9389 16:20, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, sorry for the delay. I had expected to see it as a subpage.  Regardless, I just read through it.  The lead section needs a little more on where the engine was used and the total production run numbers; this section should be a miniature version of the entire article.  I like the pacing of the development section and the overview that it gives on the engine's design.  It has enough detail to be interesting without the minutiae that gearheads tend to add.  There are a few spots in there where I'd adjust the grammar and/or punctuation a little for consistency and MOS considerations (along with separating it into a few paragraphs rather than one big paragraph).  The sections that follow that seem more like notes than well-formed content.  There are a few sentence fragments in these sections.  You've got some great references listed at the end (these are the resources that I would expect to see for an article on this subject); a few inline footnote citations to these references is the next step.  But I'd say promote it and we'll all work on improving it.  I'm sure I've got some additional references in my collection that can be used to further verify and fill out the latter sections in the article.  With inline citations, links to associated articles, a few images (especially images of the engine itself, but images of the locomotives that used it would be a good start) and an infobox, it won't take too much more work to get it to GA nomination level.

Disambiguation link notification for June 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1911 in rail transport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moshi (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.
