This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because…

I've been working on this list, on-and-off, for some time, and I feel it is about as good as I can get it by myself. I believe it meets the criteria for WP:FL, but would welcome an independent and experienced editor to check through and make any approriate comments.

 * Only one external link? Other than that, upon cursory examination, it looks great. Thank you for your diligent contribution.  Out of curiosity, which academic library is nearest to you? 69.228.196.41 (talk) 07:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I've added Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, though long lists of external links are undesirable (see WP:EXTERNAL). See also the parent article to this list, Talyllyn Railway, which is already a Featured Article, and only has the one external link at present (though adding NGRM to that is a goos idea now I think of it). The books don't come from a library - I own them myself. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 10:29, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review by User:Darth Panda Following WP:WIAFL.


 * Prose.
 * I would refrain from using too many abbreviations like "loco".
 * Many of the descriptions of the locomotives and carriages are done in incomplete sentences.
 * Check your punctuation. Several sentences could use a comma or two.


 * Lead.
 * No issues.


 * Comprehensiveness.
 * Even though the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum rolling stock section links to a "main article," it should still have a blurb.
 * I have no clue what "Liveries" are... Might you want to wikilink it?


 * Structure.
 * No issues.


 * Style.
 * The book references should use instead of just being open and close tags. This way, the bibliography and the references section can be combined.


 * Visual Appeal.
 * The rows without images look quite awkward... I would almost argue that there are too many photos, but someone else would need to confirm this with me as I don't know what WP:MOS policy on images in lists is.


 * Stability.
 * No issues.

Quick comment - I like the photos and would not remove them. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Any tips on how to make the rows more even then? D ARTH P ANDA duel 19:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Updates to Darth Panda's comments:


 * I've expanded loco to locomotive throughout, and also tried to standardise on No./number (No. before a digit, number elsewhere).
 * Punctuation and expanding notes to full sentences is still work in progress - bear with me.
 * Blurb provided for Narrow Gauge Railway Museum
 * Livery is now wikilinked.
 * The book references are done the same way as the parent article, Talyllyn Railway. I'd prefer to keep these the same, as it is in keeping with Footnotes.
 * I've made rows without images a minimum height, to match those of most photographs.

I'll make further updates in due course, but I hope you'll accept what I've done so far. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 13:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
