List of railway lines in Vietnam
This peer review discussion has been closed. I'd like to get this article up to Featured List status, and I'd like to hear from other editors as to what needs to be done style- and content-wise to make that happen. The list is fairly complete right now, containing all the major railway lines and many of the smaller lines (both operational and defunct), but I'm not really satisfied with how the information is presented, particularly in cases where a once-defunct line has been proposed to be rebuilt: should it be listed under both "defunct" and "proposed"? Or is there an even better way of presenting this information? Thanks in advance for your help! (Also listed at WikiProject Trains.) dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 19:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I started formatting the refs, but some won't be allowed at FLC because they are amateur hobby websites. Are you going to create all the lines, because if some of them are staying unlinked, it would be necessary to explain where Hoc Mon is, among others  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, you're right about the hobby links. I've had a lot of trouble finding information about some of the less well-known lines, especially in the case of the defunct lines (most of those are on the Sébastien Schramm site, which is self-published). The Da Lat railway site is another self-published site, but I've actually managed to find other sources for that one, so I may actually be able to phase it out. I suspect I'll really have to search hard for information on the others, though. I suspect the French Overseas Archives (Archives nationales d'outre-mer) would have a lot of info, although I'm not exactly sure how I'd access their files, not being in France...
 * With regards to creating links, I expect I should be able to create links for all the current lines; I suspect it'll be too difficult to create articles on most of the defunct lines. The Da Lat–Thap Cham line is already linked, and I think it should be possible to create articles for the Phu Lang Thuong and Loc Ninh lines, but the rest I'll probably leave unlinked for now. I will have to go through and flesh those lines out though, you're right—at the very least, specify where they begin and end. --dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 14:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
