Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Missing topics
I have a list of missing topics about vehicles and transportation. I've tried to find any similar articles but I'd appreciate if somebody else could have a look at the list. Thank you - Skysmith 12:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

DOT???
I am curious what people think about state DOT articles and if they fit into the Highway project of some other subcategory of Transport. None that I have seen are under any sort of transport category, but it seems they should fit somewhere. Tell me what you guys think. Polypmaster 04:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

New WikiProject: buses
I have created WikiProject buses to manage articles about buses and bus routes, including their history as streetcar lines. --NE2 18:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

What does Wikiproject transport do?
The scope on the project page of this wikiproject doesnt really specifiy what this wikiproject does. Can I please ask what the wikipoject does do. The project seems to be quite inactive as it just has descendant projects which covers everything within the field of transport. ThanksTbo 157 14:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Peer review requested
Hi. Ruth Kelly is up for peer review here. Your comments are welcome. SP-KP 18:31, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

More DOT
A considerable amount of time has been spent on the Ohio Department of Transportation article, and it is now a GA class article. Since it is the only DOT article that is close to complete, I would like to know what type of improvements it still needs. I don't know of any particular format it should follow, but that would also be nice to know to add more information. Thanks. Polypmaster 21:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Parents and descendants
I just began a discussion on parentage and descendants at Wikiproject Civil Engineering which may be of interest to editors within this Wikiproject. I would be very interested to hear your comments, but to keep the discussion in one place I ask that you please post comments within the aforementioned discussion. Thanks! -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 00:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject UK Trams
Hi! WikiProject UK Trams has now been started at WP:UK Trams, and I wondered if anyone was interested in joining. We aim to expand Wikipedia's coverage of UK Trams and Tram Systems. Please help! There is also a portal at P:UKT.  Bluegoblin  7   19:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Operating speed
Should Operating speed be merged into Speed limit? What do you think? — M ETS 501 (talk) 16:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think they should be merged. They cover 2 different topics.  Tbo 157   talk  16:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the super-quick response. I agree with you, but a user asked on my talk page about possibly merging so I came here. — M ETS 501 (talk) 16:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Greenspun illustration project: requests now open
Dear Wikimedians,

This is a (belated) announcement that requests are now being taken for illustrations to be created for the Philip Greenspun illustration project (PGIP).

The aim of the project is to create and improve illustrations on Wikimedia projects. You can help by identifying which important articles or concepts are missing illustrations (diagrams) that could make them a lot easier to understand. Requests should be made on this page: Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project/Requests

If there's a topic area you know a lot about or are involved with as a Wikiproject, why not conduct a review to see which illustrations are missing and needed for that topic? Existing content can be checked by using Mayflower to search Wikimedia Commons, or use the Free Image Search Tool to quickly check for images of a given topic in other-language projects.

The community suggestions will be used to shape the final list, which will be finalised to 50 specific requests for Round 1, due to start in January. People will be able to make suggestions for the duration of the project, not just in the lead-up to Round 1.


 * General information about the project: Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project
 * Potential illustrators and others interested in the project should join the mailing list: greenspun-illustrations

thanks, pfctdayelise (talk) 12:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC) (Project coordinator)

2 new wikis for Planes and Trains
Hello readers of WikiProject Transport!

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in helping out with Plane Spotting World or Train Spotting World, two new wikis for all sorts of stuff!

Please let me know here of there if you're interested!

Any interest in creating a "child" WikiProject on "Trucks" ?
I've noticed that there is no WikiProject to consolidate articles on transport wheeled vehicles as: Trucks/Lorries, Vans, UTEs, etc. Does anybody know why? Wouldn't it be useful? Is there anyone interested in creating it? (not being an expert or educated user in that matter, I cannot volunteer to do that). Thanks and Regards, DPdH (talk) 03:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Need input on a CfR
I recently nominated Category:Abandoned stations for renaming. A discussion about the most appropriate name for the category and about the scope of the category has arisen. I would like to ask the members of this WikiProject for their take on this, at Categories for discussion/Log/2008 January 18. A ecis Brievenbus 23:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Reminder of the Philip Greenspun Illustration project
Hi. You may be familiar with the Philip Greenspun Illustration Project. $20,000 has been donated to pay for the creation of high quality diagrams for Wikipedia and its sister projects.

Requests are currently being taken at Philip Greenspun illustration project/Requests and input from members of this project would be very welcome. If you can think of any diagrams (not photos or maps) that would be useful then I encourage you to suggest them at this page. If there is any free content material that would assist in drawing the diagram then it would be great if you could list that, too.

If there are any related (or unrelated) WikiProjects you think might have some suggestions then please pass this request over. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 16:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Good article nomination backlog
There's still a significant backlog of transport articles at wp:good article nominations. We do not have enough regular reviewers to deal with all the nominations received, and unfortunately certain topics seem to suffer more than others. The good news is that the review process is relatively simple and any registered user is more than welcome to participate. If you'd like to help out, simply pick an article you haven't contributed to from the list and see if it meets every good article criteria. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the good article nominations talk page or even directly on my talk page. --jwandersTalk 21:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Category:Railway accidents and Category:Road accidents
Following a discussion here regarding the placement of bombings in various "accidents" categories, I would like to suggest that Category:Railway accidents and Category:Road accidents (and all relevant subcategories) be renamed to Category:Railway accidents and incidents (or Category:Railway incidents) and Category:Road accidents and incidents (or Category:Road incidents), respectively. This change would bring these categories in line with Category:Aviation accidents and incidents, and would expand their scope to include not only accidents but also deliberate attacks on rail and road infrastructure. Thoughts or comments would be most appreciated. Thank you, –Black Falcon (Talk) 15:58, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Transport
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Air transport in Alaska
There have been several AfDs lately involving aviation in Alaska that have raised concerns as to what constitutes an "airline" for purposes of Wikipedia articles. I have initiated a discussion here, and any and all input would be most welcome. Thanks! Beeblebrox (talk) 23:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Capacity, throughput and ridership
Wikipedia doesn't appear to have any article that I could find covering the topics of capacity, throughput, and ridership, including related acronyms like pph (pax per hour), pphpd (pax per hour per direction), etc. Would Capacity (transportation) be a good name?

Definitions of "capacity" as starting points:

The maximum traffic flow designation for a segment of roadway or a lane, within the control conditions for that particular segment of roadway or lane, usually expressed in "persons per hour" or "vehicles per hour". (car-oriented)

''The ability, in a given time, of a resource measured in quality and quantity. The quantity of goods which can be stored in or loaded into a warehouse, store and/or loaded into a means of transport at a particular time. '' (NB: freight-oriented) Jpatokal (talk) 06:41, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Turns out a Passengers per hour per direction article exists! I still think it should be expanded to be a little more general. Jpatokal (talk) 02:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Greater Manchester Transport Innovation Fund (TiF)
Hello,

The Greater Manchester Transport Innovation Fund (TiF) and corresponding congestion charging in Greater Manchester are in dire need of attention from experts at WP:TRANSPORT. The issues within the articles have gone to referendum (closing mid-December) and so Wikipedia's repuation would be bolstered if we had proffessional coverage.

Is there anyone willing and able to help improve these pages? Hope so, --Jza84 | Talk  16:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Unbelievable ommission
I'm sure there's some sort of historical reasons, but I'm totally shocked that this project can use a Truck driver article as it's main article in Transport and further amazed no one has ever stubbed in trucking terminal or  (Which I just made as a redirect combo, stub). Feel free to expand it. Three days without trucking and most of us in the developed world would find no groceries in the local stores. Go three more days, and most of us start going hungry. Don't you think such an important industry deserves some coverage. Last I looked, the factory with the railway spur was pretty much gone. Sheesh! // Fra nkB 00:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Template:Future public transportation up for deletion
I have nominated Template:Future public transportation for deletion at Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_May_7, please add your thoughts.

Transport articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Transport articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

FYI, there is a proposal for a WP:BOATS to cover watercraft that are smaller than those bannered by WP:SHIPS. As several watercraft articles have been debannered from WPSHIPS, it seems appropriate that there be a wikiproject to cover these articles. See WikiProject Council/Proposals/Boats

76.66.199.238 (talk) 08:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi there, just wanted to note that I have responded to this comment on the page linked to in the comment above, WikiProject Council/Proposals/Boats. I go into more detail there, but to summarize, I proposed the creation of Wikiproject Boating as a compromise, which would subsume related dormant WikiProjects as Wikipedia taskforces under the broader Wikiproject Boating.  These proposals are similar to what has been done in WikiProject Food and Drink.  Anyways, if you’re interested check it out and as always I welcome any feedback or further suggestions.  Thanks for your time, Henryscobie (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Category hype
Categories on transportation accidents are hyped up to "disasters" as you go up the line in categorization. I have recategorized CSX 8888 incident and Category:Maritime incidents so they roll up into categorized "incidents" all the way up the line. Before, it rolled up into "accident" categories, which, in turn, rolled up into "Disaster" categories! While I have changed it for these few incidents (for CSX for 2001 only, for example), many other categories need to be defined to replace ones that wrongly promote into worse-sounding categories.

Note that Aviation was particularly careful in defining its categories to "accidents and incidents" (see for example Category:Aviation accidents and incidents but nonetheless, these too are rolled up into "disasters" further up the line. Student7 (talk) 14:03, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is a case of 'hype', as you claim, but rather lack of better terminology. I'd personally prefer "Disaster" to "Incident"; you claim "disaster" is too strong, but I'd claim "incident" is too weak - see, for example, the definition of "incident". You're proposing a fairly substantial re-categorization of tons of articles - which I see you've already started making changes on. Mlm42 (talk) 17:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I see what you're doing now; putting them under Category:Incidents, as a term for things that weren't disasterous, but were significant because maybe they could have been disasterous. Actually, that sounds like a good idea to me, but yes, a lot of work. By the way, shouldn't Category:Disasters be a subcategory of Category:Incidents? Mlm42 (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Mlm42 makes an excellent point which I hadn't considered.


 * I introduced several dozen categories about 5% of what is needed. I am not a transport person! So have resigned after "fixing" the one or two articles/categories I eye-balled. Good luck! :)  Student7 (talk) 14:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Maritime Transport task force
Hi. I've opened a discussion for converting WikiProject Maritime Trades to a task force of WikiProject Transport with a name along the lines of "Maritime Transport task force". The discussion is here and comments are welcome. Cheers. Haus Talk 09:36, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Without distracting attention from the discussion linked above, I propose the same thing for the seaports wikiproject, which is entirely comprised of maritime transport articles but is languishing for want of new members or wider interest. I've started a similar discussion to Haus' one here - I think an ideal outcome would be for the Maritime Trades and the Ports WikiProjects to be combined as a WikiProject Transport taskforce covering all aspects of maritime trade activities including the shore-based port infrastructure and management. - Euryalus (talk) 11:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Canals
Are canals within the scope of the Transport project? I see that the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal have the Transport template, but on the other hand the Erie Canal does not. Should I add the Transport template to the Erie Canal, or for that matter, defunct canals like the Leiper Canal? --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:03, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, this project seems a bit inactive.. but its Maritime transport task force is probably a natural place for canals. They seem to have their own banner. Mlm42 (talk) 23:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Canals, including historic canals are certainly part of maritime transport. You can add an article to the Maritime task force using the following syntax:  .  The other banner that currently exists is intended to be phased out when some design issues have been sorted out.  Cheers.  Haus Talk 14:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Reworking the Maritime Trades WikiProject as a task force of WP:TRANSPORT has suggested a couple of changes that could be made to the WikiProject Transport banner. I'd like to propose adding two features to the banner.

The first proposed change would be adding a "B-class checklist", like many other wiki-projects include in their banner, to help in assessing articles. With the checklist, the assessor is given some help in determining whether an article meets the B-class standard. Also, editors who want to improve an article, are given some feedback on what needs to be done to get the article to B-class.

Some projects define a C-class article as meeting a certain subset of the B-class criteria. For example, WP:SHIPS defines a C-class article as meeting criteria B3, B4, and B5.

The second proposed change would involve adding project-level support for peer-reviews. The advantage would be that, down the road, the main transport wikiproject and other task forces would have a shared peer-review page that members could watch.

Cheers. Haus Talk 13:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Bratislava Metro
Hey guys-

I apologize for being one of those people that pops into an established WikiProject to ask a leading question (since I know they can be sometimes frustrating), but I'm afraid I'm going to be that guy. Is there anyone in the WikiProject who specializes at all in Metros? I've been trying to find some stuff on the Bratislava Metro under construction. There are articles on the Czech and Slovak wikipedias about it, but nothing yet in English. matt91486 (talk) 18:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed revisions to parking meter article
Over the past few weeks I have made some revisions to the Parking meter article that have primarily consisted of adding citations, removing uncited material, and some restructuring. I have also posted on the article’s Talk page discussing the proposed revisions and the problems with the article as I saw them, but the article as well as its Talk page appear to be fairly inactive at this time. In the spirit of WP:Bold I would like to move forward with another edit that would address certain WP:RS citation problems with the Chicago parking meter lease deal subsection and bring the material up to date. I have made efforts to keep my style of writing encyclopedic, provide reliable sources for the material, and adhere to Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. To provide an example of these changes, I have posted my revised version of the article to my user page’s sandbox. Please feel free to take a look and provide any feedback you may have here, or on my user Talk page. Thanks for your time and happy editing! Henryscobie (talk) 13:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * After posting the above comment proposing edits to the Parking Meter article and providing what I felt was an adequate period of time for other editors to look over the revisions and provide feedback, I have gone ahead and implemented the revisions outlined above. As always, I recognize that Wikipedia is a work in progress and welcome any feedback or continued dialogue on these and other edits.  Thanks for your time!

Please review Articles for deletion/Aaron Tobey which concerns Aaron Tobey Richmond Airport 4th Amendment Naked Protest
and proposals being discussed there for a potential merged or more general additional article on US civilian aiport security regulation issues and public reactions, perspectives on and by foreign travelers, sociology, law, cultural phenomenology, and international context. The later detection of Fukushima radiation at US airports, which is not yet mentioned in this article, is also being discussed as a subtopic to be added into a general article. Separately from the 'criiticms' subsection on the US Transportation Security Administration alone.

Articles for deletion/Don't touch my junk is a second related AfD regarding another article which also presents a US airport bodily search protest.

A potential general article not only on protest but on efficacy, social context, and events which are of national and international note in these regards would also include breaking 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and Fukushima I nuclear accidents news such as Japan radiation sets off O'Hare airport alarms -- CBS News Chicago station reports trace amounts of radiation clinging to flights from country ravaged by earthquake, tsunami:


 * "Trace amounts of radiation from Japan have been detected in Chicago, CBS News station WBBM-TV reports.

Travelers coming in from Japan on Wednesday triggered radiation detectors at O'Hare International Airport as they passed through customs. Only very small amounts of radiation were detected.

...Feds move more radiation monitors to West Coast...

"We are aware of the radiation," said Chicago Aviation Department spokeswoman Karen Pride. "We are adding screenings and precautionary measures."

...Radiation was also found in luggage and on passengers on flights from Japan.

Mayor Richard M. Daley and other city officials wouldn't provide any additional details, saying federal authorities were handling the situation.

"Of course the protection of the person coming off the plane is important in regards to any radiation and especially within their families," Daley said at an unrelated event."

Lack of Clear Definitions in The Transport Branch
Hallo all, for long time I struggle with ambiguous terms in my (transport) branch. I heard, philosophers before start a discussion, first agree terms, which they want to discuss to speak of the same things. It seems to me as a good practice. Consider –

Mass Transport Definition
Is the mass transport the same as the public transport? Is the non-public transport of workers organized by employer or schoolbus subset of mass transport? Why not? But it is certainly no public transport.

Division lines Among Kinds of Transport
E.g. In my case, it is important to clear distinguish between DRT and taxi, shared taxi or regular bus service. I have prepared a diagram, which I would like to place on all relevant wiki-pages (Public transport, DRT, taxicab, shared taxi etc.). It is in SVG format, so anybody can edit it. Please keep on mind its main purpose - to put clear meanings to the terms. Rkoblizek (talk) 08:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Rename of introductions categories
I have proposed Category:Vehicles introduced by year and Category:Locomotives introduced by year be renamed to use the by year of introduction form. You may participate in the discussion at CfD 2012/May/24.- choster (talk) 18:06, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Inconsistencies in vehicle categorization
Several inconsistencies have been pointed out in the categorization schemes for vehicles in what should otherwise have been a rather mundane category rename (CfD 2012/May/24 Vehicles introduced by year). I was wondering if anyone could point me to relevant discussions about the use of "vehicles," "motor vehicles," "road vehicles," "cars," and/or "automobiles," and how they are presently defined. The nearest I could find is "An "automobile" is a car" from 2006, about the scope of WP:Automobiles, which seems to have been inconclusive. As it stands the categories are something of a hodgepodge of naming and organizational conventions. For example, Category:Motor vehicles is a redirect to Category:Automobiles, when Category:Road vehicles would seem a much more reasonable target. We find Category:Honda ATVs under Category:Honda vehicles under… Category:Cars of Japan, even though an ATV is neither a car nor a road vehicle. I would like at the very least to see "road vehicle" reappropriated from being synonymous with automobile, but do not want to interfere with the work of the project if in fact these questions have been hashed out before conclusively.- choster (talk) 23:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC) To follow up, here are a few additional concerns that have recently surfaced: My intent is not to criticize, but to ask whether it is simply a lack of manpower or interest in categorization that has led to these issues, or if no consensus was ever achieved on account of some point of contention, or if they have never been considered. I am happy to assist with cleanup, or to help formulate a roadmap and guidelines for future categorization. Above all, as a frequent denizen of CfD, I want to avoid using the somewhat clumsy tool of CfD for enacting potentially large-scale changes, when there are subject matter experts who can work out the schema in the Projects. - choster (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Vehicle "nationality" — It is unclear what is intended by "Cars of Foo" categories, and indeed whether such categorization can be meaningful in the modern, globalized market. If it is intended to classify all cars sold in a national market, massive category clutter would result. The major manufacturers have long been transnational, with operations in many countries, and with models produced for markets that are never introduced into the "home" market. Supply chains similarly have long been globalized, so parts may be manufactured in several different countries for final assembly yet other countries. The aircraft categories sidestep this issue with Category:International aircraft, but there are far more cars, trucks, and motorcycles that would take that moniker. The world car Fiat Palio is assembled in ten countries— none of them Italy, despite all Category:Fiat vehicles being considered a subset of Category:Cars of Italy— with parts no doubt sourced from many more.
 * Categorizing by make/marque or by manufacturer? Ford is a brand of Ford Motor Company. So I would think Category:Ford vehicles would be cars named Ford Foo and whatnot, and that is what the category description says as well. Nevertheless, Category:Mercury vehicles and the like are subcats. These are Ford Motor Company vehicles, but not Ford vehicles. It doesn't seem like a one-off from an over-ambitious editor either, because Category:Toyota vehicles has Scion and Daihatsu within it, and Category:Volkswagen vehicles says it is for any vehicle of the entire Volkswagen Group.
 * We have various competing naming conventions: Category:Cars of the Soviet Union and Category:Soviet automobiles with no explanation of what the difference is supposed to be.
 * Introduction and production year categories: I have read through the past debates on manufacture year versus model year, and see no need to rehash old controversies. What would be helpful, however, is to know what the actual guidelines are and reflect that in the category descriptions. If a car is presented as a concept at a car show, is that arguably its year of introduction? That may be a silly question to a car enthusiast, but since WP is supposed to be a general purpose reference, it is worth spelling out. Second, the use of decade categories currently reflects production, but it is a bit ambiguous.


 * Yes, I think it's mostly a lack of manpower. You'd be welcomed if you took care of the cleanup of these inconsistent or redundant categories.Nationality can be a sticky issue. There's a terrible debate over how to group the old and new Mini, based on how English or German one chooses to view the cars. Template:Two wheelers in India is an example of the need for clarification. Yamaha Motor Company and Harley-Davidson clearly should not be categorized as Indian companies, but they belong on a template like this if you view them as manufacturers which have an important presence in India. Similarly, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, and many more, have factories in the US and around the world, and so they can be thought of as relevant to the country where they're made, even if the base of the corporate parent isn't American.I really have no idea whether to say Rolls-Royce or Mini care German or British brands. A category that accurately describes them is fine by me: Category:British-made cars, for example, or Category:Japanese motorcycles made in the US or Category:American motorcycles made in India. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes there is many,many problems with these cats,


 * the make/marque or by manufacturer? question is quite hard, it goes wrong often because we eg. have bare "Toyota vehicles" its unclear, if we want to subcat all companies/brands owned by some parent company we should use "Toyota Motor Corporation vehicles" and under that "Toyota vehicles", "Scion vehicles" etc. so this is only naming of cat. Anyway we need to have brand/manufacturer specific cats, these cant to be grouped under parent company.


 * Country specific categories, this is hard to say, I think its made mainly for cars which dont have any main cat that can be used, for example only one car made company so there is no "XXXXX vehicles" cat what can be used. This seems to be also "national pride" question. The problem is also that there is no strick rule is it for car made in certain country or is it for company that is situated in certain country.


 * Introduction and production year categories: this problem is much releted also to the problem that "model year" used in USA and "production years" used on somewhere else. We should have grouped rules for all these, for example to these categories, automobile timeline templates etc, then we need to decide that introduction year, is it the 1st production year (or model year used in USA) or can it be for instance year of first unveiling in some motor show.
 * This case would need more opinions before making any changes/fixings. -- >Typ932 T&middot;C 06:10, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Having dealt extensively with categorising over in the Commons, I can only commiserate with y'alls future stresses. As for productive suggestions, is it possible to list a vehicle by both introductory Year and Model Year within a single template? I'm thinking something like, which would allow an article to be listed in whichever preferred format. This might also be extended to other more closely defined things like  . Obviously mine is a very vague suggestion and I don't know exactly what is possible within the WP programming parameters. Additionally, there are obviously still judgements to be made - while the Toyota Avalon is obviously almost exclusively an American Toyota product, the Corolla still remains hard to classify properly.

 * Perhaps "recent edits" was rather inaccurate: there's over a year's worth. This came up during a session of vandal-fighting with Huggle and at the time I was concerned about the lack of referencing, apparent moving around of the graphics at random, recent reverts by two other editors, no edit summaries, portable IP addresses (all from the same ISP), unwillingness to discuss - all possible indicators of long-term subtle vandalism. Or maybe just someone playing around - why, I wondered, just to pick one at random, would the Australian no right turn sign be removed in this edit and replaced in this one? But as I said, if someone with an eye for these things thinks the end result is valid, I'm happy to AGF – we don't all work in the same way! —S MALL  JIM   15:38, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Automobile safety
I've just spent some time editing Automobile safety, and there are two issues with it that should probably be addressed by members of this project.

1. A sentence in § Teenage drivers:
 * Commercial services also exist to that provide a notification phone number to report unsafe driving such as IsmyKidDrivingSafe.com and CarefulTeenDriver.com.

These were commercial services. An anonymous user commented a few days ago that both these URLs are dead: they're parked, domains up for sale. (Talk:Automobile safety) They're archived on the Wayback Machine, and I added those links with the "dead link" flag template. But I don't know if there are other services still current, and without that info the sentence is both undocumented and unhelpful. I've commented the whole sentence out in the wikicode.

2. ETSC and European Transport Safety Council both redirect to the article (redirects by, 22:33, 18 March 2007). But there's no mention of either in the article or the talk page. The European Transport Safety Council is evidently real enough, but it seems pointless, or nearly so, to redirect an article to another one that doesn't even mention it.

--Thnidu (talk) 03:01, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree. European Transport Safety Council just redirects to Automobile safety, which makes no mention of the ETSC. The purpose of a WP:REDLINK is to encourage someone to add a new article covering that topic. So the current redirects are defeating that purpose. Possible directions to take are:
 * delete the redirects and hope somebody will create true articles.
 * leave the redirects and hope somebody will create country specific section(s) within Automobile safety mentioning such bodies as the ETSC and the US NHTSA.
 * either of the above but actually do the work immediately (at least in a starter fashion).  Stepho  talk 04:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Leaflet For Wikiproject Transport At Wikimania 2014
Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Possible new FA candidate; may need more print sources
The article Transportation in South Florida recently failed a FAC due to some sourcing syntax and need for more print sources; it is a very large and broad article. It has been added at Peer Review. Claims that are more difficult to source are things such as the existential qualities of a given road, namely physical details such as where a curve is (I've often seen this kind of simple observational stuff go unsourced without issue, but as a possible FA it shouldn't).

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

List of world's most expensive transport infrastructure
I'm curious about people's opinion of the article List of world's most expensive transport infrastructure. At the moment it is an incredibly problematic article, and I'm not sure it is fixable. Basically there doesn't seem to be a lot of authoritative lists in WP:RS of this topic out there, so that leads me to think that it is certainly WP:OR at the moment, and that it may be doomed to remain so. In the absence of at least one academically rigorous list of this kind I think the article should be scrapped due to a number of basic problems. 1) presently it compares vastly different types of infrastructure to one another in a way that isn't terribly useful. For example, it compares the construction of entire systems to components of others, vastly different types of infrastructure, and doesn't clearly define what qualifies for the list. 2)costs are compared only in nominal terms which isn't really very useful, at least not without a clear guide to inflation adjusted amounts 3) there's no control on what costs do and do not count. 4) Presently it isn't even remotely systematic. It omits many major projects, giving a rather skewed idea of what "the most" expensive projects are (there is clearly an element of geographic and temporal bias here). 5) The list implies that it gives a complete picture of "the most" expensive infrastructure, and should thus be reasonably complete already, rather than aiming for some future level of completeness.

This is all problematic enough, and potentially misleading enough that I think it should just be deleted unless some authoritative sources to structure the list can be found. I have had a look around but can't find such lists, mostly just lists based on this, or much more limited lists, or sensationalist ones that don't purport to be rigorous. Just adding ad-hoc examples together is very problematic for this kind of complex list. I'd be open to breaking it down by type of infrastructure, but here we'd also have to find something authoritative to structure an eventual list. Any thoughts? Peregrine981 (talk) 22:15, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm a new participant to the Wiki Transport group. I thought I'd take a look and give my two sense. I agree with what you've said. The article doesn't seem to add much value in my view. I had a hard time looking at it without wanting to leave the page. On the upside, it does have a handful of reliable sources. A few I noticed were Popular Mechanics, New York Magazine, BBC News, USA Today, the Federal Highway Administration, to name a few. But overall, if the article was deleted, I wouldn't object.

duplicate articles - Special transport and Oversize load
I've just discovered we have two articles, Special transport and Oversize load that both cover similar topics - the first from a European (primarily Romanian with a splash of Dutch) perspective the second from a primarily United States perspective (with a paragraph about New Zealand). Neither are good articles - special transport is sparse and poorly written, oversize load is too focused on pilot cars (escort vehicles). I would not be surprised to find that we have other articles too lying about.

I propose that we should merge these articles, but where too? Abnormal load or Wide load (a dab page) would be the British English title (Abnormal Load redirects to Special transport), and so should be at least a redirect. Convoi exceptionnel is the French term that is used as standard on warning signs carried on the vehicles in Europe and so should also redirect to wherever the article is located. Thryduulf (talk) 21:44, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I support having a merger of Special transport into Oversize load, to help consolidate the topic. As for creating redirects, I've no objections to that either.  Rcsprinter123    (drawl)  @ 21:52, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * With no other comments, I'll mark Oversize load as the target and create the redirects to there. Thryduulf (talk)

Proposal for updating Naming conventions (ships)
Following a Request for Comment on the matter of ship article disambiguation, I have drafted an updated version of Naming conventions (ships). The proposed text can be found at User:Saberwyn/Proposed ship naming and disambiguation conventions update. Your project is being notified because the proposal affects a large number of articles in your scope.

The most significant change to the guideline is that the only form of disambiguation for articles on ships is the year of launch, expressed in the format "(yyyy)". All other forms of disambiguation are depreciated, such as pennant/hull number, ship prefix, or ship type. Using ship prefixes in article titles for civilian/merchant ships is also depreciated, unless part of the ship's "common name". Examples have been updated as a result of the RFC and other recent discussions, and in some cases, elaborated on. A list of other changes can be found at User:Saberwyn/Proposed ship naming and disambiguation conventions update.

Discussion and comments are welcomed at User talk:Saberwyn/Proposed ship naming and disambiguation conventions update. -- saberwyn 04:06, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

More details needed on ports
I just finished doing a major merge and tidying of listings on:


 * List of ports and harbours of the Atlantic Ocean
 * List of ports and harbors of the Pacific Ocean
 * List of ports and harbours of the Indian Ocean
 * List of ports and harbors of the Arctic Ocean
 * Inland port

If anyone is interested in learning some geography (I found it fun for a few days), there are many details to be filled in for various tables, especially which body of water a given port is on, and lat/lon coordinates (so we can sort by those things). In some cases, regions outside North America need to be converted from lists into tables, and more information added. It might also be good to set a sensible default sort order, which I didn't bother with as I had too many moving pieces. I did a ton of ironing out, so it should be smooth sailing - just takes some time to look up all the relevant facts. -- Beland (talk) 00:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Bus & Coach of the Year Notable?
Is the subject of this article notable? I am somewhat conflicted. It is clearly considered important within the industry, but I am having trouble finding any in depth coverage from independent mainstream sources. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I can only find press releases announcing the winners, no in depth coverage. The Oakland Tribune has a few articles about the adoption of new Belgian made buses proudly labeled "Bus of the Year"; the articles seem only interested in the award in so far as they can make reference to it ironically . I don't think this would survive AfD. Probably the ampersand should be replaced with 'and', as WP:AND kind of suggests. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Request for some helpful editors
Hey everyone, I'm working on a task that I would greatly appreciate some help with from this WikiProject. Effective June 18th, MTA Maryland instituted its BaltimoreLink program, which has drastically altered the bus system here in the Baltimore metro area. This has meant a change of all buses routes in name, actual route, in some case destination, and in general the old List of MTA Maryland bus routes article is no longer valid, along with all of the routes (save a few that were just renamed, nothing else). I'm working on the table to list the routes (which will take time), but I was wondering if there could be some editors that wouldn't mind creating a few new articles on these routes. If you have questions about where to find info, let me know and I can try to help the best I can. Unfortunately this is a project I can't do myself, not to mention what to do with the now historical and no longer functioning routes. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:00, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Approximately how many articles need to be created, how much editing would this task be overall?  Rcsprinter123    (consult)  15:48, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * There are 12 CityLink routes (all new, Red and Lime have been created), 42 LocalLink routes (16 created, one changed), 11 ExpressBusLink routes (4 created). All told that's 42 articles I think.

Feedback requested for the Iteris article
Hello, WikiProject Transport. On behalf of Iteris, I am submitting a series of requests to improve the company's Wikipedia article. I've proposed some additions about the company's traffic- and transportation-related technologies, including their advanced traveller information system, lane departure warning system, and intelligent transportation system. I've received some feedback from one editor, who seems to be responding to all of the edit requests I'm submitting, but I'm hoping to get additional feedback from other editors, preferably those who are familiar with traffic and transportation.

Are there any project members who are willing to review my proposed additions, specifically the 2 short paragraphs seen here? Editors are welcome to review the previous requests, if interested, but really this comment is specific to the first half of the "Traffic and transportation" section seen in this draft article.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  07:59, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Some new articles on scooter-sharing.
I noticed that we didn't have anything about scooter-sharing, which was surprising to me. I've added Bird (company), Scooter-sharing system, and Travis VanderZanden, along with Category:Scooter sharing; electric kick scooter is currently a section in another article, but it might deserve to be split out into its own thing. I'd welcome feedback, help or pointers to anything important I've missed. (I'm especially curious about any data about whether scooters take modeshare away from carshare or from walking.)

Chicago Express Loop - rail or not?
Not sure whether this project is active, but I am unsure whether rail categories and content are appropriate in Chicago Express Loop. Can someone take a look.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:04, 15 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Tricky. I gather it is a tunnel with concrete guide rails that individual electric cars drive down. There is no steering mechanism besides guide wheels following the concrete guide rails and the passengers have no input to the controls. I'd tentatively classify that as a light rail system similar to the rubber tyred light rail systems between terminals in many airports (eg Singapore).  Stepho  talk 22:45, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * , I am unsure if there are templates to add this article to. Template:High-speed railway lines, Template:USLightRail do not seem to include proposed lines.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:28, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I missed the 'proposed' part. The 'Proposed railway lines in Illinois' cat should do fine then. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If somebody removes it from the other cats because it is only a proposed line (not real yet) then worry about it then. Good chance nobody will remove it.  Stepho  talk 21:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Category Higher-speed rail vs. High-speed rail
Hello,

as I do not edit en.wiki often and therefore I am not familiar with the customs, category system etc., I do not want to make some mess and rather writing it here: The Category:Higher-speed rail seems badly categorized to me, as it certainly isn't a subcategory of Category:High-speed rail in the United States. Yet, following the tree up leads me to Category:High-speed rail, which only seems to be duplicating the aforementioned one, despite not having the main article. I leave it to someone else to clean this up, or if you think it's all right, then pardon me for disturbing your circles. --YjM (talk) 22:45, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like we have two articles - Higher-speed rail, which is fast, and high-speed rail, which is even faster. Each of those has a category containing the articles of appropriate systems, with High-SR being higher up the category tree and Higher-SR a subcat further down. Therefore, I think the categories as they stand are alright.  Rcsprinter123    (visit)  21:29, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject Transportation: Scope Question
Hello,

I am a college student who is interested in editing Wikipedia articles. I was wondering if any of the "new" auto industry companies (e.g., car sharing, ridesharing, peer-to-peer sharing) who fall under the category of this project? It looks like a lot of those pages relating to the industry have not been updated in a while.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.208.72.18 (talk) 13:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Urgent help needed at Metrobus (Washington, D.C.)
Hi transport Wikipedians! If any of you could help in any way to deal with Metrobus (Washington, D.C.) that would be great! I think the entire article might need to be rewritten.

Include Canals
Does properly include canals? Consider Talk:Rhine–Main–Danube Canal when answering.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 19:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Can you clarify what you are asking please. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 20:32, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * My example includes, but French canals such as Talk:Canal du Midi or Talk:Canal des Deux Mers have only France, and not Transport, and several have empty talk pages. English canals have {WikiProject UK Waterways|mapneeded=no|class=B|importance=Top}} and the like. So do canals in France have France, but noting to indicate that the article is about form of Transport, a canal? I must admit I have not looked at Italian or Spanish canals, much less India or China. Most American canals like the Erie Canal or the Pennsylvania Canal rely on the word Canal, and only Civil Engineering is a hint on the talk page. Perhaps that is too much clarification, but I am passionate about Bridges and Canals and Dams.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 03:28, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * So you are actually asking for articles on French canals to be included in WikiProject Transport, Maritime? Seems reasonable, as you point out, British canals are generally included. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 08:35, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Suggest you read WikiProject Transport/Assessment for furter information about how to do it. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 08:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I added: I request be allowed for French canals. Germany already has this WikiProject. Consider Talk:Rhine–Main–Danube Canal as an example.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Correction at Wheely article
Hello! My name is Elena and I work for Wheely. I registered an account to propose updates to the company's page, which I'll post at Talk:Wheely for editors to review. For my first request, I've proposed updated wording to replace an outdated sentence, "Further expansion is scheduled on summer 2019, this time the company launches in Paris." Is someone here at WikiProject Transport able to help? Elena Wheely (talk) 18:11, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for your suggestions! Though I did initially suspect a WP:COI due to you working at the company, I found that all your points are valid. I just wanted to know, you are aware you can do these yourself? has since done them but it would be much more convenient for you and all of us at WikiProject Transport if you didn't have to ask every time you wanted an edit! Just a suggestion, feel free to ask any questions. — Yours,  Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ  • Talk∕Contribs 19:33, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. While I appreciate your permission to edit the article myself, I prefer not to given my conflict of interest. This is why I've shared requests on the Talk page, but so far few updates have been made to the article. I've just posted an additional request, if you're willing to take a look. There are so many problems with this article, and part of the issue may be the translation from Russian and reliance on Russian-language sourcing. I will share some English-language sources on the Talk page soon, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any assistance from editors. Thanks again, Elena Wheely (talk) 14:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Night service (public transport)
Would someone from this WikiProject mind taking a look at this article and assessing it. I tried to clean up some of the formatting, etc., but there's still probably more that needs to be done. Most of the content is unsourced and some is a bit promotional in tone. Moreover, it's not entirely clear from some of the entries how they belong in the article since I'd image most major cities worldwide have public transportation systems that operate 24/7. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I've quickly ran it through a peer review programme and posted the results on the talk page. It's usually quite good and is able to tell you where the article is at fault. — Yours, Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ  • Talk∕Contribs 16:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Tram article division
The main wiki article on Trams is very long, and I think we need to consider what to simplify and move to another article, and what to remove. I've posted this on the talk page of the article: This article is waaay too long. Perhaps we could consider moving sections to new articles (which I've done for the "Design" section) and providing a summary in their place, or removing information that is already present in existing articles. There are two things we could do: Given its importance to both the Transport and the Technology WikiProjects, we should consider what to do so that the article is succinct yet informative. Jh15s (talk) 08:22, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The history section should be checked to see if it shares the same information as the History of Trams article, and vice versa. If there are differences in the two articles, the differences should be merged into the History of Trams article and a summary left instead in the "History" section of the main Trams article (this one).
 * The lists of trams systems and statistics should similarly be checked for differences and be merged with their respective main articles. Similarly a summary should also be provided.

WP:Articles for Creation has a new sort tool, you can see all pending transport-related drafts here: AfC sorting/History and Society/Transportation
Just in case there are folks here who might be interested in reviewing drafts awaiting article status that are particular to this WikiProject. If you'd like to sign up to review/approve/decline new Drafts, instructions are here. AFC Reviewers get to use really cool automated tools that make reviewing really quick and easy, and I've really enjoyed volunteering there, and I'm really digging the AFC Sorting tool so instead of having to comb through lots of articles, I can zip right to topics I'm interested in.

Vehicle/automotive technology - Wejo (company) article request
Hello everyone!

I'm looking for someone to write an article for the company I work for, Wejo, who partner with automotive manufacturers to organise and enhance streams of authentic connected vehicle data unlocking its value for drivers, public and private sector organisations.

I'm unable to write the article myself due to conflict of interest, but I have submitted a request with a description and included multiple independent, reliable sources. Here is the link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences#Vehicle/automotive_technology

Wejo believes in the power of Data for Good - that's why we want to make connected car data accessible to even more like-minded businesses to drive innovations in safety, convenience and sustainability. Having a Wikipedia page will help raise awareness of the exciting work we do, so it would be great if someone could help me set this up.

Let me know if you have any questions.
