I am worried about Pioneer Zephyr. Are you still piloting that rescue? If it fails will you respond to any WP:GAC feedback? --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 07:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Train

Normally happy with your reverts [[1]], but not this time. The external link added was for a genuine railway website, and had as much a right to be on the page as some of the other links, which were (IMHO) equally as dubious in terms of their right (or need) to be on the page. Please explain your logic for removing this link, whilst allowing others to remain. Canterberry 00:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

external links

if it is such a problem I can post these to the company page. I didn't know there a difference before.

These links are beneficial because they are research reports that you would normally have to pay for by top analysts at Raymond James. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smac2020 (talk • contribs) 16:38, July 6, 2007.

July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 23:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

N&W

Sean: I am discouraged about the "image police" on WP. However, I will see if anyone in my Yahoo Groups has a photo they have taken and would donate which does a good job of giving us a closeup of a N&W logo. Mark, Vaoverland 17:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Tsk, silly me

Hey, thanks for updating the talk page of SR U Class. I plain forgot to update it after I'd promoted the article. You were quick, very quick! The Rambling Man 17:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.

Thank you for awarding the Barnstar. I shall continue my efforts regarding railway articles!--Bulleid Pacific 18:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Image question

I had a question about Image:AMTK 345 IN Porter.jpg. Do you recall what service that train was pulling that day? Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 01:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
