Using Wikipedia for references[edit]

We can't use one Wikipedia article as a source for a fact put forward in another article. Wikipedia articles are not sufficiently reliable. See Wikipedia:Verifiability#Wikipedia and sources that mirror or use it. Bencherlite ^Talk 22:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please, for goodness' sake, go and read Wikipedia:Verifiability before you add any more sources to articles - especially featured ones. Prioryman (talk) 22:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Electric services using LMS and Bakerloo trains were introduced to Rickmansworth (LMS) in 1927, Bakerloo line services to Rickmansworth probably ceased in 1939 as part of wartime economies.<ref>A picture of a Bakerloo train at Rickmansworth can be found at http://www.newrailwaymodellers.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=26046</ref>" I've undone this edit of yours too for several reasons: (1) The lead section should be a summary of the article and not introduce new facts as you've done here. (2) Even if Rickmansworth deserves a mention in the article, you can't base your addition on one photo of a train on a web forum since (a) forums like that are generally not reliable sources, especially not for the higher standard required of featured articles (b) a photo of a train doesn't prove your claim or back up your dates and (c) "probably ceased in 1939 as part of wartime economies" sounds very dubious / guesswork / like someone's original research.
