some suggestions
[edit]In lieu of a real assessment I'll just leave a few observations:
- The lead mentions the start of tram usage in 1837 (they were presumably horse drawn trams?), but the History section starts out with a discussion of Loubat's girder rail of 1852 and does not provide any detail on the 1837 system. Where was the 1837 system? Was it steam or horse powered?
- The (sub)sections "Post-war closures", "Interesting details", and "Historic tramways still in operation" mention the longevity of the Lille and Saint-Etienne systems. This information presentation seems redundant and one or two of the items could be removed in my opinion. I recommend removing the item from the "Interesting details" list, and also renaming the "Interesting details" subsection title to something more specific. Perhaps "System sizes and speeds" or "Largest and fastest systems" or something along those lines might be more appropriate.
- The original author had the 1895 electrification of Tramway de Versailles but someone else came along with a claim that the tram in Clermont-Ferrand was electrified by 1890. Can a reference for the 1890 Clermont-Ferrand claim be found?
- Can the references be moved into {{cite web}} templates? I think they are favored in article reviews as allowing easier maintenance.
I do like this article and I hope these comments are helpful. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 01:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
[edit]Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
