Montérolier - Buchy Line to Saint-Saëns

[edit]

Saint Saëns station

  • ... that although the town of Saint Saëns provided 60,000 francs towards the construction of its own railway line, it was only enough to pay for the station (pictured)?

  • New enough, long enough. Offline foreign refs AGF. However, there are a few issues that need to be fixed before it's ready for DYK:
  • LEAD: I can't make sense of the run-on sentence which comprises the lead; please make it into at least two sentences. Also add the country in which this railway is located. And what does it mean that the railway "is a cul-de-sac"?
  • The town name of Saint-Saëns is linking to a person, not a town. Do you mean Saint-Saëns, Seine-Maritime?
  • In the last section, a month is missing.
  • Please add categories. You may wish to look at similar articles to get ideas for which categories are appropriate.
  • The image lacks a public domain tag in the United States.
  • The article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. See if you can mention it in other articles. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Ok, I'll rewrite it. Done. 10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC) Also, it being a cul-de-sac means that it is the rail equivalent of a no-through road.
  • Yes, I do. Done. 10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Same. Done.11:06, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • I'll check that out. It was published in 1904 or 1905, which is before 1923, so it is PD in the United States, so DONE.10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • I'll link to it in the town, and nearby railway articles. DONE11:02, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the quick response! I made a few more tweaks to the lead and to links. There is still a month missing in the "Closure" section. Yoninah (talk) 14:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Great! Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
