Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to File:Waggoner.jpg has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give W 24 Calbourne a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into W24 Calbourne. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. I have requested some repairs there, see here - I'll inform you when it's fixed. Thank you. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:W8Freshwater1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:W8Freshwater1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 01:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Userboxes

Please don't add userboxes like {{User UKRail}} to articles. These userboxes are just for user pages (I see you've used one on User:The busman1982).

There are some navigation box templates instead that are intended for use on article pages, in the way you seem to be trying to achieve. Mostly though we just add the categories manually.

You might find the Wiki Projects like WikiProject Trains and WikiProject UK Railways to be of interest to you. Thanks for editing, we can use more editors as there are lots of UK railway topics needing work done on them. Take a look at the project talk pages, or ask there.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/LB&SCR A1X Class W11 Newport a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into LB&SCR A1X Class W11 Newport. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Not only that, articles created via Articles for Creation need to be reviewed by other editors before they are released into mainspace. While the locomotive is notable enough to sustain an article, the article you created is completely unreferenced. This is not an insurmountable problem, but it is undesirable and creates unnecessary work for other editors. Please take a look at WP:REFB and try to add references to the article. Any questions, please ask. Mjroots (talk) 09:43, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
