Nope, I'm the WaltTFB that joined the SVR forum last year.WaltTFB (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Telford Steam Railway

Hi Walt, no problem on the TSR article, glad I could help. I'm always happy to help on any railway-related articles. Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if you need further assistance. Best, Gwernol 12:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you the WaltTFB that also posts on SVR Online?

And who might you be? WaltTFB (talk) 19:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snailbeath Railways Page - links

Walt, I believe the group was temporarily renamed for no particular reason, no doubt to annoyance 'Snailbeach'. It has reverted to its orignal name, and I see 'Scarborugh Billy' has fixed the link much to the bots disgust!

Unusual deaths edit

There's discussion on the talk page about creating a separate list, but none has been started to my knowledge. You have to be careful though as the ironic criteria seems even more ORish than the unusual deaths (you can see our discussion about that issue as well). Bottom line is that either list could be subject to a deletion if anyone gets up the urge. NJGW (talk) 16:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

British Rail Railbuses

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in British Rail Railbuses, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

In your edit, you replaced required non-breaking spaces with regular spaces (before bhp) (WP:NBSP and WP:MOSNUM), and also in 63ft (although 63 ft was wrong anyway); I have changed these occurrences to use the {{convert}} template which gives the metric equivalents as well as the correct formatting.

In addition, by changing Northeast Corridor to North East Corridor, the correct link now pointed to a disambiguation page. Finally, changing "converted to 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) Irish gauge" to "converted to 1600mm gauge" not only gives the incorrect formatting, but attempts to jump to a non-existent section within the track gauge article.

I've added this talk page to my watchlist, should you wish to ask anything on formatting or similar topics. Tim PF (talk) 22:06, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tim PF, thanks for the belated welcome and the cookies! Something odd going on on the British Rail Railbuses page, as the only edit I made was to change the location of RB004 to a blank entry. Any idea how the other edits got attributed to me? Most puzzling...

WaltTFB (talk) 22:49, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it looks like this is the edit that actually happened (somehow). I find it odd that it appears such, as you normally edit by section, which is not possible from older versions, so I find it just as plausible that the software threw a wobbly.

I'll catch up with the few other bits that need reverting, and that's that. Tim PF (talk) 20:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that Tim, feel free to drop off more cookies anytime! WaltTFB 20:35, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

That's ok. I think I've got it back to normal again, so my additional formatting improvements and the weekend's changes for RB004's move are in this edit. Could you just check that I didn't screw things up, please? Tim PF (talk) 20:43, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me WaltTFB (talk) 22:20, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, WaltTFB. I see that you've already been around awhile and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Online Transport Archive (July 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Girth Summit were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No independent sourcing - just a link to the archive's website. Please read WP:NCORP for information about how we establish notability in organisations, including details on the required sourcing.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Online Transport Archive and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Online Transport Archive, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, WaltTFB! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! GirthSummit _(blether) 19:01, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GirthSummit! Thanks for the feedback on the draft page, I'll look into adding the required sourcing. WaltTFB (talk) 19:22, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I'll be happy to take another look at it once you've done some more work on the sourcing if you like, just ping me when you're done. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 19:26, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Online Transport Archive, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:29, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Online Transport Archive

Hello, WaltTFB. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Online Transport Archive".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid real life has intervened in the meantime, if I am able to find the required sources recreating the page will not be a great chore. Thanks for your message! WaltTFB (talk) 14:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
