Căile Ferate Române[edit]

Article about Romania's state railway carrier. I'm nominating it because I've worked on it, along with some other contributors, in the past week, and I feel that it is very comprehensive and well-formatted with a lot of information. The subject is also interesting, IMHO :) It's gone through peer review over at Wikipedia:Peer review/Căile Ferate Române/archive1. Thanks, Ronline 11:23, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support, great article, lots of information, well structured, a good model for rail transport articles around wikipedia. Should go on the front page.--Xanthar 12:49, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question: Are the '✓' characters in the first table there on purpose or is it some odd font? I'll need to read fully before supporting or opposing. - Mgm|(talk) 18:06, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
The ✓ character is the Unicode tick character (see Tick (disambiguation). I asked in peer review about it and they said it's fine and it should also be the encouraged way of showing ticks. By the way, are you getting squares instead of ticks? The symbol should be a tick sign. Some browsers come up with a square bullet instead of a tick. Ronline 00:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Minor object, the lead should summarise the content of the atricle and bullet points in the lead are not necessary and should be turned to prose. Also I'm having problems with the images overlapping the tables, some may need to be moved and or removed.--nixie 23:28, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What resolution are you viewing at? I've tested on 800x600 and none of the images (in the Locomotives section) overlap... (I'm using Firefox and have also tested in IE) As to summarising the article, should I actually talk about the different classes of passenger service in the lead? They're already summarised in the "lead" of the passenger services section... I've reformed the lead section by cutting out the bullets and adding a sentence about the date of founding. Is there anything else that should go in there? Thanks, Ronline 00:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm viewing at higher resolution, my work computer in 1024x768, not sure resolution the monitor at home is at, but in both cases (both with firefox) some of the images in the sections on diesel locomotives and diesel multiple units overlap with the table. The lead is heaps better now.--nixie 00:58, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Its because I'm using the Classic skin, in the default skin in works fine.--nixie 01:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
OK! Thanks. Is there anything else that should go in the lead? Ronline 01:56, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I can think of, Support--nixie 03:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Some minor issues per Nixie but all around a great article. Briangotts 02:59, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Well done. I've fixed some grammar and links within the prose. slambo 10:52, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

  • comment The table in #intercity is empty! If it is not filled in, it should be replaced with a list, a map or a schematiics of some sort.Circeus 12:51, July 15, 2005 (UTC) Just noticed that this was answered aearilier. Still, most users won't be able to see them, even if it's the "correct" way to display them.
Empty? The rolling stock columns have a tick symbol (✓) to indicate what rolling stock each route uses. Are you having trouble seeing that (User:MacGyverMagic had the same problem too I think)? If yes, then they probably need to be changed to another symbol. Thanks, Ronline 12:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I don't see the need for ticks at all. Why not simply use "yes" or something alike?Circeus 13:04, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Implemented. The ticks have been replaced with "Yes" while the rest of the spaces are blank (putting "No" would clutter the table too much and would result in a slightly different meaning) 09:26, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
  • My personal preference would be to list the name of the rolling stock within the table, instead of using tick symbols, but I won't let that stand in the way of my support. JYolkowski // talk 21:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The only problem with that would be that some routes have both classic and Desiro rolling stock, and therefore you wouldn't really be able to have just one column titled "Rolling stock" where you would list the rolling stock. To respond to Circeus' concerns, I am changing the ticks to "Yes". i am just wondering what people think... is placing "yes" instead of ✓ [tick symbol] better?
