Hello L.S. inc.,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged P21 Gallery for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Meiloorun (talk) 🍁 23:50, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

November 2016

Hello, I'm Oshwah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to PVP seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:17, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop using Oshwah's Talk page as a scratch pad. If you would like to learn more about using Wikipedia, please see the list of helpful articles at the top of your Talk page. General Ization Talk 05:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Edits at train articles

Please see Wikipedia is not a directory. We do not need a list of red links (meaning links to articles that don't yet exist on Wikipedia, and may never exist) in the middle of an article. The is an encyclopedia. The articles are about the gauge and general characteristics of the model trains, not every manufacturer that might have ever produced them. Also please see Write the article first. General Ization Talk 05:22, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Might I suggest you consider writing a new article, say, List of manufacturers of model trains, that could contain a list of all manufacturers of model trains, the gauges they produced, the years they produced them, and perhaps other information about them? This article can then be linked (when it's ready) from existing articles about model trains. General Ization Talk 05:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

now WHY DID'NT I THINK OF THAT BEFORE? THANKS! L.S. inc. (talk) 05:38, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The simplest is to simply use # or * before each column or word in the list. Another option is a table, using Help:Table. SwisterTwister talk 21:02, 30 November 2016 (UTC)


i need help with making a talk page for Draft:List of manufacturers of model trains. L.S. inc. (talk) 19:27, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

A Draft never actually needs a talk page, as it's not an actual article yet. SwisterTwister talk 20:37, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
