Mixed trains

Hi DMB, thank you for your comprehensive improvement of the mixed train article. I've just made a couple of tweaks. The first sentence is a definition from a specific source, so we can't change the wording or the source becomes invalid. Also the article is written in international English, mainly based on the terminology agreed by the International Union of Railways, so North American terminology should only be used where appropriate in those sections talking about North American practice. But do keep up the good work. Cheers. Bermicourt (talk) 07:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

"Queen of Sechelt"?

The article from the Prince George Citizen that you cited in your most recent edit to BC Ferries contains a misprint. There has never been a ship called "Queen of Sechelt" in the BC Ferries fleet. --  Denelson83  01:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Re your merge proposal for District 51 schools

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I BOLDly reditected two of the four schools you proposed merging to District 51 as there wasn't really anything to merge. The two secondary schools I left alone for now. I'll do some BEFORE on them, but I'm in the states, so if you're in Canada you may be better equipped to do the research than I. In any case if you don't find anything and I haven't gotten back to the merge discussion (and no one has objected to the merge proposal), I see no reason not to just go ahead and BOLDly redirect those as I did the others in a few days. I wouldn't anticipate any pushback. Secondary schools had a near presumption of notability until 2018 and there are many extant articles on high schools that don't meet today's standard for notability on schools. Happy editing! 69.92.163.38 (talk) 04:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
