Queensland loco page[edit]

I double checked all the "Number in Class" columns and only the "A12 (small) class" was wrong (3 instead of 1). The "Classification" heading still needs a fix, but it seems to be much better than before. ----MountVic127 (talk) 07:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MountVic127: This is the state you left the table in when I commented on your talk page. Note that virtually every entry that you added to the "Number in Class" column is wrong. You had 13 for the A10 Avonside class, instead of 4; 4 for the A10 Nielsons instead of 13, 3 for the B11s instead of 4 etc. Please don't claim that only one was wrong when the evidence is right there that they almost all were wrong.

Date extinct column?[edit]

What about a "Date Extinct" column to compliment the existing "Date Built" column? ----MountVic127 (talk) 21:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MountVic127: you should focus on completing the "Number in Class" column first. "Date extinct" isn't the right title, since locomotives don't go extinct and some of the class members still exist. You could maybe add a "Disposition" column, but it would make that table too wide and it is complex to include the details of what happened to a class of locomotives. Overall, I wouldn't recommend trying to shoehorn that information into the table. Readers can go to the individual class articles to see what happened to each class.

Disambiguation link notification for April 6[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Granite Rock Co. 10, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aromas. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Chinatown (1974 film)[edit]

I don't understand why you reverted my edit on Chinatown to add Penthouse as one of the companies involved. The end credits of the movie literally say "A Paramount - Penthouse Presentation." Penthouse was given equal billing to the home studio in the credits. You can see the credit at 4:50 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsKFwwAPJqE Jamesluckard (talk) 23:27, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamesluckard: the source you gave did not say that. It said that Bob Guccione invested in the movie. That's different from Penthouse producing the movie. If you have a reliable source for your claim then you can add it to the article. Opolito (talk) 06:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The end credits of the movie are the best and most reliable, definitive source. They say the film was jointly made by Paramount and Penthouse. I don't understand why there would be a question about that. Jamesluckard (talk) 07:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't use the end credits as your source. You used a Vanity Fair article which only says that Guccione invested in the movie: [1]. Opolito (talk) 13:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no way to cite the end credits, and there is no usual expectation to do so. The article was an additional source, but I provided a solution in the Chinatown Talk page that I think will fix everything. :) Jamesluckard (talk) 02:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
