Hello, Redhen Railcar SAR. It has been over six months since you last edited the

Hello, Redhen Railcar SAR. I'd like to suggest some background reading to advance your knowledge of the workings of Wikipedia – I remember all too well how daunting it was when I started off.

I mentioned in the Summary when I reverted your edits to Marree railway station:

"Unreferenced material. (You'll need reliable, published sources for additions such as these; Wikipedia isn't a fanzine.  ;-) The last 2 amending sentences give too much detail, and I'd suggest they be omitted."

If you'd like to include a citation and re-add your material, please do so. However, I suspect it's early days for you, and you aren't yet familiar with what's required when writing for an encyclopaedia. Help:Your first article is a good start (even if you are only amending other articles), especially the section on gathering references. The aspect you ran up against is:

In general, sources with no editorial control are not reliable. These include (but are not limited to) books published by vanity presses, self-published 'zines', blogs, web forums, Usenet discussions, personal social media, fan sites, vanity websites that permit the creation of self-promotional articles, and other similar venues. If anyone at all can post information without anyone else checking that information, it is probably not reliable.

If there are reliable sources (such as newspapers, journals, or books) with extensive information published over an extended period about a subject, then that subject is notable. You must cite such sources as part of the process of creating (or expanding) the Wikipedia article as evidence of notability for evaluation by other editors. If you cannot find such reliable sources that provide extensive and comprehensive information about your proposed subject, then the subject is not notable or verifiable and almost certainly will be deleted. So your first job is to go find references to cite.

In an instance such as this, I normally look to see if I can fix the problem, but the source of your information was a dead link, so I couldn't verify it. And I believe it is (or was?) a site where "anyone at all can post information without anyone else checking that information".

If you need any guidance on this, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or ask a question at the Help desk – I find the people there are very, er, helpful! – or you can leave me a message on my talk page and I'll be glad to help or at least point you in the right direction.

PS: The best thing to do straight away is to create an account, which has many many advantages.
