Stacey train edit

Re: [1][2][3]

The text of the reference clearly says in two places "Stacey" train, with quotation marks around Stacey and not train, no possessive apostrophe, and no capitalisation of train (excluding the title, which uses title case). If the reference is wrong (as alluded to here), then please provide a different reference. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:34, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

mitch, get creative - have a look yourself... use trove, try the variants. JarrahTree 01:42, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

have a look yourself — "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material...". I suggest that it would be more efficient if you wrote the articles to match the references that you supply in the first place, and/or cited references that match what you write in the article.

to quibble over the details of the trove lifted reference son the subject is missing the point, the sub editors who made the headlines in the 1940s and 1970s were not waiting for a grammatical analyses in the 2020s, a very sad way to spoil other peoples edits, and days...

To worry about the grammatical structure and analysis of reference titles is bizarre:

and that is not even considering http://railheritagewa.org.au/archive_scans//displayimage.php?pid=253 who insist in their wisdom 'stacey lamb train'.
