This article contains information from irfca.org. if this creates copyright problems those materials should be excluded. I have recently found that irfca.org has granted permission on the text on their site from here. I am myself trying to verify it.--Iball 14:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Iball, do let me know what the results of your endeavor were. I know this is 14 years later and your last edit was in 2019 :-) Regards, Field Marshal (talk) 16:55, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Reason for moving

The word 'locomotive' better be capitalised.--Iball 18:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Why? It's not a proper noun. Slambo (Speak) 11:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Please take a moment to read Wikipedia:Naming conventions, specifically, "Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized (for example: John Wayne and Art Nouveau, but not Computer Game)." In this instance, Locomotives is not a proper noun, so it should not be capitalized. Slambo (Speak) 18:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I have re-moved the page to the original name--Iball 12:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

One user (User:LeoFrank) deleted in May all Metre and Narrow Gauge Locomotives. I think this is vandalism and nonsense. There are also books as source, but this user said there wouldn't be sources. I am German, I hope you can understand what I mean. --Universal-Interessierter^de (talk (de)) 22:10, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

After here was no reaction I recovered the worst deletions. --Universal-Interessierter^de (talk (de)) 23:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Duplicate lists

This article duplicates:

I suggest we remove such content, and remake this article as "List of steam locomotives of India". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
