Society has wound up for some time now, and rolling stock started being shifted away, what's the best way to update the article, is Facebook a source? As per: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ferrymead2ft/posts/4329016280461185

As a Facebook group I'd say that's not a reliable source. The best way would be to find a news article or a press release or something along those lines, and use that as a citation instead. pcuser42 (talk) 01:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

The only other source I can find is the Incorporated Societies register which shows the incorporated society was dissolved in March. I do recall seeing a mention of this though in I think NZRO or maybe Linesider, as all the equipment has gone to Blenheim (?) - will look into this --LJ Holden 07:05, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ok, so my edit got reverted. Surely it's against policy to have many years out of date, incorrect information in an article...
User:Bamyers99 User:pcuser42 User:LJ Holden Thoughts....?

I think the issue is you removed most of the article. Three non-Facebook sources show they're no longer operating:

Incorporated societies show they're dissolved (or at least their incorporated society is)
Ferrymead's own website doesn't list them anymore
Equipment listed with Riverside Railway that is listed in the article as being with the 2 Foot Railway Society.

I would edit the article so that it's past tense and add about the closure based on the above sources. --LJ Holden 09:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
