Montérolier - Buchy Line to Saint-Saëns edit
- ... that although the town of Saint Saëns provided 60,000 francs towards the construction of its own railway line, it was only enough to pay for the station (pictured)?

New enough, long enough. Offline foreign refs AGF. However, there are a few issues that need to be fixed before it's ready for DYK:- LEAD: I can't make sense of the run-on sentence which comprises the lead; please make it into at least two sentences. Also add the country in which this railway is located. And what does it mean that the railway "is a cul-de-sac"?
- The town name of Saint-Saëns is linking to a person, not a town. Do you mean Saint-Saëns, Seine-Maritime?
- In the last section, a month is missing.
- Please add categories. You may wish to look at similar articles to get ideas for which categories are appropriate.
- The image lacks a public domain tag in the United States.
- The article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. See if you can mention it in other articles. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll rewrite it. Done. 10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC) Also, it being a cul-de-sac means that it is the rail equivalent of a no-through road.
- Yes, I do. Done. 10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Same. Done.11:06, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'll check that out. It was published in 1904 or 1905, which is before 1923, so it is PD in the United States, so DONE.10:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'll link to it in the town, and nearby railway articles. DONE11:02, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks for the quick response! I made a few more tweaks to the lead and to links. There is still a month missing in the "Closure" section. Yoninah (talk) 14:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry, I must have missed that. I'll sort it now.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:51, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
