Hello IsaacArrows47593. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm S0091, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Hi IsaacArrows47593, I took the liberty of adding the draft template to your draft so you can submit it review and I also added a couple Wikiprojects to the talk page which may help draw interest from other editors. S0091 (talk) 20:47, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Danners430. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Locomotive Services Limited, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Danners430 (talk) 13:21, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Locomotive Services Limited, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SovalValtos (talk) 17:17, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I cited a reliable source for the location of 37401 that is used elsewhere in the article. What is the point of the current location tab if there is no way to prove the location of the locomotives. IsaacArrows47593 (talk) 17:50, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Agreed there is no point in a current location tab for a loco which by its very nature might be moved at any time. I suggest removing the column to improve the article. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 18:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I may look at replacing the Current Location tab with a tab that denotes where the locomotive is permanently based. Cheers. IsaacArrows47593 (talk) 18:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Locomotive Services Limited, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Not again… I’d argue the unsourced sections that were changed shouldn’t be there at all, but that would be something for the talk page. But you definitely can’t remove sources and replace the sourced content with unsourced content. Danners430 (talk) 20:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, IsaacArrows47593. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Locomotive Services Limited, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Danners430 (talk) 12:49, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
