Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Windera Branch Railway, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

- Also, did it cross your mind that Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia and it might be a good idea to say what country these railiways are located in! I know you must think the idea outrageous, but have you thought of creating wikilinks? Slow down! Create one proper article at a time instead of posting multiple incomplete areticles. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:12, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Mount Cuthbert and Dobbyn Branch Railways. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 06:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bell Branch Railway, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.glidingcaboolture.org.au/CrossCountry/oakey.htm.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Bell Branch Railway et al
editHello, sorted out the (occasionally) dumb bot (see above) for you, have also wikified the above article so you can see how to include references and links. I may be totally wrong here BUT if your edits are copied word-for-word from copyright written material then WP:COPYVIO does apply and may well come back to bite you on the bum. So far, so good and a WP:BOLD editor is always welcome. Cheers Crusoe8181 (talk) 10:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

advice
editThe problem here is that you are using a single printed source, and it is not obvious whether or not you have copied from it--which is not permitted--you have to rewrite it completely, avoiding even Close paraphrase--you need to change not just the words, but the arrangement into sentences and the sequence of ideas. . What you need to do is to use additional sources as well, and give specific references indicating where you have found the information, including page numbers. DGG ( talk ) 17:23, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
