Your submission at Articles for creation: Texas & New Orleans Class P-14 (December 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Trainsandotherthings were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Both sources are self-published and do not meet the requirements for significant coverage. Key claims also fail verification (the source doesn't say anything about the locomotives being scrapped).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Texas & New Orleans Class P-14 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Disambiguation link notification for February 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited New York Transit Museum, a link pointing to the disambiguation page The French Connection was added. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:55, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Several trains preserved by the museum have been featured in the movie "The French Connection" and I have not realized that this leads to a disambiguation page, my bad! TriStateGuy (talk) 20:10, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

"Signage History" sections

Hi, thanks for making the signage history galleries for the NYC Subway service pages - they're much appreciated. Per MOS:HEAD, though, these should be titled "Signage history", since we use sentence case in article section headings, except for proper names which retain their capitalization. I'll fix them now, but just a heads up for the future. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:29, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't realize that I had mass-copied "Signage history" as "Signage History". I have added more galleries today and fixed the capitalization errors. We're all humans at the end of the day and we make mistakes.

Once again, thanks for the notice :) TriStateGuy (talk) 00:33, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
