Bristol trolleybuses



Hi, please see Talk:Bristol Commercial Vehicles#Trolleybuses ↗. I started the thread there instead of here, as it's specific to one article and other people might want to join in. --<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:05, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Danners430. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :BR Standard Class 4 4-6-0 ↗, but you didn't provide a reliable source ↗. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable ↗. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation ↗, your edit is archived in the page history ↗. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-unsourced1 --> <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 12:17, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hello Danners430. It's a little frustrating to receive this, as the bulk of my editing is focussed on adding references to a wide range of articles (note that I recently changed my username from mwsmith20). In this instance, all I was doing was changing the Mid-Hants Railway ↗ wikilink (which points to the historical railway) to Watercress Line ↗ (which points to the heritage railway). I briefly contemplated adding the citation to the railway website, but I could see that it was already present in the "status" column. To my mind, correcting a wikilink can't need a source, when there's one already present. I fully support the need for citing sources, but in this case it was unnecessary. Nevertheless, I have now updated that source (although it still points to the same place as it did before. Mapleman7 (talk) 12:46, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
