railforum.uk is not railforums.co.uk

Please check your "Revision as of 12:07, 7 May 2024" on the East Midlands Railway article.

You said "Railforums is not a reliable source", presumably referring to the discussion forum established in 2005. For some reason, you thought it was that (railforums.co.uk),

even though the source was in fact Rail Forum (railforum.uk) - quote from its homepage:

"Established in 1993, the Rail Forum is a national industry body with strong regional connections. Based at the heart of one of the largest clusters of rail companies in the world our members span the whole industry from global corporations to micro SMEs, asset owners to manufacturers, digital solutions providers to passenger and freight operators. An inclusive, not for profit organisation, our member companies are drawn from all parts of the UK."

I appreciate that we as people make mistakes, but this one could've been avoided if you had actually checked the page that was given as the source. Anamyd (talk) 02:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree, that's a mistake - however, like you say, mistakes happen, there's no need to get angry about it.

I would restore the content, but can't as you've made edits since. Danners430 (talk) 09:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't getting angry about it. Well that's me told. Anamyd (talk) 16:52, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

All good - I made a second mistake here… replying to talk page messages before my first coffee! Apologies for any offence caused, it wasn’t my intention, and apologies again for my mistake with the source. Danners430 (talk) 16:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

No beef. Anamyd (talk) 18:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Please don't make pointless invisible edits for that sole reason, especially not when they make future editing of the wikitext much more difficult. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

The edits are far from pointless. The entire point of formatting citations inline instead of with newlines is to make diffs easier to read. Heck, I've been chastised by other editors for writing citations like that. Danners430 (talk) 14:46, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Stalking behind other editors and mangling sources as soon as they're added is borderline HOUNDING. I don't expect much better from you, I've yet to see anything other than deletionism and pettiness from any of your edits, but it's not on. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
