Air powered (fireless) locomotive on display at Bankhead, Alberta.

For some reason, this image is not showing up on its own page (and hence doesn't appear in the articles, including fireless locomotive). Any idea why? EdJogg (talk) 02:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • I noticed the problem in passing, but did not have time to do anything other then inform you. Having now seen that you'd replied, I checked and can see the image fine here at work. I suspect it may have been some sort of caching problem at home. Sorry for bothering you. EdJogg (talk) 10:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updated DYK query On 31 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article DeCou House, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Port Colborne

Thanks for your message. You were right about the building, but there was an error in the caption, which is what threw me off. I corrected it.

When you told me to ensure that when I remove something that I do it "for the right reasons", I found that insulting. It implied that I did so without having a good enough reason. Is it not enough that I'm a native of the area, grew up and played on that street as a child (West Street is where this building is located) and continued to live there for 20 plus years and never noticed this building? Don't you think that I deserve the respect and benefit of the doubt that I made the edit because I believe in this Wikipedia project and I was trying to ensure the accuracy of the article? Tell me... what better reason could there be?

It would benefit you to ensure that you're communicating with other users with more tact, which is something that people of intelligence often lack, and you seem to be very intelligent. ;-) People will be inclined follow your advice more readily, and the respect will reciprocate.

If I'm not being clear enough, please stick to the subject matter at hand, rather than questioning the motives behind the edit itself. None of us are expected to be perfect. So, if you feel the need to prove that an edit or contribution is false, don't be lazy. Do the research; politely state your case in an open forum and present your findings.

THANK YOU!
