Renamed from Lake Railway

[edit]

I couldn't find any sign of the name 'Lake Railway' being used in English to refer to this railway. I know that there is a tendency in WP to (IMHO) over-translate German railway names into English, which I don't agree with but am living with (at least for now). However Lake Railway is not a good translation of Seelinie (Lake Line would be closer).

So I've renamed it. -- Starbois (talk) 15:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

Also I'm confused by the nationality of this line. The text says it is in Switzerland without qualification. The infobox line diagram shows a German-Swiss border. And it has categories of Railway lines in Switzerland and Railway lines in Baden-Württemberg (a state of Germany).

I can probably sort this out by reference to my copy of Eisenbahatlas Deutschland, but I'm away from home for a few days and will probably forget by the time I get home and can consult it. So I've put a cleanup tag on, to either flush answers from somebody else or remind me when I get home. -- Starbois (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
