Sorry, I meant to create this article in my own user space to work on for later, but I got mixed up between browser tabs and created it in main space instead. --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 17:19, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 22:15, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The passenger numbers don't work out.

"As of September 2010, an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 passengers were using the Nong Khai–Thanaleng Shuttle train daily. Trains consist of two coaches, each carrying up to 80 passengers."

There are 2 trains a day in each direction, so the maximum possible number of passengers, if all train cars were full to the brim, would be 640. Ilya Kogan (talk) 15:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore (disclaimer: original research) , I took the train on a regular day in January 2024 and there were only 4 passengers on the train, so even 640 is highly unrealistic. This crossing is mainly used by railway enthusiasts, while the vast majority of people use the much more convenient road crossing. Ilya Kogan (talk) 09:29, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
