Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Eastern Coach Works, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.Jeepday (talk) 14:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

a bit late, but for the record Jeepday caught me between "saves". Refs added 15 Feb 2008Mhockey (talk) 12:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Archiving your talk page

Hi! I was wondering if you would be able to archive your talk page? It is currently 170 kilobytes long, and the talk page guidelines recommend archiving once the page is over 75 kilobytes. There is a guide at Help:Archiving (plain and simple), or I would be happy to help you do so. Best, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, done. Mhockey (talk) 21:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Mhockey!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
