Railroad nicknames

Just wanted to let you know that I left a message for you on this page. –BMRR (talk) 20:12, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. I haven't been checking my watchlist anywhere near as often as I used to. Slambo (Speak) 11:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi again: I created the temporary holding area for the unsourced entries, but someone has proposed it for deletion. I'm not sure how to respond to that. Thoughts? –BMRR (talk) 23:57, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I removed the prod and left a note on the talk page on why I did so. If someone moves it to a longer deletion discussion, we will comment there. Until then, the next step is to search for sources and continue the work as if the prod was never applied. Slambo (Speak) 15:07, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, another admin just moved it to my user space, without discussing it on the talk page. Not sure how I feel about that, and at this point I'm almost ready to just say "eff it" and delete the page... unless you can convince me otherwise. ;-) –BMRR (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

(Clarification: when I wrote "delete the page" I meant the temporary holding area that now resides in my user space.) –BMRR (talk) 21:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I take that to mean that the editor who moved it to userspace agrees in the value of having a worklist like this to identify which items need better referencing. He just would rather not see it in the main article space, which would lend an appearance of inherent factuality to the unreferenced items therein. Slambo (Speak) 10:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look, but I won't have a significant amount of time until after the weekend. Slambo (Speak) 11:03, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
