Here's topic list you might be interested in
[edit]I just created the Outline of land transport.
Since that includes rail transport, I thought you might like to take a look at it to see if there are any topics you could add.
This list is intended to be general.
The more detailed treatments would be Outline of rail transport and Outline of road transport (draft).
Enjoy. The Transhumanist 15:54, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for your edits to Glossary of rail transport terms. I've noticed, however, than some of your references have been half-formatted, and some as a result had broken links. I cured a broken link in this edit, & finished the formatting of that ref in this further edit. A further one I tripped over today was this one. If you search for the string }} in the text of the article you will see that there are 13 further malformatted references, none of which were present before your recent string of edits, so could you please correct them? --David Biddulph (talk) 12:43, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
I see that your 3 most recent edits, subsequent to the above message, have all included malformatted references, so you have obviously not read and taken notice of the message and hence I have reverted them all. Please read how to format references before you do any further edits. Presumably you are trying to use Template:Cite web, so please read that page to check the syntax. - David Biddulph (talk) 13:47, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. 2 more. Please listen to what you are being told. David Biddulph (talk) 13:53, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello UserUser2017, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Glossary of rail transport terms have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Glossary of rail transport terms, you may be blocked from editing. - You were warned about malformatted references in the section #January 2018 above, but you continue to do the same, which appears to be deliberately obstructive. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:43, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Note also that your link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_design%7C (as well as being broken because of your malformatting) would not be acceptable as a reference, for reasons explained at WP:CIRCULAR. You need to learn the difference between a reference and a wikilink. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:50, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Eulynx: Glossary
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
Hello, UserUser2017. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Eulynx: Glossary".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. » Shadowowl | talk 13:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
