[edit] WP:AIV

Hi there, thanks for reporting that IP vandal. A note: in the future, when making reports at AIV, please use {{IPvandal|fill in IP here}} when reporing IPs and {{vandal|fill in username here}} instead of just writing the IP or username. It makes it easier for us to process the report. Thanks! Heimstern Läufer 07:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I've just started Recent Change Patrolling, will add that template to my list of useful tools Jaxsonjo 07:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi; not to jump on the train or anything, but you don't have to make your reports on AIV quite so detailed. Just a quick sentence about what they've done will do fine, and we'll see the rest from thier contributions. (As an added benefit, this will get you back out there chasing other vandals more quickly.) Thanks for, and keep up, the good work! Essjay (Talk) 09:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{VRLocos}}

Hi there

I noticed you've set up a template that differentiates between steam and diesel power on the VR. I guess you're working towards a series of articles for the diesel electric fleet.

This raises an interesting problem, how do we classify the VR diesel (and for that matter, electric) fleet? The VR steam fleet was largely designed in-house, whereas the diesel fleet was largely bought from GM-EMD as off-the-shelf products. The VR K class steam locomotive has only ever been used in Victoria, whereas the VR T class diesel was an EMD G8 that was also sold around the world.

In articles I've created for the steam fleet, I've referenced the "T class" diesel for example as the EMD G8, pointing to the article created for that off-the-shelf GM-EMD product. Do you propose to create a series of articles for the diesel fleet based on the VR class name, or the GM-EMD product name? I guess the other issue to consider is, if you base your article names on the convention I've used for the steam fleet, how do you take into account for the fact that some were purchased by Victorian Railways (eg C class), and others were purchased by V/Line (eg N class)?

I'd been warming up to writing an article on some of the early VR diesel locos (eg B class, S class) and was pondering this point.

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project.
