[edit] Rail line box

I can see you had trouble with the rail line box.

To create a rail line box copy (for example, this North London Railway box):

{{rail start}} {{rail line|previous=[[Broad Street railway station|Broad Street]]|next=[[Mildmay Park railway station|Mildmay Park]]|route=[[North London Railway]]|col=000000}} {{end box}}

Which will produce:

  Preceding station     National Rail     Following station  
Broad Street   North London Railway   Mildmay Park

To change the colour, it is best either to experiment, copy it from another page or go to Help:colors.

For the previous and next destinations, insert the station of your choice, just after the = sign.

It must be in [[]].

For the route, you should insert the name of the rain company and link it, for now.

In order to make writing small, use <small>Can you read this?</small> which produces

Can you read this?

Finally, for line breaks, either press enter or use <br>

I hope this isn't too complicated.

On the talk page you asked: "How can a statement be correct in fact but not impartial? It may be correct but incomplete but facts don't carry partiality"

Very easily. For an answer see: WP:NPOV and WP:NPOVT. It is easy to use biased words to set out facts, especially if you have an opinion on a matter. Essentially Wikipedia requires that you don't prejudice the reader in any way. See the rules on 'fairness of tone'. Scoterican 17:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
