Replaceable fair use File:ACF R28 Nos 7926-7927 at the Illinois Railway Museum.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ACF R28 Nos 7926-7927 at the Illinois Railway Museum.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 13:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Fair use rules

I notice you are uploading a lot of fair use images of rolling stock. While they are normally acceptable if they car type in question has been scrapped, they are NOT acceptable when the car is still in service or has been preserved. The fair use guidelines are stricter than "a free replacement does not exist", it is "a free replacement cannot be created". If a car still exists, a free replacement can be created. Whether it runs rarely or is stored in a yard doesn't matter. – Train2104 (t • c) 13:13, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Understood. I will now have all the files I uploaded deleted. Thank you.--Davidng913 (talk) 13:17, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Disneyland Railroad Images

I personally like those images you added to the article better, also. They were actually already in the article before, but unfortunately, they had to be "sacrificed" in the article in order for it to obtain its current featured status. FA image reviewers are very, very persnickety (a.k.a.: pains-in-the-ass) about what you include, and their main concern is whether all of the images look 100% normal in terms of licensing, where they were pulled from, etc. I do applaud your good faith efforts with trying to continuously improve things, though. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 02:26, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

The column you added to the locomotive table in the DRR article regarding the train cars is 100% redundant and should not be there. The reason why there is a train car column in the table in the WDWRR article is because each train car set has a default locomotive assigned to it. This is not the case with the DRR. It is logical to give these two articles similar structures, but they do not need to be 100% exact carbon copies of each other, because, just like the two railroads themselves, they are not 100% the same. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 18:46, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

That's fine with me. I won't add it again.--Davidng913 (talk) 18:56, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Walt Disney World Railroad Info

The piece of info you added about the WDWRR's No. 1 locomotive being refurbished at the Strasburg Railroad has been reverted due to no sources being cited. Citing sources for info you add is an important thing to consider, but it's pretty much required in articles that are featured, like this one. I have also seen similar info about this refurbishment, but it's all on forums, which are automatically disqualified as being reputable sources. The key thing to look for to determine whether a source is any good is whether it has editorial oversight, meaning that someone is looking over the writer's shoulder who reviews their work before it gets published. If a source has no editorial oversight, or it's not known whether it has editorial oversight, it can't be used here, even if the info you want to add isn't mentioned anywhere else. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 04:03, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. If I see anything, I'll make sure I source it. --Davidng913 (talk) 04:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

On another note, I noticed that you got this image undeleted:

File:Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World Railroad poster.jpg

I recall that image being in the article over a year ago before I started changing it into the state it's in now. I noticed in the discussion to get it undeleted that you said it would be deleted on 2 September. Can you elaborate on that? Jackdude101 ^talk cont 17:57, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

I just realized that the deletion message was that if it was not used in any article, it would be deleted. It's fine now as the image is now in use in the WDWRR article.--Davidng913 (talk) 18:00, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

FYI, the narration info you added to this article was removed due to a lack of sources. You need to attach a source for every piece of info you add, even common knowledge stuff like this that you and I know by heart, but others not familiar with Disney parks may not know anything about. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 20:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for the message.--Davidng913 (talk) 20:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Arnines, Redbird trains, and NTTs

I have moved these pages back because we don't really need the parenthetical term "(New York City Subway car}" in the title. There is only one usage of each, and as per Wikipedia:Disambiguation, the parenthetical term isn't needed. Plus, it's harder to type when editing the wiki code, and the articles already say these are NYC Subway cars. epicgenius (talk) 14:31, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

It's fine. Thanks for letting me know.--Davidng913 (talk) 15:01, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
