23 March 2024

• 18:3018:30, 23 March 2024 diff hist 0 Canadian Northern Ontario Railway Federal Bridge Edited the incorrect reporting mark. CNoR is the reporting mark for the Canadian Northern Railway. The Canadian Northern ONTARIO railway used CNOR.

6 June 2023

• 07:2207:22, 6 June 2023 diff hist 2 Pete Weber (bowler) Corrected the misquote. Weber very clearly admonishes himself to "get it right" after bumbling his own taunt.

31 May 2023

• 06:3006:30, 31 May 2023 diff hist 15 List of Nebraska railroads Revising previous edit - it would appear that Poor's Manual of Railroads uses "Kearney" whereas known stock certificates use "Kearny".
• 06:2706:27, 31 May 2023 diff hist −1 List of Nebraska railroads Changed spelling of Kearney - not sure what the actual spelling is, but this company spelled it "Kearny" on their documentation so assuming that was the official spelling of the company..

24 November 2022

• 00:0600:06, 24 November 2022 diff hist 23 She Bop Further refined the my previous correction as technically the dance sequence and the game show sequence are separate, though portrayed by the same blind character.

• 06:1806:18, 22 March 2022 diff hist 21 List of West Virginia railroads Confirmed dates start/end for Blackwater and Potomac. Seemed to have improved the formatting as well.
• 06:1106:11, 22 March 2022 diff hist 40 List of West Virginia railroads Added defunct "Blackwater and Potomac Railroad". Unknown dates other than I have one of their stock certificates in my collection. Formatting doesn't seem to be perfect on this edit.

• 06:2506:25, 6 July 2021 diff hist −302 Tacoma Eastern Railroad →Subsidiary control: The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad did not become the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad until March 31st,1927, and so the deleted statement could not be possibly accurate. Modified the paragraph to preserve the original point, minus the inaccurate material.

• 04:3004:30, 15 January 2021 diff hist 38 Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway Edited photo heading to reflect that the locomotive featured on the stock certificate is almost certainly not a locomotive from this company. Added discussion to this effect on the Talk page.

7 December 2020

• 07:1907:19, 7 December 2020 diff hist 724 N Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains/ICC valuations/Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne Railroad Added question regarding incorporation date. current
• 07:1407:14, 7 December 2020 diff hist 0 List of Indiana railroads Corrected starting year for the C&FW.

26 November 2020

• 06:5806:58, 26 November 2020 diff hist 63 Carthage, Watertown and Sackets Harbor Railroad Introduced incorporation date and amended 1875 as date the RR actually began running trains on its lines.

19 November 2020

• 03:4103:41, 19 November 2020 diff hist 3 Galena and Southern Wisconsin Railroad Wording change to better explain the potential survival of the name until as late as 1883.

18 November 2020

• 22:4722:47, 18 November 2020 diff hist −259 Galena and Southern Wisconsin Railroad Removed unclear reference to which company bought out which other company. Instead, for simplicity, amended to the core idea that the G&SWRR "ultimately" ended up as the C&NW since that is the point of this section.
• 22:4322:43, 18 November 2020 diff hist 1,043 Galena and Southern Wisconsin Railroad Found and incorporated greatly improved data from the series of mergers that took place between 1880 and 1883. It appears that the C&NW did not have control over the G&SWRR until 1883, so also removed the reference to the year 1882 being the year the C&NW changed the gauge though it does remain likely that event occurred, of course. Unsure of the correct format of the reference as author is by a commission.
• 19:5819:58, 18 November 2020 diff hist 603 Galena and Southern Wisconsin Railroad Updated incorrect "family-tree" information as the G&SWRR did not get purchased by the C&NW directly. Two steps in between are missing in that story, though I note that some sources get that part wrong (Poor's Manual, for one).

• 10:3010:30, 17 November 2020 diff hist −491 Hans Langsdorff Removed misleading reference as the person editing this section ignored the original author's caution (in the very next sentence of the referenced material) that it would stand to reason that no commanding officer would dare state anything other than praise in front of a foreigner. Tag: Reverted

15 November 2020

• 07:2307:23, 15 November 2020 diff hist 72 Wallkill Valley Railroad →Wallkill Valley Railroad: Modified to reflect the correct pre-1877 name of "Railway" whereas 1877 the company went by "Railroad".
• 06:1806:18, 15 November 2020 diff hist −658 Hans Langsdorff Removed unsupported claim that there is "ample evidence" that Langsdorff was an "ardent Nazi" as the author of that portion fails to cite any of the evidence necessary to make such a claim. Rather the author sites only the standard "sign off" for upper-echelon commanders seeking to maintain their family's military pension after their passing, since it is clear that scuttling the Graf Spee may have been seen in Berlin to be traitorous. This letter is already covered in the "death" section. Tag: Reverted

18 October 2020

• 07:3107:31, 18 October 2020 diff hist −365 Chattanooga, Rome and Southern Railroad Removed useless information. The claims being made as exceptional, are not exceptional at all, being normal course of business for all railroads of the time. 10 shares sold in the UK represents not even 0.000001% of shares sold in the UK, who commonly purchased American/Canadian Railroad shares. The "extremely large" share float too is commonplace in that era.
