Shouldn't they be either "{{WP India|railways=yes|railways-importance=}}" or "{{WP India|railway=yes|railway-importance=}}" rather than "{{WP India|railway=yes|railways-importance=}}"?--GDibyendu (talk) 14:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The parameter is not yet created. Requested Ganeshk to add them to{{WP India}} tempate. It will be only "|railways=yes|railways-importance="-- Tinu Cherian - 11:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys,

Just added my name to the project. Can someone update me on what work is to be done and what (if any) discussions have taken place? The Silent Contributor (talk) 07:31, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Create and populate articles for Category: Rajdhani Trains , Category: Shatabdi Trains, Category: Garib Rath Trains etc and probably use Template:Railway line legend for major routes initially. Category:Railway accidents in India is another interesting place. Srikanth (Logic) 13:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

can we have a standard for the articles names in the Zones of Indian Railways ? eg : XXX Zone (India) --naveenpf (talk) 16:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the standard should preferably be XXX Railway Zone (India). Also, do we need a similar standard for divisions, since they are likely to be confused with administrative divisions? Perhaps XXX Division (Indian Railways) or some such? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 13:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree.. Let us go with XXX Railway Zone (India) and XXX Division (Indian Railways) ..ya let us start some work as WP:INRI--naveenpf (talk) 03:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Railway Zones  Done--naveenpf (talk) 15:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why disambiguate where it is not necessary? --Joshua Issac (talk) 14:56, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While writing train numbers, we can mention which division the train belongs too. this will help people to know whom to approach for complaints

For example 11013 LTT-CBE Express belongs to CR, 22629 DR-TEN Belongs to SR, etc. This can be used for sorting trains easily.

Arjungopal31 (talk) 17:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A number of articles in this category are two-sentence unsourced stubs about obscure trains which do not seem to fit WP's general notability guidelines. While I understand that trains like the Palace on Wheels or the Bhopal Shatabdi Express, as well as generic classes of trains, such as Rajdhani Express or Duronto Express, are notable, I seriously doubt whether examples like these - 1, 2, 3 deserve a place here. Should these be tagged and nominated for deletion? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 05:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just my thoughts, I feel each named train is notable just like people who say each village is notable.I feel the article needs rework, but my vote would be a weak keep though.We could add references, put the train route template, add quite a good amount of value to them. Just takes time. Srikanth (Logic) 14:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Too many stubs which are one liners, that too without any references to prove notability, I believe all stubs should redirected to the List of named passenger trains of India and text merged, before they have something substantial, merging would anyway be done in due course, by various admins themselves. Someone from this project must volunteer before it goes overboard! --Ekabhishek^talk 13:34, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• There are some trains which do not have a name(Eg: Bhopal express,Bangalore express)but they have been included in the cateogory of Named passenger trains of India. Can another cateogory namely other express/mails of India be created and include these in that. Let onyl trains having names like lal bagh,brindavan etc be included under the current head.

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian railways/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you. Okip 02:50, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've had to remove {{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|wgcat=WikiProject Railways in India articles}} as the working group does not appear to have its own category. Rd232 ^talk 16:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,
I've found some possible problems with a large number of articles on train services in India. Some could be fixable, but many are so short on notability/sources that deletion may be the best option. There's a a thread over at WikiProject Trains' talkpage; suggestions from this community would be very welcome. What do you think is the best way to deal with, say, many of the articles in Category:Superfast trains? bobrayner (talk) 03:31, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your template seems to make subsequent posts grey. Is there a bracket that needs closing or something? Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anna, that is fixed now --naveenpf (talk) 01:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I started Delhi Cantonment railway station, but the article is just a stub and needs to be expanded. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With reference to the edits at Thoothukudi railway station and Aruppukkottai railway station, i was removing some contents like "Demand for new trains, Extension of trains, etc.," on the basis of WP:NOTTIMETABLE, WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:CRYSTAL. These kind of information is present in quite a lot of articles related to transport of India, since almost everycity/town has its own demand of introduction of new trains or construction of new lines, these are either speculative and unconfirmed. Those demands may or may not happen or even keep lingering for a indefinite period of time. But still the edits were happening either by reversion or adding afresh. Hence a concrete decision can be made on adding such informations in future. --βα£α(ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 10:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most articles regarding Indian Railways quotes http://indiarailinfo.com/; http://erail.in/ and http://www.irfca.org as source. Though by far it may be accepted for map or creating route diagrams, but distance between any two railway stations or a length of a railway line largely differs with the Official website. Also the website is mostly with user generated content. So is the case of Indian Railways Fan Club (Indian Railways Fan Club), most of the web pages are have contents user-generated and casting doubts over verifiability and reliability, since they are neither accurate (to the most) nor updated. --βα£α(ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 02:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking for a broad gauge map of Indian railways depicting only double or more lines. I could not find such a map on net, the map on net lists all kind of lines as well as single and double or more tracks but I want to filter out single lines or non-broad gauge lines from the map. I want to check what all heavy traffic rail lines of Indian railways have at least double tracks. Thanks. IndianGeneralist 15:03, 28 April 2014 (UTC).

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a notice about Category:Indian railways articles needing expert attention, which might be of interest to your WikiProject. It will take a while before the category is populated. Iceblock (talk) 21:41, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kanpur Bridge Left Bank railway station has been nominated for deletion, but as I've only just tagged it for this project it may not show up in automated lists, hence this note. Thryduulf (talk) 12:45, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Please clarify these terms. Also, please check out these for example Howrah-Chennai main line has similar pages like Vijayawada–Chennai section, Vijayawada–Guntur section, Guntur-Repalle section. What about Guntur-Repalle section being split into Tenali-Repalle and Guntur-Tenali sections and if possible their naming conventions.--Vin09 (talk) 12:15, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
