:Sorry, I was trying to get motivated on publishing an obscured train wreck page unfold. But with college getting in the way, I don't know if I can finish this page up. [[User:611fan2001|611fan2001]] ([[User talk:611fan2001#top|talk]]) 13:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
== I’m genuinely sorry ==
I know I’ve been an idiot and a screw up for the majority of last year, and I’ve been such a repugnant to you, in particular, and for that, I’m really sorry. For the remainder of this year, I’m only going to make meaningful contributions to pages about steam locomotives, and sometimes, railroads in general. I know you may not want to forgive me after all the crud I’ve fed you, but I’m still going to ask you this once; what would it take for you to trust me again?
You don’t have to answer that question, if you don’t want to. I just want to leave this message here to let you know that I’m changing my ways for good.

== Disney Railroad War ==
Alright, I’m sorry about the disastrous edits on the Walt Disney World Railroad page. I’m still confused as to the sources about the locomotives as I try to figure out which are official and which aren’t. I’ll leave the sources to you at this time. But I will admit that I’m still curious as to why we can’t include the Steam Giants pages for Roger and Roy if Walter and Lilly can use theirs. Just saying… [[User:Davidng913|Davidng913]] ([[User talk:Davidng913|talk]]) 02:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
:We don't need to add the SteamGiants pages about the WDWRR's Nos. 3 and 4 locomotives, because it's too complicated to add so much info to the note box. [[User:611fan2001|611fan2001]] ([[User talk:611fan2001#top|talk]]) 03:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
::Fair enough. Each locomotive has more than enough citations at this point. Right now I'm still trying to figure out if Roger received a new boiler or not, and if Roy is going to get one. I think I overheard in another conversation that all locomotives are getting new boilers as part of their overhauls, along with the other associated upgrades. [[User:Davidng913|Davidng913]] ([[User talk:Davidng913|talk]]) 14:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
:::I'm aware that the WDWRR's No. 3 locomotive received a new boiler from Strasburg, but we'll have to wait for a reliable source of it for the time being. [[User:611fan2001|611fan2001]] ([[User talk:611fan2001#top|talk]]) 16:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
::::And my assumption is that Roy will receive a new boiler as well. I was told that all of the locomotives are essentially getting new boilers and equipment to last them for the next few decades. [[User:Davidng913|Davidng913]] ([[User talk:Davidng913|talk]]) 22:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
== Shrek the Third ==
As you neglected to provide an edit summary when you reverted my reversion of your change, please explain how "was misaimed" is better wording than simply "missed"? Thanks! [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 14:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
:It means that Prince Charming misaimed his sword between Shrek's stomach and left arm, instead of Shrek's stomach. Afterward, Shrek revealed it and tells Charming "You need to work on your aim." [[User:611fan2001|611fan2001]] ([[User talk:611fan2001#top|talk]]) 19:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for explaining your rationale. I still think for basic plot purposes "missed" is sufficient regardless of your preferred wording being more technically correct, but I won't revert your reinsertion. [[User:Doniago|DonIago]] ([[User talk:Doniago|talk]]) 21:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

== SOU 1380 postcard ==
I just ordered some postcards from EBay, and they should be shipped within a few days from now. One of them is of Southern No. 1380, and since the page you made for it lacks a photo right now, would you like me to scan that postcard and upload it there, just like how I did IC 2613’s page? The photo dates back to 1947, so it should be in the public domain. [[User:Someone who likes train writing|Someone who likes train writing]] ([[User talk:Someone who likes train writing|talk]]) 22:13, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
:Why not? I would love to have a picture of Southern 1380 in its page! :) [[User:611fan2001|611fan2001]] ([[User talk:611fan2001#top|talk]]) 22:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

== Nos. 2156 and 2174 ==
I tried my best to rewrite N&W [[Norfolk and Western 2156|2156]] and [[Norfolk and Western 2174|2174]]’s pages with proper sources. They’re still not that great, especially not on par with 611 or 475’s pages, but I was still wondering if you’d like to at least look them over and let me know what your thoughts are. Whenever you find the time, of course. [[User:Someone who likes train writing|Someone who likes train writing]] ([[User talk:Someone who likes train writing|talk]]) 04:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
