Regarding the naming confusion of the SPA AS.37/TL.37/SPA TL.37, I think I might be able to shed some light on the subject. After doing a bit more reading it appears that SPA is short for Società per Azioni, the Italian term for a joint stock as you stated. The original vehicle seems to have been the SPA TL.37 (Società per Azioni Artillery Tractor. Model 1937). From that point the SPA TL.37 aka TL.37 has "Libia" model by adding adding larger fuel tanks and better tires, and the SPA AS.37 is the SPA TL.37 with more modifications produced for Autocarro Sahariano. So as far as consistent naming convention I suggest using SPA TL.37 since the SPA AS.37 and SPA TL.37 “Libia” are subsets of the original. The separate SPA AS.37 and SPA TL.37 “Libia” stubs/articles should be merged under the SPA TL.37 article. Just my thoughts on the issue. Seansasser (talk) 21:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
I've done more scouring and have found the ISBN numbers for books about WWII Italian vehicles and I'll make a trip the the library to place them on order. Perhaps after reading them they will shed more light on the subject and we can proceed onward. Seansasser (talk) 06:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

As changes have to be backed up by reliable sources, the discussion wasn't going anywhere as none had been provided. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 08:00, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Talk pages are meant to be places for discussing how to improve the article. They aren't for posting your personal opinions on if bin Laden is really dead or not, wondering why Americans are gullible, or complaining about other editors removing your inappropriate comments. If you have general questions about the psychology of Americans or the raid itself, you can always ask at the reference desk. BurtAlert (talk) 23:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment. I know that a lot of companies do try to use Wikipedia for self-promotion, but sometimes it makes sense for them to do so, and when a "new term" is still new, it's hard for a WP editor to know whether it's pure spam. Of course, marketing jargon comes and goes, but sometimes it's widely enough used to be notable under WP standards. Have a good day! --cbdorsett (talk) 10:27, 17 May 2011 (UTC) Class 70 nameBecause "Freightliner Class 70" has minor issues ( although search results look popular)with there being turkish locomitves of the same type, I'd suggest using "GE Powerhaul locomotive" in use but not as much. "GE Powerhaul" should have been the choice but it needs disambiguation since there is an engine of the same name eg http://www.ecomagination.com/technologies/powerhaul-engine/ I think Category:GE locomotives is useful to look at - they appear to use "GE" rather than "General Electric". For what it's worth "Freightliner Class 70" appears more popular with photographers, and rail interest magazines, whereas "GE Powerhaul" seems to be used by manufacturers, non-rail newspapers and rail industry magazines. As you can see there are at least two basic choices (excluding variations) - I don't really know which should be the better choice.Imgaril (talk) 01:30, 28 June 2011 (UTC) ..It would be useful if a name could be decided on on the articles talk page, by the editors of that page - if you have a preference or other idea please mention it there.

An Invite to join the WikiProject Railways in India
naveenpf (talk) 01:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC) It's very kind of you to invite me but I don't feel I know enough about Indian railways to take this on. All my knowledge comes from British books and I have no local knowledge.

ResponseHerd mentality insinuates that the mentality was there beforehand. The problem is not reading my responses to their accusations and responding. They vote, the tool through which mob rule has been used to stem freedoms one by one in western society, which new things the mob doesn't like being held on forever by the perpetually self-interested beaurocracies. In this limited example, everyone votes the same as the vote before, because they see a vote, non-notable or coi, and they read the article looking for these things, and since they only have a limited part of the limited perspective presented by a simple term, and no examination of why it is, they work hard to create a bias that they hold onto in misdirected loyalty to the initial voter. As such, they look for a problem or two at most to back up their discussion and then they vote regarless of overwhelming evidence, because they are trying to make facts from theories. They might also be fourteen or have no girlfriend so they want to pick an internet fight, so they say delete if I say keep, because then they get some depth to thier lives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiansteve (talk • contribs) 01:37, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you may not remember, but a while back you worked on this article and proposed a merger. After driving by i thought something ought to come of it.

Caledonian Railway 0F ClassHi, re Caledonian Railway 0F Class: this is an anomaly, because the Caledonian didn't use LMS-style power classifications. These 0-4-0ST should really be at Caledonian Railway 264 Class, that being the classification found in several books by e.g. Baxter, Haresnape and others. Generally speaking, CR classifications were the number of the first loco built to that design. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:49, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
