@[[User:HoHo3143|HoHo3143]], What order are you are planning to do the V/Line services in? I'll work out the various necessary lines that are involved and the order to best order to do them (eg: Serviceton Line will be better to save until doing Ararat Service) and what line each service is actually on (eg: Bendigo Service is Deniliquin Line). --<b><span style="font-family: Kristen ITC; color: rgb(0, 35, 102); text-align: center; text-decoration: underline #FFD700;">[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]</span></b> ([[User talk:ThylacineHunter#top|talk]]) 11:40, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

:I'm planning on doing the order listed in [[User:HoHo3143/Lines and services that continue|this table here]]. It's basically a reverse of the order which I did the metro services. Also question- did I get it right about the lines that the service uses? [[User:HoHo3143|HoHo3143]] ([[User talk:HoHo3143|talk]]) 11:51, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
::I wanted to just double check the order. As for the lines used, I'm 99% sure what I originally listed is correct, but I'll double check as I get to each one (who knows, there may be a surprise I didn't know about)
::I'll get to this asap, as I'm currently involved with redoing [[Protected areas of Victoria]] (may do both simultaneously). -- <b><span style="font-family: Kristen ITC; color: rgb(0, 35, 102); text-align: center; text-decoration: underline #FFD700;">[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]</span></b> ([[User talk:ThylacineHunter#top|talk]]) 12:13, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]] thank you. Are you able to do the stopping patterns so I know wether or not Warrnambool services stop at certain stations? This would allow me to finish the stations bit and move on to other areas like accessibility and rolling stock whilst I wait for you to finish your other project.

@[[User:HoHo3143|HoHo3143]], I've reworked [[Template:Table Age Calculator]] ("TAC2" for short) to handle "incumbent" as a 4th (end date) variable to allow its use for the operators table. This will auto calculate the value for the Age/Length of operations column and also has the ability of making the table sortable. I originally had just thought it would be helpful on the station history tables, but with the update for "incumbent", it's now more versatile and can be included on the operators table. I'll go back at some point and incorporate this into the already finished pages.<br>
I also included full dates on the operators table as [[North East railway line#Operators]] was a little confusing with just years. --<b><span style="font-family: Kristen ITC; color: rgb(0, 35, 102); text-align: center; text-decoration: underline #FFD700;">[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]</span></b> ([[User talk:ThylacineHunter#top|talk]]) 12:58, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]] thanks for doing this and apologies for the late reply. Question- what type of signalling is used on the Albury Line?

:::::::::::::Hi @[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]. As the month of august has now finished, the number of GA reviews that I will be acting on will dry up. Currently I have one left to finish acting upon. So looking forward from here. Could you please finish all of your elements for the Albury V/Line rail service article as soon as possible. Once ive finished acting on the GA feedback, I'd like to finish working on this article and nominate it. Once this has been completed, I will be going back and fixing a few issues with a few GA nominations that have been failed and ones that I have purposefully taken down. Once I have finished fixing these articles, I will continue the project of rebuilding the V/Line service articles.
:::::::::::::If you are still unable to complete this, let me know and I'll adjust what I will do. If you can't that's ok, but I'd like to finish up the Albury line, then fix the other articles, before moving back through the other V/Line articles that need rebuilding. Let me know what you think.

:::::::::::::::Hi @[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]. I'm glad you are able to come back now. I hope that everything with both your health and your parents has been ok. Currently, I am completing Year 12 so have had very little time for anything, especially Wikipedia. I have continued to make minor edits to the LXRP page, including marking completed removals and other updates to the project. This has however been the extent of my edits. For the remainder of the year, I will only be making very small contributions to wikipedia due to time constraints, so anything that we used to work on I won't be able to be apart of.

== Moving articles ==
If you want to rename an article, you need to follow the [[Wikipedia:Moving a page#How to move a page|moving a page process]]. You can’t just copy and paste text from other to the other as you did at with the Gippsland railway line. I am guessing you may have tried and moved it this way but been blocked by a system control. This may have been because the article was moved in 2019 after a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGippsland_railway_line&diff=888710683&oldid=888710475 reuested move discussion] and may have been locked from further non-administrator moves as part of this. Should you wish to have the article renamed, you will need to gain a consensus to override the 2019 discussion via a new reuested move. [[User:Bagufleat|Bagufleat]] ([[User talk:Bagufleat|talk]]) 03:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:Bagufleat|Bagufleat]], I tried but there was already a [[Orbost railway line]], I put in a deletion request for that page which was reverted. This was the only way to swap the pages over. -- <b><span style="font-family: Kristen ITC; color: rgb(0, 35, 102); text-align: center; text-decoration: underline #FFD700;">[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]</span></b> ([[User talk:ThylacineHunter#top|talk]]) 03:38, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
::Again please read the [[Wikipedia:Moving a page#How to move a page|moving a page process]]. You cannot just cut and paste. [[User:Bagufleat|Bagufleat]] ([[User talk:Bagufleat|talk]]) 03:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]: In case you're unaware of how it works, you can ask for a technical move at [[WP:RMT]]. Someone with the page mover permission will move it on your behalf if they determine that it isn't controversial. Otherwise, go through the usual page move request process, a page mover will still complete the move 7 days after the request was opened if consensus is to move. [[User:Fork99|Fork99]] ([[User talk:Fork99|talk]]) 05:28, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
::::Also, the reason why you can't just delete a page like that is because it fragments the edit history of the article. All edits/text on Wikipedia need to be copyright attributable to particular editors. [[User:Fork99|Fork99]] ([[User talk:Fork99|talk]]) 05:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

== Tagging ==
Honestly you are most welcome to ignore me, but the leaving transport-importance=low, as whatever it is leaving it off is something that doesnt fit, no big deal... Hey - keep up the good work anyways [[User:JarrahTree|JarrahTree]] 12:56, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

:I don't feel qualified enough to decide on article importance, other than the retagging of the Aus Transport top-importance. I feel these are justified being top-importance:
:*Department of Transport for each state
:*Articles titled "[transport type] in Australia"
:*Articles titled "Transport for [state/capital]"
:*The overall transport company per state (Public Transport Victoria, Adelaide Metro, Transperth, Transport for NSW)
:*The 2 biggest airports (Sydney, Melbourne)
:*The 3 biggest stations (Central, Flinders Street, Southern Cross) due to amount of services
:*Sydney Harbour Bridge (as a vital article and it's iconic status) - Should we include also include the other vital articles? Indian Pacific, Qantas, Sydney Metro, Trans-Australian Railway

::: my apologies for my poorly expressed message and your thorough reply - I tend to do everything default to low importance - and I havent really considered the field of vital articles and their context as transport items...

== Naming of the ...line articles ==
@[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]] currently 3 of my rebuilt articles (Belgrave, Lilydale, and Frankston) are being reviewed for GA status. They all go by ...railway line whereas other articles have been changed to ...line. As these should be consistent, what should we do?

==WikiProject Bendigo==
Hi ThylacineHunter, I have recently joined [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Bendigo|WikiProject Bendigo]] and I am currently recruiting more editors to join also. I can see that you are a regular editor of Victorian-related articles, and also a participant in WikiProject Melbourne, so I was wondering whether you might be interested in joining the project, as there are still a number of Bendigo articles that need improvement. Please let me know what you think. All the best, [[User:Lotsw73|Lotsw73]] ([[User talk:Lotsw73|talk]]) 12:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

== Re: Serviceton ==

Hi, thanks for your concern...the difference between renaming Serviceton -> Ararat, vs all the other non-existent lines in Victoria, is that the Ararat line is still in use, it's the same as the Port Fairy line article getting renamed to Warrnambool since that's where it now ends.

== Serviceton/Ararat RM ==

Hey there, hope you're doing well!

I noticed that you tend to make very long and detailed arguments at these sorts of RMs - please keep in mind that the page mover who has to read everything is likely not a rail enthusiast. I'm a rail enthusiast and I don't want to sit there and read a [[WP:WALLOFTEXT|wall of text]].

Please try and keep your comments as succinct/concise as possible, it makes understanding what the consensus is easier for the mover and for everyone else involved in the RM. Cheers, [[User:Fork99|Fork99]] ([[User talk:Fork99|talk]]) 21:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

== V/Line page moves ==

If you don't mind, I'd like to withdraw the V/Line moves you proposed a make a single one so they can be discussed as a group. I think the targets need to be different as well; all of your proposed titles (such as [[Albury line]]) are ambiguous. [[Albury line (service)]] would be a better choice. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 11:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] I'm happy for them to be combined (I wasn't sure how to do that). 
:"Albury line" is the common name and I know that "Albury line (service)" will not be accepted as a name change. I've been informed that it doesn't matter if they end up causing confusion (as in [[Warrnambool railway line]] and [[Warrnambool line]] or with [[Gippsland railway line]] and [[Gippsland V/Line rail service]]). "xx line" is how the services are named in [[Victoria (state)]] (see [[Sunbury line]] and all the other [[Metro Trains Melbourne]] services) and [[WP:COMMONNAME]] HAS to be use no matter what. <b><span style="font-family: Kristen ITC; color: rgb(0, 35, 102); text-align: center; text-decoration: underline #FFD700;">[[User:ThylacineHunter|ThylacineHunter]]</span></b> ([[User talk:ThylacineHunter#top|talk]]) 16:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
