Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Arthur Laing Bridge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Airport Station (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi DMB, thank you for your comprehensive improvement of the mixed train article. I've just made a couple of tweaks. The first sentence is a definition from a specific source, so we can't change the wording or the source becomes invalid. Also the article is written in international English, mainly based on the terminology agreed by the International Union of Railways, so North American terminology should only be used where appropriate in those sections talking about North American practice. But do keep up the good work. Cheers.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I BOLDly reditected two of the four schools you proposed merging to District 51 as there wasn't really anything to merge. The two secondary schools I left alone for now. I'll do some BEFORE on them, but I'm in the states, so if you're in Canada you may be better equipped to do the research than I. In any case if you don't find anything and I haven't gotten back to the merge discussion (and no one has objected to the merge proposal), I see no reason not to just go ahead and BOLDly redirect those as I did the others in a few days. I wouldn't anticipate any pushback. Secondary schools had a near presumption of notability until 2018 and there are many extant articles on high schools that don't meet today's standard for notability on schools.
