Assessment

This article lacks inline citation and fails the B-1 criteria. See WP:BCLASS NtheP (talk) 09:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Nthep, I respectfully disagree with your assessment and until it has been established by common consensus, I have removed the tag from the page.

The article does contain inline references - in fact I believe it is well and accurately referenced - it has a consistent style incorporating Harvard Referencing which is a style well recognised in the community. It does not include numeric notations, but if you refer to WP:BCLASS (Part 1) and to WP:Citing_sources#Parenthetical referencing you will see that this is included in the concept of "inline references".

Oxonhutch, thank you for pointing out my error. I did mean to apply a tag but not that one. The one I meant was {{unreferenced-section}} for the section on Decline & closure. A deficiency, I believe, enough for an article to fail a B-class assessment. Yours NtheP (talk) 18:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Stretton 1893

I have reverted the removal of the above reference and linked it to a copy on the web. An uncorroborated statement that he was a 'notorious hoaxer' is no grounds for a summary removal of this reference. I invite you to read his commentary and compare it with that of the other references quoted (that I have located in libraries, or are in my personal collection) - and please discuss where his veracity is questioned, and how that relates to his version of history in respect to the tramroad.

• Your reasoning is absolutely correct. This article entitled "Clement E. Stretton: pedlar of fabricated information" http://www.steamindex.com/library/stretton.htm gives some detail, but when one author attacks another there is the question of who to believe. Stretton's book "The Locomotive Engine and Its Development" can be found online. The engraving of Stephenson's Planet (locomotive) found on page 38: http://www.archive.org/stream/locomotiveengin03stregoog#page/n56/mode/1up should help answer it.
