Can you supply a source for the rail line names and locations? That is a Good Article, so sourcing additions to reliable sources is important. Imzadi  1979  → 03:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC) reply

The article Huron River Drive has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article does not state the notability of the subject.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{ dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{ dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:M151map.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 03:05, 15 October 2010 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on File:M151map.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for uploading File:GT Blue GP382 4906 WyandotteMI.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 22:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cruisin' Downriver, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ford Model A ( check to confirm |  fix with Dab solver).

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Wyandotte, Michigan may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s.

Just a reminder, that as esteemed as the author of the website may be, http://www.michiganhighways.org/ is still a self-published source, and since the author is not a historian, he does not meet the exceptions as an "expert in his field". That means we can't use the site as a source in our articles, relegating it to inclusion only as an external link and nothing more. M-5 (Michigan highway) will need some citations added to verify your edits. Imzadi 1979  → 07:30, 23 December 2016 (UTC) reply
