HI and welcome --Me! If you need a wiki question answered... post it here! // FrankB 21:04, 3 July 2013 (EST)

Hi mate. Unfortunately I'm having to remove significant numbers of your edits due to them being factually incorrect. While I appreciate that you're doing this work with a good intention, it's creating a lot of "policing" work for us that we don't really have time for. I will have to ask that you keep your edits to new pages or minor corrections to existing pages, rather than actively reworking pages which are already established and checked.

ProToolz Pages

Please do not reformat them. They are reproductions of the HTML tutorial pages originally made to go with 3dtrains track laying tools, and their UNALTERED redistribution was part of the agreement between ME and 3DTRAINS as a condition of my securing permission to re-release them.

For what it's worth, they aren't meant to be part of the wiki per se, but rather are stand alone pages meant to be viewed within Surveyor to guide a user on how to properly use the tool.

There is a "parent" introduction page at http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/3D_Trains_ProToolz - but the individual pages must remain as they are.Template:Unsigned

That's why I posted you Ted, not my 'patrol' so to speak. I saw your lead page, 3D_Trains_ProToolz, but it is deficient in not explaining what the heck they are. Why one would want to use them, and where you can get them. The company (www.3DTrains.com) comes up as dead links, from google I can infer they were written originally for MSTS and somehow they've been added to the DLS... none of that is explained, nor is your agreement.

If you are referring to resizing the images, I misdoubt that is a violation of any agreement. And verbatim copies would be a copyright violation N3V should and will likely jump on you about.

The pages need links back and forth, and text introducing their purpose. Me I'd increase the PIC size, so people can actually see what is going on. I'd do them full width with caption under or above or both as makes sense to the information flow. You already have them in a table, you're half-the-way there. // FrankB 01:59, 21 August 2013 (EST)
