I have already created an article for the E231 series, and one also exists for the E233. However, before the number of rolling stock pages begins to increase, I suggest the following conventions: </p> <ul><li>Shinkansen: 0_Series_Shinkansen (as already used)</li> <li>Diesel locos: DF200_diesel_locomotive</li> <li>Electric locos: EF200_electric_locomotive</li> <li>EMUs: E233_Series_EMU (note capitalization)</li> <li>DMUs: kiha110_DMU (or KIHA110_DMU?)</li> <li>Passenger cars: E26_Series_passenger_car</li> <li>Freight cars: koki106_freight_car (or KOKI106_freight_car?)</li></ul> <p>What do people think? It would of course require renaming the current E231 and E233 series articles (I don't think there are many others yet). The Wikipedia style manual suggests avoiding abbreviations (such as EMU or DMU), but I think these are preferable to having the spelled-out versions (e.g. diesel_multiple_unit) in titles. <a href="/wiki/User:DAJF" title="User:DAJF">DAJF</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan/Archive_1#c-DAJF-2006-04-04T04:07:00.000Z-Style" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DAJF-2006-04-04T04:07:00.000Z-Style"><!--__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__--><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-04-04T04:07:00.000Z","author":"DAJF","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-DAJF-2006-04-04T04:07:00.000Z-Style","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DAJF-2006-04-04T04:07:00.000Z-Style"></span> </p><p><br/><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tangotango-2006-04-04T05:33:00.000Z-Style"></span> About the capitalization of rolling stock titles, here are some pointers to get the discussion going: </p> <ul><li>Tokyu Car Corporation uses "E231 series" (small s) on their website: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.tokyu-car.co.jp/eng/rs/rs_e231.html">[1]</a></li> <li>East Japan Railway Company also uses a small s: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/environment/pdf_2004/report2004_p06-07.pdf">[2]</a></li> <li>Hobbylinc.com, a website selling model trains, uses a big S: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/kat/kat10472.htm">[3]</a></li> <li>The Japanese Railway Society uses a small s: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.japaneserailwaysociety.com/jrs/month/y02/aug/y0208.htm">[4]</a></li> <li>A leaflet I have from JR East for their ac@train prototype train says: "E993 Series Prototype Train"</li> <li>The company that designed the doors for the E231 S/series uses the small s: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:-5xTt2BSIQkJ:www.fesys.co.jp/sougou/seihin/p16/pdf/WC31-13a.pdf+E231+series&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;cd=49">[5]</a> (their website is currently closed due to corporate trouble)</li></ul> <p>As for Shinkansen stock: </p> <ul><li>Tokyu Car Corporation uses the form "Shinkansen type E3" (sometimes with a redundant "series" (small s) after it): <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.tokyu-car.co.jp/eng/rs/rs_e3.html">[6]</a> I think that's more akin to saying E3型 (-gata, type) than E3系 (-kei, series)</li> <li>Hitachi uses the small s: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.hitachi.com/rev/1999/revjun99/r3_107.pdf">[7]</a></li></ul> <p>I'm really not sure what to make of this. Statistically, I think the small "s" wins out for both Shinkansen and normal (在来線, <i>zairaisen</i>) stock. I haven't included personal websites because they might be following Wikipedia's lead. </p><p>Does anybody know why the current Shinkansen articles are titled like they are, and has there ever been a consensus? </p><p>As for the Japanese Wikipedia, they use a long unwieldy form of "CompanyName SeriesNumber 系 TypeOfTrain", like "JR東日本E231系電車", and the Chinese Wikipedia follows this too. However, that's great for kanji but not for English: imagine having an article titled "East Japan Railway Company E231 S/series Electronic Multiple Unit". (Oh, but <a href="/wiki/Category:British_Rail_diesel_multiple_units" title="Category:British Rail diesel multiple units">British rail articles</a> use "British Rail Class XXX", but they use <i>class</i> instead of <i>series</i>) </p><p>DAJF, you've proposed using "EMU" like in the Japanese version (but without the company name), and I think that's fine. But is there any need to be specific? There doesn't seem to be anything else so far on Wikipedia that uses a 3-digit number followed by "series", let alone "E" followed by a 3-digit number followed by "series". But maybe it's better to be safe than sorry later on. </p><p>I agree with your suggestion on electric and diesel locomotives, though. However, articles on other countries' locomotives don't seem to follow that: see <a href="/wiki/Category:Diesel_locomotives" title="Category:Diesel locomotives">Category:Diesel locomotives</a>. If we followed the lead of articles about locomotives in other countries, that would result in "JRF EF200", or maybe even "JRF Class E200", although "JRF E200 S/series" seems like an acceptable variant. Only problem is, not many people are going to recognize what JRF means. </p><p>There's a lot of discussion that needs to take place. I'm going to leave the rest of the proposals for now.

I have gone ahead and put these style conventions on the Style page, although I realize that they are still subject to change, and people are welcome to modify them as appropriate. </p><p>Regarding capitalization, I am not really bothered whether we use "XXX Series" or "XXX series", but since "Series" is already used for all of the shinkansen articles, I think it would be better to standardize on this style for zairaisen stock too. </p><p>Including the company name for JR/JNR rolling stock will make the names long and unwieldy, and will cause problems if people are not sure whether something was built by JNR or JR. I suggest that the company name only be used for private railway rolling stock. I would prefer to include "EMU" and "DMU" in the names, as I think this will avoid any possible confusion in the future. </p><p>Anyway, let's leave these conventions on the Style page and see if there are any objections or suggestions.

I've removed the underscores, because strictly speaking, they aren't part of the title and could prove to be confusing.

Being stuck in the Kingdom of <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">America</a>, however, I've found that I have to go searching out information from outside the current 50 states. For this I am requesting the help of any project members here to suggest content for the portal's <i>Selected article</i> (<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Selected_article" title="Portal:Trains/Selected article">archive</a>/<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Selected_article_candidates" title="Portal:Trains/Selected article candidates">candidates</a>), <i>Selected picture</i> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Portal:Trains/Featured_picture&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Portal:Trains/Featured picture (page does not exist)">archive</a>/<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Selected_picture_candidates" title="Portal:Trains/Selected picture candidates">candidates</a>), <i>Did you know...</i> (<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Did_you_know" title="Portal:Trains/Did you know">archive</a>/<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Did_you_know_candidates" title="Portal:Trains/Did you know candidates">candidates</a>), <i>Selected anniversaries</i> (<a href="/wiki/Portal:Trains/Anniversaries" title="Portal:Trains/Anniversaries">archive</a>) and <i>Trains news</i> (<a href="/wiki/2006_in_rail_transport" title="2006 in rail transport">2006 archive</a>) sections. </p><p>The Selected article needs to be at least <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GA">Good article</a> quality (although it does not need to be tagged as a GA or better). The Selected picture needs to be available under a free license (following the same guidelines as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FPC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FPC">featured picture candidates</a>). Items in the Did you know section are probably the least restrictive; it needs to be a fact about rail transport and the fact must be mentioned in the article somewhere. For the anniversaries, supporting references would be great, just be sure to use the format that is shown already (any of the March anniversaries pages show examples of the format that I'm following now and that I'm upgrading the rest of the anniversary pages to). In the Trains news section, I'm trying to list significant events from around the world, leaving out, for example, announcements of derailments that only caused minor delays or that did not adversely affect traffic; I'm also trying to keep it from listing six events from one area of the world at any time. </p><p>A few editors who are working on British railway articles are helping out with the Did you know and Selected picture sections with suggestions of their own, but I'd like to see more from other regions.

The Japanese wikipedia usually has both (a list of neighboring stations; and then a template for each line through the station). But, the Japanese pages are obviously serving a different audience than we are. For the majority of English speakers, I don't know which one is more useful. At any rate, I'm not a big fan of the style that you pointed to in <a href="/wiki/Yokohama_Station" title="Yokohama Station">Yokohama Station</a>; and, would not object if we standardized on the Service rail template in the Adjacent stations section, along with the line templates at the bottom of each article. <a href="/wiki/User:Neier" title="User:Neier">Neier</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan/Archive_1#c-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z-Tangotango-2006-04-28T12:28:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z-Tangotango-2006-04-28T12:28:00.000Z"><!--__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__--><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z","author":"Neier","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z-Tangotango-2006-04-28T12:28:00.000Z","replies":["c-Softgrow-2006-04-29T10:43:00.000Z-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z-Tangotango-2006-04-28T12:28:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Softgrow-2006-04-29T10:43:00.000Z-Neier-2006-04-29T10:24:00.000Z"></span>I think we should have the line template as a minimum. It is very useful in navigating along a line from station to station. Without it you need to find the line page then navigate to the next station.

I was about to embark on expanding it up to include the northern half of the line, but didn't know a good place to get the info. I am 99% sure that the current table came from an older version of <a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B8%B8%E7%A3%90%E7%B7%9A" class="extiw" title="ja:常磐線">ja:常磐線</a> (the table was removed in June). On the Japanese talk page, it looks like this was discussed at the bottom of the page (maybe someone with better Japanese ability than me can figure that out). </p><p>Anyway, it brings up two questions. Well, actually only 1.5, because depending upon the first answer, the second question may be meaningless. </p> <ul><li>1 - Should we try to include such a table for all of the train lines (especially those with multiple grades of service)?</li></ul> <ul><li>2 - Since the stops on an "express" may change from time to time, how do we verify that?</li></ul> <p>As much as I like the table, and the information it conveys, #2 may be nightmarish to deal with.

I'm sure each train company has their definition of 上/下 for every line, so it may be ok just to standardize on that and not clutter up the template with even more text. </p><p>Is there a convention for the directions of these templates (ie, is left-previous towards Tokyo; or is it the right-next station)? <a href="/wiki/User:Neier" title="User:Neier">Neier</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan/Archive_1#c-Neier-2006-07-14T12:20:00.000Z-Template:Service_rail_start" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Neier-2006-07-14T12:20:00.000Z-Template:Service_rail_start"><!--__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__--><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-07-14T12:20:00.000Z","author":"Neier","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Neier-2006-07-14T12:20:00.000Z-Template:Service_rail_start","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Neier-2006-07-14T12:20:00.000Z-Template:Service_rail_start"></span> </p><p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z-924_Articles&quot;],&quot;uneditableSection&quot;:true,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;924 Articles&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;924 Articles&quot;}--><h2 id="924_Articles" data-mw-thread-id="h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z"></span>924 Articles<span data-mw-comment-end="h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z-924_Articles"],"uneditableSection":true}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z-924_Articles","timestamp":"2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-924_Articles-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z-924_Articles&quot;],&quot;uneditableSection&quot;:true,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;924 Articles&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;924 Articles&quot;}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tangotango-2006-07-23T15:00:00.000Z-924_Articles"></span>I've just gone through the <a href="/wiki/17_July" class="mw-redirect" title="17 July">17 July</a> database dump and found 924 articles under <a href="/wiki/Category:Rail_transport_in_Japan" title="Category:Rail transport in Japan">Category:Rail transport in Japan</a> and its subcategories.

It seems that there is a consensus to do it, as well as an accepted standard (see <a href="/wiki/Yuzawa,_Akita" title="Yuzawa, Akita">Yuzawa, Akita</a> for an example). I also think that it is in this project's interest to do the updates to the town articles. But, we need to decide on several things first. </p><p>First, a fairly non-controversial one: I think that stations should be listed in the smallest location article (as in, the village, but not the district; or in the ward, but not the city). </p><p>Also, it may be impractical to list all of the stations of <a href="/wiki/Chiyoda,_Tokyo" title="Chiyoda, Tokyo">Chiyoda, Tokyo</a>, so in some cases it would be ok to just list the lines and possibly the major stations in an area with large numbers of stations. That is open to interpretation, I suppose, but I don't know of a good rule of thumb. </p><p>A trickier problem is how we could go about adding this info. There are two options: going through city by city, or going through line by line. Going through city by city would more than likely require some copying from the Japanese wikipedia, since each town seems to already have a 交通 section. Line names and stations would have to be translated, of course. Going through each line might be easier (especially, since a good number of JR lines already have the stations and their cities listed in English). The ja line articles also usually have that info too. </p><p>So, I guess I'm proposing a subtask to add the list of stations to each city/town (with links where possible, and either red links or no links if no station articles exist). I think the most efficient way is for one person to take either a prefecture or a line (see above), and fill it out. My individual preference would be to sort by prefecture, even though it is a little harder. The rationale is mostly due to a prejudice I have against incomplete lists. If a town has three or four separate lines, the article might end up with just one or two lines of stations listed for a long time, until someone volunteered to do the remaining two lines. It also makes it easier to chart progress. </p><p>Opinions and comments?? <a href="/wiki/User:Neier" title="User:Neier">Neier</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan/Archive_1#c-Neier-2006-07-29T02:39:00.000Z-Updating_location_articles" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Neier-2006-07-29T02:39:00.000Z-Updating_location_articles"><!--__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__--><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-07-29T02:39:00.000Z","author":"Neier","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Neier-2006-07-29T02:39:00.000Z-Updating_location_articles","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Neier-2006-07-29T02:39:00.000Z-Updating_location_articles"></span> </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐web.codfw.main‐5c59558b9d‐tfj4k Cached time: 20241129120932 Cache expiry: 864000 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [show‐toc] DiscussionTools time usage: 0.029 seconds CPU time usage: 0.153 seconds Real time usage: 0.244 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 471/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 5656/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 324/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 14/100 Expensive parser function count: 5/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 2175/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.044/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 1486238/52428800 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 127.940 1 -total 67.27% 86.066 1 Template:Talkarchivenav 25.17% 32.208 2 Template:Is_redirect 20.23% 25.881 1 Template:User_JTrain 17.32% 22.164 1 Template:Userbox 8.32% 10.646 1 Template:TOC_float_right 4.59% 5.868 1 Template:FULLBASEPAGENAME 3.77% 4.828 4 Template:Tl 3.30% 4.227 1 Template:Ns_has_subpages 1.24% 1.581 2 Template:Yesno --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:7099983:|#|:idhash:canonical and timestamp 20241129120932 and revision id 1082491153.
