have now added a few refs from peer reviewed journals, not sure how to get rid of the 'lack of citations box' yet (how many do they need..?) Brianthegiant (talk) 19:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm afraid that this source is not helpful, as it is both a commercial site and, since it was written by Greengauge's Director, it is also a primary source. I do not see "Greengauge" mentioned by name in the visible portions of either [1] or [2]. It isn't a question of the number of sources it needs, but it needs enough sources to verify that it meets WP:ORG. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

thanks for your advice,we're working on it.. NB Greengauge 21 is mentioned by name in the science direct/cities article and is listed in its citations, but being an academic paper you need a subscription to view the full article, the URL links only to the abstract, nonetheless the science direct article came up on a google search re greengauge so presumably the search engines have an arrangement with the paywall. am continuing to add citations...

...And continuing to add copyvio, by the look of it, e.g.
"A new report says that many passengers could be paying no more than £20, and dismisses claims that High Speed rail will be the preserve of a wealthy elite."
which is seemingly lifted from http://www.railnews.co.uk/news/general/2010/09/15-high-speed-rail-fares-will.html or similar.
This article is pretty much useless.
