Image date[edit]
It is unclear how the picture of a Harkness locomotive at the Glendale train depot could be taken in 1918, if Harkness only arrived in Cincinnati in 1820. Yoninah (talk) 15:04, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Reworded caption to "Harkness locomotive engine." Will that do it?--Doug Coldwell (talk)
- @Doug Coldwell: but the website is dating the picture at 1918. Did Harkness build locomotives before arriving in Cincinnati? It seems either the date is wrong or the name of the locomotive is wrong. This should be fixed on the Commons page. Yoninah (talk) 15:39, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I may be confused of what you are questioning. This is the way I understand it = the locomotive was built I estimate around 1860 (some 40 years AFTER he arrived in Cincinnati). In 1918 the locomotive engine would be about 60 years old. This I would think could happen, if the locomotive was maintained properly (likely, as it was expensive). Harness founded about 1854 the upscale community of Glendale, sometime after he retired. The first railroad depot was built I would think about 1900 (the one in the picture). It looks like Glendale and Cincinnati are about 20 miles apart. The train depot picture is 98 years later AFTER Harkness came to Cincinatta in 1820 from New Jersey. Can you reword your concern, as somewhere I am missing the point. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:43, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Wonderful. I confused the "1820" date as "1920". Please excuse me. Yoninah (talk) 18:48, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Great. I'm glad we were able to clear this up. BTW, thanks for info box.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Two "White 1965" sources need disambiguation[edit]
There are two "White 1965" sources, which means that short citations using "White 1965" are ambiguous. The sources should have "a" and "b" added to their years, and the "White 1965" short citations should be changed to "White 1965a" and "White 1965b" as appropriate. Ping me if you need help. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
