→Style Tips: Note about current events and dates
Of course, not everything can be sourced, as not everything about the SVR was written down, especially in early days (both original and preserved). Whilst memory isn't always perfect, and stories change with each telling, we do still accept un-sourced material - it's preferable to have an ''almost'' correct record of an event than no record at all!
=== Dating Current Events ===
When discussing the current situation regarding an engine, project, or similar, you should mention the date at which you're writing the comment, e.g. "as of January 2014, locomotive 12345 was being overhauled...". If you use phrases such as "currently" or "at the moment", it can be hard for a reader to work out whether the information is still correct. A date may also encourage someone to add more up-to-date information at a later point in time, as they will be made aware that the page hasn't been updated for a while.
