The oyster dress

The oyster dress is a high fashion gown created by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his Spring/Summer 2003 collection Irere. McQueen's design is a one-shouldered dress in bias-cut beige silk chiffon with a boned upper body and a full-length skirt consisting of hundreds of individual circles of organza sewn in dense layers to the base fabric, resembling an oyster shell. The dress originated as a reinterpretation of the "shellfish dress" designed by John Galliano in 1987, which McQueen had long admired and sought to emulate. Contemporary critical response to McQueen's oyster dress was positive and it is considered an iconic piece of McQueen's work. Only two copies are known to exist, one held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) in New York City and one by media personality Kim Kardashian. McQueen returned to the oyster dress concept several times over his career, most prominently in his Autumn/Winter 2006 collection The Widows of Culloden. (Full article...)

The page currenty states that:

However, the article states that five trains were involved - two stationary, and three moving. Can I suggest that the point is changed to:

☒N Not done I've been reading the article and its sources, and as far as I can tell there were four trains involved in the crash, and a fifth train (the goods train) nearby that was not involved in the crash. I think the article might be slightly misleading in this regard. Could you point me to something in the sources which would support all five trains being involved? --ais523 12:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't know much about this, tbh: I was basing my suggestion purely on the article. Having read around a little more, the H2G2 article [1] says that all five were involved in the accident - "the engine of the troop train turned over sideways and came into contact with the empty wagon service" and "As the 600 tonne express train arrived it ran through the wreckage to hit the rear part of troop train's engine, which it proceeded to push through the wagons of the 4.50 goods service". So both trains in the sidings were involved; obviously all of the express train, troup train and local train were also involved, summing to a total of 5. Whether or not H2G2 counts as a reliable reference is another matter, though. Mike Peel 16:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
checkY Done That source seems to contain the information required. I've made the change. --ais523 10:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
