[edit] Flags
See: WP:AIRLINES#Flags in the infobox. Thanks/wangi 18:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Again, please do not add these flags without discussion/consensus. Thanks/wangi 00:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SkyTeam
It looks like I wasn't the only other one reverting to the original style, so hopefully he/she will get the message. DB (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Block
The reason you were blocked can only be discovered by looking at the block summary you got. Did it give a blocking admin, the name of the blocked user, and a blocking reason? Often these problems arise from an "autoblock", which happens when you are (unknowingly) sharing an IP with a vandal. AOL is the most usual culprit, but not the only one.

[edit] 777
Not needed is fine with me but if you want a source i will give you 5 --Bangabalunga 20:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External links
Please do not remove these sections completely without discussion, and please don't change the titles to "External Links", "External links" is the correct heading. Thanks/wangi 19:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I did not remove the sections... I moved them near the bottom of the page as they are not of significance.--Golich17 20:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

- Right, but please stop capitalising section headers - we do not use initial caps, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings). Thanks/wangi 20:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines/Fleet
Don't delete another editors comments. If there are in the wrong place, especially after a long period of time, move them. Vegaswikian 22:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To/Into
Whatever. Warn all you want. "Entry into service" is a standard aerospace term. I have proven with links and references and you refuse to believe it. I'm going to keep changing it. If you persist in changing it back, I will take it to arbitration and I will win, as "Entry to service" is not the standard term. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 17:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I just checked with my grammar expert and she said 'Entry into service' is the correct form. Vegaswikian 18:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- I can see that you've done some backchecking with another user. Wikipedia policy about "to"/"into" would not apply in a situation like this. You have to be flexible in order to allow the entry to be accurate. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 01:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
For whatever it's worth, I agree with both of the above, and having been around here rather longer than you have, I would humbly offer this bit of advice: it's not worth getting your knickers in a twist, especially over two letters. You also don't have a leg to stand on in the grammar department, and you would get buried in an ArbCom case, so trust me on this one. Just let it go. You obviously have a passion for Wikipedia and what it's about, and these sorts of battles are the wrong way to exercise that enthusiasm.--chris.lawson 04:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Dtw.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Dtw.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 21:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalization in fleet descriptions
Hi - I see from one of your edits that you are capitalizing comments on airline/fleet details. The proper casing on that information, I believe, should be that of a normal sentence since it isn't a title (Book title, section titles also aren't capitalized past the first word). Cheers --Matt 23:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I see you keep doing that on edits - I'm honestly curious about why you keep putting capitals on fleet tables.--Matt 06:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- I suggest you check out Wikipedia's Manual of Style for capital letters. Cheers, and let me know if you have questions. I see you're doing lots of good editing, so I don't mean to be negative. --Matt 06:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- Can you please explain to me why Orders should be capitalized? Thanks --Matt 15:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- The policy has its flaws, and this should be exempt from them.--Golich17 16:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- If you find fault with the policy, I suggest you discuss it on the policy talk page, rather than simply making edits without consulting others. Wikipedia is a group effort, and an unannounced attempt to change protocol by any individual, well-intended or not, is bound to cause a negative reaction. Thanks for your interest and understanding! --Helen
- Whilst one may ignore the manual of style where one acts to improve the encyclopedia and where it seems plain that no editor should object to such flouting, it is exceedingly clear that there is no consensus here for your proposition that capitalization in such instances as these is consistent with professional standards and proper grammar, such that, as Helen suggests, you might do well to raise your concerns at the guideline's talk page rather than to edit in contravention of a generally-accepted guideline. Although even the prescriptivist in me cannot imagine a standard under which the use of majuscules in your formulations would be counseled, it is left to the community to decide questions as this, and so I would imagine that you might be more successful and productive as regards the sections of articles over which Matt and you seem to disagree were you to comport your editing with the MoS until such time as the community expresses its support for your propositions. If you should think me entirely wrong or wholly crazy (an eminently real possibility), you should feel free to drop me a note to that effect at my talk page.
