[edit] Arctic Island's map
Great map. Can I ask what tool you used? Is it a Mercator projection? -- Geo Swan 04:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Msyelevst.jpg
You haven't edited Wikipedia for a while, so I'm sending you a copy of this message through two e-mail addresses I found on your sites. Someone has noted that one of the maps you posted on Wikipedia, Image:Msyelevst.jpg, contains some inaccuracies as to the labels of the place names ("It shows the 9th Ward in New Orleas East and Arabi is shown where the 9th Ward actually is" was an example someone gave). Do you have an updated or corrected version of this map, or would you be interested in making a corrected version?
Thank you!

I hope you can continue to help contribute! --AySz88^-^ 03:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. I added some more notes at the same discussion. I'd noticed some problems with name placements as well, but mostly I was impressed that you can make such maps; we can use more good maps! If you can reccomend programs for creating such maps, or would be willing to take suggestions for an improved version, that would be great. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 06:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Airports
Greetings! While going over the change log in assessments for WikiProject Airports, I noticed that you had created Krasnoyarsk Yemelyanovo Airport. Your help is very much appreciated. I'd like to invite you to join the WikiProject, if you feel so inclined. You can find the participants subpage either from the navigation panel on the right side of all our project pages or simply by going to WP:AIRPORTS/P. Thanks! thadius856talk|airports|neutrality 00:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't suppose you gave the project any more though? We'd still love to have you aboard! thadius856talk|airports|neutrality 21:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, I'm not dismissing it at all; my time has been erratic the past few days. I'll take a look this week. Thanks, -Timvasquez 22:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A statement about my Russian airport work
This past week I have been loading up Wikipedia with information on former Soviet and current Russian airports. Oddly enough, Russian aviation infrastructure has been one of many passing hobbies of mine as I've always been interested in the Soviet military. It's always been very easy to find information on Soviet aircraft, but it's hard to find good information on the facilities, so that's where my curiosity has always led. Starting in mid-2005 I sat down and did an exhaustive survey of all the air bases and airports from all of my maps and references (over 1200 of the airfields) and posted them at russianairfields.com. I no longer wish to maintain that site and would like to see the information prosper with the input of anybody, especially since details are always so scarce, so I decided to start offloading the info to Wikipedia and shut down the russianairfields.com website in 2007 or so.
I have decided to limit inclusions to Wikipedia to ONLY paved airfields longer than 1000 meters, unless the airfield is noteworthy in some way. I am also using making use of the tags Russia-mil-stub, euro-airport-stub, and asia-airport-stub; and the categories Soviet Air Force bases, Russian Air Force bases, Soviet Naval Aviation bases, Russian Navy, Airports built in the Soviet Union, and Category:Airports in Russia as appropriate. I am also using the excellent Airport frame.
If you all have any questions about the work, let me know. -Timvasquez 19:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
