[edit] Apology
I removed and then restored Polarman. I did it without bothering to check if he was notable enough to stay. Of course once I did check I found that he does look as if he should be included in the article. Sorry about removing him. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lamb Air
Rather than have 2 articles about the same company the one should redirect to the other. So now Lamb Air Ltd. redirects to Lamb Air. I created several other redirects to it, Thomas Lamb Airways, Lamb Airways and Lambair. In the article I did a bit of rewrite and found a couple of external sites about the company. I reduced the picture size of the sons (many people still use dial-up) and removed some of the links. One of the links Greg Lamb is a cricket player. Cheers.

You are making good work of getting the articles done but a couple of tips. When making an article with the same name as an existing one Todd Lamb it's best to give it a name that people will type. It's not likely that people will type Todd Lamb. so I moved it to Todd Lamb (Lamb Air) and fixed the other articles that link to it. This is not to say that the name I moved it to is the best one just better than having a period after the name. Also when you make a link an article check and see where the link is going such as with Greg Lamb. It goes to a cricket player and people will be confused if they click on that.
I had to remove the stuff from the book as it's a copyright violation. Please don't add it back and take a look at Wikipedia:Copyrights. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] images
Image:DBax2.JPG was not needed - Wikipedia is very clever at scaling images. -- RHaworth 06:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:AUS.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:AUS.JPG. 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 an argument 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 00:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
