[edit] Swing Riots

Can you elaborate why this is article is considered a stub? Regards Oldfarm 21:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sig

I see that your sig broke with the recent software changes. Same thing happened to me. You might want to go to your preferences page and make it something more like [[User:Aecis|Aecis]] | [[User talk:Aecis|Talk]], with "Raw signatures" checked. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chukotavia

Hi! You double-stubbed Chukotavia "because of the location". Could you clarify what you meant by that? Anadyr is definitely not located in Europe :)—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 14:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't realize that you classified at as Russian as opposed to just Chukotka's. This way it, of course, makes sense, although it's still funny to see it labeled as European.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. I have no problem with it, it's just that it looked weird when I saw your edit. Hopefully you'll gather enough airlines soon enough to get the new cat started. Take care.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sfd? {{Malta-stub}}

Category:Malta-related stubs I just created it, did I do something wrong? Surely whatever it is can just be fixed. Thanks Srl 22:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

right o.

1. already did all of the null edits (you caught it early enough)
2. I fixed or at least Talked to some of the still broken guidelines
3. put links back and forth to the new spot.

thanks again! Srl 23:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A question

Hi Aecis... when you get back from your break, I have a question for you to answer: Have you considered standing for admin? I'll nominate you if you're interested! Grutness...wha? 11:31, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, I can understand that - but have a think about it. If you change your mind, let me know. Grutness...wha? 02:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your nominations.

Am I wrong? I don't think so. Most pro-abortion people don't want this information out. There are plenty of categories and articles that might no appear in an ordinary encyclopedia. This is not an ordinary encyclopedia. So it doesn't matter that you nominated both that is standard operating procedure for people who don't want the info out! Dwain 00:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good work

Thanks for some good sleuthing at the Gay rights in Iraq vote. I followed up and posted my conclusion to the CfD for Category:Pro-life celebrities. Looks like there's also a drive to pad the category with celebrities whose personal views on abortion are ambiguous. I hope admin starts to monitor for push voting.

Thanks! -- Perfecto  22:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BCE

Aecis, hi.

I am puzzled by the way you're going about this. Do you really think it's productive to game WP:3RR like that? As far as techniques, I can't see a difference between what you're doing and what the so-called "pov-pushers" are doing. I think there should be a better solution to this issue than having mini-revert wars in dozens of articles, which seems to be the way we're headed. Care to discuss alternatives? -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I can understand that. For now, though, Wikipedia policy says that either format is ok, and I can't countenance the changing of articles in which one system is already consistently in place, just because it deprives any editor of a moral high ground - it takes two to revert-war. A good idea might be to somehow incorporate that idea of "leave well enough alone" into some kind of guideline. The current policy isn't very sustainable, it seems. Where's the appropriate place to start a discussion on that, do you think? -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I'll look into it; thanks. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, Aecis. Your attention to Sophocles is appreciated. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 18:48, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I just want to thank you for your civility and respectful tone regarding the CfD. We may disagree on the nomination, but I feel that your arguments are made in good faith. I hope I come acroos the same. If not, it's a matter of choice of language on my part. I hope we get the chance to work together soon. --Elliskev 01:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Airport stub

I see that you have been busy tagging with your new North America airport stub. I have slowly been making stubs for the Canadian airports and I'll make sure they have the new tag. However, I am just wondering if we are going to need a {{Canadian-airport-stub}}? There are about 1,700 Canadian airports and most will probably never get beyond the stub stage. I finished the Alberta airports yesterday and am starting on the Ontario ones today. At the same time I am updating the coordinates so they link to a map. This makes it a slower job. I was going to add more airports but I think it's better to revist the ones already done so as to avoid having to search through a larger number of airports later. I just noticed the new CFS is out in a few days which means I'll have to look for changes. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:25, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I have updated all the Ontario airports with the tag and coordinates. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Is there any way to adjust the template so that aiports are listed in alphabetical order. I tried {{NorthAm-airport-stub|Ile aux Coudres Airport}} for Île aux Coudres Airport but it still lists under Î and I see that the St. airports are also out of place. I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 01:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Whoops! I just created 20 more Ontario stubs last night and I've stubbed all the Alberta, Ontario, Newfoundland and New Brunswick with North America stubs. I'll hold off doing anymore until the Canadian one is ready. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll probably be doing more Ontario airports tonight at work (about 12 hours from now). I assume you have a bot to do the changes? CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I think your estimate is under. There are 568 Canadian airport articles. I just counted all the stubs (both general and North America) for all the provinces/territories except for Quebec and Ontario. I get 234 stubs but there are others that are stubs but without the tag. I then added in all the water aerodromes for Quebec (48) and Ontario (26) for a total of 308. That leaves about 230 articles for those two provinces. I would estimate there are about 400 stubs for Canadian airports. On the other hand instead of doing all that counting I could have been editing. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I did it this way. I went to Airports in Canada and then went to the province/territory and worked from there. Of course I was also changing the coords at the same time. Redoing the stub tag alone will be quicker. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
