[edit] Aircraft specifications survey

Since you are a contributor to aviation articles, you may wish to take part in Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Specifications survey. Bobblewik 10:08, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I saw your further discussion on Bobblewik's talk page. I have argued that that voting limitation should not be there (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Procedural objections). But even with it, all it would mean is that any voting you make could be discounted, that doesn't preclude you from suggesting this yourself as well. Jump into the discussion, you can mention about not being able to vote for it. Gene Nygaard 13:00, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aircraft Questions

Loaded weight means exactly what it sounds like: the weight of the plane when loaded (with fuel, payload etc.). This is not a very useful number because the plane could be fully loaded, partially loaded or purposely empty and all these could be the "loaded weight". The correct thing to use would be Maximum gross take-off weight, which is set by the manufacturer.

Range is very subjective. Different stats are published depending on what they want to showcase. For example. The de Havilland Caribou's range is given as "with maximum payload and reserves", showing how far it can carry cargo, while the Bellanca Airbus's range is given with "maximum fuel" and no payload. I prefer the one with the fuel for ferry range, as "flight for range" is defined (for pilots) as an aircraft being flown for maximum range, with the objective being to fly the greatest distance possible per unit of fuel consumed.Trevor macinnis 15:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Just thought I would say thanks for the good work you've been doing in illustrating weather station related pages. -- Solipsist 18:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ICAO aircraft designators

I know you're on a mission to add aircraft designators to the articles, which is fine, but is there possibly a smoother way to integrate them? Just dropping in a single sentence at random, for example right after a line about "Canadian companies manufacturing new Beavers" that reads "The ICAO designation as used in flight plans is DHC2", is not exactly the slickest method. Perhaps somewhere in related content or at least maybe more integrated into the article? It's fine information to have, but it's gotta be included without standing out awkwardly. Maybe we can get some thoughts going at the wikiproject? Thanks in advance. -eric ✈ 07:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Ceiling balloon, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Apple Store Stanford Shopping Center

• It's located in Palo Alto, California. However I kept this out of the title as there is only one Stanford Shopping Center on Earth. It is noted in the article however.Gateman1997 21:17, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 24.92.28.176

I have listed this one on the vanadalism in progress page. He's editing too many articles. I get the feeling we are feeding the troll. CambridgeBayWeather 05:07, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I have that feeling, too. Thanks doing the vandalism report. >>sparkit|TALK<< 05:11, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

I left a message on his talk page and I think he's trolling on there too. I don't think I reply. CambridgeBayWeather 05:14, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: List of countries by infant mortality rate

Thanks for reminding that the table's heading was missing. As for the differences, I'm not an expert in this field; but the source of the data is now provided clearly in List of countries by infant mortality rate (2005). After a little research, I believe that the figure of 284 for Sierra Leone is based on "under 5 mortality rates" (U5MR) (rate of children died before they turn 5 years old), whereas 162 is the standard mortality rates (under 1 years old). --Vsion 06:48, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

_ _ I suggest you VfD this one (IMO, not a speedy) & muster yr info there. I know of EH only what i read on a talk page that lks to Micheal Black, perhaps from a msg you left there, but watch for changes re EH, as i have not lost interest yet.
_ _ You may want to check What links here for SMcD: reverting the addition of those links could be the start of an edit war with the vandals, but you don't need to go thru VfD for an edit, so there's probably something you can do personally.

I hereby award you the Exceptional Newcomer award for your help with new page patrol. --MarkSweep✍ 15:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I noticed your edits while doing RC patrol. Thanks for flagging suspicious pages and keeping the vandals at bay. Especially the former is a thankless task, since your edits won't show up in the list of your contributions if the questionable pages are ultimately deleted. So, here's some well-earned recognition for your work. Cheers, --MarkSweep✍ 15:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bridge article

Hi! Sorry to have inconvenienced you. Thank you for letting me know. - Lucky 6.9 03:16, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Not at all. I saw that you'd recreated it..and I felt kind of bad to have pulled the trigger early. I'm as close as my talk page if you ever need a hand with something. - Lucky 6.9 04:20, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Framers (as per User talk:Soir)

It is entirely possible that the term 'Framers' could be used for other things. I'll make a disambiguation page to show this. Thanks for pointing it out. -- Soir (say hi) 05:28, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

That's not a problem. 'Framers' could also refer to the plural of 'framer', which is enough for at least an initial page. Any further disambiguations can be put upon it, at such future time as any are found out. -- Soir (say hi) 05:33, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Additionally, I do note a given definition of 'framers': [1]. -- Soir (say hi) 05:34, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Student Revolution novel

Articles about books cannot possibly be speedies unless they have no content. Vanity/non-notable/etc criteria apply only to individual people. Instead, the article should be listed on AfD. Cheers --Ryan Delaney ^talk 10:12, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Your name is constantly popping up where ever i go labelling speedy deletes/copyvio stuff/reverting vandals etc. Thanks a lot!

I therefore think you would make a great Admin, however you probably need a bit more experience (at the moment you have less than 1000 edits) to "pass".

Please remind me to nominate you for adminship when you have closer to 2000 edits. thanks and keep up the good work! Martin - The non-blue non-moose 10:37, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I second that. The thing is, CBW has probably made a lot of edits that don't get counted: if you flag an image for deletion and it gets deleted, that edit isn't counted. Not that that should stop you from doing RC patrol, though. The situation could be clarified in any future admin nomination. --MarkSweep✍ 11:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

You'll enjoy being a "policeman" even more when you can delete/block/rollback. I would be happy to nominate you now if you wanted, but it wouldn't be a very clean promotion as some voters oppose unless you meet some magical level of time and edits (although mark does make a good point about your edit count). Martin - The non-blue non-moose 13:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Layman's terms or Leman's term?

Well I checked from google searches and the searches here on wikipedia with no other spelling suggestions or redirections. On google it goes as Leman's terms which was on every search result.

SignalMan

[edit] Well...

I heard of the Layman as "leman" from friends and certain movie quoates where the sound of an 'E' is mentioned in it.

[edit] Demarest Hall

Hey, I don't know where to put this, but I have copyright permission for the Demarest Hall wikipedia entry. I live with Enon Avital, the creator of the webpage, it's fine, email him here: dewfather@gmail.com

Or sabrina.vargas@gmail.com and khennessey@echo.rutgers.edu who I both work with as Culture Studies leader of Demarest Hall.

[edit] Opalescence

Probably, opalescence deserves its own article. In the meantime, I redirected it to opal because that article includes the following: "The term opalescence is commonly and erroneously used to describe this unique and beautiful phenomenon, which is correctly termed play of color. Contrarily, opalescence is correctly applied to the milky, turbid appearance of common or potch opal. Potch does not show a play of color." If someone follows opalescence to opal they will at least find some discussion of the term there. Critical opalescence seems to be a very specific kind of opalescence, and probably not everything that links to opalescence should lead the reader to critical opalescence. There are only a handful of articles that link to opalescence anyway; if any of them should lead to critical opalescence maybe you could fix them so they do. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 00:34, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About double redirects

Hi, I've been working on the double redirects project and I think I've finished my first section :-) Would you mind checking if I did it right? And am I right to assume that I can just ignore the red links if I can't make any sense out of them? I hope it's not too much trouble, if it is please let me know. Thanks! --JoanneB 15:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Nice to know I'm on the right track. Thanks for the hints on the red links, I'll see what I can find, some of them look pretty easy. --JoanneB 15:45, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not too hard. I stumbled upon a couple of circular or other weird things, but I managed to solve all of those puzzles ;-)

[edit] Japanese emperors

Hi. I noticed that you were fixing double redirects for Emperor Ninkō. Those redirects will actually be correct very shortly since all of the emperor articles are in the process of being retitled "Emperor X". Thanks. -Jefu 09:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I moved the Rub Hall entry to 'tent'. Is that better?

[edit] Beech King

Hi. I noticed you removed the BE10 picture. I put up a new one that I took and is PD. For some reason though I'm not getting the little blurb under the picture. Any idea why? Is it a function of the box that it's in? Cheers

• Do you mean the caption under the picture in the article? That's a function of the formatting when you insert the photo. For instance (without the brackets):

image:Brugge_Canel.jpg|300px|thumb|right| A pretty canal scene in Brugge taken on my Honeymoon 2005

The text about the canal scene goes to the right of the | character. You can see it used on my userpage. Let me know if this answers your question! Sorry about the hassle but there's a project that's clearing out unsourced images. Rx StrangeLove 23:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvios

Hi there. I've spent some time clearing out what I can of WP:CP lately, and you make some excellent catches. Can I just ask that you use the shiny new template for reporting them, as now in the instructions at the top of the page? It gives most of the important links I and others need to speed the drudgery of the process along. Thanks. -Splash^talk 17:17, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant {{article-cv}} to be used when listing them at CP. {{copyvio}} is still to be used when blanking the article. -Splash^talk 17:56, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About TheFudge

In the future, when nominating an article for speedy deletion, say that it does not assert notability rather than non-notable as non-notable is not a speedy deletion criteria (whereas does not assert notability is.) I hit an edit conflict, and I had already created the AfD page, so I decided to go through with it. I ended up looking at the Speedy Deletion criteria again, and the article probably fits it though... Sorry about that. — Ambush Commander^(Talk) 20:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

This one did meet the criteria pretty clearly, and I have just speedied it. By way of filling in Ambush's comment, we have a specific tag for nn-bio's: {{nn-bio}}, or, equivalently, {{db-bio}}.-Splash^talk 23:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sudbury Airport, greater or lesser

Ah, okay. Fair enough. I just went by how the airport promotes itself on its own website and the city's tourist marketing site. You'd think they'd be consistent... Bearcat 22:57, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jeisa Chiminazzo...

is still listed in Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Poster claims permission. They say on the talk page that they have communicated with you. From reading the comment at WP:CP, I do not think they have much chance of being able to give permission since someone else wrote the text. What was the communication with you? Can the copyvio notice be removed? -Splash^talk 01:26, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed to Avoid Redirect

I noticed that you have "fixed" a bunch of pages to avoid redirect. Taking for example pages that were: Pearson International Airport and making them Pearson International Airport. I don't think these kind of changes are a good idea. I understand that single redirects are considered acceptable and I think that it makes the readability of the source much less useful. Double redirects should be fixed, but they should be fixed at the redirect page. - Webgeer 20:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, obviously what is done is done and fixing up locations where the incorrect name is used is always good. With regard to your note about speed, it isn't really relevant. It is all done on the server side, so the only thing is added is the single line of text where it says "Page redirected from..." One might argue that it slows down the server, but this would be an extremely small amount (were talking a few lines of code and one more database lookup to the dozens that are done when you load a page). I made the comment partly because I used to do the same type of changes (not very large scale, just when I noticed them). I've come to realize that having readable source is probably better. -- Webgeer 20:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I had to revert to the old links because I had asked that no one change the links in those articles because I wanted them to reflect the names of what it was when 9/11 happened. -- SNIyer12 17:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I put on the talk pages about comparing 9/11 with present, especially with Montreal-Dorval International Airport. When I mentioned the airport for the first time on that page (one of them being 9/11 timeline), I asked that no one change the name or link for Montreal-Dorval International Airport, even though it is now Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, because it was Dorval when 9/11 happened. -- SNIyer12 17:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] copyvios

Well done for your ongoing work spotting copyvios. Two points:

• When using template:copyvio, don't put [] round the urls. That means they will come out thus: [2] . It is better to leave them naked so they come out thus: http://ftp.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/glo/impressionism/ .
• There has been a recent change of policy at WP:CSD#Articles 8. We can now speedy them using {{db-copyvio|http://ftp.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/glo/impressionism/}} for example. We are asked to notify the poster using {{Nothanks-sd}}.

[edit] Aircraft specs policy

Several weeks ago, you voted in the WikiProject Aircraft Specifications Survey. One of the results of the survey was that the specifications for the various aircraft articles will now be displayed using a template. Ericg and I have just finished developing that template; a lengthier bulletin can be found on the WT:Air talkpage. Naturally, we will need to begin a drive to update the aircraft articles. However, several topics in the survey did reach establish consensus, and they need to be resolved before we implement the template. It is crticial that we make some conclusion, so that updating of the specs can resume as soon as possible. You can take part in the discussions here.

[edit] Expatriates

Thanks for reversing the vandalism by 69.237.182.234. - which I've had to reverse again!

For his/her information, I don't hold anything against expatriates having been one myself - born in Kenya, brought up in Nigeria and educated in Singapore and the UK, where I have lived since 1989, not that has stopped me from travelling around the world and learning other languages.

However, I wouldn't use the term Third Culture Kid which is just silly, nor would I apply it to anyone else I know with a similar background to mine.

The references to former British expatriates as 'When I's and 'FILTH - Failed In London Try Hongkong' are not regarded as derogatory, and in any event they are now a bit dated now that the sun has set on the Empire and British citizens can no longer work in Hong Kong without visas.

Contradictions - I'm not sure how the leave the content visible instruction made it onto that table- it was not a part of the proposal - I will investigate further. Whether people blank the article or just add the template dones't matter at this point- mostly I notified recent RC partollers to get them to start using the system, we'll fis the bugs as they arise.--nixie 02:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete

Coo, I appreciate the heads up. Question... its late so I'm unsure what "getting caught the same way" is referring to; also I asked someone else, but I was wondering how long does one wait after putting a Speedy Delete header to actually delete the article? And if one chooses to delete it themselves, is there anything else that is necessary/customary? Such as a template explaining the deletion to the anon/author, and what steps they can take to undelete it? Thanks. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 05:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Statement requested for Arbitration

I noticed you pointed out some edits that User:Lightbringer made that violated copyright or other Wikipedia policies, and that he summarily disagreed with you for no valid reason. There is currently an arbitration request regarding Freemasonry here. We were (until the article was locked) suffering the same sorts of unreferenced and/or copyright violating edits that you pointed out. Therefore, if you are so inclined, would you mind making a statement about those issues that you found on other articles? I think it illustrates a systematic problem that it may be beneficial for the arbitrators to be aware of. MSJapan 02:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Lists of airports by ICAO code

You could add the breakouts that you have like AC, AB to the template. I don't think that would be the right thing to do. Maybe a second nav template could be built for this? I'm not sure how to do that and make it work with the main one. Take a look at Category:Schools established in the 20th century for some ideas on what might work.

BTW, could you add links for the ICAO codes? The project says that a redirect or DAB should exist for these. By adding the links, we would know which articles need to be added. Some of the IATA articles did that and some did not. With your work, maybe all of the ICAO pages will wind up with links. Vegaswikian 08:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I should have added, we will need this solution for the US mainland airports that start with K. Vegaswikian 08:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

• I don't think the links need to be bold.Vegaswikian 08:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Take a look at List of airports in Canada (A-C) I think this works better. If it works for you, the introduction needs a little work to go with the template. You can add more text to the nav box and more links when they are ready. Then just add the template to the other articles. For the ICAO codes, just create a second template that is linked link template:List of airports in Canada and let that point to the letter lists. Then include that template in each article. You might be able to include it all in the one I started, might be a lot of information but it would make all of the Canada info available in one nav box. Vegaswikian 09:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, someone called RFiend deleted my article for Terry McCrann, a financial editor for a newspaper in Melbourne, Australia. He deleted it 'speedily'; it did not even last 4 hours! Anyway, point is, in this article I was attempting to get a photograph into one of those right-hand-side boxes. I tried copying the code from another article, but it had errors. Do you know the correct code?

[edit] anon 206.116.115.69

Can you check the edits from this IP on a few of the Canada airport pages? The ones being made to McCarran are not correct. I suspect this may be true for the others. BTW, how do the templates look for the ICAO and Canada airports look now that the changes appear to be done? I think that what we did look fine and works well.

[edit] help!

Sorry to bug you. I'm the new user who you sent some useful links to a few days ago so I could use proper style. I have a new problem....I changed skins in my preferences, and cannot get back to the default skin. Do you have any ideas how to fix this? (I'm about to try firefox to see if my problem is browser-related.) Evenprime 04:55, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Never mind. I was able to fix it with mozilla. IE is evil. Evenprime 05:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adville

Does this article DSL_around_the_world seem to you to be creeping into adville or what? I just want to do a reality check cuz it seems like either a guide to services which we are not or a collection of ad pages. I am tired right now so I wanted more input Qaz ^(talk) 13:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay...it wasn't the incorrect spelling essentially...it was the lack of info and the duplication of an existing article...redirect works though.--MONGO 14:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for accepting, this page says you (as opposed to me) have to add it to the rfa page, I would have done it but I wasn't sure if you had deliberately not added it yet because you wanted to add more to your answers or something. thanks and good luck. Martin 10:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

You just needed to add {{Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/CambridgeBayWeather}} ---- to the main page, the whole process is a bit confusing, but I've done it now. Martin 11:14, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] From a new admin

Thank you for your interest in candidates on RfA, and in my recent candidacy. Even though I don't think we've worked together on an article before, it's good to meet you. The sysop buttons look all very shiny at the moment, but I beleive that cooperation is the greatest tool. So, let me know if you could do with some collaboration in the future. Thanks. --Gareth Hughes 10:16, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship. It was successful thanks to you. I will strive to an open, approachable and transparent administrator. --Jcw69 17:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You're a sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Please also add your name to WP:LA. User:Nichalp/sg 07:01, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations, and you're quite welcome. I know you'll do a great job. (I had thought you were aleady an admin!) --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 00:40, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Getting logged out

Hi, I was just surfing past your user page and noticed the bit about getting logged out. I too suffer the same problem (it's ~1 min of inactivity for me). I've found that clicking "Remember Me" when logging in (make sure cookies are enabled) solves this problem. It might be worth a try, even if it's an undesirable workaround. -Lommer | ^talk 06:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I think you are correct on checking the "Remember Me", as at home I have it checked and there seems to be no problem with the logging out. The rest of the time I'm at work and I really don't want to leave my password enabled there, as there are a couple of people who might abuse it because they would think it funny. I could clear everything after I finished but I would get busy and forget (as my supervisor does with his bank account, etc). The strange thing is that getting logged out is really random. Yesterday I had a two hour gap between edits and didn't get logged out. Yet the other day I got logged out even though I was editing. Sometimes the logging out occurs when clicking on a link and then hitting the back button logs back in. The worst was when I had to shut the browser down and start again. This makes me wonder if it's a browser created problem. What ar you using? I'm using Maxthon which is an IE based browser so I should give Firefox a try. CambridgeBayWeather 14:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I dunno - I'm using firefox 1.0.7. And my symptoms are in full agreeance with the randomness observation. The only thing I find is that If I'm getting logged out spontaneously, it happens repeatedly for some time (sometimes as long as a couple hours) and then I'll go for a day or two without it happening. This leads me to believe its a wikimedia server-side problem or something to do with general net traffic or settings. However, I know enough to know that I don't know much about this kind of stuff and all that is pure speculation. I haven't tried using other browsers yet, I'll give that a shot next time it happens. -Lommer | ^talk 21:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

At home and followed a link from a user page with a right click and was logged out. Then clicked on a link from that pge and was logged back in again. Strage. CambridgeBayWeather 21:43, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
