[edit] Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] And...
You might be interested in WP:AIRPORTS, WP:AIRLINES and WP:AIRCRAFT, if you've not already come across them. Thanks/wangi 12:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flybe
Flybe Airlines itself may indeed deserve an article. A list of Flybe destinations, however, does not, since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Feel free to create an article on Flybe. DS 18:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, in the Flybe, and other, articles when you've added a link to the destinations article you had it like:
- For a full list of Flybe destinations, click here
- It's better to use the {{main}} template, like:
-
{{main|Flybe destinations}}
-
- which results in:
- And it's a lowercase 'd'. Thanks/wangi 18:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CULRC
I've requested that the material on CULRC be split off back to its own article - please see the message I have left at Talk:University of Cambridge Aquilina 20:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F1 portal featured article
The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support on my suggestion for the Damon Hill article :D --Skully Collins 07:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected articles on Portal:F1
Hello again.
I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).
Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).
You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Empty articles
Hi! When you create an article, could you please write some basic information about the subject? Empty articles with only a category and a stub tag will most likely be deleted at some point. Happy editings, –Mysid(t) 10:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cambata Aviation
A tag has been placed on Cambata Aviation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:Cambata Aviation. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material. — Tivedshambo (talk) 11:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aviance
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Aviance, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Aviance. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Deletion of TLV Travel Club
(Copied from User talk:Tijuana Brass)
Please Explain...Flymeoutofhere 15:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sure thing. About 12 hours after you initially created this article, an editor marked it for speedy deletion (CSD A7), presumably based upon a perceived lack of notability (something that you're probably familiar with, given your experience — so I won't launch into an explanation). I saw the page listed on C:CSD and took a look, and since I don't like to be too fast to delete pages, I checked the TLV website to try to get an idea for myself. Based upon what I saw there, my understanding was that TLV was more of a conceptual project that was a ways off from being an operational air carrier/service. While I believe that it will eventually meet WP:N, at the time it didn't seem to, and so I deleted the article.
- It's my practice, though, to avoid the speedy deletion of articles where someone has expressed a legitimate interest in keeping it (at which point I'll either leave it alone or put it up for a prod/AfD as a courtesy). I'm open to your reasoning to do that instead. I'd also be happy to move the article's contents to your userspace in order to preserve it for future use, or to list it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Let me know which option you'd like to pursue — preferably on my talk page, so I'll see it sooner.
- Finally, I apologize for not leaving you a note on your talk page about the deletion. I try to inform the prime author(s) of articles I delete — at least when it's an article which seems to have been written in good faith, like yours — but I neglected to do so in your case. Sorry for that. Tijuana Brass 19:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
-
- No problem. It's now located at User:Flymeoutofhere/TLV Travel Club; feel free to move it elsewhere in your userspace if you'd like (just don't forget to tag the redirects for deletion if you do). I usually work on new articles in my userspace as well, since there's plenty of overzealous newpage patrollers who mark legit articles for speedy deletion without realizing that they just haven't been fully developed yet (usually with good intentions, of course). Good luck! Tijuana Brass 19:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Memorial to 'what was'
Re this edit, I'd agree that section as-is is probably not worth much. However in an encyclopedia previous destinations and why they were dropped, or current destination and why they came around, or why ones are going to be dropped is much more encyclopedic than a bare listing of current destinations. Of course, only if it is properly referenced! Thanks/wangi 00:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vienna International Airport
If you wish to move a page, please use the move feature. Blanking a page and redirecting it causes the edit history to be hidden from the new page. Furthermore, the term Schwechat is rarely used in reference to the airport, and WP policy states to use common names. If you wish to move this page, please put up a move request and obtain consensus before doing so. Thanks. DB (talk) 00:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Old City of Jerusalem
You have stated in the infobox that in was put on the list in 1981. As far as I can see this is not true. It was proposed to be added in 1982 and subsequently placed on the List of sites in danger. The infobox should be removed as it is not on the list or it should be changed to make the difference clear. Chesdovi 22:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
