[edit] go!
This one is going to be messy. It is owned by the group, but is operated by Mesa Airlines. We need to keep information in the least number of places. I did move most of the text from the Mesa Airlines article, but then realized something needs to remain there. I add something back in. Vegaswikian 07:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, we'll definitely need to keep an eye on the situation to see how they work things out. Earlier announcements had made it sound like it would be another airline in parallel with Mesa, Freedom, etc., but then an article somewhere (saw it last night, don't remember where at this particular moment) said it would be operated by Mesa Airlines. Once they get going hopefully we'll get a better idea of how they're operating. As long as Mesa Airlines operates their flights then I think they need a mention there, and they definitely need a mention on the Mesa Air Group page. But most of the specific information, especially once they are actually flying, should go on the go! page. -- Hawaiian717 16:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disneyland Monorail System Shuttle Mode
Thanks for the fix... I feel stupid now... It was February when I made my entry in the talk page about Blue and Purple being in service with Red in the shop after talking to a Cast Member... ;)

[edit] Speedy deletion
I noticed that you tagged the page Raider Painting Company for speedy deletion with the reason "no assertion of notability". However, "no assertion of notability" is not a criteria for speedy deletion with respect to companies, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 10:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revert on Danger Hiptop
Good catch on the vandalism. It would be useful, however, if you added something to the offender's talk page. I've done so in this case. -- BillWeiss | Talk 06:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The move of Fuji (company)
I've already gone ahead and done the move to List of Fujifilm products. I believe the move is uncontraversial. Fuji (company) now redirects to Fujifilm. I've thus removed the page from Wikipedia:requested moves. Helicoptor 03:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EV Nova date
Yeah, sorry about that; I was reverting one edit and accidently reverted yours. Whoopsie! EVula 15:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not completely sure what happened there. All I did was fix the date and that silly line reappeared. All I can think of was that while I was making my edit someone else edited the other line, though I'm not sure why it didn't report an edit conflict. Oh well, all is well now. :) -- Hawaiian717 16:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hawaiian Airlines fleet chart
Hi, I saw your conversation on User_talk:Golich17 about the fleet chart for Hawaiian Airlines. I thought I'd point you toward the format that I used for the United Airlines fleet chart. If you want I can go ahead and put together the chart for Hawaiian.. just let me know.. —Cliffb 08:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting. That might work. I can't confirm how to define each type, but looking at the numbers I could guess which are which: the 3 252 seat aircraft are probably N580HA-N582HA, the three aircraft originally intended for Ansett, the four 259 seat aircraft would be N583HA-N586HA, the ex-LTU aircraft, and the remaining aircraft would be the new aircraft leased from Boeing and AWAS with the 777-style interiors. This is just a guess though based on how the number of each seating configuration line up with the numbers from each set of aircraft, but I don't know of any source that would confirm this. -- Hawaiian717 14:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sarah lorondeau
I've replaced your prod tag with an AfD since this article has been speedied at least once before. You are welcome to add your comments here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah lorondeau. Rklawton 15:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Page Patrol
Hi! I'm doing New Page Patrol with you today, and I've noticed that you're tagging a number of articles with {{nonsense}}. However, the nonsense criterion is to be used only when the text is "unsalvageably incoherent". Thus, articles about some kid's mom or articles about the new cool word some kids made up are not nonsense in the CSD sense. They're sure to be deleted, yes, but not by that criterion. The article about the kid's mom could be tagged with {{db-bio}}; articles about slang can be tagged with either {{db-nocontext}} or, if they're longer and more developed, {{prod}} with a reason of "WP:NEO" or "WP:NFT". Some users (myself included) are incredibly picky about how the criteria for speedy deletion are used. The articles should be deleted, so it's not a really big deal, but you might want to re-read WP:CSD for more clarification. Anyway, keep up the good work and happy editing! -- Merope Talk 18:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I sometimes get a bit overzealous with tagging for deletion. I will try to be more careful about selecting criteria and using PROD or AfD when appropriate. -- Hawaiian717 18:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think "overzealous" was my exact word when I had another editor point out my CSD issues a few months back. :) Again, it's not a big deal--the stuff you're tagging is crap--but rules are rules. -- Merope Talk 19:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I see the problem now. I'm confusing {{db-nonsense}} with {{db-crap}} -- which we don't seem to have. ;) -- Hawaiian717 19:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HERO Propaganda on Go! articles
Yea, what a mess. Did anyone read WP:NPOV? I decided to just go in and start a cleanup. Probably more will need to be deleted, but time will tell. If the extra material gets added back in, then one of the POV templates will need to be added. Vegaswikian 18:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think I'm finished with go! The only action that may be needed is to add the formation lawsuits to the end of the history section with a lower level heading. This will allow that information to grow in one place and leave the normal history cleaner looking for most readers. Vegaswikian 19:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy criteria
Did you know that G11 is for spam? Works great on company spam articles. Vegaswikian 23:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I did. This one didn't strike me as overly spammy though, but rather a simple no assertion of notability for a company. If you look up on my talk page, I actually had tagged it for speedy once before, but before no assertion of notability was a CSD for companies, and I never got around to prod/AfDing it. I'm more likely to use CSD G11 if it's full of marketing speak and/or actually attempts to assert notability but pretty clearly isn't. -- Hawaiian717 23:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fried coke
Thanks -- I edited the recreated article. NawlinWiki 15:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] why are you?
adding those speedy deletion tags???
remove it, this image is been used in Beyoncé's article as I posted, it is needed and it is free content, because the link cannot be used in wikipedia (the link to the site, RIAA.com) Eduemoni 00:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- You cant link any address from RIAA site because some restrictions, why dont you stop deleting randomly things and start to improve the articles, and help the users to find the right way to post things?
- RIAA is an publicy agency (non-governmental), because it is viewable to everyone and this organization is like an TV-Channel or an Radio Station, so it is free content
- Eduemoni 00:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- DID YOU SEE THE (non-governmental)???
- I dont think so

[edit] Central African Republic
Click here: Lists of companies#C; as you can see, every country has a list and every company has a category. Please remove the prod tag. --McTrixie 21:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I hadn't noticed that. I removed the prod tag. The concept of having these lists seems a bit silly to me when we also have the categories, which are also easier to maintain, but that's another issue for another day... -- Hawaiian717 21:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for removing the tag. As far as lists and categories are concerned, the lists can accept any typed entry, including companies that have no articles; whereas the categories of course consist only of companies with written articles. Furthermore, the lists are useful as a general study aid and as a reference for those who write articles about companies. --McTrixie 21:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fashion blogs
Hang on Speedy Gonzales, don't delete the Fashion Blogs article!
In the Wikipedia entry on blog, there are links to Political Blogs, Travel Blogs and Law Blogs.
Fashion blogs have been around since 2001, and fashion bloggers as citizen journalists were invited to this year's New York Fashion Week. A Factiva search reveals newspaper reports on Fashion Blogs dating from 2002 in national mastheads such as NY Times and Washington Post.
This is a genuine cultural phenomenon and the author is compiling the research for the article.
You might not read fashion blogs, but millions of people around the world do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mercurius (talk • contribs) 12:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC-8) And here comes the signature ;) Mercurius 20:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Star Trek Article
Hawaiian717 you seem to be a good editor whith your heart in the right place; however, you seemed to push and your opionion with the deletion of the Han Solo example used in the article Star Trek: The Original Series. The paragraph was used as an example of why changing works of art are contraversial. There was nothing in the paragraph that was against Wikipedia standards or policies. Understand that the article is a Star Trek page but most Star Trek fans are familiar with Star Wars and the paragraph servered as a good example with familiar material. Please use discussion pages prior to such deletion actions so that we have a consensus. Thanks FrankWilliams 01:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CheapTickets
Good work there, CheapTickets will certainly now avoid speedy deletion. If someone were to nominate it for deletion it might suffer for lack of a "first this," "third largest that" sort of flavour, just for completeness I say. I'm happy enough now to let eventualism work its magic, and I much appreciate the note. - brenneman 22:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nesta Webster
Can you MOVE the above article to "Nesta H.Webster"?
- She always used her middle name & so does the Library of Congress. --Ludvikus 15:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hawaiian and Aloha establishment date
I changed the establishment dates on these to be consistent with the way it is handled on the hundreds of other airlines articles. In the case of Hawaiian Airlines, Inter Island Airways was in fact established in 1929. It should have an article of its own detailing its work from 1929 until it became known as Hawaiian Airlines in 1941. The same goes for Trans Pacific Airlines (1946 establishment) and Aloha (1958). Perfectly logical and applied throughout the airlines area. Ardfern 18:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] on cogim
msnbc mentioned them in reporting on Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction's recent report about 10's of millions of dollars wasted in the reconstuction process. Rdjxrjn 19:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- did you try googling "cogim + iraq", "cogim + Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction". I don't care a whole lot------- if someone is compelled to delete, then so be it. GoesAround-ComesAround-KarateKid 20:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Please look at Talk:Cogim. Thanks. IWannWikYouLikeAnAnimal 19:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
You are so right about this! Thanks for catching that. The book has been cited wrong for a while, then; the ISBN I put in is numerically closer to what was there originally, but, yours is right for the actual book cited. Kind Regards, Keesiewonder talk 17:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ah ... Is this the ISBN for the Round Two book? 0-9653993-2-2 If you're 100% certain it is correct, I know how to put it in so SmackBot does not complain about it. Let me know, and then you can see the "trick." Keesiewonder talk 17:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- The ISBN clean-up group has developed a tag for ISBNs such as this one that are reported as being invalid as published. They are invalid because their internal check digit does not pan out. But, since the publisher released the book with the number, many feel the ISBN is still useful. I've appended the ISBN you have for the book we've been talking about. I agree in this case, the OCLC is more useful. Inserting the invalid as published ISBN inside a tag like this {{Listed Invalid ISBN|0-9653993-2-2}} prevents SmackBot from complaining about this particular ISBN again in the future. If you don't want the ISBN displayed at all, you may, of course, remove it. If you like it, you can insert in in the other article that cites this same book. Hope this helps, Keesiewonder talk 18:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ExpressJet start date at MRY
That's fine...it did look a little messy Sox23 01:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] US Airways fleet
If your going to keep the US Airways and America West fleet totals seperate you might want to remove the link that goes to US Airways current fleet. That information is misleading since it gives information for the combined airline —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Daltnpapi4u (talk • contribs) 22:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Adding update Trek Images to the articles
To maintain the integrity of the original episode, please leave the original screenshot images in the article side bars intact. If you want to add a remastered image place under the "40th Anniversary" section of the article. Thank you. Cyberia23 00:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, you're not the one who did it. Sorry. Cyberia23 00:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] please stop giving me messages
you've already deleted the article, then why still give me messages about speedy deletion? please stop giving me messages unless there is a deeper reason for this.Tridungvo 20:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
still having those copyright-issues on my talk page makes me look bad. i have learned from my mistakes and don't intend on repeating them. i want to start with blank pages. Tridungvo 22:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
ok. leave it then. if that is how square things works. Tridungvo 01:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why are you deleting edits to the airliners.net page?
If you think there are factual errors, please suggest revisions.
Perspectives you do not like are not grounds for deletion.

[edit] Localization of YDL
I agree that it was extremely subtle :) It really isn't a great picture for representating localization. I one were to ask Terra Soft for a better screen shot, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to supply one. -- Henriok 21:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
