About the (MTR) Infobox

Well, everything seems all right there. I guess this means 1 MTR infobox is enough for all stations in the network.

Cheers. --Kylohk 15:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I have added infoboxes to all stations in the MTR network but Airport, AsiaWorld-Expo and Nam Cheong.

Thank you for your attention.

Image:Motorola MING.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Motorola MING.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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.– Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 13:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Countries and territories of East Asia

Hi Peterwhy,

[1]

Suggest that if flags added to this (or similar) templates, they are vertically aligned so as to keep the template from looking cluttered. What do you think...? Yours, David Kernow (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

...I found that there were some similar navigation box with flags, and so i added flags to the Template:Countries and territories of East Asia. Here are four boxes which show the previous version, the current version, the version if countries are aligned vertically, and my suggested solution...

Thanks for including these. I experimented with them and produced:

v • d • e

Countries and territories of East Asia

The code, however, is more complex, so I'm thinking it might be worth creating a {{Navigation with table}} or the like for Navigation templates featuring flags. On the other hand, tidying the flags as above produces a template that doesn't use its full width; I also wonder whether it's worth including flags, especially in templates with relatively few links such as the above... If, though, people reckon they're useful, I think one or more templates that assist in their alignment are needed. Yours, David (talk) 18:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

...Have created and used {{Navigation with columns}} with {{Countries and territories of East Asia}}; what do you think...? David (talk) 05:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Peterwhy/Archive 1 ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.

Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)

Time：After 5:00pm

Proposed region：Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

Please don't hesitate to give your good suggestion to us

Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

Template:Aviation lists

Yes, "Template:Navigation" has been used for a long time, but on 8 August a change in the wiki code forced this navbox to display in an autocollapsed state. The change to a different base template preserves the original functionality of the box (displaying expanded). Of course, if you know how to force the box to display expanded, then please feel free to revert to Template:Navigation and implement this fix. Cheers --Rlandmann 07:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hong Kong Metro Station Formats

Hello. I noticed that you have changed the names of the KCR Stations, dropping the "Station" part.

To be honest, I have been a long supporter of changing the names of all metro stations by adding "station," thereby using the actual name of the stations.

So what you have just done is undo that effort.

Bourquie 17:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to point out several things that have been posted to me by you.

"For example, in their announcements, 'Station' or '站' is never added after 'Central' or after 'Tai Po Market' or after whichever station."

The word "station/站" is dropped because the sentence already includes the word "station."

"All their maps drop the last word 'Station."'

Please check the external links on Lo Wu Station and see the map.

Although the platforms don't have the word "station/站," the facades and entrances do.

Also KCR maps all have the word "station/站."

In conclusion, I don't see how MTR or KCR "seldomly" use the word "station" in their systems. Futhermore, it only makes sense to have "Station" on the title of the article, like the Chinese version.

Pilot

Hi Peter! do you know how to become pilot in China for example Air China China Eastern Airlines China Southern Airlines pilot? Do the airlines have their own flight schools, or not, and what are the requirements? Do you haveonly to speak english or also chinese? Dagadt —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 12:30, August 26, 2007 (UTC).

Air China Flight 120

Thanks for adding the info the the article. Please ensure that you don't use identical wording to the original source. I've changed some of the wording to make it more different. I also removed some of the detail that I felt was excessive for the article. Obviously, feel free to edit my changes! Cheers! Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 15:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion! The article was China Airlines Flight 120; I don't know how I screwed it up! Here's a diff to your edit with my changes [2]. I essentially condensed and removed some detail. -- Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 17:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Don Mueang Airport

Don Mueang Airport is no longer an international one. It now serves non-connecting domestic flights and military aviation. So I think the article should not reflect "international". Bonchygeez 15:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:BS, Template:BS3

I didn’t take any screenshots, but what happened was that diagrams which mix together multiple types of column rather than sticking to just BS or just BS3 didn’t line up properly. The one where I noticed it most was Template:Cross Country Route, which switches between BS, BS3, and BS5 depending on the complexity of an individual row; with the modified templates, every row aligned to the left, causing them not to flow into each other.

This sort of switching is also necessary to use the branching symbols, as in my experimental Copenhagen diagram, which rendered perfectly before the changes, but incorrectly afterwards; Nørreport through Christianshavn, instead of being centred between the two branches, were on the left, directly above the Vestamager branch. David Arthur (talk) 14:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

This picture demonstrate the problem. The image on the left is the correct diagram, which I see with the unmodified templates; with your modifications, it becomes the incorrect version on the right. David Arthur (talk) 17:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I’m afraid it‘s still wrong, and in the same way. David Arthur (talk) 16:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Please let me know i've missed out more that are supposed to be amended when changes are made. Thanks! - oahiyeel ^talk 20:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Rail pictograms

I note that a range of rail pictograms I've created in the past week or two have been re-uploaded by yourself under different codes. Whilst there is nothing intrinsically wrong with that (though I think a far better practice would have been to discuss with me why you thought the codes were incorrect and to let me do something about that) you have chosen to assign the release of copyright to yourself when you downloaded-and-uploaded them, rather than duplicating the information section relating to me. I find this pretty unacceptable and reprehensible, not to say a poor way to make yourself look better at the cost of the efforts of other editors. --AlisonW (talk) 20:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

My apologies for the brusqueness of my tone; it had been a shock to discover what had happened and as I had taken steps to ensure I copied the originator data when moving pictograms myself I had presumed that others would to. As regards the errors in naming for some of them it was, in part, due to pre-existing 'wrong' codes being in general use and thus seeking at that time to retain the naming style from those earlier creations by others. --AlisonW (talk) 21:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

GRENZE: Fine by me; I picked up one of the existing ones to base the mu icons on and found them both with svg coding errors so all to the good if you've sorted the lot. --AlisonW (talk) 16:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
