[edit] Need Your Help

Hello. I'm back, but on a part-time basis. Been monitoring some South American airports. I need a favor. Can you watch La Chinita International Airport and Simón Bolívar International Airport as well? Some unknown user from Venezuela keeps adding flags, and I don't want to be 3RR'ed. Thanks.

Sure! I'd be glad to help. -chris^_^ (talk) 03:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cebu Pacific logo

I saw you reverted the svg logo Image:Cebu Pacific logo.svg, the reason being, it's an old logo. I checked the airline's website, and as far as i can tell, it's exactly the same one, aside from the positioning of the name. the logo currently in use is, according to the guidelines, not that good, for two reasons: 1) it's jpg, and; 2) it includes a slogan. I could correct the positioning on the logo and reupload it, if it will be of any use. if possible, please leave a reply on my talk page. thanks --Ben Stone 07:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay. -chris^_^ (talk) 11:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NWA MSP-MNL

Okay, apparently NWA did some weird scheduling to confuse me and change all the flight numbers up. But never mind...i was dreaming so I'll shut up now! Audude08 (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, HkCaGu have recently started a discussion at WP:AIRPORTS and apparently that NWA will reshuffle its flights numbers for flights beyond its NRT hub in MAy-June. You are welcome to share you comments. Cheers! Audude08 (talk) 19:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguate Jakarta issue

Hey PikDig! When I first saw that Jakarta had been disambiguated on the Singapore Changi Airport, I also disagree that disambiguating Jakarta is really unnecessary as the only airport with commercial service is Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. But User:Huaiwei keeps implying that Jakarta is served by 2 airports (since Halim Airport is served by cargo, general aviation only) and disambiguating it on the page. I just left it alone and not bother it. I see that you have undid my changes....i also undid my other changes. I still agree with you and Jpatokal think that disambiguating Jakarta is totally unnecessary. Cheers! Audude08 (talk) 05:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog Wikipedia

---

Finally, Wikipedia is the 7^th most visited site in the Philippines. Then why is it that the Tagalog Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in your own language remains unknown to most of the Filipinos? The mission of this campaign is to change that. Will you join us?

[edit] PAL Project

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Good to hear! Right now im looking for the news article outlining PAL's Future Fleet plans (back in 2006), I have saved the News Report on my hardrive, but still need to find the online link it originated from! so, It might take some time. In the meantime i'm going to look into the Aircraft Incidents section (Accidents)... Got a few good sites. Cheers! - Hopefully we can get this great article to become featured someday.

Hi again, sorry for the late reply, i have been busy lately.. Regarding PAL historic timetables, i dont have any on me right now, but im looking into it. A lot of our family has worked with PAL around the 60s to the late 90's (when they got into financial troubles).. So i might have some lying around that im not aware of. And if i remember clearly, i found a website dedicated to Historic Timetables and airline memorabilia, i will look for it again because it had its own dedicated PAL section!! i lost the link a while back.. so no garuantees. I plan on cleaning up the accidents list soon, just ive been pressed on time. Thanks again, and a bit off topic, but the future of Air Philippines is in the unknown... according to some close friends working in the airlines in Manila, with the recent focus on PAL express (and replacing some of 2P's routes) we might be seeing the loss of Air Philippines at some point. its future is hanging. it could go either way... would be a shame, it would mean the end of the low-riding macho! wala 737, and worse, 737 - Classic! okay, thanks again. keep in contact regarding the Philippine Airlines Project. It deserves at least 'A' status with all the work thats gone into it. Lovebus 14:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

hi pikdig, again. Good work and idea with the Philippine Airlines destinations References!!! Finally, we have backed up evidence. Good work! I've currently completed 2 Accident reports to add to the PAL article, they've already been added and completed. It's gonna get harder getting info on the early accidents, but i will try. I've also managed to add refs to a lot of the bits of info regarding PAL in the article too. So it should all work out. Before long we can add the article for a review for A class!! Great work with the destinations! Lovebus 06:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi I want to know why you are removing referenced destinations Israel and Kuwait from terminated destinations section, they are listed in the maps you have provided there, heres the one showing Kuwait City http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimyvrroutemap/256962244/in/set-72157594306685057/ and the one showing Lydda http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/pr49/pr49-3.jpg.

[edit] Airport Route Maps

Hi, for the route maps - I use GIS software to make mine, if you're familiar with and have access to GIS software I have more info here. If you're doing a group of regional airports I can offer a short cut though, I can make you a blank map centered on the region and then you can draw in airports and destinations using any graphics software - that's what I did for User:Kawaputra who made the Malaysian airport route maps and I think it worked out pretty well.Kmusser (talk) 13:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The GIS isn't very good at making the curved lines, so you'll want to do that in Photoshop or Inkscape. For world maps there are already a bunch of good blank ones in commons that you could start with. Let me know if you need a regional one.Kmusser (talk) 12:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] phx

Hi PikDig, I need your help in understanding why you un did my post against that other users. this users has done this numerous times without reason. what was posted on the article is valid... care to explain?Daltnpapi4u (talk) 02:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok I understand what you are referring to. However all information provided had proof of what was added. so then on that note it is justified to have right? Daltnpapi4u (talk) 17:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ABS-CBN Show Not Yet Exist

Hello!! Please be informed that Kapamilya Deal or No Deal has no announcement yet but still under development. But only Deal or No Deal Around the World: Philippine Edition is confirm to be air first before the third season of the said game show. Pinoy Dream Academy: Uber! will replace Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edtion Plus: Uber!. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.30.220 (talk) 10:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me? I believe ABS-CBN had already made an announcement that there will be a Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal Season 3, therefore, Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal is classified as a current show. Deal or No Deal Around the World: Philippine Edition is a program of NBC and not that of ABS-CBN therefore it should not be listed. And PDA: Uber! is not a separate show it's a branch of PDA therefore it should not be listed. pikdig (talk) 20:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, but ...

Thanks for your improvements to Noroton Heights (Metro-North station), and your change concerning "plexiglas" (in the infobox) was correct except for the fact that it was in quotes, and referred back to a statement quoted in the article. You can't correct spelling within quotes, as some WP:STYLE guide (that I can't find right now) says. On the other hand, this isn't the first time this has happened, so maybe the quote needs to be replaced with something else in that box. It's a little unusual to have a quote in there, anyway. But thanks for improving the article. Noroton (talk) 01:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
