[edit] Your edits to Washington, D.C.

Hello, it would be great if you could start doing two things: include an edit summary so we can see at a glance what you changed and why, and use the preview button before you save your edits, so you can make all of your changes at once rather than in a long series of small edits. Thanks! Postdlf 22:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Is linking to stubbs good practice?

If it's relevant to the article, it may encourage others to expand those stubs. So yes. Xiner (talk, email) 22:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I can't seem to get the linking right for this citation - please advise. I want the below references to properly display the Flying Amid the Merger Clouds link....

Since this is talking longer than I wanted it too, and the Wiki on Citing Sources doesn't break down the different styles of citing, preferring to only give you one way of coding for the citation (and the way below is easier in conveying the information), I'm going to commit this edit and hopefully someone will explain what's going on, as it seems to be a close mimic of another reference in the same article that displays just fine.

Alfred E. Kahn is an American professor and expert in airline regulation. Commonly known as the "Father of Airline Deregulation,"[1] he chaired the Civil Aeronautics Board during the period when it substantially reduced its regulation the airline industry, paving the way for low-cost airline, from People Express to Southwest Airlines.

I fixed it for you (on the article). Your two problems were not including http:// for the url, and using single digits in the dates. for months before october, and for single digit days, use 03 or 06 instead of just 3 or 6. --Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 20:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Drivers Incorporated

A tag has been placed on Drivers Incorporated requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ziggy Sawdust 23:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
