The Be-Rad

Thanks for nominating bad articles for deletion. Please note that for biographies such as The Be-Rad which are biographies that do not assert the notability of the person discussed, you can tag them for speedy deletion by adding {{db-bio}} to the page; no AfD nomination is necessary. Please see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for this and other speedy deletion criteria, and their tags. Kimchi.sg 01:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Stub sorting - Giant Short-Faced Bear

I noticed that recently you marked Giant Short-Faced Bear as {{animal-stub}}. Please be aware that {{animal-stub}} has many sub-categories, including {{mammal-stub}}; and that {{mammal-stub}} itself has {{carnivora-stub}} as a sub-category. This is where Giant Short-Faced Bear belongs, since it belongs to order carnivora, as its taxo-box shows.132.70.50.117 05:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Model aircraft articles

Hi! I see you've created a spate of articles about model aircraft manufacturers. However, all of these articles are very short, provide no context, and many of them don't appear to be about notable companies. Rather than creating dozens of articles with no content, perhaps you could create a list of model manufacturers? Or you could add more information to existing articles? Let me know if you have questions, and happy editing! -- Merope 19:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Gävle Goat

I'm speechles! This goat is (in)famous in USA, Japan, Europe, China etc. Is that notable enough for you......I wont youse harsh language.....This time......Don't be so F***ing trigger happy next time! I just spend over 2 hours on this article! FreddyFred 12:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE don't go around on Wikipedia and nominate articles for deletion before you KNOW they need to be. Use the discussion board or the creators TALK page before you do anyhting next time. And definetly not delete something that oviously have strong facts OR really exists. That's just plain stupid. I got my text back, so no damage done. But THINK next time........ Other than that: have fun on Wikipedia, it needs you! FreddyFred 12:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion: VeritasAcademy

Thanks for paying attention to articles that aren't worthy of inclusion in WP! I wanted to point out that you can list multiple, related articles for deletion under the same heading by following the directions laid out here. Keep up the good work! -- Merope 17:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, we were all new once. (And I still make mistakes!) Just let me know if you have any questions. -- Merope 17:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Nelgetha

For articles whose deletion are probably not controversial, such as Nelgetha, you should try using proposed deletion first, by adding {{subst:prod|reason=Your reason for deleting.}}. It will save you time making AfD nomination pages. Regards, Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 19:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Another reason why we would greatly prefer you to use proposed deletion first is that it clutters up the AfD log with uncontroversial deletions. Regards, Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 19:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

If you aren't sure when to use prod, just remember this simple rule: Always use {{prod}} first, no matter what type of article. Use AfD if and only if the {{prod}} tag is removed. Thanks! Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 21:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Www.pokemoncenter.co.nr

Hey, there. It would be much more useful if you added a specific reason for the db tag. By itself, it's kind of useless. Cheers. (|-- UlTiMuS 21:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Alfonso de Spina → Alphonso de Spina, and stub templates

I've redirected the article you created, Alfonso de Spina, to the already existing and more complete article Alphonso de Spina. Please check for such duplicate spellings before creating articles. Also, I'd recommend looking through this list to find stub tags that are more specific than simply {{stub}}, and therefore better for articles (category:stubs should be empty.) Thanks. Picaroon9288|ta co 03:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy of 38 Acres

This was a somewhat inappropriate tagging. First of all, WP:CSD says that for cases where the assertion of importance is disputed, AfD should be used. Obviously, that is going on here, as there's an AfD debate, and the prod was contested. Secondly, read my comment in the debate: this is not a speedy candidate, and never was. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Non-criteria, specifically "non-notable subjects with their importance asserted. It's almost never appropriate to tag an article for speedy deletion during an AfD debate, though: possible exceptions are if it's discovered the article was written by a banned user, or was a near-exact repost of a previously AfD'd article. Mango juice^talk 16:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, it's a subtle point; not even all the admins understand it. Sometimes, articles that DO meet the speedy deletion criteria make it to AfD; in such cases, they can bee speedy deleted, but it really shouldn't happen when it's under A7. :) Anyway, I just try to inform as many people as possible.

Purposed deletions

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the following articles: Mohawk Airlines Flight 411, Federal Express Flight 597, Mohawk Airlines Flight 405, 1963 Rochester air crash, FedEx Flight 7145, FedEx Flight 647, FedEx Flight 597, Airwork Flight 23, and Runway incursion between US Airways flight 1170 and Aer Lingus flight 132; 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). If you disagree, discuss the issues raised at the article(s)’ talk page. 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. – Zntrip 21:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On 13 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mohawk Airlines Flight 40, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

link to Rolls Royce

Hello, when you want to link to the article about a Rolls-Royce, please do not link to Rolls-Royce, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Rolls-Royce plc by writing out [[Rolls-Royce plc|Rolls-Royce]]. Regards, Jeff3000 02:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

New articles

The new articles that you have name are greatly appreciated. One thing I would like to tell you is when you create a new article about an airplane crash with out a flight number please use this formant for the title: Year Airline Aircraft airplane crash. Calling it a disaster in the title could be considered not NPOV. Remember to check the spelling and grammar of new articles too.

If you wish to add the article to the list of notable accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft use the following format: *[[Month day]] – [[Airline]] [[link to article|Flight number]], a(n) [[aircraft]], crashes near [[city]], [[country (or state)]] while descending to land, killing all 24 people on board.

If there is no flight number replace: [[Airline]] [[link to article|Flight number]], a(n) [[aircraft]], crashes with a(n) [[Airline]] [[aircraft]], [[link to article|crashes]].

Thank you for all your edits and I look forward to more of your articles. – Zntrip 16:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

May 14

Spare me the potted lecture. Every aircraft accident is not notable per se and neither is every concert. The date pages do not have room for everything, so judgements must be made, however much of a hobby you've made of a particular subject. Pretending as if you have some sort of authority that trumps others' judgement is also off-putting, so stow the smug attitude while you're at it. --CalendarWatcher 16:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:N1809E 3 years before crash.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:N1809E 3 years before crash.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.

Vandalism

I don't appreciate your vandalism of a work-in-progress. You marked a page {{db-nonsense}} within two minutes after I had created it, obviously not understanding what you were looking at, and not waiting to see if anything was to follow. —Quicksilver^{T @} 23:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that I told this user that if he was working on a page, he should put an inuse tag on it, and that s/he had at least 5-10 minutes after I said so to do so, but he did not bother, and the page I tagged was subsequently deleted, as tagged. - Blood red sandman 11:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

This is a page that needs a lot of work (Turkish Airlines Flight 1476). Seeing how you edit aviation related articles, I thought you might like to take a look at it. – Zntrip 05:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

It’s absolutely fine, you can edit the article at any time. – Zntrip 15:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Danny Phantom discussion

Hello. You recently participated in a discussion on the possible deletion or merger of some Danny Phantom characters. While all the articles were kept, I noted that many of those commenting on the debate suggested merging some characters into a main list. Seeing this, I've compiled a list of some of the minor characters who may not need their own article, and would like the opinions of those who weighed in originally. You can participate in the discussion here. Ral315 (talk) 18:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe the the article Exxon Valdez belongs in the category "shipwrecks". A shipwreck is a wreck or derelict that has been abandoned. When the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef was an accidental grounding. The Exxon Valdez was removed from the reef, repaired and put back into service. Even if you are using shipwreck as a verb an accidental grounding in which the ship is re-floated and repaired is still not a shipwreck. KAM 12:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Take a look now. The basic problem I could see was your backreferences. You had something like <ref name="BBC> which is effectively an unclosed tag, so you needed <ref name="BBC /> (This doesn't apply to the initial definition where the </ref> closes it) --pgk 14:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Milwaukee explosion

Interesting reaction re: my off-the-cuff Queen's Hotel reference. Personally I think such an article would probably get AFD'd almost instantly, but if it were supported, what the heck. Unfortunately under current Wikipedia rules like WP:CITE and WP:V I would be unable to write such an article given my very limited knowledge of the topic. (I only remember it because my Grade 5 teacher was a friend of one of the dead firemen, and a few years back the Saskatoon Fire Department erected a statue in their memory.) It might not hurt to put an article request at the Saskatoon article because there are a few bonafide historians involved in that article. Me, I couldn't do a good job based upon my limited knowledge of the topic. Thanks for the thought, anyway. Cheers! 23skidoo 22:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Formatting of AIV requests

Hi. I saw your edit summary to a post on WP:AIV. I have nothing to do with the bot you were complaining about, but just so you know, there is a specific reason for the bot requiring the reports to be in a particular format. The purpose of the new bot is to remove already-blocked users from the list. Up till now, when the list is long, the admins going through it have sometimes found themselves dealing with a bunch of reports on vandals whom other admins have found and blocked in the meantime. As you probably know, the bot removes already-blocked users from the list on WP:AIV, thus allowing the admins to focus their attention on users who haven't been blocked yet and hopefully reducing the lag-time for admins to respond to the reports.

The problem is, when the bot removed the information about a blocked vandal, it was leaving behind any subsequent comments made about that vandal, because it wasn't recognizing them as part of the report. Confusion resulted, because it looked like those comments related to another report that was still there. Therefore, now the bot removes everything it finds from the report it is deleting until the beginning of the next report, and that's why it's more important now that the reports be made in the format indicated.

As I said, I have nothing to do with the bot and you should certainly take any concerns to the bot's operator, User:HighInBC, but I hope those comments might be helpful. Regards, Newyorkbrad 00:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Adam Air crash article

Hey, thanks for your work on the Adam crash article. You've been doing a great job! (Caniago 10:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC))

Well I guess the search and recovery operation could drag on for several months, and the investigation for several years. The news frequency seems to be tailing off over time, so less work is required to keep it up to date. Once they finish the recovery operation we should clean up the article and try to get GA status for it, then wait for the conclusions of the investigation to be released. (Caniago 12:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC))

Another article for you: [1] Caniago 23:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Another good source of information to watch is the Adam Air discussion thread under here [2]. Seems to be pilots and other industry insiders discussing the situation (Caniago 23:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC))

Absolutely agree. I wonder how this is affecting their business; haven't heard much about whether passengers are abandoning them or not. It is often hard to dent the ruling elite in that country, no matter how corrupt or incompetent they are. (Caniago 23:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC))

Thanks for your continued work, BTW. :-) Caniago 23:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hard to know. I think the americans would be pushing for it given the American citizens on the plane, and the fact that boeing is an american company. There seems to be resistance from some indonesian politicians because of the further damage and embarrassment the truth of what happened could cause. (Caniago 04:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC))

The problem for the US is that its in Indonesian waters. The stories I've read suggest US is ready, but the Indonesian are dragging their feet. Here's a couple of interesting articles for you: [3], [4] (Caniago 14:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC))

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Riegelwood Tornado debris.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Riegelwood Tornado debris.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

1991 Hamlet chicken processing plant fire

Hi, I have replaced the tag you removed. Please be aware that it was not an inuse tag, as you said in your edit summary, but an underconstruction tag. As a result, WP:LOCK does not aply. The tag is correctly used, it warns users that major works are going on at the article over a long period of time, and to check back regularly if it is an article they are interested in, and be aware the article is far from complete. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 18:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

You are correct about the erroneous edit summary on my part. But as for the tags, themselves: all articles, including those featured on the main page, are under construction. This is the very premise of a wiki. The under construction template is for articles that are in such a state of incomplete editing that they could be misinterpreted as being nonsense. These short-lived templates are designed to give you time to complete your in-process edits without having to contend with db-nonsense and prod-csd(A1/A3) tagging by other editors. It is NOT intended to convey anything to the reader-only page visitor, and should not be used to say "I have big long-term plans for this article, come back later and see my work". Jerry lavoie 20:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I see where your coming from there - I guess neither the template nor myself have been as clear as we could. I wouldn't go quite that far in terms of how unwritten the article is, though. For example, in the article in question, there are several bits that I know to be either incomplete, out of date, or simply quite possibly plain wrong, in spite of their soutces to back them up. This is because the article is half built, and undergoing major works. Therefore, the tag is apropriate. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 21:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough... I deleted hundreds of them, so there's bound to be a few that should have stayed for reasons such as you mention. Jerry lavoie 21:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Mohawk Airlines Flt 40 by Blood Red Sandman

I'm new to Wikipedia and have used it in the past mainly as a link from " chordie.com " on articles on rock musicians, etc. The above art. written by [I believe ] you, has me amazed. I am an airline buff. More imporantly though,I am the last person to touch that Flt 40 BAC 111 that day. I was the ops agent[ wgt/bal/ fuel/tail trim/ dispatch rep] for Mohawk that flt and spent Capt. Bullocks last minutes on this earth with him in my ops office as he came back to the ramp for more fuel[ to be topped off for poss. inclement wx in D.C.] and alter the flt manifest papers. I was 20 y.o. at the time.I was also he 1st Mohawk employee to reach the crash site.I saluted him off of he ramp.He let the 1s officer, Troy Rudsill perform the take off, he took over after talling Troy to "watch your altitude ", then, "what have I done to that tailplane surface ?"

My e-mail add is: bluebison64@yahoo.com There were many interesting events immediately preceeding this horrible event,as well as in its aftermath.When I talked to my parents in ALB the next day, they told me that the FBI had been at the next door neighbors house asking about me already. I'm also intimately familiar with the subsequent series of Mohawks tragedies [including Bob Peaches suicude]. My name is Gary Miano, and if this reaches the correct source, I would like to know how you've researched your articles. I've yet to read the others bit will....Tks, G.M. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.247.22.180 (talk) 04:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

A class assessment

On behalf of the project, I have to say sorry to you that your expectation from the project is somewhat low. We are only 29 members and only 5 members that are highly active. That's why A-class assessment does not work in the project, not like MILHIST. Looking to article, it has a high chance to get GA. WP:WIAGA does not limit itself for current event, but one of the criteria is stability of the article. I believe the event has been somewhat stabilized. Although it's still under investigation, but the volume of editing in the article itself is almost none at the moment. So, how about nominating it to GA rather than expecting non-active A-class project? — Indon (reply) — 17:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

IRC on Work via WikiProjects

Hi, would you be willing to participate in an IRC meeting, to plan out where we should go with WP:WVWP? (If you need help getting set up for IRC, it's very easy). I'm about finished with work on Version 0.5, and we have a couple of other people interested in working on WVWP. I'd like us to get a consensus on what we're going to do, and how we should do it.

By the way, I took a look at 1991 Hamlet chicken processing plant fire. The content looks good, but I think the English needs a good copyedit (I did the lead section myself). I was reminded of 1986 when I turned up for work at a chemical plant to find 30 fire trucks unable to put out a huge explosion/fire that had just killed one colleague and knocked two unconscious. Bad memories.... Let me know about the IRC. Regards, Walkerma 04:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

cheeky ;)

LOL, well obviously there are stand out exceptions. My opinion is that such things should start in the parent article and then be split off to a sub article only if they find a life of their own or for reasons of size. It seems that I'm becoming somewhat of a mergist in my "old age" (3+ years editing WP lol). What I'm trying to curb is the huge tide of stubs being created for every event that someone reads in the news media and then being left as stubs when people lose interest. *mantra* Wikpedia is not a newspaper. */mantra* ITN probably isn't helping this situation as some editors clamour for front page attention, maybe. --Monotonehell 16:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hamlet chicken processing plant fire

Hi Blood Red Sandman; thanks for your message on my talk page. The article was a pleasure to record; comprehensive, not too long, easy to understand and interesting. You may wonder whether I had any specific reasons for choosing it to record as a spoken article ... nothing really, other than its status as a and because it was a disaster-related article. I am very interested in fire-related and other disasters, especially post-WWII, although in general I am only aware of basic details rather than having enough knowledge to contribute heavily to the articles on them; this seems to be one of the only fire-/disaster-related FAs at the moment, and it was one I was not familiar with (whereas I know quite a lot about, for example, Cocoanut Grove, the Supper Club, Iroquois Theatre and the various fires in the UK. So I was learning some interesting info as well! I record articles regularly, so I'll look out for more disaster-related "possibilities" for the future.

I don't think I mentioned it before, but there's a companion article, Gameel Al-Batouti that I've been expanding at the same time...two for the price of one! Anyway, when I dive back in tomorrow, I plan on continuing to cull through the couple hundred pages of NTSB reports, so if you keep going in your direction, and I keep going that way, we should get a lot done without stepping on each others' toes. Other than the 2 Cairo Times articles, I haven't come across too much on the Egyptian gov't official reactions, so you might want to keep an eye out for sources on that.

Perugia

How's going on the referencing at Perugia? Any suggestions? Yours faithfully,--Grifomaniacs 20:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

That's time to go bed also for me, as I had today an exhausting excursion to Monte Vettore, in Italy. You could see one picture of my journey here.--Grifomaniacs 21:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, it was a privilege to receive that Barnstar from you! In these days I'll conclude the referencing work. Then I shall ask you for eventually unsourced statements. Cheers, --Grifomaniacs 14:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to alert you to the problems with using SHA-1. It is possible to crack it, but improbable. I went through the list and wasn't checking how high profile you were, just posting the message if it said SHA-1. You are very welcome. - Hairchrm 19:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

On 29 May, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Qinghe Special Steel Corporation disaster, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Proposed deletion of SNP MPs and current Scottish MPs cats

Could you have a look at this CFD nomination. It has been up for a week, and only 2 people have commented on it (amazingly). Could you please consider the discussion and contribute, because it would be a bit pathetic if this CFD were closed with almost zero comment. --Mais oui! 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Leina Ogihara

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Leina Ogihara, by Javit, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Leina Ogihara seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Leina Ogihara, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Leina Ogihara itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Adam Air crash

Did you ever get a chance to go back and look at Wikipedia:Peer review/Adam Air Flight 574/archive1? Also, I don't know if you follow wikipolitics, but there has recently (over the past year) been a hardening of the stance on newsy articles that seem important at the time, and receive widespread news coverage, but then are rarely heard of again. The current furore is mostly over people, and living people at that, but it could get extended to minor crashes and disasters in the future. Most of the articles should be safe as long as they show some notability with regard to advances in safety legislation and the like, or (sadly) are particularly notable for large numbers of people dying. For example, Adam Air Flight 574 should be fine (obviously not a 'minor' crash), but 2007 Paramount Airlines helicopter crash might be more problematic. Anyway, have a look at WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOT#NEWS if you weren't aware of them already. Carcharoth 21:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't keep a close eye on wikipolitics (You make that word up? It's rather fitting, I can see it catching on.), but I had noticed these new developments, as I look at that sort of thing from time to time. I will re-check the pages you have described (remember reading them long ago, but I daresay they're much changed now). Don't worry about 2007 Paramount Airlines helicopter crash, over at the new Aviation accident task force we are working on notability guidlines on the talk page, and the crash will certainly be safe under them, and with enough aviation-type people about to look after it in any AfD, too. Other kinds of minor disaster could be in more serious trouble in the future, though. As for the Adam Air peer review, I was rudely interupted by life around that time, although I'm about ready to take the template and message down now, if that's not tempting fate. I still intend to work through the comments that did turn up there, and then maybe send back to peer review depending on how it's looking then - otherwise on to FAC; I would love to see it featured. By the way, since last we spoke B-52 aircraft crash at Fairchild Air Force Base became our first featured article on an air crash! Still, flight 574, if featured, would still be our first commercial air crash article to attain that level. Be sure to look out for the other crash on TFA, it's scheduled to be on soon! Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 18:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow. That article is very good. The picture of the aircraft about to impact the ground is chilling. Pity there is not picture of Holland - he sounds like a right Top Gun nut. The picture caption could point out that an ejection can be seen in progress, but maybe that would distract from the initial impact (!) of the photo. Carcharoth 09:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Ooops, my bad

It would appear that I accidentally deleted the WikiProject Scotland tag from Talk:HMAS Australia (1927). Please accept my apologies for this mistake. --Kralizec! (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Copy edit?

Hey there...I took a bit of a break from aviation articles and admin tasks and wrote an article on a rather interesting shipwreck, the SS Suevic. If you have a mind to, it could probably stand a copy edit. I plan on letting it sit for a month or so to garner "stability" then put in for GA. AKRadecki^Speaketh 23:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Air South Charter

Hi, I think in this edit you removed the wrong tag. You removed the "unreferenced" tag with the comment "South Australia's largest charter airline is clearly notable". As your comment doesn't match your edit I have reverted it. There are still no references on the article (although there is one external link - I dont see them as being a reliable source for comments such as "largest charter airline from SA"). You think they are notable: but I don't think that SA is that large a sample area for determining the notability of air charter companies. I think you are confusing WP:Local with WP:notability. Please show how the company meets WP:N before you remove the notability tag, and include reliable references before removing the unreferenced tag. Ga rr ie 06:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Oops. How embarrasing. But yeah, you got what I was trying to do (pretty obviuos, right?). I was going by the standard currently aplied that seems to be that just about any airline is notable, making biggest in SA more notable than many others. I will, however, go to WikiProject Aviation and ask the 'experts' for their advice on what constitutes a notable airline, they'll have a clearer idea. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 11:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, WikiProject Airlines is probably going to be able to help you more. --Rlandmann 23:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Time for archiving?

Hi again. I just noticed how long your talk page is. Have you considered archiving?Ga rr ie 06:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I do keep meaning to archive, but forgetting or not finding the time. I should maybe get one of those bots hooked up to do it for me ;-). Anyway, it won't be happening for a little while yet, in a couple of days I'm off on holiday for three weeks, and until then most spare time will be preparing for that.

2007 French Alps coach crash

After re-reading Wikipedia:Notability, I have come to the conclusion that I could still not construe an argument in favor of this article's inclusion, and have re-nominated it for deletion. I am sorry if the work you put into it must be lost, but there are plenty of more notable events to stub in List of road accidents (actually, if you could look into 2003 Merapoh bus tragedy, for which I couldn't find sources, I would be grateful), and this one just doesn't cut it.

A Requiem for Homo Sapiens

Hello, you placed an AfD tag on A Requiem for Homo Sapiens several days ago, but its link was to the discussion for Neverness, and you didn't follow up with the subsequent steps. I have therefore reverted it. I'd have asked you what your intent was and let you fix it, but you're on vacation. Tualha (Talk) 00:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, disregard the above, I realized what you were doing and un-reverted. P.S.: 91 kb, time to archive some of this, hmm? We don't all have broadband out here :) Tualha (Talk) 00:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

New editor for the Air Crash Task Force??

Look who's editing air crash articles!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Balad crash recorders.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Balad crash recorders.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Candidate for speedy deletion: Clayton Jacobsen II

A tag has been placed on Clayton Jacobsen II, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

1. The one sentence lede asserting notability "He is credited with the invention of both of the main types of personal watercraft" is unreferenced

2. The second (and only other) paragraph disputes this claim of notability as the inventor of both of the main types of personal watercraft: "However, the November 1954 issue of Popular Science identifies Dick McGinley and Alan Rosendahl as the inventors of "motorized surfboards", the predecessor of the modern jet ski"

3. The original contributing editor has not returned for nearly a year (to either add detail or citations) and the only other editors have just placed templates rather than made substantive edits.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. . Please forgive my impertinence if my reasoning is defective. ...Gaimhreadhan • 15:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
