I think the references that you added were very good and are sufficient for explaining the use of the term in Australia and Canada. I would recommend adding inline citations for the first three sentences and the last sentence.
Would it be OK if I clean up the English? Some of the sentences are written awkwardly. Dr. Submillimeter 08:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Airport codes template
[edit]Please see my comments at Template talk:Airport codes. Since my change will affect the Canadian airport articles you edited earlier this morning (Acme Airport through Drayton Valley Industrial Airport), I'll update those. I just wanted to let you know of the change before you continued your updates. If there is a more appropriate abbreviation for the Canadian location identifiers, let me know (perhaps we can make the 4th parameter specific to Canadian airports, since I think most other countries just use the ICAO code). I can also update {{Infobox Airport}} to support a new parameter for the Canadian location identifiers. -- Zyxw 14:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- I like your change of "National LID" to "TC LID" - it is more accurate and looks better in the airport articles. On a related matter, please see my comments at Talk: Norwood Memorial Airport #No IATA or ICAO code and User talk: Dpm64 #Talk:List of airports by ICAO code: C. -- Zyxw 02:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Private review request
[edit]For the last few weeks I've been building an airport web site as a side project. Since you put so much work into the Wikipedia airport articles, I'd be very interested in your feedback. The site is OurAirports, and here's a Sample link showing the airports around the Golden Horseshoe.
If you want to delete this message after reading it, please go ahead, because it's not of general interest to the Wikipedia community. If you have any feedback, you can send me private e-mail through GMail using the address david.megginson, or leave a note on my Wikipedia talk page. Thanks. David 18:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Or you can just wait if you would like. I just think you would like to save yourself the hassle of dealing with them all of the time. TTN 22:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

{{Canadian Airports}} and {{ List of airports in Canada}}
[edit]Indeed, {{Canadian Airports}} is the one more used. {{ List of airports in Canada}} is more expansive, and covers the content of {{Canadian Airports}}. Some articles use them both. Maybe one of them could be merged into the other (I left proposals on the template talk pages, but got no reply). Cheers. --Qyd 04:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Dubai Airport
[edit]I was looking through the History of the DXB article and i noticed 213.42.2.24, TB115, and 195.229.241.180 are doing most if not all the vandalism in the article and bringing back the copied information to the article. The best thing to do is to lock the article to stop the consistent vandalism.--45HG23 13:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Canadian airport article updates
[edit]In response to your comment: this edit only done because in the prior edit I added the IATA code but forgot to update the template. I have noticed that you are updating all the Canadian airports via AWB, so I've only edited those articles for other reasons (at the moment that is primarily related to adding or correcting IATA codes). And in answer to your question: I'm familiar with regex but by no means an expert. I'm registered to use AWB and have experimented with it, but unfortunately I do a lot of my editing from a computer where I can't install AWB. -- Zyxw 01:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Nunavut articles
[edit]The prod on Simon Okpatauyak is fine — while there is an informal precedent in favour of mayors having articles, it's not a binding policy, and WP:AFDP explicitly spells out that a mayor's article needs to say more than just "So-and-so is the mayor of X". If the article could be expanded with good sources on reasonably important things he did as mayor, then it would be potentially keepable, but it looks like his name gets a grand total of 20 Google hits, of which the only media sources are the one provided there and another CBC news article about a curfew siren. Almost all of the other 18 hits are mere mentions of his name which aren't useful as sources. Which doesn't bode well as notability goes, needless to say. The way the precedent is currently applied, mayors of cities generally survive while mayors of small towns with only two or three thousand people tend not to.
Re: Paul Okalik, I think the article probably should discuss the controversy — if it had all blown over in one day, then it probably wouldn't be worth including, but given all the followup it looks like too much crap has hit the proverbial fan. I don't think we can ignore something that leads an MLA to call for his resignation (though I suspect it's also worth noting that the very same MLA was also Okalik's sole challenger for the premiership in 2004...) Write it neutrally and cite the articles, obviously, but yeah, it should go in. Bearcat 04:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I think I'm now confused, since I just noticed the same user posted stuff earlier on the 6th. What I don't understand is why the recent re-edits are full of mistakes (e.g. "Apparences trompeses" should be "Apparence trompeuses", since this user is posting in French). And the fact that I don't know this book/reference he or she posted doesn't help. However, judging by the use of French, this user must have also posted on the Wikipédia français... It seems all of this (IP) user's edits have been reverted there, so it must be a clue. - Io Katai 18:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Vancouver Harbour Water Aerodrome & Coal Harbour Water Aerodrome
[edit]I wasn't sure about the Great Circle Mapper reference... it is one of the few sites that does a decent job of cross-referencing ICAO and IATA codes, but it's not 100% accurate, so I try to find a backup reference. In this case, that was seeing CAQ3 in List of Canadian airports by location indicator: CA. What I missed was the fact that Coal Harbour Water Aerodrome is not the same location as Vancouver Coal Harbour Seaplane Base (a.k.a. Vancouver Harbour Water Aerodrome). Thanks for picking up on that and making the correction. -- Zyxw 07:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Plan to improve Somalia articles
[edit]Hi CambridgeBayWeather
I (running the Somalia portal of the German language Wikipedia) am planning to improve the Somalia articles of the English language Wikipedia. The aim is to largely eradicate unsourced/POV statements (especially in articles about Somali clans...), to improve the quality and reliability of the articles – and, if possible, make good or featured articles.
I'd like to ask you if you are interested to help me do this. (I'm not very familiar with the rules of the English Wikipedia, which are, in some ways, different from those of the German one. For example, I cannot understand why the Somalia article is not definitely semi-protected. In the German Wikipedia, the level of vandalism in this article would certainly justify a such protection.) Regards, Béka 15:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- For example, where can I make a list of all Somalia-related articles in the English Wikipedia, like this? I think the first task for the improvement plan would certainly be to list all the articles, to have an overview and the possibility to watch them easily through the "Related changes". But where is the right place for this in the English Wikipedia? Portal:Somalia/All articles? Or a WikiProject and WikiProject:Somalia/All articles? Regards, Béka 21:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Jeff Stork
[edit]any article with a relatively ambiguous name of a person (Jeff Stork) SHOULD have a disambiguation. Either the article should be titled as I did (Jeff Stork (Volleyball)) or even his full name, "Jeffery Malcom Stork) in order to avoid ambiguation in the first place. My name is also Jeff Stork and that article is NOT about me, thus is does need either a re-title or a disambiguation. e is not the only Jeff Stork in the pond.
Jeff Stork
If i every find my name on this site again, wikipedia will regret stalking me. Their site might accidentaly crash.
Agwin
[edit]Nooooooooooooooooooooooo Or retitle the page to not be ambiguous (i.e. Jeffery Malcolm Stork), it would still show up in a wikipedia search.
Nunatsiaq News
[edit]An ethnic newspaper doesn't necessarily have to be written entirely or primarily in a third language; it just has to include content aimed at a particular ethnocultural group. There are other newspapers in the category that mix English and third language content, and at least one that's written only in English. Bearcat 22:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, actually, a radio category would be a good idea. I'll start that shortly.Duh. Actually there already is a radio category — it's just called "multicultural" instead of "ethnic". Bearcat 22:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've now started a television category. In the cases of radio and television, though, because broadcasting is such tightly regulated industry, where licensing categories are so tightly regimented by the CRTC, I'd only apply those to stations and cable channels that actually fall under multicultural or ethnic licenses rather than any station that happens to produce a third language program or two.

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, you've recently deleted this article because it was an expired prod. Was this article about the MIT professor/graphics designer/computer scientist? If so, this person can easily be established for notability, and I am willing to expand it. hateless 09:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Deleted external link
[edit]Hello,
I realized that probably on 17 Jul you deleted external link I added (as anonymous) to article about Cheltenham (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Cheltenham). I thought the website I added would be a useful source of in-depth information about the town. It doesn't contain any advertising throughout the website and has many links to non-commercial services in Cheltenham. As I could see that websites such as Allaboutcheltenham and SoGlos are listed in links, both of which are purposely commercial ventures run by the same people and have visible advertising at every section of their sites, I thought there shouldn't be a problem with adding the site I recommended. I refer to the thread where those who added SoGlos argue their case and as I can see they have won it. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Gloucestershire#External_Links I would be grateful if you could explain why you deleted the link and if there are any other reasons apart from those argued in that thread why the link should not be there I will be happy to withdraw it.
Thanks

Re: Non-North American airports
[edit]Hi, Im a bit confused with your message re the airport evelavtion in feet... Looking at [1], you removed | metric-elev = yes
I did look originally at trying to do it with AWB, but sorta realised, it may be just too fiddly.
I then set about writing a custom program for the migration... Which i will possibly change to an AWB plugin. However, this wont be fully automatic, it will have to be manually assisted...
It will do most of the basic sort of moving around, when its finished - it manages to pick off most of the data to begin with. Just a couple of bits that the regex's are struggling to pick up...
Im just wondering whether its worth carrying on...
Any opinions?

Just Curious
[edit]Hello
I am the user who placed the 'Zeitgeist movie' page up yesterday. I did not make the movie, or have any affiliation with it. I tried to be as objective as I could, seeing as the user before me had simply wrote 'a must see movie', and I understand how this is not Wikipedia worthy.
I explained, in a non-opinionated way, the exact basics of the movie. I wrote this article as I would see any other article on Wikipedia wrote. I have no desire to advertise the movie, I had nothing to do with it. I wouldn't make any money advertising it, or have any positive gain from it whatsoever.
I simply found it to be an interesting movie. I believe that it should be placed here on Wikipedia, amongst many other movie pages classified by you as 'information' instead of 'advertising'.
So please be so kind as to explain to me exactly what I have to do in order to not have the page deleted. You're the one who deleted it, so I'm sure you have this answer. It has just as much of a right to be here as the 'pretty woman' or 'titanic' page. I suppose I just need to get the presentation right.
If it has anything to do with how many internal links are within what I write, I'll internal link everything to make you happy. I will wait for your reply, and I will keep making this page until it fits Wikipedia criteria and cannot be deleted.
Thanks, Ali003
Thanks for removing the boot, Cambridge. It's late, I'm tired, and I'm finally going to hit the hay. I know that Coburn is going to be an expert for Lifetime's web site, is an expert for a "Seventeen" article next month, etc, and was in "Glamour". If you google him, you'll come up with all kinds of links. I originally had more links but I felt it was too much. For example, the link to a blog discussion felt like an endorsment when I proof read it. Have a good night - er- morning!

Ninan
[edit]If you are going to censor ninan from wikipedia you might remove all links to it.
Your deletion of architect Eduardo Souto de Moura's article revealed a total lack of sense and sensibility. If you have an Internet connection it would be very easy to find out information about Souto de Moura and realize he is a very notable architect. Sorry, but admins doing this kind of messy "work" in Wikipedia are not needed here. Miguelzinho 02:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

deletion of entry "Kenah"
[edit]You recently deleted an entry for "Kenah". We - the family - are very proud of our name as it is one of the oldest names in the world with link/references in the bible the Koran & the book of morman. It was is use more than 5000 years ago and is beleive to be the family that was originaly task with protecting the secrets of Atlantis. It was also the name of one of 4 ancient Egyptian gods "El Kenah" God of the East. I beleive the entry should be restored as its importance in history.
Please restore this entry so that we can continue to update information and links to other Viki entries. I see that you do have entries for Rich Kenah - is this just because he is an Olympian?
Geof.Kenah@gmail.com
- I've restored Kenah. Can I suggest that you register and try and find some references so that it doesn't get deleted again. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA
[edit]Do not post "to match the name of the nearby Amsterdam ArenA, home of AFC Ajax" on the article of Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA railway station. It's not real. You can not know why the name is changed. I know it, because i living in The Netherlands. Tahrim 18:23, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
East Midlands Airport
[edit]I didn't read you whole message it bored me. I changed the page because I provided a perfectly good references of a international airport autority of a later date than yours that doesn't state Nottingham. I know you love meddling with this page but having Nottingham is misleading even if you poxy page shows usage, it isn't used not to the vast majority of people. JimmyMac82 23:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- What you on about saying I didn't bother to reply, whats that above, Scotch mist? Yes now I am happy that Nottingham is no longer there. As I added a link for the ICOA or whatever it's called you had no real need or right to change back to the old reference. As that was of a British authority I think the international one is the one to be used. I remember when the name changed back you were determined to keep the Nottingham East Midlands name up there, God knows why, you were desperate but I'm sorry it's now wrong information and misleading. I think you were clutching at straws, you whole basis for leaving Nottingham up there was the some site you have looked for has it on. It smacks of the fact you were searching for a page that told you what you wanted, well anyone can do that on any subject. JimmyMac82 19:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Relations of Pittsburgh Monroe Airport to Harold W. Brown Memorial Airfield
[edit]I have just done the research and it appears that your inquiry about this subject is correct. Thank you for making a reference to this. It would be greatly appreciated if you can help me with my articles. I can help with yours too, if you like.
Overall answer to subject: Yes, they are the same thing! Nice job for your research! Warholio 23:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi CBW, The first deletion said it had a non-existent link. So I checked all links and recreated. It was only shortly after that, that I noticed your first message! So sorry for recreating copyright infringing material! The error/deletion message was not correct.
I have now reworded to avoid copyright infringement and re-created. Hope this is OK. Regards Dave
RE: RfA request
[edit]Thanks for letting me know about the request. I had problems creating the request due to having problems with the internet connection being dropped as I was switching pages to sort the request out.
RE: Anneliese van der Pol
[edit]Most English language references works, style guides (e.g. Chicago Manual of Style), and library cataloguing standards (e.g. of Congress Authorities, agree on sorting names with independent prefixes according to the native preferences (for almost all languages the lower-cased prefixes are ignored for sorting). So, if Annelies would still be a Dutch person she would be under "Pol, Anneliese". However, she turned American. This being the English wiki, I think it a good compromise that she's generally under "Van Der Pol" and for Dutch categories only under "Pol". Afasmit 22:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Cardiff International Airport
[edit]It is indeed strange that the runway is not mentioned on any airfield maps. However, it is still apparently in use by the flying school there, but to what extent I'm not sure. Its inclusion on the article page is justified by its physical presence at the airport, including markings. It's very confusing, yes, but I think since it's literally there it deserves a mention.--Dancraggs 00:37, Monday August 13 2007 (UTC)
Runway
[edit]Found some more information on the runway. Apparently it's normally no longer used, but was originally used as a visual runway for use during daylight only. Primarily used by General Aviation aircraft, and now normally only used as a taxiway but is available for use if required. What's your opinion on its inclusion in the article? It's still a physical runway, it's just not normally used now. If it's taken out of the infobox, I'll add some info on it in the article in the coming days.--Dancraggs 00:55, Monday August 13 2007 (UTC)

TC ASL - yup that would be me. I wrote columns for that publication for the last three or four years, but I am done now! - Ahunt 14:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- I was working on providing some cross reference between the Wikipedia pages on Canadian airports and the PTF pages. They provide different types of info, but are fairly complimentary. PTF was set up without using airport identifiers in the URL line, mostly because only about 1400 of the 5000 aerodromes in Canada have identifiers, but also because it would have meant that a new page couldn't have been started unless the person knew the identifier. It isn't ideal from a URL point of view but was the best solution given the constraints! - Ahunt 15:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Lise Simms
[edit]Hello CambridgeBayWeather, thanks for the message. I decided to block the IP because since, as you said, they never seem to respond to messages. The block seemed far more sensible than only reverting and warning them, for you said, they never respond to messages. I do agree with your decision to not semi-protect the pages; at least if we know what articles the person is editing, we won't have to worry about them going to somewhere else. As for the NNDB external links, thanks for telling me about that as well. Acalamari 15:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- If they keep rotating between those IPs, with any luck, they should realize that their IPs keep getting blocked, and each block will get longer. I think Yamla also blocked a couple a few days ago as well, so those two IPs will also receive longer blocks next time they are edited with. I'll just keep an eye out for the next time they edit. Thanks. Acalamari 16:20, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Zeitgeist movie spam
[edit]What other examples of movie spam have their been?
My reason for asking this is to get a good picture of how irritating spamming movies for publicity really is.
Other questions:
Does the amount of views contribute to the notability of an independent movie? If a radioshow had a talk about it, would that be sufficient?
What would you say the way to get a page for this movie would be?

Although the call sign is iffy for the reason you identified, I was able to confirm that the CRTC has licensed a tourist information station in Fredericton at 93.1 FM — [5]. I would have reflagged it for notability instead (low-power tourist info autoloops don't usually cut it on here), except that the licensee is Jack McGaw.

Page Deletion - Adastreia (Band)
[edit]Sir,
I see that my band's page has been Prop-deleted. May I ask as to why?
I've briefly skimmed the notability criteria in general and for music and apart from me making a few corrections to our Wiki entry recently it was created completely independant of the band - I had no idea that it existed until someone pointed it our last year! We've been featured in several online and paper magazine publications such as Terrorizer, Total Rock & Rock Sound for CD reviews and interviews, plus we did several dates around the UK with Edenbridge last year, does that not meet the criteria? Maybe if the sources were noted on the page?
If it's not possible to have our page undeleted could I please have a copy of it sent to me? We were rather proud that people had seen fit to raise us a Wikipage and I'd like to keep a copy of it. :]
I would sign in to my Wiki account but I'm at work and don't have my credentials to hand.

Bunko Kanazawa
[edit]Hi, CambridgeBayWeather. I notice you have been removing the "Overseas popularity" section of the Bunko Kanazawa article. I have been removing this section also. It always did look suspicious to me, but even assuming good faith, it was unsourced. Also, made an effort to find support for the claims in the section, but could not. The section was recently added back with two references. One was to an article in the "Daily Mail," which I could not find. The second is a reference to p.87 of the book Venus in Pink: An Illustrated Tribute to Japanese Pink Movies & Softcore Porn Starlets by Candice Black. As luck would have it, I own a copy of this book, and I can say with certainty that the citation is completely false. Except for two short introductions, the book is an entirely textless, unpaginated collection of stills from pink films of the 1960s and 1970s. Bunko Kanazawa is an AV idol who debuted in 1997, and, naturally, is not mentioned on p.87 or anywhere else in the book. Besides the constant unsourced additions of the section, this recent fraudulent sourcing of the section is enough to prove to me that the "good faith" assumption of this section has been worn out. This seems to be trolling/vandalism, and, I think, should be removed whenever it is added. Dekkappai 23:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It has been temporarily blocked before, lifted, and used to vandalize again. I just thought I'd let you know. I will keep monitoring it and let you know of anything, if you don't see it right away.

[edit]This directly follows from the definition of DAB page: "disambiguations are paths leading to the different article pages that could use essentially the same term as their title". Person's first name may be the title of an article about him only if he is commonly known by their first name only. This is the case, e.g, for kings and some other cases, e.g., when the first name is really unique, so that is is notable in itself. There was a discusion about this, but I don't remember where. Please ask in Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation. `'Míkka 17:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect problem
[edit]I am trying to create a disambiguation page for "G18". I'm nearly certain G18 refers to things other than the Glock-18 but since a redirect page has already been created directly linking G18 to the Glock 18 I can not search the rest of Wikipedia holdings for "G18". I tried to fix it by re-naming the page "G999" so I could search the rest of Wikipedia for G18 but it didn't work. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Frontier exploration
[edit]The work you did on the frontiers was good. Everyone needs an editor! I was a bit concerned that your edits didn't pay much attention to final layout. Put another way, it looked cramped and crowded and was more difficult to read not because of the edits, but because of its appearance. In any case, the final product has improved. Thanks. I'll go back into it and continue the story as time allows. Glad you put in the stuff on the SDC (We used to call it the SSDC -- single steel drilling caison-- for some reason.) I saw a magazine article about that just a week or so ago, and had intended to work it in. I either fixed or simply deleted the words you found confusing. Oops! forgot to sign it. 02:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
