Regarding your edit to the article, by changing [[Football (soccer)|Football]] to [[Football|Football]] you changed the destination of that link from Football (soccer) which is an article about "normal" football, to Football which is a "disambiguation" page, which provides links to the various sports called "Football" (have a look at both pages).

My mistake, I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I was editing something else and may have deleted that part by accident. -- User:Rjairam
- No problem - I just wasn't sure if you realised (it's the kind of thing I might have done my first week here, and I didn't realise when it posted the message that it wasn't your first day here. Guettarda 13:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Could you help me with something? The section heading "Holidays" in the article Trinidad and Tobago is under "sports". How do I get it into its own heading? Rjairam
- Fixed. It has to do with the way the headers area set up - the more = signs, the lower the level of the header. For example:
=Header1=
==Header 2==
===Header 3===
====Header 4====
=====Header 5=====
produces
- Thank you! User:Rjairam
Header1
[edit]Header 2
[edit]Header 3

[edit]Header 5
[edit]Mostly articles use Header 2 and Header 3. Hope this helps. Guettarda 14:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for putting up the comparison photo of the Y600 and a modern set - pictures speak thousands of words (even if there's no real comparison between the two). Eddie.willers 03:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome. I have a few more T/O's that I've acquired. When things quiet down here I'll take some photos and probably add them to a model listing. By the way that set was a gift from my wife, and putting up the pic in wikipedia was my way of saying thanks to her. :) The comparison was mainly one of size, in that radios have gotten so small now compared to how they were years ago. However, I liked the older, larger radios. They sound better. But that's just me.Rjairam 13:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Fyzo
[edit]So what part are you from? Guettarda 14:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm from Roots Ave. in Fyzabad. My dad teaches Social Studies at Fyzabad Composite. My uncle is (the late) Hanuman Lalla who owned H. Lalla Hardware in Delhi Road. Any of these ring a bell?Rjairam 18:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I know the hardware. I have really good friends in Ramatally Park - used to lime by them or down Forest Reserve a lot. I could say a lot more, but I don't want to say too much here - it's too public, and since Wikipedia gets mirrored by so many sites this page will probably become the top hit for "Ramatally Park" in a week, if you don't erase this comment ;) Feel free to email me though (but you'd have to enable an email address to do so). Guettarda 19:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Okay I added an email. WHen I finish writing this article I'll send you an email.Ryan 19:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Use of templates in Amateur radio licensing
[edit]I'm concerned about the use of the large citation templates in the middle of the article; my experience has been they make it very difficult to maintain the text. I like the idea of using them, and I'm ok with the templates if we could place them in their own section and use small reference tags in the article. How do you feel about finding another way to perform the citations? - Davandron | Talk 01:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm in favor of simplicity myself. Let's discuss and come to a consensus on the article's discussion page. I'm all for consistency. Ryan 00:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
J-pole antenna
[edit]I'll be working on J-pole antenna intermittently over the next day or so, trying to improve its quality. You seemed to have an interest in that in the past, I'd appreciate proof reading, no matter when. :) --ssd 18:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I'll look at it. -- Ryan 16:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ttarslogo-colour.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Ttarslogo-colour.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Radio Society
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Radio Society. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Radio Society. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, Rairam. If you are still located in Trinidad and Tobago, perhaps you might be able to find local sources for information in the article. For example, the article, from the society web site, claims that an amateur broadcast sports reports, and then his equipment was confiscated, and there was an uproar over this. Are there any documents from the time, something other than memories of club members and unpublished club documents, that might be sources? A newspaper would ordinarily be a source. Any newspaper clippings that someone kept? Are there newspaper archives in a library? Any mention of these events in ham magazines of the time or later, something that clearly wasn't just copied from TTARS information? Etc. It would help. --Abd (talk) 00:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, I am no longer in the country (I emigrated to the US about 10 years ago) but I can ask my friends and relatives if they can locate any old newspaper articles. Ryan (talk) 20:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
