Disambiguation link notification for January 4
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tucson International Airport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Phoenix International Airport (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Z, thanks for the work you did on this template to allow optional parameters and more generality. Very nice. Can you update the doc page to reflect what the template now allows, so that the articles that use it will more likely get maintained correctly? Dicklyon (talk) 17:59, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Done -- Zyxw (talk) 15:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

References using external link to Wikipedia article for United States Census Bureau?
[edit]Hello. Great work with adding missing 2010 census data. However, I was wondering why your bot is using the following external link in the references:
- Code:
|publisher={{URL|1=http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau|2=United States Census Bureau}}
- Result: United States Census Bureau
Since you are linking to a Wikipedia article, the usual format would be:
- Code:
|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]
- Result: United States Census Bureau
-- Zyxw (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the slow response started a new semester at college this week and was busy with that. I had never really contributed to Wikipedia before I started writing the code for those updates that I do, I had only did some typo fixes here and there and some updates to sports articles, by no means was I at all familiar with standards. So when I started doing this I just wanted to make my references look like the Rambot references used for the 2000 sections, problem was he used a template and I was using a normal reference. I just assumed you had to give the |publisher field a url so that was how I did it. Simply put I didn't know you could use a wiki link there at the time. I've continued on doing it this way for consistency sake, I've only seen it come across my watchlist a couple times with people changing it so it doesn't seem like it's that big of deal. Come May, if I'm not mistaken, the US Census Bureau will release the population estimates for July 1st 2012 and I'll be going back over all the pages I've edited to update the population estimate in the infobox. At this time I could change them all over to the wiki link it would be incredibly easy to automate along with the automatic population estimate updates. Jamo2008 (talk) 21:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Airport in Wisconsin
[edit]I notice that you created several articles about airports in Wisconsin over past several the years. Since you're more familiar with the resources available for airport articles, would you please create an airport page for the Town of Palmyra airport just outside of Palmyra, Wisconsin? I photographed the site while on a recent road trip. The images are found at Commons here. Please link to the Commons category.
There is an issue with the name of the article. I see the name reserved for the article is Palmyra Municipal Airport. Notice that the sign for the airport reads "Town of Palmyra Airport". Please be aware of the Political subdivisions of Wisconsin page which describes that the town of Palmyra is different than village of Palmyra. A town is not a municipality. A town is the rural land between villages and cities. So I think that the PDF from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is wrong, or at least it should be questioned. Royalbroil 14:03, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Done. Regardless of the town's municipal status, I provided several references supporting the name Palmyra Municipal Airport including the Federal Aviation Administration, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, newspaper articles written this year, and a history from a flying club based at the airport. I also mentioned the airport's other names and included your photo of the sign. -- Zyxw (talk) 16:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Great job, thank you! You did the right thing by selecting the name Palmyra Municipal Airport for the article. You did a great job of using the correct terminology for the town versus village. I had no idea that there was a fight going on for the land! I live several hours away and I don't thing that I was ever in Palmyra before. Royalbroil 01:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Zyxw, and thank you for your contributions!
An article you worked on Joshua Sanford Field, appears to be directly copied from http://www.airports-worldwide.com/usa/florida/deland_municipal_sidney_h_taylor_field_florida.htm. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.
It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Joshua Sanford Field if necessary. MadmanBot (talk) 09:34, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- I removed that bot-generated template from the article, since (1) the external link mentioned contains content copied from Wikipedia and (2) that copied content is for DeLand Municipal Airport in Florida, while the article I created is for an different airport in Wisconsin. Fourth time now that this bot has incorrectly flagged a new airport article as being copied from a Wikipedia article for a different airport that was replicated at airports-worldwide.com. -- Zyxw (talk) 09:45, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Removal of the entry in the IATA code list for USC
[edit]Hi, and thanks for your contribution. You recently removed the USC IATA code entry from the IATA code list: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=List_of_airports_by_IATA_code:_U&diff=next&oldid=557980105 . While you are right that USC does not reference Union County Airport, IATA actually references USC as an "off-line point" for Union, South Carolina (hence the IATA code). Note that the IATA's code search page does not provide information on non-airport-typed POR (points of reference): they provide information only for airport-typed POR; however, in their database, which they reserve for their paying subscribers, IATA reference any travel-related POR such as heliports, bus and railway stations, ferry and maritimes ports, as well as "off-line points". AFAIU, an "off-line point" is a POR which is not used by online reservation systems, but which is a convenient way to reference travel-related POR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denis.arnaud (talk • contribs) 08:45, 9 June 2013

Orphaned non-free media (File:Logo-armee-de-lair.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:Logo-armee-de-lair.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Werieth (talk) 00:03, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Nav Popups
[edit]Hi - I've looked over the various options for Nav Popups and I can't find one for what I'm looking for. Is there an option to add the edit summary to the Nav Popup when previewing a diff?--v/r - TP 19:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hello. I guess you wound up here since I was credited for a minor contribution made about eight years ago, back when User:Lupin maintained the JavaScript code at User:Lupin/popups.js. Anyway, I looked through Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups#Options and could not find an option to include the edit summary when previewing a diff. Personally, I've never found this to be an issue since I generally preview diffs from pages that already show the edit summary, such as watchlist and contribution pages by hovering over (diff) and history pages by hovering over (cur) or (prev). You might want to ask over at Wikipedia talk:Tools/Navigation popups. If you are familiar with JavaScript, you can view the current code at MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js and make edit requests at MediaWiki talk:Gadget-popups.js. -- Zyxw (talk) 23:19, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Start date and age
[edit]Hello! Unless I'm missing something, both {{Start date and age}} and {{Start date and years ago}} currently have merge banners telling editors not to use the template. Is there another template to use, or should one of the banners be altered to indicate the merge target? Thanks! --Tgeairn (talk) 03:24, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hi. I noticed the same thing a few days ago. According to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 July 31#Template:Start date and age, as of 8 August 2013, "the result of the discussion was merge or reverse merge, which ever makes the most sense." I think it makes more sense keep and use
{{Start date and age}}
for the following reasons:{{Start date and age}}
can handle dates with just a year & month (see National Foundation for Popular Culture) or year only (see Jerusalem Retreat Center).{{Start date and years ago}}
requires the year, month, and day to work correctly.{{Start date and age}}
can display the elapsed time in years, months (see Salamanca AC), or days.{{Start date and years ago}}
only displays the elapsed time in years.{{Start date and age}}
is transcluded on 7741 articles (and 9249 pages in all namespaces).{{Start date and years ago}}
is transcluded in 1897 articles (and 2079 pages in all namespaces).{{Start date and age}}
handles future dates, such as 30 June 2014 .{{Start date and years ago}}
displays the same date as 30 June 2014 .
- I recently updated
{{Start date and age}}
with an option to display the elapsed time within parentheses (see above), which is the same format used by the other template (minus the small font size). I also changed the{{Being deleted}}
banner to the redirect{{Being merged}}
, but that does not change the text displayed by the banner. I looked at{{Merge from}}
and{{Merge to}}
, which have more appropriate text, but the instructions say not to use it on a template or category. If you know of a better banner template to use, go for it. In the meantime, my suggestion would be to use{{Start date and age}}
in any articles you are updating or creating. - -- Zyxw (talk) 05:09, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your (very complete!) response. I agree with your reasoning that
{{Start date and age}}
is the best merge target, and I appreciate your updates to reproduce the functionality. Do you have a list of what remaining functionality is needed before the merge can be completed? - In the meantime, I will use
{{Start date and age}}
when needed. If I get a chance to look at what's left to merge, I'll do so as well. Cheers! --Tgeairn (talk) 04:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your (very complete!) response. I agree with your reasoning that

Hi Zyxw. I noticed that you moved Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon to Enterprise Municipal Airport (Oregon) with the edit summary "standard format for airport disambiguation is parentheses when state is not part of name". The policy at Wikipedia:Article_titles#Disambiguation, is to use a comma, and that is the guidance also given at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming (Airports). There are various reasons for this, one of which is that it is natural to write Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon in a sentence, but it isn't natural to write Enterprise Municipal Airport (Oregon), therefore editors have to write [[Enterprise Municipal Airport (Oregon)|Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon]] when linking to the article. It is also awkward and clumsy for readers to see brackets. I note that a number of other airport articles were also moved from Comma-separated to Parenthetical disambiguation. I am quite comfortable with doing those moves again, but thought I'd raise it with you first, in case you wanted to talk over it a bit more. SilkTork ✔Tea time 01:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hello and thanks for the heads up. Here are my comments:
- I disagree with your interpretation of Wikipedia:Article titles#Disambiguation in regards to the names of articles about airports. The natural disambiguation section states "If it exists, choose an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title." I do not agree that the airport in question is commonly called "Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon". In my experience researching and working on airport articles over the years, common names in the format "Airport Name, Location" are not the norm. An example where that would be the common name is airports in Norway, such as Førde Airport, Bringeland and Førde Airport, Øyrane.
- Wikipedia:Article titles#Disambiguation also contains a section on comma-separated disambiguation which states "if the disambiguating term is a higher-level administrative division, it is often separated using a comma instead of parentheses, as in Windsor, Berkshire (see Geographic names)." I interpret this to mean "Enterprise, Oregon" is appropriate because Oregon is a "higher-level administrative division" of the city of Enterprise. I do not agree that this section applies to airport names.
- There are currently over 600 airport articles disambiguated by location which use parentheses in the format "Airport Name (Location)". By my count, you moved 27 of those articles to use commas back in January. Another editor renamed two of your moves in April and I did the other 25 in June.
- The guidance you refer to at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming (Airports) was added by you in this edit, made immediately after you moved those airport articles. Reading over your addition there, I agree with "use WP:NATURAL disambiguation where possible" (see my previous examples of airports in Norway). However, I do not agree with "if not, use comma-separated disambiguation over parentheses, using a higher-level administrative division such as Jackson County Airport, North Carolina". I did not see any prior discussion about this at the associated talk page so, unless there was some discussion elsewhere, the statement you added was not a consensus of WikiProject Aviation.
- Your example of [[Enterprise Municipal Airport (Oregon)|Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon]] is not a common usage. Most links to airport names (excluding those from navigation boxes) occur in articles about places served by the airport, such as Enterprise, Oregon or List of airports in Oregon, which use [[Enterprise Municipal Airport (Oregon)|Enterprise Municipal Airport]]. Switching to comma-separated disambiguation would only change those links to [[Enterprise Municipal Airport, Oregon|Enterprise Municipal Airport]].
- If you still feel that airport articles disambiguated by location should use a comma rather than parentheses, I would request that you bring this to Wikipedia:Requested moves or another forum where others would have an opportunity to comment. If the consensus is to use a comma instead of parentheses, then ALL of those 600-plus articles should be moved. -- Zyxw (talk) 10:23, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Ha. I hadn't recalled it was me who had updated the style guide! OK, I'll start a requested move. SilkTork ✔Tea time 13:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jimmy Roy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page International Hockey League (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of ETUL
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on ETUL 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Drm310 (talk) 17:29, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- I was off Wikipedia for a bit and missed this one before it was deleted. I believe that ETUL was simply a redirect to RAF Laarbruch based on its ICAO code as listed in the article. We have many such redirects in Wikipedia, so I am not sure how that meets section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. However, if you felt that strongly about it, I won't recreate it. -- Zyxw (talk) 06:39, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Template:NWS-current has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. MilborneOne (talk) 22:58, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
