TWA 800 edit

Good work. --Guinnog 06:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: TWA flight 800 edit

Can I get one of your spelling checks on this article? Much appreciated! Lipsticked Pig 19:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Happy to help out - I corrected what I found. Incidentally, I don't do anything too special when I'm typo fixing - I use WP:AWB for mass fixes when I'm going for speed (like trying to correct all instances of a single word). For this page I just copy and pasted the text into MS Word and let Microsoft's spell checker tell me what needed to be fixed. --Bachrach44 20:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article was placed in the correct category (Category:Unassessed Aviation accident articles), but the category wasn't created yet, I'll do that now. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 01:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Flight 990 edit

While you were requesting my input... I was already giving it on the article page! See you there for more in-depth discusion on it. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 23:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

LOL... Also bear in mind I'm Brittish, it's one AM here (I'm a bit of a midnight mover, so after playing some metal on YouTube, it was last check of watchlist time before bed - so not as sad as it sounds!) Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 23:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

News team AfDs edit

You might want to change your comment because it was the article nominator User:Rollosmokes that reverted the main articles so that they duplicate the new ones. Personally I don't think the new articles stand alone, but I'm being fair :) EliminatorJR Talk 22:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rfa edit

Just dropping by to say "thank you" for supporting me in my recent my RfA. I passed the vote, and am now an admin. It will take me some getting used to with the new tools, but I thank you again for the trust. Have a good one, and, as always, happy editing! Jmlk17 05:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

July 2007 edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move from 2007 San Francisco Airport runway incursion. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself using the move link at the top of the page, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi Lipsticked Pig (great name!) Good job catching and fixing that quickly. I redirected 2007 San Francisco Airport runway incursion, where you first moved the article, to the new article name. Cheers, Flyguy649 talk contribs 06:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

TWA FL#800 edit

AfD nomination of TWA Flight 800 alternative theories edit

An article that you have been involved in editing, TWA Flight 800 alternative theories, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TWA Flight 800 alternative theories. Thank you. I know you created this page yesterday, but I'm nominating it for deletion. I fear it is giving the conspiracy advocates a soapbox. Fighting for Justice 01:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pre-Meiji Period: Use of Japanese era name in identifying disastrous events edit

Would you consider making a contribution to an exchange of views at either of the following:

As you know, Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management came up with entirely reasonable guidelines for naming articles about earthquakes, fires, typhoons, etc. However, the <<year>><<place> <<event>> format leaves no opportunity for conventional nengō which have been used in Japan since the eighth century (701-1945) -- as in "the Great Fire of Meireki" (1657) or for "the Hōei eruption of Mount Fuji" (1707).

In a purely intellectual sense, I do look forward to discovering how this exchange of views will develop; but I also have an ulterior motive. I hope to learn something about how better to argue in favor of a non-standard exception to conventional, consensus-driven, and ordinarily helpful wiki-standards such as this one. In my view, there does need to be some modest variation in the conventional paradigms for historical terms which have evolved in non-Western cultures -- no less in Wikipedia than elsewhere. I'm persuaded that, at least in the context of Japanese history before the reign of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), some non-standard variations seem essential; but I'm not sure how best to present my reasoning to those who don't already agree with me. I know these first steps are inevitably awkward; but there you have it.

The newly-created 1703 Genroku earthquake article pushed just the right buttons for me. Obviously, these are questions that I'd been pondering for some time; and this became a convenient opportunity to move forward in a process of building a new kind of evolving consensus. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 18:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

An exciting opportunity to get involved! edit

 

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 23:01, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

TWA Flight 800 edit

You're welcome :-) The latter. I follow the MOS on things like variety of English--US, UK, or whatever should suit the topic of the article or the convention previously used in the article, but most importantly should be consistent--but that's basically common sense, and basically I just fix what I see and make things a clearer if I can see a way to do so.

ELs edit

I am reviewing your EL edits to TWA Flight 800

  • Removing NTSB links - I am immediately restoring those. Lipstick, no matter how many times that document is linked to as a source, it must be in the External links section at all costs. The investigation reports are so important to the article that they must be prominent in the external links section.
  • Also any press releases released by the airline must be in the external links section. That one document that you called "not notable" is the only thing written by TWA that was archived on web.archive.org, so it will be kept.
  • I am reviewing the Navy and FBI links. When I checked them, they worked. I will look over them and post results to this talk page. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:ATC Stinger Bee 507.ogg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:ATC Stinger Bee 507.ogg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Orphaned composite picture.
