Snow gauge Image

Hello. My name is Lee. We spoke recently about your snow gauge image and I was hoping to arrange permission for use with you. I sent you an email from my work email address, but just wanted to check in since your page says that it might take a while to receive. Could you send me an email when you get a chance just so I know you received it? If it didn't get through, I am happy to resend. You may reply to the work email address I left, or to lee@leemichelsen.com. Thanks so much for your time and I look forward to your response.

Sweetfox.com deletion in Sept 2006

Hello,

It's been awhile. We where deleted because of not having enough impact. After month of working with the community and artists we would like to respectfully resubmit our article. We have been mentioned in several local magazines, the latest has can be found here: http://www.skorchmagazine.com/07-Feb/maghtm.asp?1=58&2=59 Thank you for your time.

Original Message: [edit] Sweetfox Please reand through Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion especially Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7, Wikipedia:Deletion policy and especially Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations). Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

No you don't have to be as big as ebay but you do have to have some sort of impact. Can you provide some sort of sources? An newspaper report or a online mention from a respected site (not somebodys blog) or something like that? CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Isfahan International Airport

Thanks for adding the infobox to Isfahan International Airport back in July. After MikeHunt35 subsequently shortened one runway length by ten feet (and that edit was questioned), I checked the details at the World Aero Data linked in the article, which confirmed the shorter length for both runways -- so it's possible someone had rounded 4,397 meters to an even 4,400 meters, overstating the length. The elevation was also slightly different. I've edited the infobox to use the World Aero Data figures, on the theory that no pilot will crash if the runway's longer than he expects, but even just ten feet shorter might be a problem. Since I don't know what source you used originally, may I ask you to doublecheck it, and possibly find a third source for additional support of one or the other set of figures? Please feel free to undo my changes and MikeHunt35's if it turns out your first source was right and World Aero Data was wrong. I won't edit-war with you; I'd just like to be sure we've got either the solidly determined figures or else the safer (more conservative) ones in the article. Thanks!

Re: Super Twins

Indeed, it must have been an accident. A user had removed the AfD, and so I attempted to restore it. Guess I messed it up somehow. Sorry! -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 22:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Jo-Beth Casey

But I thought if its removal wasn't justified in either the talk page or edit summary, or if no major edits took place, you could restore it. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions17:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand, but there are so many other pages similar to this one (Jo-Beth Casey), and, knowing that they are not notable for article creation, I found it more convenient to prod them instead of wasting time with an AfD discussion. But, like you said, I guess if it's removed, I can't repost it. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions22:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to categories I added

Hello. I reviewed some of my contributions from yesterday and I noticed that you removed some of the categories I placed. I've been working in the Arctic Ocean area, primarily categorizing and adding a few geographic details to articles (when they are missing some very obvious facts only). Most of the ones you removed were related to Baffin Island. I'm thinking that you might have some wisdom to share with me, and I'm open to your feedback about how I can categorize better. Anything you'd like to share with me? CRKingston 16:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to give me such specific feedback. I'm going to take some time and digest it all. And thanks for the pat on the back. I do loving working on WP and try to do really good work. CRKingston 00:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not restore prod tags to articles after they have been removed. If you look at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion especially the section called Conflicts you will see that the tag should not be restored no matter what. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of that. Since the person who removed it did not mention any disagreement about the tag being there whatsoever (he "corrected" the reason) i thought, wrong, that it would not be inappropriate. It won't happen again, thanks for the heads-up. - - 'twsx'talk'cont' 21:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thanks for protecting my edit. While new to WP, I like to clean up vandalism as well, and note that you seem to have a knack for finding it. How do you do that? As well, would I be correct in assuming that after a given amount of time, uncited info from the Nancy Reagan article should be deleted? I have already purged a Header in the talk section about Lawford's third-hand account of nancy davis' pre-Ronnie rep. Not a very reliable source, and keeping it in Talk allowed for the rumor to sink in peripherally. I don't like Nancy Reagan, and her husband and his policies even less, but everyone deserves a fair shake (except maybe for Karl Rove, and the Smurfs - god they creep me out).Arcayne 23:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ghost Online

Seriously, it doesn't say anything after reading the guidelines about Fan Sites, so I added them, most other MMORPG pages have them as well, is there really a problem with it? You call it advertising, but these websites all have much more information than the official site, and on top of this, they also serve as forums for those who play to engage in seeing as there is no official forum, for mGO atleast, which is the most popular version as it is english.

The global version should also be taken down as a link, seeing as it isn't out, or atleast something put there.

Unless you plan on adding all the information that these sites have readily available to Wikipedia, than I suggest it easier to simply leave the sites up. Pyrofyr 21:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Deletion of an Entry on a Writer ~ Ms. Mari Adkins

Dear CambridgeBay Weather, wiki user ~

Recently, I found out that you had deleted an entry in the Wikipedia, on a professional dark fiction writer, who is also a professional editor. Your reason for this, was:

# 1:31, 4 February 2007 CambridgeBayWeather (Talk | contribs) deleted "Mari Adkins" (Prod Article does not meet notability criteria. Author is primarily published by vanity presses and has not "received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work" as required by wikipedia for notability inclusion for authors.)

  1. 12:37, 31 May 2006 Brookie (Talk | contribs) deleted "Mari Adkins" (CSD A7 - hoax?)

Now, I am also a professional dark fiction writer, as well as a professional freelance editor, and I am a colleague and friend of Ms. Adkins. I assure you, not one of the publications Ms. Adkins has been published in has been a vanity press! All have been legitimate, paying small press publications. I can certainly put you in contact with the editors of said publications to prove this! Also, Aegri Somnia, the recent horror anthology Ms. Adkins appeared in with her story "Well of the Waters", has made the preliminary ballot for the Horror Writers Association Stoker Awards. Not a nomination as of yet, no, but it still shows she is, indeed, a respected professional.

Ms. Adkins also edits full time for Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest, which is a legitimate, small press, semi-pro paying magazine.

I would like to know what I, and my fellow colleagues of Ms. Adkins, must do to have her Wikipedia entry restored. Since she is most undoubtedly a Professional Author and Editor, not vanity published in the least, I believe she has every right to have a valid entry in Wikipedia. Thank you, and good day.

I look forward to your response on how I can restore Ms. Adkins Wikipedia entry.

Cordially~

RE: Vandalism of Ramnefjellsfossen waterfall page

Dear Sir,

Previously, on 14 April, 2006, you asked that I advise you if any Wiki subscriber had vandalised my entry on this page.

Someone from New Zealand (please refer to the changes on the page) has changed the ranking from third- to tenth-highest.

This is incorrect. Again, I refer you to the ranking for this waterfall, which is published in Russell Ash's 'The Top Ten of Everything', among others.

Kindly advise the New Zealand subscriber not to vandalise the entry.

I thought I'd lobby to get you back some sanity. Feel free to comment. --Petercorless 09:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What you say makes no sense at all, seriously.

10. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET

If you actually paid attention to the links I had sent, instead of just deleting them, you'd realize that they are there because they are fansites that have databases of information, not because they are discussion forums. Only 2 of those sites are really up to date, however I added the rest as they were there and removed by someone who was removing them simply to remove one, and didn't want to go through the hassle of just omitting one (I talked to him, that's the reason he gave).

There's nothing against fansites, however there is against discussion forums, GhostSource and Ghost-Land both have information, a lot more than the main websites, therefore I had posted those 2, the rest simply because they were posted before and most of them had information plenty.

If you think it to be spam fine, however it is posted for informational purposes, since there is a lack of it both here and elsewhere. I'm not too familiar with the Wikipedia syntax, and care not to be at the moment, so I'm not going to bother to list a whole bunch of information here, and it seems that you don't plan on it. So is there a problem with external links to fan sites? No. Infact, of you lookat MapleStory, there are links to many fansites that are simply forums, and just that, forums. However, informational databases are not allowed? What you say makes no sense at all, seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pyrofyr (talkcontribs) 15:51, 8 February 2007.

NL airports

Thank you very much for advising me, appreciate the personal note from you. Will they show up in any list, maybe an abandoned list of air strips or something similar? There are a few abandoned strips around the coast; some were built to accommodate construction such as Camp Boggy on the south coast of Newfoundland. --HJKeats 16:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

East Midlands Airport

As stated on the article talk page, the citation does not prove that the name is in general use or that it is an official name. All it does prove is that one organisation hasn't bothered to change it's naming yet. Did you know after the Airport changed from East Midland to Nottingham East Midland almost every European airport still listed it as Eas Midlands. Yet the article only used Nottingham East Midland during that time. Why? Because it is it's official name. Jimmmmmmmmm 23:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prod removals

Thanks for the reminder. I'm relatively new but will step back from these even tho' the prods have come off without any change to the article. No point in an edit war. Addere 00:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I readded the prod on Kirby Cundif. It was origionally removed by an unregistered user with nothing added to the discussion page. The article is autobiographical and appears to be nothing but a vanity page. I've done a bit of searching and can find little the subjects done to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. While I agree that once a prod's been legitimatly removed it shouldn't be readded, I belive the removal in this case was merely vandalism.--Lepeu1999 01:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of 'Jack Benny Audio History' -- to CambridgeBayWeather and CobaltBlueTony

Gentlemen...Thank you for your responses. The central issue is this: You are wildly inconsistent with your editorial standards. You both have looked at hundreds of Wikipedia pages, and you did not take down External Links that do not follow the editorial guidelines. However, when a new person comes along with External Links, you take them down immediately. Obviously, your standard is not 'following editorial guidelines' but 'who can I bully off of Wikipedia.' This is proven by the fact that you have some alert that comes up when a new External Link is placed onto the site, and then you immediately take it down. But, on that same page, you leave up External Links that do not follow the guidelines. Then, to top it off, you preach editorial guidelines -- the same ones you do not follow. So, you both hit the trifecta: You are amateur editors, hypocrites and bullies -- all at the same time.

Please answer this: Why do you take off new External Links that do not follow your editorial guidelines, and -- on the same page -- leave up links that also do not follow your guidelines? Are you being incompetent, or are you being bullies to anyone new with Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregbrown (talkcontribs) 10:17, 13 February, 2007

Time zone

In response to your message to 208.127.71.78:

Help:Wikitext examples says that some editors prefer shorter lines, as it makes diffs easier to read.

I had observed that the daylight saving time diffs are getting pretty outlandish. For example, Daylight saving time diff of 2007-02-10 08:05 is so wide that I can't easily display it on my non-superwide screen. That is why I made the change that you reverted. Sorry about breaking the links, of course. I had noticed the same problem and was about to fix it just as you were undoing the change.

If this isn't the right way to do things, can you please suggest a better way to make diffs easier to read?

208.127.71.78 04:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Time zone, take 2

Following up again on the problem with seeing time zone diffs like Revision as of 20:35, 9 February 2007, I have a 1900x1200 monitor and that diff is way too wide to fit on my screen. I can see only the left-hand column of the diff, and a tiny bit of the right-hand column. It's pretty extreme, huh? I am using Mozilla 1.7 for Solaris 10, if that matters, but I don't think it does; I recall seeing similar problems with recent Firefox on Debian.

I see it in a lot of diffs for the daylight saving page. I don't look at a lot of diffs elsewhere so I don't have much experience with that.

I tried removing <code> as you suggested, and that seemed to fix the problem. Perhaps we should reword the <code> stuff? Actually, all that Windows/Posix/Java stuff should be in a separate web page anyway, as it's sort of taking over what should be a relatively mundane discussion of DST. (But this is a different issue, I guess.)

208.127.71.78 09:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Time zone, take 2.1

I can confirm seeing the same problem with too-wide diff listings with Firefox 1.0.4 on a 1600x1200 monitor using Linux 2.4.27. So the problem is not just that particular Solaris browser.

131.179.64.200 17:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Time Zone, take 3

I dunno, if the message is "Don't use Firefox, don't use Mozilla" then there's something wrong here. Those are the only browsers shipped with Solaris as far as I know. Opera is available from a 3rd party but it is not free software. I guess I'll just limp along without being able to read Wikipedia diffs worth beans, which is unfortunate.

CLJ Airport

Hi, I have 2 comments regarding your recent edits on the Cluj-Napoca International Airport article:

  • In the airportframe: why do you insist in putting a reference in there, soon after the airport's nativename? I think it's best if you put the reference somewhere else in the body of the article, as if it's in the frame, it adds an extra line to the frame.
  • I understand your concern about the fact that in the AIP the runway for CLJ is still listed as 1850m. The reality though, is that the runway was already extended to 2100m and you've also found a PDF file saying that. I don't think that Wikipedia needs to match the AIP data exactly, especially when this data is not correct. I would therefore put the correct length in the article, but I'll wait for your reply first. Alexrap 17:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Air

You continue to remove fleet updates that I post to the First Air entry, most recently changing the number of ATR42 from 7 to 6, and the B737C total from 4 to 3. I explained in the comments that the First Air website is very slow in updating the totals, and asked you to check the Transport Canada website if you required confirmation.

http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activepages/ccarcs/en/current_e.asp

type in "bradley air services" (corporate name of the company operating under the trade name of First Air) as the owner name and you will come up with the complete list of aircraft registered.

You are correct, this will show a total of 24 aircraft, not the 20 that I listed on the wikipedia site. Two HS748's (CGDUL and CGGNZ) are parked at CYRP after being essentially stripped of anything sellable or useable on the remaining three. This is where CGMOC (a DC-3) has remained for close to 20 years since it has retired, I am not sure why First Air keeps this registration current. One of the B727-200 freighters, CGYFA, is in need of a C check and has been parked in a semiretirement state at the Ottawa Airport for the past two years.

The active ATR-42 are CFTJB, CFTCP, CFIQR, CFIQU, CGHCP, CGSRR, and CGULU. CGULU appears to the one you are disputing, as it was added December 6 of 2006. This should be easy for you, as that particular aircraft has visited your airport a number of times. Its the one with the all white paint job and a muskox on the tail. I saw it in the hangar last night.

The active B737C are CFNVK, CFNVT, CGNDC, and CGNWN. CFNVK is the newest addition, this may be more difficult for you to believe as it is YOW based and although gravel kit equiped, not likely to pay your home a visit.

Are you suggesting that the Transport Canada website has been hacked? Why do you continue to vandalize the First Air wikipedia entry? If your sole source is the First Air website, why bother with wikipedia at all? Just post a link so everyone can visit the First Air website and learn the truth, or at least the truth as it existed 3 to 6 months ago from the company point of view. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.108.182.203 (talk) 22:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I did check the TC site before making the change and I did know about the trade name being "bradley air services". So then lets use the TC site to reference the fleet size in the article. All 24 aircraft will now have to be listed. Do you have any references to say that some aircraft are not operational? If you do then that can be in the article as well, otherwise it's just original reasearch and can't be included. By the way if you go to here and then to here and enter GMOC in the "mark" box you can see that it's a BE20 and not a DC3. It was owned by Bradley from Ptarmigan and is now owned by Alkan Air. You were thinking of FMOC.
Now I see that using the http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activepages/ccarcs/aspscripts/en/quicksearch.asp and using the "mark" to search for each aircraft will allow some additional infromation to be added to the article. For example searching for FMOC will allow the article to say that the registration was cancelled.
I now found that this stays static and does not need the entry to search for and makes a much better reference.

Based on your finding two more aircraft listed at the FAB site plus the listing at the TC site I updated the box to show both fleets with the associated references. The reader can then make up their own mind. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 02:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only change I have made is to put the DC3 in a separate section. I left the AT43's in as you put them as I agree with you but the pictures as such don't really prove anything. As an example of that got to her and look at GBIY. The float got broken in 1999 and a case could be made that it is u/s but the aircraft is still certified here. Cheers.

Was this some sort of spam? I got an email like this, that correctly mentions a person and a topic on a web page I make:

Michael DiBiase and Michael DiBiase Jr. Pages

The pages for "Iron" Mike DiBiase and Michael DiBiase Jr. are two totally different pages for two different people. They are related in being grandfather and grandson but they are NOT the same. I ask that you separate the pages and recreate Michael DiBiase Jr.'s wiki page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brett420x (talkcontribs) 06:01, 18 February 2007.

As you have recently contributed to the blink-182 article you might be interested in casting your vote towards reaching a final consensus on the bands genre, Pop Punk or Punk Rock, votes can be cast here. cheers mate --Dan027 07:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you deleted this, with no comment... I don't know if it was in response to my blurb on ANI, and just wanted to ask for some follow up with the creator of the article, so the behaviour doesn't continue and so they don't think I'm "picking on them". You might want to check the user's other contribs and deal with the numerous other copyvios, like the now orphaned image that was in the deleted article. - WeniWidiWiki 20:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of that and getting back to me! I appreciate it. - WeniWidiWiki 21:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Order of Canda medal of service

Hi,

In 1967 when the Order of Canada was created it had two components : the rank of Companion, and the medal of service. In 1972 the Order was altered so that anyone who had been given the medal of service was changed to the rank of office. At this time most of the medals were exchanged for the officers badge and the rank of medal of service no longer existed. She was later upgraded to Companion. I just wanted to make this more clear on her page. See the Order of Canada page for more info. Dowew 02:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Michael DiBiase/Michael DiBiase Jr.

I don't understand why you tagged his page in the first place? He's a third generation professional wrestler to a father and grandfather that were highly successful in the business. He's been apart of the major WLW federation owned by wrestling legend Harly Race and he and his brother are soon to be on WWE Television. What's not notable about him? His page shouldn't have been deleted but I'm glad to see it was reinstated! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brett420x (talkcontribs) 02:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

kamasutraposes.hit.bg

Please, tell me what is wrong in this link -> kamasutraposes.hit.bg - Kamasutra training. Tell me the reasons why you remove it from Kama_Sutra, link is like -> users.forthnet.gr/ath/nektar/kma/main.htm - Explanations with animations for sex positions ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.25.37.111 (talk) 08:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Your answear: Sorry I must have clicked on the wrong external link. I thought that it was not in English. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, but can you add this link kamasutraposes.hit.bg - Kamasutra training, section Kama_Sutra in External link. The site is in English. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.25.37.111 (talkcontribs) 09:59, 19 February 2007.

Eskimo words for snow

Ouch! I am really sorry. I didn't check the source enough, just the title and the first column (which contains the fake "Inuit words"). Add to it that I am not a native speaker of English and we have a problem.

I added that link to the article when I was a bit sleepy. When I read from you that the list is a joke, I entered that webpage to check and I was amazed of my silly flaw. It is the first time I make a mistake like that in Wikipedia, after a lot of edits. I'll be much more careful next time. Thanks for warning me. --Antonielly 21:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Learning curve ahead of me!

Thanks CBW. I'll take the time to try to learn the protocol. This is the first exposure I've had to contributing to Wikipedia.

belated thanks

I only just now noticed that 'way back on 13 July 2006 (at 16:05) you reverted some vandalism to my user page. Thank you, good sir! —Steve Summit (talk) 02:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CambridgeBay,

{{Largest and smallest census divisions of Canada by area}}
{{Largest and smallest census divisions of Canada by population}}
Just want to let you know that I just realised that the census divison names for Nunavut are not quite the same as the administrative names. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the above, with apologies for my belated acknowledgement. On revisiting these templates, I thought they may as well be merged, so produced this. Any thoughts, or shall I copy it into template space and replace the previous templates...?  Yours, David Kernow (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good. I notice that several templates are being set to the "hide" state by default so you might want to do that. Otherwise it might overwhelm a smaller article...

Good point; I think that means I'll need to convert the template into a collapsible table or transfer it to {{Navbox generic}} format. Will do so anon, then implement. Thanks, David (talk) 17:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Not a complaint!

You deleted the above article about a week ago after it was prodded by an anonymous IP. I only discovered it after the same user deleted a wikilink to it from Lists of billionaires on February 19. As you can see from Special:Contributions/156.80.45.138, almost all his contributions have been to prod various billionaire-related pages. I came across this after a (related?) IP account (209.22.88.24) voted to delete the entire Category:Lists of people by wealth yesterday, on the basis that "[it] is bloated with mainly copies of copyrighted material from Forbes magazine". Since the source is cited in every categorised article I could find, I can only assume that the user(s) do not understand the principles behind references/citing sources, or the specifics of WP:COPYVIO.

I was wondering if it would therefore be possible to contest the prod/deletion of List of cities with the most billionaires "retrospectively"? I can't testify that it's definitely worthy of being restored, but I have suspicions. Also, if possible, could you check if any other related pages were similarly deleted before I was able to deprod them? Big ask, so thanks in advance for any assistance, --DeLarge 11:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for directing me to the right place -- my first time at DRV. Hope you don't mind me not bothering to add {{DRVNote}} to this page... --DeLarge 20:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Upper Canada College peer review

Hi - I note you've edited the Upper Canada College article on occasion. In the hopes of getting the article up to a standard where it can be nominated as a featured article, I've initiated a peer review of the page in question. Your observations would be appreciated, and can be left at Wikipedia:Peer review/Upper Canada College. Thanks. --G2bambino 18:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing wrong with it per se, though it might make sense to chop it from the Somali people page and refer via link to this page. It should also likely go more into the causes of the Diaspora and mention some of the diaspora organizations to be more encyclopediac. It'll come with time, I think. --Petercorless 10:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why delete the mention of Kenny Loggins and colonics ? It is well known, and he did in fact meet his wife at a clinic.
