Welcome Back!

Glad to see you back here on Wiki. And thank you for the help with the colour codes on that MySpace userbox. Since you left I've studied hex codes more deeply.

Yakolev Template

The Yakolev template looks great! Thanks for the addition. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 00:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mexicali article

Thanks for fixing my typos in the line about the olympic torch bearer. They were pretty embarassing. Good co-tweaking the article with you, btw.

Douglas Template

Hey! Templatse are looking good. There is one issue though with the douglas tempalte (and maybye others). They are supposed to be above the airliust template. Being the airlist template is included in the specifications section, by adding the nav template right before the closing brackets of the specs template will cause it to show up above the air list box. I made the change in the article on the A-26 Invader. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No prob! I did the EXACT same thing when I started with aircraft nav templates. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Date format

Do not change articles from one date format to another on grounds of "NPOV". The arbitration committee has sanctioned editors for this. Jonathunder 17:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WikiProject Trains

Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 19:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Florida State Road 372A

What standard were you attempting to conform to with this move? If it's a county highway, then it should be named according to the county highway standard. "State Road 372A" no longer exists. -- NORTH talk 06:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sidewinder Article

Thanks for moving 9M image; fixed that pesky white space problem! And thanks for noticing the upgrades to the article and sending me my first Barnstar....so many fine articles here...I just noticed a lot I could add to this one in particular although I'm learning as I go. Cheers! HJ 15:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cites

Take a look at Sukhoi Su-6 now. I changed virtually nothing beyond adding in-line citations using the <ref> tags. But the article actually looks properly cited now, instead of the usual "where did this come from" text with a couple of web links at the bottom that plagues so many otherwise good Wikipedia pages. Having put a number of articles through A-class and Featured Article reviews, I can tell you that inline citations are always a must. If you put them in as you are doing the writing, it will make your and other editors' lives so much easier. Thanks for contributing! :) - Emt147 Burninate! 18:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the great Raven userbox. If you don't mind me asking, how did you create the table on your userpage? Rougeblossom 22:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Curtiss Seahawk

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll pull out my references and do what I can to expand or cite. ericg ✈ 17:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've earned your Wiki-Wings!

The Wikiproject Aircraft Wiki-Wings
I, Askari Mark, award you your Wiki-Wings for your enthusiastic and tireless contributions in support of WikiProject Aircraft! Askari Mark (Talk) 18:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've earned them! Please keep up the good work ... and may your flying weather never be IFR! Askari Mark (Talk) 18:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CF-116 Freedom Fighter

THe little editorial comments, such as infobox work (it had obviously been lifted directly from the F-5...ignoring that this is the CF-116. *sigh*) are not appreciated. I did not "ignore" the fact that it was the CF-116 article, though sometimes I do forget to change some things, especially the title (which I remebered in this case). Changing "fighter" to fighter-bomber" or the rest was really not worth a sigh. You do a good job; I'd appreciate it if you'd not be so critical of the sincere efforts of others (I've seen you do this to others also) to improve articles, and just fix what needs to be fixed. Thanks. - BillCJ 03:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I figured you didn't know who had done. And it's OK, I get in snarky moods too (especially when removing gamecruft or vandalism!). Anyway, we're not perfect, just forgiven. - BillCJ 03:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Aircraft Pages

Just to say thank you for correcting the new aircraft pages I have created, hope I am learning from your edits and reducing your work each time !!.MilborneOne 21:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dashes

Please stop "fixing" dashes on the B-17 Flying Fortress article. You are not "fixing" them, you are replacing em dashes (—) with hyphens (-); the former is an actual dash, while the latter isn't, and should not be used as one. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) for more information. —Squalla 02:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought just after posting this... I apologize! As for the characters not displaying correctly, this may be useful. Hope that helps. —Squalla 02:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
