		You are hereby granted this shiny object for all your hard work at WikiProject Oregon! Great work completing all those Oregon airport articles! Katr67 (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow! So Shiny! Thanks, glad to help! --Trashbag (talk) 21:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Sad seeing all the redlinks after all that work... :( --Trashbag (talk) 00:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

WikiMapia template

As far as I am concerned they are redundant. Yesterday when I was making an edit I noticed the template wasn't working so i looked at the template and saw this. I assumed that the edit was good and started to remove the template from articles. Today when I restarted I had done about 90 when I noticed the template was working again and saw this. After looking at User talk:BrownHairedGirl#Coordinates, Wikipedia talk:External links#Links to map services and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#BrownHairedGirl involved in tendentious and disruptive editing and leaving her a message I decided that the issue was not as clear cut as I had first thought. So I am restoring the map links and then if later a consensus to remove them becomes clear a bot can do it. Unfortunately I can't just roll them all back because there were other valid edits made as well. But personally, I don't care if the links to WikiMapia are removed and will not restore them a second time should someone else remove them.

I added a comment about the use of WikiMapia links in airport articles at User talk:CambridgeBayWeather #WikiMapia on airport articles. -- Zyxw (talk) 20:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Chinook Sumburgh

Just realised we must have created articles at the same time!! Sorry about that I did all the usual searches then created the new article. All help appreciated (particularly as I had the fatality figures wrong from the earlier CAA Report!!), a neglected subject which we have put right. Thanks.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Participants

Nice to see you on the list for the aircraft project! It certainly has been busy on Silver State Helicopters, at least until the blocks took effect! - Ahunt (talk) 22:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I have been watching it since you posted that note - it certainly needed some watching and fixing up! Can't wait for the blocks to come off tomorrow! I suspect those two IP addresses were the same guy on two different PCs. Maybe he will find a third PC later on tonight! - Ahunt (talk) 22:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks like he got himself a user account instead! - Ahunt (talk) 23:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

External link on Helitack

Thanks for reverting that external link! He left a note on my talk page about it admitting that it is his own website that he is trying to link to. I responded to him on his own talk page in case you want to see what I wrote. Let's see what his response is next! - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, West Coast Airlines Flight 956, was selected for DYK!

On February 16, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article West Coast Airlines Flight 956, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid (talk) 20:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Links to disambiguation pages

Hello. I noticed you reverted this edit. Links to disambiguation pages are supposed to have the "disambiguation" suffix so that they sort separately when one clicks "What links here". See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Links to disambiguation pages. Thanks. Khatru2 (talk) 22:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Seems to me that the Albany page should be moved to [[Albany (disambiguation)]]. Seems rather redundent. --Trashbag (talk) 22:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The Dalles and Albany airports

All your points regarding The Dalles Airport are excellent and well taken. However, the inclusion of DLS on the Oregon list leaves an ambiguity that should be resolved. My suggestion is to repeat most of the things you said on my talk page in a footnote on the List of airports in Oregon article. I'll go ahead and implement this suggestion, and please let me know what you think of it.

On a separate topic, can you shed any light on the specific historical reasons that the Albany Municipal Airport was listed on the National Register of Historic Places? I may be in a position to take some pictures tomorrow, and I'd like to be able to capture some of the historical nature of it as well as general airfield ops.

Thanks! Ipoellet (talk) 18:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Los Angeles Airways Flight 417

Sorry it took so long. You were correct that the article was more than a Stub. It is now rated Start-Class and the B-Class checklist is partially completed. I will get to it when I have more time, or you can request another assessment or ask another editor in the project to assess it. --Born2flie (talk) 07:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Willamette Falls Community Hospital Heliport

Yes, because as evident from the articles deletion log, this is the only article that was proposed for deletion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll be happy to restore the article. I'd encourage you to review WP:PROD to learn a little bit about the Proposed Deletion policy. I didn't delete the article because I wanted to; I deleted it because somebody else proposed its deletion, and after 5 days, nobody objected to the deletion. Anyhow, PROD-deleted articles are restored all the time, as the policy allows for it. I've done it, no problem. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Airport deletions

Hi Trashbag - you might want to bring this up on WikiProject Airports as well as on the Aviation Wikiproject --Rlandmann (talk) 22:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Standard airport page creation

I was wondering if you use a standard template for creating airport articles. When creating aircraft articles I use Template:Aerostart then fill in the blanks. This saves time in formatting to the standard. If not, I'd like to create a template for this at Template:Airportstart. Could you take a look at it- Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 01:11, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to discussion about new Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports/Notability

A recent discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports led to the creation today of a proposal for a notability guideline Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports/Notability (talk). I noticed you seem to have expended a significant amount of time and effort on private airport pages in Oregon. California's equivalent list is almost all redlinks. No other states have lists of private airports at all. So this discussion probably affects you uniquely. As a matter of proper respect we should invite you to the discussion now as it's in a beginning state. I realize the content of the proposal may not be received as good news because it proposes that having an FAA airport code satisfies verifiability but not notability. Having found that you'd probably be affected by this, I think you needed to be informed about it ASAP - it's just the right and polite thing to do. Please join the discussion and bring your suggestions to the proposal. Ikluft (talk) 06:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
