Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to Organisation for Economic Coöperation and Development and back again

Please give your reasons for re-moving Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on its talk page; it is obviously a bone of contention. Also, please be aware that a large number of pages still redirect to the diaeretic spelling, and are now double redirects. They will need to be fixed.

Railway v. metro station

A metro or light rail tag would work. Metro/Subway could also work, but what above elevated lines like SkyTrain? It starts to just boggle your mind as Metros are usually considered heavy rail.

Kazakh pages

I saw you made some great edits on Kazakh-related pages. You may be interested in, and hopefully can improve, these pages:

Atasu-Alashankou pipeline

Hi, I see you are still doing great work on pipelines. While working on Terrorism in Kazakhstan I came across mentions of the Atasu-Alashankou pipeline. Have you ever heard of this pipeline? Would you consider starting an article on it? Regards, KazakhPol 01:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Burgas-Alexandropoulos

Have you heard of the Burgas-Alexandropoulos pipeline or the Odesa-Brody-Gdansk pipeline? They're mentioned in a Radio Free Europe article I came across. I'm trying to incorporate the info into the Kasymzhomart Tokayev page. See the external link here[1]. Is there an alternative spelling for these pipelines? Are there already articles on Wikipedia on them? If not, please consider starting them as I would prefer to avoid dead links on this page. Thanks, KazakhPol 00:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the assistance. KazakhPol 18:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget to subst templates!

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thanks! :) Hbackman 22:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
