LA World Airports

The reason it got listed in there was because I used Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser to make the lists. I didn't go back though and check each airport. Thanks for catching it. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guessed that you must have used an automatic method to make the list (and what a helpful list it is!). I just thought I'd make sure it was crossed out to avoid any confusion. --Fozi999 00:25, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Airbus A380 landing in Heathrow

Hi there - sorry about this, I'm really an idiot. I had read the headline and just assumed the article was on a different subject without even scrolling further down. Thanks for cleaning up the mess I made :) — QuantumEleven 07:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, when I originally saw the article I nearly made the same mistake. --Fozi999 12:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Towers Times Link

Im no towers times fan, but its pathetic to go out of your way to make sure the link is removed from the wikipedia article, and your website is at the top.

This is probably considered link spamming by wikipedia, but im no expert.

Maybe you have a valied reason why it shouldnt be included though?

Trust me, I have no such agenda. I read this and I honestly had no idea I'd ever removed the link. I checked my edits and it seems I'm right. I presume you're pathetic accusations refer to this edit. Have another look, the link I removed is a duplicate as Towers Times is already 3rd in the list. --Fozi999 10:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It's ages since I've been at that side of the city -- is that where the Warner cinema used to be? The JPS ^{talk to me} 14:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's the site. I took that photo on the spare of the moment. I might try to get some shots from better angles next time I'm passing. It might make it's location a bit clearer. --Fozi999 17:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Airport articles

Sure it's at http://www.alansim.com/airport_infobox.xls Usual thing, just right click to save. Hope it works for you. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map sources

I was just wondering if it's a good idea to be putting in _region:DE (and others)? The thing is it leads to this which is in German rather than this which is in English and we are an English Wikipeda. However I do see that Flughafen London-Heathrow in the German Wikipedia uses _region:GB which of course links to the English so in the end I guess it doesn't really matter. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that but only after I'd made the changes. I was reading the Parameters section of the Geographical Coordinates Wikiproject and it seemed like a sensible idea. In fact for the UK the result it is much better than the previous format. Personally the German doesn't make it a problem for me to understand the page but if you think it’s necessary I could revert them back to their original format. However, I suppose the real solution would be to have pages in different language for each region but I'm not sure if that wiki has them. --Fozi999 10:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At first I thought it was probably not a good idea but after I saw that the German Wikipedia had them linked to the English I figured it doesn't really matter. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to coaster infobox require article updating, need help

I've made several large additions to the {{Infobox roller coaster}} template, which will require updating of EVERY article using it. These additions are automatic unit conversion for the statistics and automatic categorization. I have also provided full documentation of every parameter on the template page, which I strongly encourage you to read. Every article will need the following changes:

These parameters must be delinked: location, section, manufacturer, and type. They will be automatically linked, and will (except for section) be used for automatic categorization.
The type parameter must be Steel or Wood.
The secondary type (Inverted, Floorless, Duelling etc.) should be moved to the type2 parameter. If a second secondary type is necessary, it goes in type3. In either case, don't link them, it will be done automatically.
height, drop, length, speed, and restriction must have all non-numeric characters removed. height, drop, and length must be expressed in feet (using decimals instead of inches if necessary), speed must be expressed in miles per hour, and restriction must be expressed in inches. All of these parameters will automatically be converted to metric and displayed in both forms.

Also, the rcdb_number parameter should be added to every coaster article that doesn't have it yet.

If the article is about a widely-cloned coaster such as Batman: The Ride where the template covers multiple installations of the same coaster, the redesigned template will not be appropriate. For these articles, simply change the template to "Infobox roller coaster simplified". This is the old version, without all the automation.

I've already updated over 50 articles myself, but I can't do this all day and I'll need your help to get it done quickly. The list of pages using the template can be found here. I'm sending this message to all listed participants of Wikipedia:WikiProject Roller Coasters. Dusso Janladde 07:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brain Teaser AfD

To all WikiProject Roller coasters participants: Brain Teaser, a kiddie coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake is up for deletion via WP:AFD. This isn't my article, but if it's deleted, it sets the prescident for many small coasters to be deleted, such as Mild Thing, which runs counter to the Coaster Wikiproject and also will make a lot of park templates look dumb since they can't include all coasters.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SantaAnaVol.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SantaAnaVol.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —An gr 20:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest!

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 00:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Canyon Blaster (Six Flags Magic Mountain)

The article Canyon Blaster (Six Flags Magic Mountain) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This roller coaster is a mass-produced roller coaster. There are two other roller coasters that have the exact same layout/characteristics of this roller coaster. A search on Google and Yahoo returned no reliable secondary sources regarding the roller coaster that could be included to support the notability of the topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue II - January 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together.
Articles and Assessment As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject. The following articles reached B-class quality during December: Griffon (roller coaster) • Magnum XL-200 • Maverick (roller coaster) • Nemesis (roller coaster) • SheiKra
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections.
Membership News During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
B-class Drive This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue III - February 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject!
Articles and Assessment We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: Speed Monster • Arrow Dynamics • Bolliger & Mabillard
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal reached featured portal status during January! You can still nominate articles for the selected content sections on the portal.
Membership News During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.
Article Improvement Drive This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.
