Re: Pipe bomb article and current tag

Sorry, just a misunderstanding of the use of the tag. Thanks for the pointer. Rpyle731^talk 05:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holidays

I make it myself! I use Wikipedia's list from the past year, which is generally terrible, and four or five reliable websites where I fact-check. Yes, it takes up a ton of time. Oh well... I enjoy it. Next year will be a lot easier since I have the basic lists already and will just need to change holidays that have floating dates. Thanks!

how to request only certain versions of a file be deleted

Thanks for deleting. Is there a way to request only certain versions of a file be deleted, whether speedily or at FFD, besides just mentioning it in text? Galatee (talk) 19:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's no straightforward way I know of except to drop a note on someone with the administrator rights talkpage. Given that people are off-and-on the site FfD is probably the easiest place, and the most likely to be actioned quickly. Happy editing - Peripitus (Talk) 20:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IATA code YAH

Hello. The following is in response to your comment on my talk page.

The IATA charges a fee for an official list of IATA location identifiers; as per this page it costs $1,100 (US) for a one time web download. Because of that I use secondary sources for IATA codes; one I have found to be quite accurate is the Aviation Safety Network. When I edited La Grande-4 Airport back in July 2007, I was checking the IATA codes for Canadian airport articles; those found at ASN had links added, those not found were removed until a reference could be found. Due to your question I checked another secondary source, UN/LOCODE (United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations). Their 2009 list for Canada contains YAH, with a "4" in the function column indicating "airport" and "AI" in the status column meaning a "code adopted by international organization (IATA or ECLAC)". Therefore, I have updated the article to show IATA: YAH, with a reference to the UN/LOCODE list. -- Zyxw (talk) 06:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bedell redirect

Galatee, I replied to your query here. If you think that redirect should exist, please explain why. I wouldn't delete it a second time, but it would likely be deleted by someone else without a justification; the external news stories all link to the existing userpage. –SJ + 01:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good reason; thank you for the explanation. –SJ + 21:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
