Not the way to address problems

[edit]

I have just had to undo your removal of permission templates from a whole lot of images, after I addressed the issue on your talk page. You have not responded to the issues raised on your talk page, and have instead removed the discussion I have attempted to start with you, and have removed the permission needed template from the files. At least one of these files has been uploaded to Commons, where I am somewhat inclined to now speedy delete it from the site, given actions by yourself here. Is there any explanation as to why you have done that? And know that I am not having a go at you, but it is awfully suspicious when an issue is raised with an editor, and they simply ignore it and remove templates which concern themselves with copyright issues. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 16:05, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been given a clear detailed approach to how to 'solve it'. Everything confuses me the way you showed it.. I have an email comfirming the rights to upload the pictures but where do I forward it? Zaps93 (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The instructions are detailed in the template on the image page, and can also be found at {{Di-no permission}} --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 07:59, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok thanks. As I said to Milborne, I blame the heat for my actions, I'm not to good with heat. Sorry. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 08:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not so terse, please

[edit]

Hello! I sincerely appreciate your use of edit summaries; it seems to be a concept too difficult for a lot of editors. However, if you're going to describe an edit as "corrections", it would be nice to have an idea of what those corrections were, or what you thought was wrong (or why). In the case of this particular edit, you moved huge sections around such that it's not easy to compare one version with another; you might have added a bunch of references to Charles Chaplin owning the airline, or claimed that Jupiter is the emperor of Uruguay (if you see what I mean). Something to think about in the future, anyway. Happy editing, — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes ok, understood. Thanks. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 20:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Georgian Airways destinations, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.altiusdirectory.com/Travel/georgian-airways.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:44, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wind Jet New Route

[edit]

Hi again

I have a problem. I am trying to find out where Wind Jet will be flying from to Malaga. They are definately starting to fly to Malaga (Says on Aena.es) but i ant find out where it will be to? could you possibly Help?

(By the way, i think its catania so i put catania on the Malaga Airport Page, but this may not be true)

thanks --MKY661 (talk) 22:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll take a look, but I probably won't find anything either. Sorry. Zaps93 (talk) 14:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of brackets/commas

[edit]

Please note that brackets were not "dropped a while ago". Correct English dictates that brackets are used in such instances, not commas. Put simply, commas separate parts of a sentence, brackets indicate text that provides additional information but is not integral to the structure of the sentence. Indicating the stylistic formatting of a company name is considered additional text, but not necessarily essential to the sentence structure. Throughout wikipedia, this information is provided within brackets, and there is no reason in Wikipedia or grammar to change this. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was told by an editor, do not use brackets as it's false something. So ever since I had been using commas. It's in the history of the flydubai page. Take a look, you should find it. Zaps93 (talk) 10:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately you were misinformed previously. I have explained above why brackets should be used and not commas, and you can see their widespread usage throughout Wikipedia in similar circumstances. I understand you were using commas in good faith, but trust I have explained that brackets are grammatically correct. Any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers, Nouse4aname (talk) 10:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alitalia

[edit]

Are you really sure that the incident is notable enough for a mention. Engine failure happen on a daily basis, over 99% of which do nor result in injuries or deaths, as was the case here. Mjroots (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to say so. There was even a picture to the specific incident. I think it's worth mentioning just not worth the seperate article. Zaps93 (talk) 17:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'll not revert you, but if another editor does remove the incident then you should take that as consensus that the incident isn't notable. Further discussion should then take place on the talk page of the article as to its inclusion. Mjroots (talk) 18:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okey dokey. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 18:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Zaps93 (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair-use rationales

[edit]

Hi Zaps93. :) Please don't forget to include fair-use rationales when you upload images. They are very important. Template:Logo fur might be of help. If you have any questions just ask at my talk page. Thank you! Theleftorium (talk) 14:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, did you really create File:Viking.png yourself? If not, we should change the license to non-free. Theleftorium (talk) 14:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No I didn't. That was a typo. Zaps93 (talk) 15:24, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Mehrabad Airport logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Because you used a fair use rationale with your upload, the recommended copyright tag is {{non-free logo}}. Please add this to the image and remove the speedy delete template ({{di-no license}}).

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot (talk) 21:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Mehrabad Airport logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from File:Mehrabad Airport logo.jpg, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. I've re-added the template, because I don't consider it a logo. However, you should know that deleting that template isn't something you yourself can do (see the instructions) and it won't stop the deletion. Read about the "hangon" template to try to do that. Cheers. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 22:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vueling_Airlines&diff=369629649&oldid=369628796 Where was it discussed that building names (this is not a full address) are not to be put in infoboxes and headers? "Parque de Negocios Mas Blau II" seems to be a building name, and not an address. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airlines#Headquarters_of_Airlines_-_being_specific_or_general, as you can see people would prefer just the village/town/city, state and country. Everything outside of that isn't really valid. People would like it kept simple, not the building. Zaps93 (talk) 09:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Airline destination lists

May I know how the previous decision can be enforced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.18.170.149 (talk) 14:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really sure what you mean. Best thing to do at the moment is list the destinations in either a list or table format depending on what you think is best. Zaps93 (talk) 15:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incidents and accidents sections of airline articles.

[edit]

Hi,

Please familiarise yourself with the content guidelines for airline articles at WikiProject Airlines. There is longstanding consensus on the criteria for inclusion of aircraft incidents / accidents in Airline articles (not separate articles) which states that:

Accidents or incidents should only be included if:

  • The event was fatal to either aircraft occupants or persons on the ground;
  • The event involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport;
  • The event resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry.

These guidelines were drawn up to avoid airline (and indeed airport) articles from becoming cluttered with minor, non-notable incidents. The Flydubai incident does not meet these criteria, that is why is has been removed from the page. If we included engine failures / shutdowns on airline pages there would be some long lists for many airlines! That is why we have the criteria above.

Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 16:28, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SempreVolando, I will do what you ask only because I don't really want to break the rules of editing. I really do think that it should be added as it's a small article and a fairly new airline. Quite a big think for them. I shall leave it at you revert. I apologise. Kind Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 18:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Volareweb.com destinations

[edit]

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Volareweb.com destinations. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Volareweb.com. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Volareweb.com - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response to question

[edit]

Yes I think you should since it is the new name, but still keep a redirect from Air One. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.27.110.254 (talk) 20:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on My Wings requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Iranian Airlines

[edit]

If you want to expand its destination list...

What I would suggest for you is to contact the Farsi/Persian Wikipedia on its embassy page. A Wikipedian in Iran could procure a schedule of the airline and upload it on another website, and that schedule could be used as a source WhisperToMe (talk) 16:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
