User talk:CambridgeBayWeather/Archive24

I have two requests for people coming here:

• If you intend to revert to personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
• If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Gatwick 2nd runway

AS/CBW just to say thanks for your support on the 2nd runway question, getting a bit fed up with putting it back in. Dont think some people read the source material.MilborneOne 18:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks

I don't know if you watch it but I've replied to your message on my user page, is there a way to reply to make sure the original author is notified even if not watching ? --DynV 06:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Possible bot work

Nice work on the leading zero's. I wondered if your bot would be able to clean up some more common airport errors. The first type can be seen at Barnstable Municipal Airport. The runway should be in the style XX/XX and not XX-XX. The second I don't have an example for right at hand, but runways should be listed as 10/28 and not 28/10. The lower number should be first. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 01:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :-). Cleaning up those two other errors should be no problem, but let's make sure we have consensus first before going ahead. Feel free to propose it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports and if there is consensus there then I'll have the bot do the run. —Mets501 (talk) 01:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Runways

You wrote:

They are 180 degrees from each other. So if your runway is 02 then it would be 02/20. If it's an airport in the US then it would drop the leading 0 and be listed as 2/20. If you have the airport code then World Aero Data is the best place to look. If, based on where you are from, you are creating a airport in Indonesia, then this is the direct link to airports in Indonesia. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I get confused. about this things. I looked at another sources and it said it is 36/18. Then I looked WorldAeroData that you told me, and it said the direction of the airport is 182.0 and 002.0, and the runway number is 18 and 36 respectively. If you want to help here(for the airport) and here(for the airport's runway) is the World Aero Data for the airport and here is the wikipedia article. Thanks a lot --Nielswik 13:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Removing runway surface links

Hey! Thanks for leavin' me a message. I don't get very many of them, so they're quite pleasantly welcome. :)

I was following the format at Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports/infobox. In the template not even the first one is linked. I do understand what you're saying, though. I thought the same thing, that is... seeing half with, half without. I was putting them in the first box myself until I took a very close look at the link above.

A fair amount of the ones I'm removing are from articles I originally added. If you look through the history of a decent number of the airports in List of airports in California, you'll see that I've put them in at least 30 articles that I've created stubs for.

Anywho, thanks for the heads-up. I'm thinking, however, that if surface was to be linked, it would have been done in the template itself and not on the code for individual airport's infoboxes. :) Thadius856 04:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Note: I've stopped unlinking runway_surface until I hear otherwise from you, as a common courtesy. I guess I'll just stick to tracking down airports that aren't using {{coor dms||||||||}} yet and get those filled in. :) Thadius856 04:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. I was actually following your lead, not knowing it was you doing that. :P Anywho, if it's in the infobox, does that count as the first occurence, or is the it the first occurence after the infobox? :) Thadius856 04:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense the way you're doing it, I suppose. Took me a few times to read through and understand it. All's well! Thadius856 04:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yep. AWB's kickin' butt for me. Take a peek at my contributions... I'm adding {{coor dms|||||||||}} like a WikiFool! :D Thadius856 04:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Links to Silent Uproar reviews

I am wondering why numerous links to record reviews on Silent Uproar were deleted, when similar links to other media are allowed to stay. For example, Headlights (band) and Interpol (band) no longer hold the external links I provided to coverage.

Sorry, this posted twice.

Cardiff Airport edit

Thanks for your help! I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on this page - a couple of users seem determined to turn it into a rather vicious travel review or to cut it back from what seems to be quite a thorough and useful piece. However - I do declare an interest: I work there!

Thanks again

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome message. I have a question: If I come across an article that has a spelling error in the name of the article, can that be amended?

Expansion of Wikiproject Hard Rock

Dear WikiProject Hard Rock members,
This is a notice about the proposed expansion of the WikiProject, so the scope covers rock music in general, changing it from "WikiProject Hard Rock" to "Wikiproject Rock music". Like I pointed out to the creator, DavidJJJ, what falls under the scope of "hard rock" may come into dispute, and there is no existing WikiProject for rock in general, only WikiProject Alternative music and WikiProject Punk music come somewhat close. This expansion will hopefully in theory be a guide/directory, and bring much needed attention to articles of this genre. DavidJJJ has already given kudos to the idea, and it is encouraged that you express your thoughts and concerns on the WikiProject's talk page before anything goes forward. We hope start the transition soon. Until then, please, make your voice heard! Cheers. -- Reaper X 22:31, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Nav Canada

Just to let you know...

There are only 61 FSS across the country. 2 sites were closed at the end of September. There are also only 7 FICs. The NAV CANADA web site is not up to date. Whitehorse is not considered an FIC within NAV CANADA and Yellowknife never did get changed from an FSS to an FIC. In fact Yellowknife is losing most of its services to North Bay FIC.

I know all this because I am a NAV CANADA employee.

Yer an idiot.

Hello sir.

I'm writing to you regarding your edit of the Montreal-Mirabel Airport rwy 11-29 status. ADM's airports plans still show rwy 11-29 as active, however if you go to this link, you will see that they fully acknowledge the closure of that runway.

About My Question About Chess on the Wikipedia Article

Dude!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU --JDitto

I would like to thank you for answering my question with such impeccable timing, my fellow Canadian. I noticed that you do a lot of helping around the ref desk, and now I thank you personally for helping me (personally). Okay, my grammer needs work...

Do you get much sleep lately? I would give you a barnstar, but it seems that someone else already did. Oh well, thanks anyways. --JDitto 05:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much though, I thought that thing was fact, not fable! --JDitto 06:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Transilvania International Airport

The new name was proposed in March 1 and introduced some months later 2; I see this new name on worldaerodata and some airline sites like wizzair, references are unfortunately in local language. Anyway I leave the name as it is now.

Help requested

Hi

I'm writing to you - and others - because you are one of several people who appears to have experienced the same thing as I have noticed and experienced.

Namely a pattern of vandalism by an anonymous user. The IP # is 66.229.10.64

See this user's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:66.229.10.64

This user has been temporarily blocked several times. I notice that the pattern is the same.

The person doesn't seem to respond to polite community requests to engage in dialogue - or to desist from repeatedly making edits that several editors consider to be vandalism.

I am not that experienced in these matters but can there be an attempt made to block this user permanently? Or at least for a period of time so that the person gets a message about respecting the community. Thanks. Davidpatrick 02:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

{{Largest and smallest census divisions of Canada by area}}

Hi again CambridgeBay[hope the]Weather[isn't unpleasant],

You had "Champlain ... as the smallest but List of Quebec regions and the Quebec Government say that Laval, Quebec is the smallest...

Thanks for spotting and correcting!  Have also propogated {{Largest and smallest census divisions of Canada by population}} and am about to propogate {{Census metropolitan areas by size}} – hopefully I've compiled these correctly... Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 00:17, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

NAV CANADA

I will leave it to you to make any further corrections.

Only one of your sources actually shows nine FICs and that is a map of the FIC project. The CFS shows 6 FICs across the country and YYB is still considered only an IFSS although we consider it an FIC in the company. So that means that there are only 6 regardless of what is put on the website. You can check the Aeronautical Information Circulars, found on the NAV CANADA webpage, to see that Dawson Creek FSS and Prince George FSS are now closed which means as of today there are only 61 FSS across the country. If you decide to do that then you will also notice the FSS in Roberval will close in November. You can expect to see something in the coming months stating the IFSS functions in YYB will be moving to YQX, March 15/07 is the switch over date. That will probably the same time YYB will be published as a FIC.

In answer to your question I am a WG ACC controller.

CSD

Thanks for the note. I dunno why it was there, but it doesn't matter any more. If you have a moment, could you check CAT:CSD, and delete all the user subpages I've {{db-author}}-ed? Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 14:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
