Johnsville Naval Air Development Center

Thanks for deleting this article. You screwed up the NAWC article by doing this. I wish I could make carte blanche decisions like that. :\ --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE 14:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: your comment - I wish I knew how this happened, because the NAWC wikilinks were not corrected. I edited that page, and it had good content. You say you deleted it because it lacked content, but where is all the history? --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE 20:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Diaoyu Islands protection movement activists

Hi VW, Just wanted to let you know that I took care of that odd, unattached comment on "Diaoyu Islands protection movement activists" that you closed out. The moment I spotted that I knew right where it went... because it was clearly a reply (from the category's creator) to the CFD that I had opened for Category:Diaoyu Islands protection movement activists on August 7. Somehow or other, he left it on the wrong day's CFDs, instead of following the link in the CFD notification that I left on his talk page. Oh well, I tried! :) Anyway, I've moved the comment into that CFD, and simply removed the remaining traces of your closing template. Cgingold (talk) 21:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Revisit

When you get a chance, would you stop by this cfd for a message I left for you in that thread? Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Would you be willing and able to participate is discussing some of the "larger issues" at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies/Categories? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy criterion #6 challenge

There's been the first challenge that I'm aware of to the use of the speedy criterion #6 that you proposed and helped along ("Georgia" to "Georgia (country)", etc.) How exciting! ... See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_11#Georgia-related_categories. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 11:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Rollback is only supposed to be used when an edit is obviously vandalism, see: Wikipedia:Rollback feature#When not to use Rollback. swaq 22:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually what that says is unworthy change to an article (usually vandalism). Vegaswikian (talk) 22:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

It also says "Rollback must only be used to undo edits that are blatantly nonproductive, such as vandalism. This includes edits that are obscenities, gibberish, extremely poorly worded content, smart-aleck editorial comments, and other useless remarks that have nothing to do with the subject." I hardly think following the Wikipedia:Red link guidelines qualifies. swaq 15:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, so exactly what do you want me to do. Are you saying I should have used undo instead? No matter what way you go here, if you were to look at the article, all of the airlines are linked so undoing a random link should be considered vandalism. I will also note that your edits were also noticed by other editors and I happened to get there first. And as a final point, at least one of those articles has been rewritten and sourced to make it notable. So it is no longer a red link. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I think using undo would have been more appropriate. I could understand interpreting it as vandalism if I hadn't left an edit summary, but in my summary I stated they were deleted articles, so it wasn't like I picked random links to remove. I did notice that one of the articles was recreated. I'm not against my edits being reverted, but it would have been nice to have good faith assumed. swaq 20:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Airline codes-A‎

i noticed those two articles being delinked too. I added them to Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines/AFD Record, and I wonder if they should be undeleted. Yet another reason for getting some notability guidelines written out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 22:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

London City Airport

You have put a lock on London City Airport.

I want to show there is a BIAS from Wiki editors. For instance if you look at the "Stanstead airport" wiki page. There is a Section called "Opposition". Yet a similar section has not been allowed for London City Airport?

Clearly there is "bias" on the between editors?

For "London City Airport" - there is a Opposition Group called "Fight the Flights" who oppose the airport's expansion. So people who know nothing about the subject matter then remove it.

It would be nice if there is a link to the "Fight the Flights" web page (at the moment this is only a Blog). If they decide to get a .com it would help....

But I note for "Stanstead Airport" there is a link to the Stop Standstead Expansion.

So Wiki editors have to apply the "same" standard?

Please can you look into the matter.

I have heard the Airport has employed a PR company. So I don't know if the people who don't want a section called "Opposition" are associated with the PR company?

Go investigate.

I don't plan on further edits on London City Airport, but the page will be poorer for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.188.151 (talk) 23:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
