Edmonton expert!

Hi, thank you very much indeed for your post at Wikipedia talk:Notability (books). I've replied there, asking a few things based on what you said, if you're interested in expanding your comments.

Principally, however, I'm really pleased to find someone who knows about CKT in real life, and has access to Edmonton newspapers. The article Cheryl Kaye Tardif really needs more independent references. If it comes up for deletion again, it might well not survive (I'm not bothered personally, but that's hardly the point). So if you are up for it, I'd urge you to contribute what you know and can reference to this article.

Very many thanks, and happy wiki-ing :-) JackyR | Talk 12:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. Have you had any luck with CKT material? Do you think you might in the future? I ask because I shall (one day) get round to working on Cheryl Kaye Tardif to make it conform more closely to WP:V,, WP:RS, etc. That could mean the article shrinks to an unkeepable state, or have no claim of notability. I'd rather not do that if you'll soon have adequate reference material. Cheers, JackyR | Talk 14:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'm in Calgary now, but I used to live in Edmonton (and in Yellowknife). I just thought that what was being said was a bit US-centric. Sorry I didn't get back to you before - I had gotten a few abusive messages and was ignoring them. Sorry! --Charlene.fic 01:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Your question

Greetings. I responded to your question here. Bear in mind that there is already an article on the RMS Empress of Ireland. You may want to expand that article instead. All the best, – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 14:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Button Gwinnett

I was perusing the AfD page and saw that you pulled out a Button Gwinnett reference. Kudos to you, you've made my evening. Cheers. L0b0t 01:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! God, that woman is rude. (bangs head against wall) --Charlene.fic 02:27, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

"Heavy" in aviation callsigns

The AIM page you cite does indeed say that B757 aircraft are treated as heavy for wake turbulence avoidance purposes, but seems to say that they don't use the word "heavy" in their callsigns. This matches my (admittedly, not so recent) experience: they may get heavy aircraft separation, but they don't use "heavy" on the air. Have you heard differently, or have a more concise reference?

Proposed guideline

Hi Charlene.fic, I noticed you edited the notable commercial accident/incident list. Since you seem to be interested in the topic, would you mind looking at and commenting on our proposed guideline for it? It would be very much appreciated if you do. Thanks, Crum375 22:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Charlene,

I'm Gordon (UtzChips) I am new to wikipedia. I caught your vote on the Brad Hines entry. It wasn't an ad, Hines has been in the press numerous times for his work and contributions to society, he recently donanted an art club to McGill University for example. Also, I got your point about everyone being known to someone, but at the exact same time, do you think you know the name of everyone notable in the world?

Here's a fun example I just came up with, have you honestly heard of all three of these people: Otto Lilienthal, Ferdian Piech, and Keith Haring? (Three random people who no doubt have entries on wikipedia.) I would be super impressed if you have! Anyway, if you read about domain name investing sometime, you'll see it's a billion dollar industry already still in its infancy, there's little material on it here on wikipedia but it's growing fast, Hines is kind of at the forefront of it. Could we discuss this further so I could convince you the entry is worth of a "Keep" vote? Let me know.

Kindly, Gordon Brown (Utz)--Utzchips 04:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
