[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Purple Storm.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Singapore 2010 YOG
[edit]Hi Huaiwei. Just wanted to be courteous and let you know I reverted your deletions of the CBD images of Singapore. I agree that they are not perfect, but I think they are defininately relevant to the pages, particularly the 2010 YOG page. When we are closer to the Games, or if a enthusiastic Singapore Wikipedian can get better pics, we can certainly update them.
Incidently, I noticed you have been having some conflict over the entry of Singapore in the Olympics Template. I made a specific template for the YOG a few days ago which is on all the relevant pages. Naturally, it is the only city listed right now. I hope that works as a compromise for you. Cheers--Cbradshaw (talk) 04:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, Huaiwei. Thanks for your comments. I'm sorry we disagree. I respectfully disagree that it's just "any picture", because this is the city that won the bid. Certainly, the image of Singapore is very valuable to me, but do what you wish.
- As for the template, it is merely an adaptaion of the existing template, so if you find it poorly made, you're welcome to improve it. I will not merge it however, and I think the concensus I have read prefers a separate template. I do agree with you that the 2010 YOG should not be devalued "merely" because they are the Junior edition, but there was discussion at some length a few months ago that editors did not want the YOG cities listed on the main template. (Can't remember where though, maybe the Olympics project) If you have an issue with that, you may want to start another discussion. Cheers--Cbradshaw (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Singapore Changi Airport
[edit]Hi there! I'm trying to get this article back into a properly work edition as the "references" is in a complete mess now and I'm at a lost.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Purple Storm.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading Image:Purple Storm.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Please consider taking another look at this case. Ultimately, we all want the same thing; a better article...I understand that you feel the consensus at MedCab does not need to be upheld regardless of circumstances (after all, consensus can change), but from what I've seen, other parties are willing to abide by consensus if you will do so.

Movement of Hong Kong Olympic pages
[edit]Hi, please consider the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics/Archive 3#IOC designations, where we had consensus on the article names. The idea was to use the common name for nations where possible, especially where they match the main Wikipedia article name for the nation. Therefore, we have Libya at the 2004 Summer Olympics and not Libyan Arab Jamahiriya at the 2004 Summer Olympics and so on. In Hong Kong's case we agreed that simply using Hong Kong at the Olympics etc. was suitable, especially considering the main article for the territory is at Hong Kong. For now, I am going to re-rename the top-level article back to Hong Kong at the Olympics but keep the 2000-2006 article names unchanged, pending further discussion. Also, I do think your rename of Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China is entirely appropriate, so there is no need for discussion about that. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
FlagIOC template changes
[edit]I also noticed your change to {{flagIOC}}
to allow for variable country names, just as variable flag images are used. You did not make any changes to any of the other flagIOC
templates — was that an oversight, or intentional? They should really all behave the same way. Also note that I had to undo part of your changes to flagIOC
. You completely removed the name
parameter, yet it is used quite a bit. Again, was that intentional, or an oversight? Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Olympic page renaming
[edit]Hi, I noticed your changes to GHA and GUY — thanks for that! I think they are the only two historic nations that need that treatment. The other name changes (e.g. Ceylon→Sri Lanka, British Honduras→Belize, etc.) were also accompanied by code changes. Therefore, we already use CEY or SRI, or HBR or BIZ, depending on the year. Gold Coast and British Guiana pre-dated code usage, so that approach couldn't be used there. But thanks for taking care of that; one less thing for me to do today! — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Singapore Airlines
[edit]Hi! I think with regards to the page of Singapore Airlines, Russavia has a valid point there as all the other airlines in Asia has that same kind of infobox added whether we like it or not. We can be bold and unique but we can also be conformative at times too. -- Dave1185 (talk) 21:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well it is not the infobox which is the issue...it is the entry for "parent company" which caused a huge conflict a few months back. It only died down when someone else simply deleted that field out right, so if he wants to add it in again, than he is simply asking for trouble.--Huaiwei (talk) 21:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Parent company of Singapore Airlines
[edit]Huaiwei, your constant reverting of the verifiable parent company of Singapore Airlines being Temasek is unacceptable. I have addressed your revisions for the umpteenth time on the talk page, and for the umpteenth time you have chosen not to respond and have continued to ignore it, this is not acceptable, for none of us are about any of the WP policies. We use verifiable, reliable sources here on WP, we are not the unofficial PR organ for Singapore Airlines or Temasek or any other entity, whether they be Singaporean or non-Singaporean. I suggest that you check subsidiary and parent company, and learn what these terms mean, for when Singapore Airlines states in its annual report it is a subsidiary of Temasek, this can mean only one thing.....that Temasek is the parent company. Further reverting of this verifiable information will be reported and you can be sure that I will ensure that you will not be allowed to continue to operate like that. --Россавиа Диалог 08:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Resolved? I think not Huaiwei. Unless by resolved you mean that you completely ignore anything and everything that anyone else has to say, refuse to recognise reliable sources, and flat out refuse to recognise policies on verifiability, and continue to assert your ownership in doing so, then yes, it has been resolved. However, this is not the SingaporeAirlinesPRpedia or TemasekPRpedia, and it does not matter if Temasek doesn't state that it is the parent company of Singapore Airlines (hell, they don't even have a complete list of companies and shareholdings), it does matter that a multitude of reliable sources state that it is, and incredulously, many of these same sources are already referenced within the article. Additionally, as the airline is listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, this information is required to be disclosed, and this has been pointed out within various reports which have been referenced. Now one of two things is happening here. One, you don't know what the relationship between a subsidiary and parent company is, in which case, read those two articles, and if still not clear, then ask a wider audience for further assistance. Or two, you are doing this on purpose, whether that is to hide the fact that SIA is a government-controlled airline, being a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, or whatever reason is not important, but if it turns out you are doing this on purpose, this has caused me over 9 months of headaches and sheer frustration, and I will ensure that this will be reported; remember it can be noted there are other Singapore editors who have even noted that this information was missing. The choice is yours Huaiwei, ask for further assistance at your Singapore project if need be, but this is not a NPOV dispute, but a dispute over providing relevant, verifiable information from reliable sources (me) and removing verifiable information on false pretences (claiming that reliable sources such as Forbes and IHT are not reliable, although there is of course evidence that they are more than reliable for our purposes. --Россавиа Диалог 09:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Huaiwei
[edit]As a friend, please allow me to say this. With regards to issues on Singapore Changi Airport and Singapore Airlines, I think you really need to chill down a bit because you are seriously putting off a lot of people here, that doesn't include me because I work here, it doesn't matter what is being discussed online when I have real life schedules to meet whenever aircraft on ground (AOG) and I got to turn them around in the shortest possible time. Meaning, I don't like to talk shop after work but I do enjoy editing and improving on other articles here on wikipedia. It's a joy I really enjoyed and I hope you have not forget that kind of feeling since joining wiki. Cheers. -- Dave1185 (talk) 06:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- FYI, I am not condemning nor accusing you of any wrongdoings. Sure, I know what you mean but sometimes ownership issues of article can get in our way of perception, no doubt it is a good thing that we as Singaporeans take pride in the achievements of our nation but there has got to be a line drawn somewhere as to how best follow the wikipedia guidelines with regards to how an article is being written and presented. Your passion for defending articles/issues related to Singapore is unquestionable and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, one should also take note of other editors/users on wikipedia who wish to contribute. Look at the articles of SAR-21 and Ultimax 100, you would see what I mean... I wanted to contribute but there are a few overzealous being who continuously shoot down whatever I wrote just because they edit those articles and would not allow others to edit it. It is times like these that I felt that I could bring my full weight of my experience in the SAF to bear but after some thoughts I just said, forget about it! I moved on to the next subject or project, just as what I did to 125 Squadron, Republic of Singapore Air Force, 140 Squadron, Republic of Singapore Air Force, RAF Chia Keng, Pandan Gardens, Pulau Sakeng and Toa Payoh Police Division. Above all, we are all here to enjoy the wiki experience and not to make enemies but if stepping on a few toes is what it takes to make our stand then so be it. Thank you for reading, sincere regards and cheers. --Dave1185 (talk) 01:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Huaiwei, I think we can merged Changi Air Base (West) back with Changi Air Base and sub section the (West) part in there for better reference, I know it might look a wee bit confusing but once you read the header and sub section, it is pretty clear and precise. I mean, the base hasn't moved anywhere although it just had a change of name so I think we can better reflect it within the sub section part. Right? Please don't let me down on this. --Dave1185 (talk) 13:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AD2000screenshot1.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AD2000screenshot1.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit]You know, if you are not interested in seeking out more opinions from other editors, and wish to go ahead to make the changes despite no consensus from anywhere, and reason using biased/WP policies/bordering on WP:OWN etc.etc., and I quote your friend above: "you are seriously putting off a lot of people here", then go ahead and do what you deem fit; because you are seriously putting me off. (Before you go accuse me of doing the same when I made the initial changes, please assume good faith that I had genuinely expected that to be the correct name; thus the edits. As such you are free to revert them if you wish so; even if either name has yet to be proven to be the official one.) Any responses to this or in fact anywhere else, where I feel it redundant / useless to give you any form of reply, I will not be doing so. For that matter, do not expect any more responses from me about this issue. Last word: you would do better to prevent and be less involved in content disputes, 3RRs and editwars around WP. WP will be a better place without tons of such issues plaguing it. Best wishes - oahiyeel talk 15:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Singapore Airlines A380 Incident
[edit]The minor incident to the Singapore Airlines A380 (being pushed onto some grass by a tug) is not notable per WP:AIRPORTS guidelines, which state that:
Accidents or incidents should only be included if:
- The accident was fatal to either the aircraft occupants or persons on the ground.
- The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport.
- The accident invoked a change in procedures, regulations or process that had a wide effect on other airports or airlines or the aircraft industry.
These criteria were established through consensus to avoid cluttering airline and airport pages with minor non-notable incidents such as this which happen regularly across the world. Remember verifiability does not necessarily mean notability. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 08:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
SQ Fleet page
[edit](argument diverted from NcSchu's talk page) Yes, but what information is relevant? As people in the VS and VX AfDs have said, Wikipedia is not an aviation enthausiast site. You're indiscriminately adding information that lacks relevance or notability. It is not essential information. The amount of people that actually want to know information regarding airplane registrations and the history of those birds know what websites to go to, if people's posts on airliners.net is any indication. I don't see anything in the text part of that page that can't be presented in the main SQ page (which is need of serious clean-up, as there is too much information that doesn't need to be presented in that page, as well). If separate fleet pages and massive registration lists of current and previous aircraft was the norm, your "absolutely normal and essential argument" would work. But it isn't. And unless you can provide a reason why SQ is so special aside from your obsession with anything Singapore-related (something that your user page indicates), then you need to either back off or make similar pages for every airline in existence. Just as I have to either prove why VS and VX should have their fleet pages AfDs or AfD all such pages as other users have informed me, you need to do the same. Furthermore, until YOU start acting according to Wikipedia's policies, you are in no position to tell me what I'm not acting according to procedure (case in point: SQ's parent company). Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 16:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- In addition, here is a note from one of the SQ fleet AfDs: "The result of the debate was no consensus; keep. Standard disclaimer: This defaults to keep. Do not cite this alone as a reason to support/oppose a merge/redirect/whatever." In addition, in that same AfD, you talk about the feasibility of having similar pages for other airlines. You, being the main supporter of the SQ fleet page, have the main burden of seeing this feasibility through, just as I, being the main opposer of separate fleet pages, have the main burden of seeing that there are no exceptions, especially when WP:AIRLINES deems registrations irrelevant. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 16:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, actually, looking at previous AfDs and your own track record, I feel this is an issue I need to take up with you first. It is clear that you have a significant amount of invested personal interested in these articles. However, if you cannot provide a justifications of why SQ ought to be the exception (as you have failed to make it the rule), then there is no justification for the existence of a separate fleet page. The AfDs failed because no consensus was ever reached, not because the votes swung in favor of keeping the page. Refrain from referencing the AfDs. I am referencing WP:AIRLINES, something far more definitive than your AfD citations. You constantly state the registrations are not irrelevant. WHY are the relevant? Sure, they pertain to the history of the airline, but, as people on the other AfDs have said, actual existing databases for such information already exist, and Wikipedia is not meant to be such a database. I have even provided such a website. Once again, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate repository of information. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 18:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I actually have started a discussion. If you click on "discuss" in the merger proposal box, you'll be directed to the main SQ talk page where no one has responded. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 20:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Indonesian-Chinese Criminality Facts
[edit]I provided the newspaper link- it satisfies to Wikiepdeia guidelines well enough to be enough sufficient for many others' similar references for their Wikiepdia articles. There are a huge quanta of documentation supporting these facts- including Indonesian arrest warrants and extradition applications. Perhaps we should co-author a new topic on widespread Singaporean banking and financial irregularities- there are vast numbers of theses devoted to these topics? Although, I understand if you are Singaporean based- it's risky to criticise the (well-documented) incumbent corrupt Lee Kwan Yew regime- perhaps we can find a non-Singaporean based author to co-write?

Proposal to put Sompah MRT Station for AfD
[edit]Hi Huaiwei, I'd like to refer you to this Wikipedia_talk:SGpedians'_notice_board#Proposal_to_put_Sompah_MRT_Station_up_for_AfD. The details are in the link, but in summary, a user has created a page for Sompah MRT Station, which obviously doesn't exist and is spelled wrongly anyway. Although props to him for designing the page so that it looks like the rest of the MRT pages. I don't know the AfD procedure - I've tried putting it up for speedy, but it was overturned by another user, citing that my reason does not fit the criteria. I would gladly appreciate it if you could help out, or at least refer it to someone who knows how to handle these kind of things. 리지강.wa.au talk 18:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Singapore Olympic history
[edit]Thanks for starting to fill in the Category:Singapore at the Olympics articles! We need this kind of help for many nations. The best sources for this information are the official reports from each Games, downloadable here. You might also want to read "Singapore and Olympism" here, although that article is from 1980.
Note that in 1948, Lloyd Valberg was the lone competitor for Singapore (men's high jump) per the official report. Your source from the SNOC website shows four other names, but those are listed in the official report as all competing for China (ROC). Obviously, Singapore did not have complete teams in football and basketball.
- Chia Boon Leong - shown as "Chia, Boon-Leong"
- Chu Chee Seng - name not found as shown, but there is a "Chu, Wing-Keung" listed under China for football
- Ng Liang Chiang - shown as "Ng, Liang-Chian" for 400 m hurdles
- Chua Boon Lay - name not found as shown, but there is a "Chua, Bon-Hua" under China for basketball
So perhaps they were all Singapore-born but living in Taiwan? In any case, I don't think they should be listed on Singapore at the 1948 Summer Olympics in the same sense as Valberg. They should be removed, or perhaps listed under another section like "Singapore-born athletes competing for the Republic of China", or something.

Apologies
[edit]I offer my apologies for being immature and abrasive. I have no ill will against you or any fellow complainant- I fully support your freedom of speech, opinion and association- and though many others within SE Asia do not enjoy such intellectual liberties- I along with Voltaire feel it means allowing defending others' right to shout in your face what you find most offensive. I hope we may put this matter behind us, agree to disagree as civil gents and move on. Buddha was right- life is too short for bitching.
In all honesty- I was being sincere in inviting you and others to collaborate if in future I am involved in a future article concerning Indonesian-based white-collar fraud and money laundering in Singapore- it was not a backhanded disguised insult- I would value yours and others input and expert opinion (though I personally may vehemently disagree) to together create an indisputably neutral POV article.Starstylers (talk) 09:44, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:True Files Lee Kim Lai 1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:True Files Lee Kim Lai 1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jpatokal (talk) 04:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Dates
[edit]Hi. I've noticed you've been editing dates on F1 GP races. Please do not continue.
- A Grand Prix is only on the Sunday of the weekend. The other two days are practice and qualifying. (For example, the 2008 Spanish Grand Prix was on April 27, not April 25-27).
- Date links are useful. Don't remove them.
- Finally, these pages have already established a pattern of month,date. Maintaining that on the page is best for continuity. It's hard for me too. I'm from Australia and here its date,month.
Cheers. Apterygial (talk) 10:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Huaiwei. As you surely aware of, I reversed all your edits regarding this (date) issue (besides the last one [and also the template that I don't want to mess with] to show you, that my intention is not to start an edit-war at all). I didn't meant to be rude at all doing so, just to clarify, but I want to ask you politely NOT to go ahead again making these bold edits since they are a major change that you might want to propose first and maybe file an RFC in that matter. This change would effect all entries back to the 1950 F-1 season. I'll give you more input on my thoughts about this tomorrow. On the side I would like to let you know that I'm personally used to both date settings, so my intention is not to make it all American no matter what. I think you have a good point for the change but we cannot just dismiss established long-term consensus with a "finger-snap". Regards, --Floridianed (talk) 02:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

- I have to say I agree with you, Huaiwei, about F1 being predominantly european and hence date,month would seem the better course. But as Floridianed said that would be a lot of dates to change (right the way back to 1950). So at this stage (and probably forever) we just adhere to the MoS: Retaining the existing format: If an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the whole article should conform to it, unless there are reasons for changing it on the basis of strong national ties to the topic.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dbs logo.gif)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Dbs logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Please take care
[edit]Huaiwei, I have a very bad news for you... this message is to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Your track record of fifteen 3RR incident and long list of impolite outburst (aka thinking out loud) will work against you in this case this time. My suggestion is for you to control yourself, failing which you might face the possibility of leaving Wikipedia on a long long vacation to cool down and think things through before you are allowed to return again to edit and contribute. Thus far, it has been a privilege to work with you on a few articles so I hope you would take heed of my advice and focus on the content instead of the contributors. Cheers! ...Dave1185 (talk) 05:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
If you got spare time, please go update the above article. Cheers~! ...Dave1185 (talk) 17:23, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

SIA lead
[edit]Nice to see you again Huawei. In regards to the lead of the SIA article, I linked to Wikipedia:LEAD#Relative_emphasis for a reason. Instead of picking out a few words, read the entire thing, and put it into perspective.
In general, the relative emphasis given to material in the lead should reflect its relative importance to the subject according to reliable sources. Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article, although specific facts, such as birthdates, titles, or scientific designations will often appear in the lead only, as may certain quotations. This should not be taken to exclude information from the lead, but to include it in both the lead and body: in a well-constructed article, the relative emphasis given to information in the lead will be reflected in the rest of the text. Do not tease the reader by hinting at startling facts without describing them. Avoid lengthy paragraphs and over-specific descriptions, especially if they are not central to the article as a whole.
The statement that SIA is accredited with IOSA is not covered nor mentioned in the article at all, and its importance in the overall article is not reflected. It's something like one would see on the bottom of press release. Let me show you. This information is placed at the bottom of every Aeroflot press release:
Aeroflot – is one of the oldest air companies and one of the most famous commercial brands in the world. Company was founded in 1923, its headquarters in Moscow, in international airport of Sherem’etevo. In 2006 Aeroflot became the first Russian air company to be part of a global alliance SkyTeam. United destination network of the alliance consists of 728 destinations in 149 countries, which in turn offers to the passengers of Aeroflot limitless variety of choice. Clients of Aeroflot are also eligible for bonus programs of all partners of the alliance. Information of the advantages of participation in the alliance SkyTeam – on the website www.skyteam.com.
Aeroflot is the only certified operator of international aviation standards of operational safety IATA (International Air Travel Association) Operational Safety Audit in Russia.
On the website www.aeroflot.ru it is possible to purchase tickets for Aeroflot flights with the use of on-line payments, technology of electronic ticket, and to find out more about the air company.
You suggested that I take it to the talk page. Why on earth would I waste my time doing that? When I introduced only to have you remove, as another editor put it, one of the best sourced facts on Wikipedia. Why would this be any different?
But then, as now, I have an ever relevant policy for you to look at. And we'll throw in a couple of other guidelines, This and This, to boot, and hopefully you will take them in.
I'm off to things which are more stimulating than banging my head against a brick wall. Have a nice day. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 16:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) dispute
[edit]You reverted the removal of a dispute tag from the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) page, but did not provide any specifics as to what is still disputed. If no one knows what the dispute is about, we can't discuss it or ever hope to conclude. If you are disputing the article, please provide specifics on the discussion page.
