Here are my talk threads:

Removal of PROD from Isthmian-Atlantic moist forest

Hello Airplaneman, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Isthmian-Atlantic moist forest has been removed. It was removed by ThaddeusB with the following edit summary '(remove prod - history has been merged - will cleanup shortly)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with ThaddeusB before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)[reply]

OK. I'm fine with it. I'll tell Thaddeus. All good. Airplaneman ^talk 01:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

dePRODing of articles

Hello Airplaneman, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD templates you added to a number of articles were removed:

PROD removed from Oren Harari, by User:Iridescent, with summary '(Five major books, and you say he's "not notable"? Deletion definitely declined; take it to AFD if you want.)'
PROD removed from Pherai (Parthia), by User:Iridescent, with summary '(Deprod. Take it to AFD if you want)'

Please consider discussing your concerns with the relevant users before pursuing deletion further. If you still think the articles should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may send them to WP:AfD for community discussion. Thank you - SDPatrolBot (talk) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

Adam Lambert straw poll on including/removing "Order #" and "Results" columns from the performances section

Hi, this may seem rather trivial but I'm trying to gauge community consensus on including or removing "Order #" and "Results" columns from the performances section on the Adam Lambert article which you have been in some way recently involved. The poll is here. Your time is appreciated. -- Banjeboi 21:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

Hello. I noticed that your sig has some invalid CSS in it. The "size=2" part doesn't do anything. --- RockMFR 01:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. Is it because Wikipedia's default font size is 2? Airplaneman ^talk 06:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I might not respond swiftly; I'm on vacation. Airplaneman ^talk 06:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Romance on PJ

I think we could probably add it to the article. What do you think? Thanks! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 17:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead! It's definitely better than the current one. Remember, Wikipedia's a work in progress. Regards, Airplaneman ^talk 06:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 20:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

From User:Ikip

Hello Ikip, I'm Airplaneman. Nice to meet you. I stumbled upon your talk page after clicking link after link after link away from 7's current RfA. I was wondering if I could use your "Please don't bite the newcomers" banner on my talk page. Thanks; see you around Wikipedia! Airplaneman ^talk 19:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Ikip (talk) 20:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Airplaneman ^talk 20:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy editing, have a wonderful weekend. take care. Ikip (talk) 20:45, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Warrior Heir etc.

Have you read Cinda Williams Chima's Warrior Heir, Wizard Heir, and Dragon Heir? I'm thinking about starting articles for them, but I would really love to partner with someone more experienced and I have no idea where to start! Thanks! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 20:47, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I haven't. I think the best approach is to start the articles in your sandbox or by creating a user subpage and then create the pages when the time is right. I can do some research and or read the books. That way, you can just really start by jotting down information. I can help you organize the info and stuff. What'll really be a challenge is to make sure the articles have references. I love article building and can't wait to get started! Airplaneman ^talk 20:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great! I definately have the most trouble with the details of it. I can write an article and research info, but organizing it and trying to follow all the Wiki guidelines is what catches me. If you wanted to do some of that you probably wouldn't even have to read the books! I probably won't start today, but it will be sometime soon. Thanks! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 20:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so are you going to start them all in your sandbox or by creating subpages for each one? Let me know when you begin! Airplaneman ^talk 21:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you

Do you work for the competition ? lol My posting was no different from the other papers. Sai99 (talk) 02:46, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you must know, I don't work for the competition. I'm a Wikipedia volunteer, sacrificing some of my own time to help improve this encyclopedia. Please specify which other papers you were mentioning. Regards, Airplaneman ^talk 03:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your participation in my recent RfA. I will do my very best not to betray the confidence you have shown me. If you ever have any questions or suggestions about my conduct as an administrator or as an editor please don't hesitate to contact me. Once again, thanks. ·Maunus·ƛ· 13:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you'll be a fine admin :). Congratulations! Regards, Airplaneman ^talk 16:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hi, and welcome to the Aviation WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to aviation.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box and review alerts are updated frequently. You can watchlist them (announcements/alerts) if you're interested; or, you can add them directly to your user page by including {{WPAVIATION Announcements}} or {{WPAVIATION Review alerts}} there.
Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, and project-wide collaboration.
We have a number of child projects and task forces that focus on specific topics and aircraft types.
We're developing a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
Challenge yourself, and pit your editing skills against others in the project's Contest.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the experienced project members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 04:45, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to improve yourself!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 05:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
