Bugatti engine

Hi Pinot, great article. If you don't mind I will format it to how most of the aircraft engine articles appear on WP. We have a friendly engine task force going that definitely needs more help, if you feel like dropping by the project page is at WP:AETF and the chat is at WT:AETF, cheers.

Tunnel 3 on the Moutohora Branch

Per the photo on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moutohoratunnel3.jpg the currently understood status of this tunnel is that it is "unsafe to walk through and should not be entered". Are you able to confirm this is the actual Tunnel 3 or another of the tunnels? PatrickDunfordNZ (talk) 23:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re Tunnel 3

Hi Pat - I can confirm it's tunnel 3, at the southern end of the part of the line that's been turned into the walkway. When I was there early in January this year (2010) the tunnel appeared to have been recently cleared and incorporated into the host farm's animal and vehicle circulation system. The image in the article shows the southern portal, and you can see where the vegetation has been cleared off down to ground level. Re safety - in the long ago I used to work underground in Australian mines, and through habit keenly inspected the back (that is, the 'roof' of the tunnel) before entering, and it looked fine to me - or I wouldn't have gone through it.

DYK for Project Loon

On 22 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Project Loon, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Project Loon (research balloon pictured) is a project by Google to send thousands of high-altitude balloons into the stratosphere to beam wireless Internet to remote locations worldwide? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Project Loon. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for June 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of reduplicated New Zealand place names, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Mimi, Matata and Takaka (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
