About LDLO

Hello, Zyxw. Could I persuade you to change the target of LDLO from Lošinj Airport to Lowest published lethal dose, a.k.a. Lethal Dose (Lowest)? By the way, that's a really pretty island. Is it a resort, or just one of those things? Yappy2bhere (talk) 17:26, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In response to your request, please feel free to change the redirect at LDLO. I don't see any problem with it since Lowest published lethal dose already a hatnote that mentions the redirect and provides a link Lošinj Airport. To answer your other question, I'm not really familiar with the island or the airport; I created the redirect to filling in some missing redirects for ICAO airport codes. -- Zyxw (talk) 07:00, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IATA code

You removed YAH as La Grande-4 Airport's IATA code. I believe you, but before I remove it from other pages that point there, I'd like to know where you got the information. Is it from the Canada Flight Supplement? Is there a reliable online source for IATA codes? I couldn't find one at http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/aircraft_operations/codes/index and the external links at IATA Airport Code gave me some but not other codes listed at WP. I don't know what to trust. Galatee (talk) 16:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The IATA charges a fee for an official list of IATA location identifiers; as per this page it costs $1,100 (US) for a one time web download. Because of that I use secondary sources for IATA codes; one I have found to be quite accurate is the Aviation Safety Network. When I edited La Grande-4 Airport back in July 2007, I was checking the IATA codes for Canadian airport articles; those found at ASN had links added, those not found were removed until a reference could be found. Due to your question I checked another secondary source, UN/LOCODE (United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations). Their 2009 list for Canada contains YAH, with a "4" in the function column indicating "airport" and "AI" in the status column meaning a "code adopted by international organization (IATA or ECLAC)". Therefore, I have updated the article to show IATA: YAH, with a reference to the UN/LOCODE list. -- Zyxw (talk) 06:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Very thorough. Yes, I should've said "couldn't find a free one" at iata.org, and quite accurate secondary sources will definitely do. Galatee (talk) 14:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

coord template

Thanks for providing coordinates for Fukue Island and others. I just want to point out the correct type code for islands is type:isle not type:island. I don't know why; that's just the way it is. Keep up the good work. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 05:18, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder about the {{coord}} template using type:isle, not type:island. I should have remembered that since I updated some documentation on those types, but that was quite a while ago. -- Zyxw (talk) 08:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of galleries

Hi there. I've reverted your gallery additions to the Dracaena article. Those are more appropriate for Wikimedia Commons. Please see the image use policy and note that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate repository of images. Info about cultivars is better described by using words and illustrated by occasional photos. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 18:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For your work on Indonesian regency articles - it is a constant problem of either finding articles with Indonesian language and insufficient english translation or vice versa - your systematic help is appreciated Satu Suro 05:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing the work I did there. -- Zyxw (talk) 13:32, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Airports

Hi. I noticed your work on Tela Airport and thought how much better the infoboxes look with maps. I've recently added maps to like Cardiff Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport etc. I wondered if you could help add 280 px maps to other airport articles? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 11:47, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. I started adding the location maps to the infoboxes of smaller airport articles that had no images. I do sometimes also add a map if there is just one image. However, for larger airport articles with multiple images, sometimes the location map adds too much clutter to the infobox. I will continue to add them as come across airport articles that need updating for other reasons. -- Zyxw (talk) 13:32, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add infoboxes for the Algeciras Heliport and Ceuta Heliport the same way you had for Yongphulla Airport.

Thanks. --RaviC (talk) 12:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As per your request, I have added infoboxes to the articles for Ceuta Heliport and Algeciras Heliport. -- Zyxw (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation formatting

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I removed the periods you put at the ends of the sentences on the page Franklin Field (disambiguation). Per WP:DDD periods are supposed to be absent from disambiguation pages. No big deal. Sumsum2010 · Talk · Contributions 22:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating Franklin Field (disambiguation). I must have edited that before I became familiar with MoS:DAB. I started checking some of the other airport disambiguation pages and saw that you already fixed those as well, so thanks again. -- Zyxw (talk) 15:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. That image was used in an airport article. Since you replaced it with the same logo which you uploaded as an .svg image (File:San Jose International Airport Logo.svg), I don't see any reason to keep the now orphaned .png image. -- Zyxw (talk) 00:19, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eureka Airport (Nevada)

Just curious why you removed the ICAO of P68 from Eureka Airport? A quick Google search shows the association between the ID and airport seems to be correct. Famartin (talk) 05:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed KP68 from Eureka Airport (Nevada) because it is not the airport's ICAO location indicator. If an airport in the 48 contiguous United States is assigned an ICAO location indicator, it is always the letter K followed by the 3-character FAA location identifier (05U for Eureka Airport). As for P68 (or KP68) showing up in Google searches, that appears to be an ID used by the National Weather Service for the Eureka Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), not for the airport. -- Zyxw (talk) 04:42, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Website tag removed for Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (ASE)

I noticed that you recently edited the info-box on the page for Aspen-Pitkin County Airport and removed the "website" URL. Is that on purpose? The URL still seems to be valid.

Nicolai Henriksen (talk) 06:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the missing URL in the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport infobox. I would have only done that intentionally if it was not the airport's official website, which is not the case here. This must have been a cut/paste error on my part, so I have restored that link. -- Zyxw (talk) 06:54, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Extra '*' in list of airports by IATA code for 'VEX'?

Is it safe to assume that in List of airports by IATA code: V you have accidentally added a star '*' in front of the IATA code for 'VEX' ?

Nicolai Henriksen (talk) 12:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and I just fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out. -- Zyxw (talk) 12:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing Template:Location map USA Alaska and updating the documentation to explain how the X and Y values are calculated.

Hi, All the external links you added to this article that go to Airservices Australia are now broken and I can't really make heads or tails of their website; I get access denied errors whenever I try to do anything.
