Hi. I just created Template:Airlines of the United States and wanted to know if you thought it was a good idea and also whether you had any edits you think should be made to it. Lots of other countries have such a template, so I think it's in good form, but I still think it could use some work. I'm also wondering also whether it should be split to continental US and Alaska only airline templates, as Alaska in particular has a lot of little airlines, many of which have no articles to their name. Anyway, let me know what you think, or just edit away. Or if this isn't up your alley, then nevermind. :) Thanks. --Allstar8607:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. I'm just hoping someone will create the missing articles for those small airlines in Alaska which provide scheduled passenger service. If anyone is interested, here's a partial list taken from the Essential Air Service article (also, a few of these are missing from your template):
That page was intentionally deleted because it was turned into the category. It wasn't an AfD and there's no reason you can't recreate it... but, I just wanted to let you know. grenグレン03:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I am adding a navigation box to all the articles titled List in people in <state> and noticed that only Delware and South Dakota did not have such a list. -- 03:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for mentioning my proposed new airport infobox template at Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Airports/Infobox #Infobox overhaul. I planned on starting a new topic there to gauge the interest in using it, but got sidetracked with other projects. It was only after your message on my talk page that I realized it has been 11 days since I moved it from my User space to Template: Infobox Airport. Guess it's time I headed over to that WikiProject page and posted a message. Thanks also for the suggested improvements which I'll attempt to add to the template. -- Zyxw13:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I had seen it some time ago but figured you wanted to work on it some more, so didn't mention it. It was only when it came up in the discussion I that I thought it better discuss it than start a third one. The Template:Infobox Weather is the one that allows for the metric/imperial switch. Cheers.

Images listed for deletion
Some of your images or media files have been listed for deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion if you are interested in preserving them.
I needed to get the image, with caption, in at a reasonable size so I used your new template. I like the way that it does not automatically link the location/serves as it leaves more scope for multiple links. One odd thing I noticed is I can't get the statistics to show up. If you look at Toronto Pearson International Airport you can see what I mean. It would be good to have that available as an optional part of the box as several airports have it tacked on to the bottom. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)09:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Zyxw,
I've been trying out your template examples at Template:Navbox_generic/doc and would like some advice/help. My templates are at User:Ctbolt/RAAF4. What I want to do is to have my list within the Navbox left aligned so it is easier to view. In "{{Navbox generic" I couldn't work out how to left align the list however in your examples "{| border=0 class="navbox collapsible"" I could. However, I'm having trouble setting the state to collapsed and the colour to 'lightsteelblue'. Can you help? thanks - Ctbolt03:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In reply to your question about {{Navbox generic}} and making the list items left-aligned in User:Ctbolt/RAAF4, I looked at your template right after you asked and noticed you figured it out a few minutes later in this edit. There is still one small bit of code remaining from converting the table to a template: on the line that starts with |text-align = left|list1 =, you can remove |text-align = left. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. – Zyxw17:39, 18 March 2007 (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.
As per your request, I've updated {{Infobox Airport}} to support a new line labeled Owner/Operator. Take a look at London Gatwick Airport to see it in use. If you specify a value for the new owner-oper parameter, the infobox displays that and ignores the current owner and operator parameters. -- Zyxw02:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...I think your addition of the even/odd styling to some Navbox instances works well, at least in those I've seen so far – thanks for your work! Best wishes, David Kernow(talk)19:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings, you moved Salem Municipal Airport, McNary Field, from commercial air service to general aviation on the List of airports in Oregon. This was done stating that airport does not have 2500 passenger boardings per year. Can you explain why an airport that will be having Part 121 Commercial Air Service in four weeks and carries a Part 139 certificate does not qualify as commercial service other then the number of enplanements? thanks, -Trashbag19:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I changed McNary Field back to "GA" (general aviation) on the List of airports in Oregon because the Role column is based on the airport categories defined in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) Report for 2007-2011 [1]. According to the FAA, "commercial service airports are defined as public airports receiving scheduled passenger service and having 2,500 or more enplaned passengers per year". [2] This is then further broken down into "Primary" (10,000+ enplanements per year) and "Non-Primary" (2,500 to 10,000 enplanements per year). There are a number of airports in the U.S. which have scheduled commercial airline service but do not meet this requirement. One example is Ogdensburg International Airport in New York which has scheduled service via Delta Connection, but is classified as "GA" because it only had 2,078 enplanements in 2005. Hope that answers your question. -- Zyxw20:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the bullets used as separators between the list items in Template:PiHKAL, I took a look and added the only one I found missing, between Ortho-DOT and Proscaline. To answer your question, the simplest way to add a bullet would be to copy one that's already there and then paste it where you want it. You could also add one by placing • where you want the bullet to appear. -- Zyxw21:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Zyxw. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Dfw brand.gif) was found at the following location: User:Zyxw/Infobox Airport. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk02:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This image was used in the infobox of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport article until a recent edit removed it. The image has been restored to that article and the image summary updated to show it is "fair use" to illustrate the airport article. The page in my user space that contained it has been removed. The only other page using this image is Template:Infobox Airport/doc since the DFW airport infobox is used as one of the examples. The image on that page can be replaced if needed. -- Zyxw17:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thanks a lot for improving that template. I created it because it was needed, but templates are really not something I'm good at. It looks so much better now. --W.marsh14:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I found all those templates, and decided to work up the Washington one. Would you wanna check it out before I officially make it? It's in my sandbox here. Cheers! Murderbike03:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:HNH-a.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. MECU≈talk17:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Non-free use disputed for Image:Logo-armee-de-lair.jpg
This file may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading Image:Logo-armee-de-lair.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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.
Thanks for fixing that. I can't believe I missed an entire runway. I was taking shortcuts and forgot to check out the sat images. Can you look at this version of Gardner Airport and see if you know which one the editor was talking about. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)16:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As for "display=inline", it's documented at Template:Coord#Usage. I came across this new template in this edit to Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Airport Infobox which said to use "display=inline,title". I removed ",title" because it was causing the coordinates to appear above the infobox, when the consensus for airport articles was not to do that. Since "display=inline" is the default, it looks like it can just be omitted entirely... I'll run a test on that and change the documentation if it works.
Thanks. I have noticed the hCard format and have experimented with those using the Operator (extension) for Firefox. As for your first question, yes, {{Infobox Celebrity}} could be deprecated and redirected to {{Infobox Person}}. There are only three slight differences in the display: Celebrity places the name above the box, defaults image_size to 220px and uses right aligned field headings, while Person places the name inside the box, defaults image_size to 225px and uses left-aligned field names. -- Zyxw06:59, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your recent, very helpful, edits towards the latter goal. I'm not sure whether the final template should be called ...person or ...biography. I'm going to raise that, and the general idea of a merge on the "project biography" talk page. Andy Mabbett09:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I cannot really tell why, but photos have disappeared from the infobox in a number of article (see Tudor Arghezi). If this is related to recent changes, could you please correct it? Thank you. Dahn15:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. Would you please answer my query above? I find the changes in the template very hard to trace, and I cannot understand where the error occurred. If this is indeed because of the recent changes, could I trouble you to see why and where, and could I ask of you that you make sure such changes do not harm the infoboxes in the future (or, at least, tell me what changes I should make in to those infoboxes)? Thank you, and looking forward to a reply. Dahn16:26, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted Zyxw's edits to the template rather than leave all those broken pages out there. If Zyxw comes back they can fix it themselves. --Jaibe21:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mea culpa. I had removed a trailing vertical bar from [[Image:{{{image}}}|{{{imagesize|200px}}}| ]], which prevented the image from displaying if the imagesize parameter appeared without a value ( imagesize= ). I did review my changes by checking some articles using the infobox, but never saw any that had this problem.
After becoming aware of the problem, I started checking ALL the 2000+ articles using this template. In the first 1000 or so checked, only about 40 articles had been affected (and those were fixed when my edits were reverted).
There is another problem which existed before my edits: using imagesize without a value displays the image at its native resolution, expanding the infobox if width is larger than 250px. For an example, see Jonathan Coe.
Back in June I started fixing the affected articles to include the actual image width if smaller than the default of 200px (the original intent of the imagesize parameter). I will get back to this project shortly and once I've gone through the remaining articles I will update the template to use the default width when the imagesize parameter is omitted or blank.
I noticed that your last edit to this template (in May) breaks the template when it is collapsed, displaying a big chunk of raw code instead of virtually disappearing. It's find in its expanded state. Could you take a look at it and see what is wrong? Thanks. Horologiumt-c15:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. In response to your recent message, I looked at this template using three different Windows browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera) but could not replicate the problem you had with it not displaying properly when collapsed. If that problem continues to appear, please feel free to revert my edits. -- Zyxw09:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, truly bizarre. I just checked, and the problem seems to have disappeared. My apologies. I don't know what the problem was yesterday, as I checked on several pages, and the template had the same issue on all of them. Horologiumt-c14:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I was thinking that if any other countries use a non-ICAO code then they can be added and linked to their regulatory agency. I was just trying to figure if I can use AutoWikiBrowser to update the infobox at the same time as I do the airport codes. Ah, just clicked on save and see that you also updated the documentation. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)16:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Re this. I started using the other template after I'd done about 100+. Once I get finished I'll start over and do the ones I missed. Also I got AWB set up to replace the infobox and I'll do the CY & CZ airports after I finish the non-ICAO ones. I was wondering, are you familiar with "regex"? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)01:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your comment: this edit only done because in the prior edit I added the IATA code but forgot to update the template. I have noticed that you are updating all the Canadian airports via AWB, so I've only edited those articles for other reasons (at the moment that is primarily related to adding or correcting IATA codes). And in answer to your question: I'm familiar with regex but by no means an expert. I'm registered to use AWB and have experimented with it. -- Zyxw01:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the CAQ3 LID from Vancouver Harbour as the CFS lists it as the Coal Harbour ID. I think that the great circle mapper made the error on the names as the Vancouver Harbour is also called the "Coal Harbour" and the "Coal Harbour Water Aerodrome" is on Vancouver Island. I used a different reference for the IATA. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)20:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CRW_logo.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. Videmus Omnia03:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Im sending you a request. I've look over the deletion of Kirk Fraser, The original article had the incorrect spelling of his last name. Check out the (http://www.answers.com/topic/kirk-frasier) the article is still wrong. We originally created a new page on Wikipedia with the correct spelling and paste the content from Wikipedia with the incorrect spelling of Frasier. It was shortly deleted, we once again created it again, and it was also deleted. We don't know what to do. It seems like once it's up it taken down again, when it was originally put up by some one else. We just wanted to change the spelling of the Last name and fix the content that was wrong. Can you please help me in guiding me to correct this issue. Thanks.

Not sure what to tell you on this. Some people nominate articles for deletion if they feel is it not about a notable person or topic. The first paragraph of Meta:Deletionism describes this as follows:
Deletionism is a philosophy held by some Wikipedians that favors clear and relatively rigorous standards for accepting articles, templates or other pages to the encyclopedia. Wikipedians who broadly subscribe to this philosophy are more likely to request that an article that they believe does not meet such standards be removed, or deleted. Conversely, Wikipedians who believe that there ought to be a place for an article on almost any topic in Wikipedia, and that there should be few or no standards barring an article from it, are said to subscribe to inclusionism.
I saw that you are the creator of the newer airport infobox template. I started a discussion on the WP:AIRPORT talk page about what to do about having two different infoboxes. Personally, I think we should switch all articles to your template, as it works better, looks better, and other people seem to like it as well. But there has been no official talk about switching, so I started one. If you have any comments, please reply to my post on the talk page link provided. Thanks. --Pilotboi | talk14:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads up. I agree that {{Infobox Airport}} should be the recommended template for adding new infoboxes, since it does everything the old template did and incorporates a number of suggested improvements. Regarding a massive conversion of the older infoboxes, I posted a comment here. -- Zyxw08:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you know what you're doing when it comes to templates, so I was hoping you would be able to answer my question. For a template such as Template:Mets, although it is set that a player's name is bolded in the box when it appears on his article page, this does not work when the article name does not exactly match the player's name, like for Joe Smith (baseball) or David Wright (baseball). It does, however, work for Howard Johnson (baseball player) even though it should run into the same issue. Any ideas how to make it work for everyone? Thanks. -- Amazins490 (talk) 03:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This problem is caused by redirected links in the {{Mets}} template. For the name to appear in bold on the player's page, the link in the template needs to match the exact page name. For example, Howard Johnson is in the template as [[Howard Johnson (baseball player)|Howard Johnson]] and Howard Johnson (baseball player) is the correct page name. However, Joe Smith is in the template as [[Joe Smith (baseball player)|Joe Smith]], but Joe Smith (baseball player) is a redirect to the actual page Joe Smith (baseball). I'll go through the template and fix these. -- Zyxw14:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info. I have fixed the helipads header so that "m" (meters) is displayed before "ft" (feet) if metric-rwy is set, just like the runways header. I also updated the template documentation to give an example which includes the helipads header in "metric first" format. -- 19:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Problem with this template. I like that it now collapses and gives you the option to "show" or "hide" but in the "show" option it wipes out the bottom portion of the page. This happens on all the team pages. Is this a problem with the browser or the box or just me? Thanks.69.68.238.14218:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE - When in "show" mode, it seems to wipe out all other templates. On the Kinston Indians page, I moved this template to the bottom of the templates and it seemed to solve the problem. Still wouldn't mind to see if this can be fixed though for the rest of the pages affected.69.68.238.14219:09, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The problem of clicking [show] on a collapsed navigation box "wiping out" the contents below the box appears to a browser-related issue. I looked at Kinston Indians (revision as of 17:49, 27 July 2007) and found that Template:Cleveland Indians expanded properly when using Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Opera 9 and Safari 3 on Windows XP. I was only able to replicate this problem when using Internet Explorer 6 and even then it only happened when I was not logged in. This problem also occurs on other pages with a mix of collapsible and non-collapsible navigation boxes, such as Columbus Blue Jackets. One solution I found was a combination of placing the non-collapsible boxes first and making the collapsible boxes use the full width of the page.
When I made all the baseball team navigational boxes collapsible I also made them full width, but my changes were all reverted by another editor who didn't like the templates full width (see this diff for user's name and comments). Therefore, as a compromise, I added an optional "width" parameter so the templates could be made full width on specific pages as needed. -- Zyxw02:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding {{Historical currencies of Hungary}}, normally all it would take to convert the template is changing "Dynamic navigation box" to "Navbox generic" and "body" to "list1". For some reason which I haven't had time to explore, Navbox generic would not properly display the embedded wiki table markup, so I converted it to HTML.
Before:
{{!-}}
{{!}} '''Coins'''
{{!}}style="border-left:1px #aaaaaa solid;"{{!}} [[Coins of the Austro-Hungarian gulden{{!}}coins]]
...
After:
<tr>
<td>'''Coins'''
<td style="border-left:1px #aaa solid;">[[Coins of the Austro-Hungarian gulden|coins]]

Hello. I'm using the Infobox Writer here and there but I've noticed certain limitations of it. In the article Bruno Maddox I have to put his sister under the parents parameter. Would you be able to fix this problem? Is Infobox Writer the way to go anyways? I've noticed you guys fixing up Infobox Person which is why I ask.-BillDeanCarter03:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The confusion is probably because the current implementation of {{Infobox Writer}} has a parameter named relations which is displayed with the label of Parents. I can fix this, but first want to finish another project related to some of my prior edits there that had caused a problem (see #Infobox Writer above). And while {{Infobox Person}} does provide more fields for relatives, you'd lose use the writer-specific fields found in {{Infobox Writer}} (such as the debut_works field that you are using in the Bruno Maddox article). -- Zyxw06:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contribution to Oakes Municipal Airport. I am from Oakes and started the article but didn't know what to put in it beside the sentence I wrote. Your contribution makes it a much more informative article. -AndrewBuck19:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can you make a change to the documentation. It turns out the infobx must have "display=inline,title" or it's not picked up by Google Earth and many airports have already vanised for it. I would have done it but I didn't want to end up with multiple title coordinate links. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather(Talk)18:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it would be nice for Google Earth to pick up the airport coordinates, but if we recommend people use "display=inline,title" then we are back to the format that a lot of people disliked, with the coordinates displayed at the top right of the page and again in the infobox. I see there was already an earlier discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Infobox Airport#Google earth. Perhaps before recommending this in the documentation we should start a new discussion on that page or at Template talk:Infobox Airport? That discussion could include the possibility of removing the coordinates from the infobox and using {{coord|...|display=title}} instead. -- Zyxw05:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking about this and I agree the best solution is to display the coordinates in the title only. Since that appears directly above the infobox, displaying it again inside the infobox is redundant. It also makes for a cleaner look since the coordinates take up two lines in the infobox thanks to the new globe icon. I originally tried leaving the coordinates inside the infobox:
However, that caused that coordinates to appear in the small font size of the infobox text (which is made even smaller because the title area text uses font-size:85%):
Therefore, I believe the best solution is to move the {{coord}} template outside the infobox. An abbreviated version of the template code from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport follows:
{{coord|49|27|16|N|002|06|46|E|type:airport|display=title}}
{{Infobox Airport
| name = Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport
| IATA = BVA
| ICAO = LFOB
| type = Public
| city-served = [[Paris]]
| coordinates = <!--listed in title-->
... etc.
Also, I forgot to mention that using a title-only {{coord}} template inside the infobox causes an empty box to be displayed next to "Coordinates" (see this edit for an example). -- Zyxw00:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. The Template:Can-arpt-wx works perfectly and enables the removal of these. I found 206 airports that were showing weather. There is another 186 to recheck that may have some weather available later in the day. I just went through the ICAO codes (CY/CZ) so I still have 1,050 non-ICAO left to check. Thanks again.

Infobox church2: Help needed
Hi, I wonder if you're able to help to fix (or provide some advice on fixing) "{{Infobox church2}}". I don't really know how to use the complex markup needed to create infoboxes, and so have just been making simple edits to the template. However, I don't know how to fix the following problems:
It's not possible to leave out empty fields. At present, the template requires all fields to be listed, even if they are blank, otherwise the name of the field appears in the infobox in curly brackets.
The "(s)" in "Senior Pastor(s)" wraps around to the next line.
I'll take a look at this and edit it to make all the fields "optional" (so they don't display if they are blank) plus fix the wrapping of "(s)" to a new line. -- Zyxw06:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've had this template on my watchlist as I've been watching someone's uh... probably good faith but misguided edits all over. I'm guessing that something you've done, from your Edit Summary, enables you to locate all the uses of the template that include the use of the image size parameter, most likely so you can go and find the ones using it that don't need to and remove them. So... firstly is there a tutorial on making/understanding the inner workings of templates? And, do you want help finding and fixing those incorrect uses? — TimotabTimothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)00:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As you surmised, I made a temporary edit to {{Infobox Person}} to locate pages with certain parameters that have more than one name. After edit some of those pages, I removed the temporary code from the template. As for a tutorial on templates, the only one I am aware of is Help:Template (but if you have any specific questions I'll be glad to answer them). And lastly, thanks for the offer to help, but I've already finished. -- Zyxw11:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
License tagging for Image:800px-Alvin Hall booksigning.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:800px-Alvin Hall booksigning.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I'm using the Infobox Writer here and there but I've noticed certain limitations of it. In the article Bruno Maddox I have to put his sister under the parents parameter. Would you be able to fix this problem? Is Infobox Writer the way to go anyways? I've noticed you guys fixing up Infobox Person which is why I ask.-BillDeanCarter03:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The confusion is probably because the current implementation of {{Infobox Writer}} has a parameter named relations which is displayed with the label of Parents. I can fix this, but first want to finish another project related to some of my prior edits there that had caused a problem (see #Infobox Writer above). And while {{Infobox Person}} does provide more fields for relatives, you'd lose use the writer-specific fields found in {{Infobox Writer}} (such as the debut_works field that you are using in the Bruno Maddox article). -- Zyxw06:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, no I'll wait. Infobox Writer is quite good, and it is just the confusing Parents label that is a problem. If you could fix it I would appreciate it very much. Best, BillDeanCarter13:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Re:Airport Plugin
Hi,
Thanks for pointing out, and fixing the problem.
Just a note, that that edit was back in july, when i was still writing/testing it, and have made various changes since then. Im also being more careful when editing the pages
Thanks for uploading Image:2W6 logo.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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
I am not sure what is causing this bot to tag this image, since it contains both a {{Non-free logo}} copyright template and {{Non-free media rationale}} template which gives all the required information as per Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline. This is an low-resolution airport logo, which is fair use for illustrating the airport's Wikipedia article. I have expanded the fair use description a bit and removed the disputed image template. -- Zyxw08:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (Image:RUT logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:RUT logo.png. 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. BetacommandBot22:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As a consistant contributor to the Mobile Downtown Airport article, I wanted to get your input. Although this facilty seems to be called by many names, the Mobile Airport Authority operates the site as the "Brookley Complex", see Mobile Airport Authority for details. What are your thoughts on moving it to that? My initial wish was to create a Brookley Complex article, thinking that the Mobile Downtown Airport was just one facet of Brookley, but as I've done more research have realized that this is not so. I have plans for a major expansion to include the various aerospace and industrial companies, expand the history (especially its WWII history), touch on its status as a free-trade zone, and to include more on the site as a whole. I'm putting together my info and references now, waiting for some responses before doing a move. If you have time to comment, please respond on the article talkpage. Many thanks in advance. -Altairisfar (talk) 06:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I appreciate your prompt response. So we'll keep the title as it is. My knowledge of the intricacies of airports is limited, so I'll try to leave that part of it to the more qualified. I have two university-published books that detail the history of the site, so I'll be using those to expand on the history. I want to find a reliable source for the other major companies located at the site also, but thus far no real luck on this. I notice that the Mobile Airport Authority website isn't updated in some areas as you would think it would be, so I can't completely go by them. I live in Mobile, so I hope to get over to Brookley eventually to snap a photo or two for the article too. -Altairisfar (talk) 18:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't any particular reason I changed those infoboxes from "IATA=" to "IATA=none". The program I wrote to generate infoboxes for U.S. airports puts "none" in there. Then I just manually copy any differences from the existing infobox before replacing it with the new one. I should probably leave those fields blank or remove them, since I do prefer the look of the automatically generated none in italics. Thanks for pointing that out. -- Zyxw (talk) 15:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info. It appears the Google Earth team fixed that bug in their coding, since coordinates assigned to an infobox parameter named "coordinates" (as is the case in the articles you mentioned) were supposed to be accepted by Google Earth regardless of whether the {{coord}} template used "display=inline" or "display=title". -- Zyxw (talk) 15:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Zyxw! I changed the capitalization of the table headers, because I believed MoS is in use also there. I wonder why it is not the case. Maybe you know better. Cheers. CeeGee (talk) 21:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While making other additions to List of airports in Turkey, I changed the table heading text back to upper case because most of the other airport lists have it that way. I hadn't really thought about the Wikipedia: Manual of Style. If upper case goes against that, then I suppose most or all of the articles in the category: Lists of airports need to be changed. I'll leave that for someone else to do, since I actually prefer it in upper case. -- Zyxw (talk) 12:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good day, a while back you added a template to show coordinates from the airports in a category to the Category:Airports in Oregon. Could you guide me on to how this works? I have been creating articles for the airports in OR but I do not see the recently added articles populating the .XML file. I am curious if I am goofing up on my end or what. An example of a recently added article is Propst Airport. Thank you for the assistance --Trashbag (talk) 20:44, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"With an article name the tool pulls the article from the live Wikipedia, but the more resource intensive category request uses the coordinates from Wikipedia-World, which is updated from the dumps."
