I apologize for that.

I fully wish to cooperate, I think we both need to cool our heads and take a break from editing the article so we can come back with fresh perspectives. I will agree not to edit the article any more if you do. I will also request a third opinion, what do you say? I would also like to thank you for following up on, whether intentional or not with the bus stations category by removing the California meta category and for adding the SFBA transportation category to it. =) cheers.

The nomination of the template is the culmination of about a years worth of SPA's trying to spam their favorite website into the templates, not a conspiracy to delete US GA airport articles. The most recent attempt was Template_talk:US-airport#Edit_Protected when a single purpose account, who never edited wikipedia, suddenly shows up at a template talk page wanting to spam their website. I directed them to the airports talk page and no one responded, except milborne who has recommended at least 3 earlier times to delete the template in response to other SPA's who wanted to add their website. Obviously the SPA's are associated with various companies. Someone from flightaware weighed in at the tfd shortly after it was posted. They probably forgot to log in as one of the SPA's on the talk page. No one is stopping you from using a website as a reference, but this isn't a flight planning website or the weather channel, its supposed to be an encyclopedia. If the template were deleted, it would be subst'd anyway, so no supposed references would be lost anyway, just the convenience of dumping a bunch of links into a stub article and the convenience of SPA's to focus on a single template to add their site to. -- Dual Freq ( talk) 03:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Sad, that discussion on the template's talk page has not been effective. Through the zealous efforts of one or two editors, it has been impossible. This witch-hunt for "SPAs" has blinded some editors to fundamentals that are not only documented in wiki guidelines, they have been overtly encouraged by wikipedia's founder in a video interview. Specifically, Wikipedia's assertion that ANYONE, affiliated/related/connected ("a/r/c") to the topic or not, should be given equal consideration in an article's talk page. Well documented guidelines state that a/r/cs should not add their own material. They are, however, encouraged to offer it up for discussion in the article's talk page. From there, editors are admonished to discuss and attempt to come to an objective conclusion regarding that material's inclusion. Attempts at discussion in this case have been repeatedly torpedoed by one or two editors who have taken on this concept of "SPAs" as a crusade and have lost all contact with objectivity as a result.

Hi, I have a web site, Airport Guide (www.airportguide.com), that I added in the External Links section of all of the US state airport pages. You flagged this as SPAM and they were all removed. Is there some template or something I should be putting these links in? I have a listing of FAA, ICAO, and IATA mappings for every airport in the world and was adding state-specific pages such as http://www.airportguide.com/california.php. Please tell me why my link is SPAM and AirNav's link is not. I will soon be wanting to add airport-specific page links for all countries and eventually every airport (for example, http://www.AirportGuide.com/airport/United_States/California/Los_Angeles-KLAX-LAX/).

Would you mind taking a look at a discussion about this airport that I started on another user's talk page regarding this airport. I mistakenly thought he was the one who deleted the airport and it's mention on the List of airports of Santa Cruz County, California, but he mentioned it was actually you that proposed it's deletion. We are losing general aviation airports at this time in history, and I'm afraid if we erase their history from all memory it just diminishes their role and importance.

I assume that you noticed the Lake Tahoe effort from the current contributions on the project template. I added that to try and get some focus on a few articles at a time. I'm going to add Black Rock Desert to the template also. Vegaswikian ( talk) 06:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I went through almost all of the tagged articles and et the importance. I don't think I made any big errors but over time someone should probably give them a review. Also most projects try and review the assessments on a yearly basis since the criteria does change and the articles also change. However I think delaying this until after I try to add the B class criteria would be justified. As I understand it, if an article meets any of the criteria for B class it is automatically placed in C class until it meets all of them. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:53, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

What an improvement! The last time I looked at that article, it needed much help, so thankyou for your work on it.
I am working on creating articles for all wilderness areas within California (see bottom of my user page for the horrendous list of red links) and am considering starting on the Marble Mountain Wilderness. I am concerned though about duplication of the two articles since the existing article has info on the wilderness area also.

Hi. I still think that the word certified is valuable in US Airways Flight 1549. First, it is used in the referenced article and in several others.

Hello, I've reverted your removal of the decompression incident category because this was a very noteworthy fact when it became known, as it changed previously thinking that the aircraft had blown up in mid-air, killing everyone instantly. Specifically, the CVR contained recordings of decompression drills that illustrated that people were still alive and the aircraft still flying for a while. Furthermore, when I created that category, I did not intend for it to be limited to scenarios where decompression was the cause (c.f. decompression incidents where metal fatigue was the cause).

Thanks for your note. I actually posted my comment in reply to someone else's who was trying to undermine the vote of newcomers. I appreciate your intervention to tone down the discussion. Still, I personally find it unacceptable for someone to register an account with the sole aim of deleting an article instead of helping improve it. There is annoying asymmetry between vandalism or inappropriate edits that can be reverted in one click by anyone and VfD that require a vote to be stopped.

I've struck out "No one is biting the newcomers here" because DarTar's are fairly BITEy. Of course, he discussed the issue with you, above. My response to DarTar's comments was to identify new editors. DarTar's response of pointing out that Boatsdesk was a new editor after I had already done so seems BITEy also.

You recently reverted some of my edits; including my removal of undue precision in coordinates (we don't need to give the coordinates of a 13Km-wide feature to a precision of about a centimetre - Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision specifically says "A general rule is to give precisions approximately one tenth the size of the object, unless there is a clear reason for additional precision. Overly precise coordinates can be misleading by implying that the geographic area is smaller than it truly is."); and the removal of redundant fields from an instance of {{ Geobox Geology}}, where you said "Geobox docs recommend leaving fields blank from sample so they can be filled in later" - I somehow can't see us ever needing to add the flag, capital, confluence, population or author of an impact site.

I see that this template, {{ Infobox crater}}, has been recreated as a redirect to {{ Infobox terrestrial impact site}}. This is a bit confusing since you were the one who nominated it for deletion in the first place. I understand that the new template is restricted to impact sites on Earth, but the fact that there is a redirect from {{ Infobox crater}} is strange, given that the name "promoting confusion" was one of the reasons for nomination in the first place. How about redirecting {{ Infobox crater}} to {{ Infobox crater data}}, and putting some information there about where to go for the various crater templates? Would that be better? Thanks!

I've reverted your reversion of my layout change to this article, because the previous layout is not acceptable. It is indeed the ideal that images be with the text they apply to, but not at the expense of huge blocks of whitespace under Internet Explorer, the worl'd most popular browser, and thus most likely to be used by many readers who come to Wikipedia to get their information. I'm not married to the layout I made, but it does solve the problem, and the text part of the article is short enough that no image is far away from the text it is associated with. Feel free to play with it to find other layouts, but whatever it is, it has to solve the whitespace problem. Thanks. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Pardon my French, but what the heck are you talking about? En dashes are not "foreign character dashes" and hyphens are no dashes at all, neither "simple" nor otherwise. Please read this. Both unspaced em dashes and spaced en dashes are acceptable, hyphens, however, are not. So please do not use hyphens when dashes are required, and re-edit the article in question accordingly.

Hi, I saw you reverted an edit I made on Upstate California and in your edit summary made a comment about "govt rivalry." My edit had nothing to do with that. The heading says "Humboldt County" and the citation below it says "Eureka, California." So the contents appear to not match the heading and I added the Humboldt County Economic Development link so that the contents would match. I am having a bit of trouble understanding why that section is even needed. I don't see anything similar in the other regions of California, it's almost as if the original author was trying to justify the existence of this term "Upstate California" and show the very few times it's been used in the local governmental literature. I did an internet search on the term "Upstate California" and besides this wiki page and one website, I find very few uses of the term. It begins to look like a made-up term with a long wiki article; a habit more familiar in teenage rock bands than geographic locations. Any ideas? Ellin Beltz ( talk) 18:45, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I appreciate all your recent efforts on the topic. Probably much needed. Regarding this edit. Not an expert by any stretch, but it seems pretty clear, by the name only, that annular lakes are not merely circular, but ring-shaped ( Manicouagan good example). The adjective is well defined, however obscure the geological term may be. Now it is unclear to me if the term annular is supposed to include any and all ring-shaped lakes, or only those created by impact, but certainly ring-shaped lakes only account for a small subset of impact crater lakes in general. Thus, the first sentence in the article Impact crater lake: "An impact crater lake, also known as annular lake, is a circular lake caused by the impact of a meteor." is untrue. In other words, not all impact crater lakes are annular lakes, so the two terms are not interchangeable. -- DB1729 ( talk) 12:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I see you removed Hiawatha from the List of impact craters on Earth. Looking at the Earth Impact Database, it is still not listed there. I wonder why? Because from reading the 2022 news item on Hiawatha, it seems like there is no doubt that it is an impact. The database URL suggests that it was updated in the year 2018 which would explain this. Should we add Hiawatha back or not? -- Ysangkok ( talk) 16:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Ikluft,
I think that you were the main editor involved in the current categorization of impact craters. The main list is now moved to list of impact structures on Earth, matching the list of possible impact structures on Earth. I've also moved the individual "by continent" lists to match this new naming. Before I start on the "by country" lists, I feel that the current categorization tree should be updated to match. I wanted to touch base with you before even thinking about putting in any Cfd requests as I've never really been involved in categories, other than using what exists. If you wish to retain the status quo, then I'll certainly not fight about it.

The nomination of the template is the culmination of about a years worth of SPA's trying to spam their favorite website into the templates, not a conspiracy to delete US GA airport articles. The most recent attempt was Template_talk:US-airport#Edit_Protected when a single purpose account, who never edited wikipedia, suddenly shows up at a template talk page wanting to spam their website. I directed them to the airports talk page and no one responded, except milborne who has recommended at least 3 earlier times to delete the template in response to other SPA's who wanted to add their website. Obviously the SPA's are associated with various companies. Someone from flightaware weighed in at the tfd shortly after it was posted. They probably forgot to log in as one of the SPA's on the talk page. No one is stopping you from using a website as a reference, but this isn't a flight planning website or the weather channel, its supposed to be an encyclopedia. If the template were deleted, it would be subst'd anyway, so no supposed references would be lost anyway, just the convenience of dumping a bunch of links into a stub article and the convenience of SPA's to focus on a single template to add their site to. -- Dual Freq ( talk) 03:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Sad, that discussion on the template's talk page has not been effective. Through the zealous efforts of one or two editors, it has been impossible. This witch-hunt for "SPAs" has blinded some editors to fundamentals that are not only documented in wiki guidelines, they have been overtly encouraged by wikipedia's founder in a video interview. Specifically, Wikipedia's assertion that ANYONE, affiliated/related/connected ("a/r/c") to the topic or not, should be given equal consideration in an article's talk page. Well documented guidelines state that a/r/cs should not add their own material. They are, however, encouraged to offer it up for discussion in the article's talk page. From there, editors are admonished to discuss and attempt to come to an objective conclusion regarding that material's inclusion. Attempts at discussion in this case have been repeatedly torpedoed by one or two editors who have taken on this concept of "SPAs" as a crusade and have lost all contact with objectivity as a result.

Hi, I have a web site, Airport Guide (www.airportguide.com), that I added in the External Links section of all of the US state airport pages. You flagged this as SPAM and they were all removed. Is there some template or something I should be putting these links in? I have a listing of FAA, ICAO, and IATA mappings for every airport in the world and was adding state-specific pages such as http://www.airportguide.com/california.php. Please tell me why my link is SPAM and AirNav's link is not. I will soon be wanting to add airport-specific page links for all countries and eventually every airport (for example, http://www.AirportGuide.com/airport/United_States/California/Los_Angeles-KLAX-LAX/).

I assume that you noticed the Lake Tahoe effort from the current contributions on the project template. I added that to try and get some focus on a few articles at a time. I'm going to add Black Rock Desert to the template also. Vegaswikian ( talk) 06:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I went through almost all of the tagged articles and et the importance. I don't think I made any big errors but over time someone should probably give them a review. Also most projects try and review the assessments on a yearly basis since the criteria does change and the articles also change. However I think delaying this until after I try to add the B class criteria would be justified. As I understand it, if an article meets any of the criteria for B class it is automatically placed in C class until it meets all of them. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:53, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I still think that the word certified is valuable in US Airways Flight 1549. First, it is used in the referenced article and in several others.

Hello, I've reverted your removal of the decompression incident category because this was a very noteworthy fact when it became known, as it changed previously thinking that the aircraft had blown up in mid-air, killing everyone instantly. Specifically, the CVR contained recordings of decompression drills that illustrated that people were still alive and the aircraft still flying for a while. Furthermore, when I created that category, I did not intend for it to be limited to scenarios where decompression was the cause (c.f. decompression incidents where metal fatigue was the cause).

Thanks for your note. I actually posted my comment in reply to someone else's who was trying to undermine the vote of newcomers. I appreciate your intervention to tone down the discussion.

You recently reverted some of my edits; including my removal of undue precision in coordinates (we don't need to give the coordinates of a 13Km-wide feature to a precision of about a centimetre - Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision specifically says "A general rule is to give precisions approximately one tenth the size of the object, unless there is a clear reason for additional precision. Overly precise coordinates can be misleading by implying that the geographic area is smaller than it truly is."); and the removal of redundant fields from an instance of {{ Geobox Geology}}, where you said "Geobox docs recommend leaving fields blank from sample so they can be filled in later" - I somehow can't see us ever needing to add the flag, capital, confluence, population or author of an impact site.

I see that this template, {{ Infobox crater}}, has been recreated as a redirect to {{ Infobox terrestrial impact site}}. This is a bit confusing since you were the one who nominated it for deletion in the first place. I understand that the new template is restricted to impact sites on Earth, but the fact that there is a redirect from {{ Infobox crater}} is strange, given that the name "promoting confusion" was one of the reasons for nomination in the first place. How about redirecting {{ Infobox crater}} to {{ Infobox crater data}}, and putting some information there about where to go for the various crater templates? Would that be better? Thanks!

I've reverted your reversion of my layout change to this article, because the previous layout is not acceptable. It is indeed the ideal that images be with the text they apply to, but not at the expense of huge blocks of whitespace under Internet Explorer, the worl'd most popular browser, and thus most likely to be used by many readers who come to Wikipedia to get their information. I'm not married to the layout I made, but it does solve the problem, and the text part of the article is short enough that no image is far away from the text it is associated with. Feel free to play with it to find other layouts, but whatever it is, it has to solve the whitespace problem. Thanks. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you reverted an edit I made on Upstate California and in your edit summary made a comment about "govt rivalry." My edit had nothing to do with that. The heading says "Humboldt County" and the citation below it says "Eureka, California." So the contents appear to not match the heading and I added the Humboldt County Economic Development link so that the contents would match. I am having a bit of trouble understanding why that section is even needed. I don't see anything similar in the other regions of California, it's almost as if the original author was trying to justify the existence of this term "Upstate California" and show the very few times it's been used in the local governmental literature. I did an internet search on the term "Upstate California" and besides this wiki page and one website, I find very few uses of the term. It begins to look like a made-up term with a long wiki article; a habit more familiar in teenage rock bands than geographic locations. Any ideas? Ellin Beltz ( talk) 18:45, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for so quickly fixing my error in the Florida Swampland article. DGG ( talk ) 06:01, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I appreciate all your recent efforts on the topic. Probably much needed. Regarding this edit. Not an expert by any stretch, but it seems pretty clear, by the name only, that annular lakes are not merely circular, but ring-shaped ( Manicouagan good example). The adjective is well defined, however obscure the geological term may be. Now it is unclear to me if the term annular is supposed to include any and all ring-shaped lakes, or only those created by impact, but certainly ring-shaped lakes only account for a small subset of impact crater lakes in general. Thus, the first sentence in the article Impact crater lake: "An impact crater lake, also known as annular lake, is a circular lake caused by the impact of a meteor." is untrue. In other words, not all impact crater lakes are annular lakes, so the two terms are not interchangeable. -- DB1729 ( talk) 12:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
Please stop adding the link to transit stations. See also sections are for pages that are actually related, not for tangential connections. The cycling page discussing whether bikes can be brought aboard at certain stations is not of any particular relevance to those stations, as Wikipedia is not a travel guide.

Hi, I see you removed Hiawatha from the List of impact craters on Earth. Looking at the Earth Impact Database, it is still not listed there. I wonder why? Because from reading the 2022 news item on Hiawatha, it seems like there is no doubt that it is an impact. The database URL suggests that it was updated in the year 2018 which would explain this. Should we add Hiawatha back or not? -- Ysangkok ( talk) 16:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Ikluft,
I think that you were the main editor involved in the current categorization of impact craters. The main list is now moved to list of impact structures on Earth, matching the list of possible impact structures on Earth. I've also moved the individual "by continent" lists to match this new naming. Before I start on the "by country" lists, I feel that the current categorization tree should be updated to match. I wanted to touch base with you before even thinking about putting in any Cfd requests as I've never really been involved in categories, other than using what exists. If you wish to retain the status quo, then I'll certainly not fight about it.
