[edit] Harvard-Westlake Question / Welcome

Hi Allstar,

I was just curious what brought you to the Harvard-Westlake page...thanks for adding the link to the website and to Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal. I think I searched for them fairly recently to see whether or not I should put in a link, but I can't remember having found anything.

Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. Patrick Grey Anderson 17:40, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Airline destinations

It is proper to list a flight without a plane change as a destination. Vegaswikian 02:54, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you sign with 4 tildes ~~~~ it includes your signon with your comments, makes replies easier. As to your question, I have not checked what is listed on wiki destinations in detail. But in the case of Aloha, if you look at their website it clearly shows Honolulu as a direct flight, which can include stops. The flight is 441 if I remember correctly. I would like to think that showing that as a destination would be fine. I'm not sure where you would even ask for information about this. Maybe village pump in the policy section. I would think following the airline standard would be the correct decision. But like you I'm rather new so I don't know for sure. Vegaswikian 05:31, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I did a quick check at Reno/Tahoe International Airport for Aloha and it does not show Honolulu but it also states that the destinations listed are nonstop. So maybe there are two cases. One where they list direct flights and the other where they list only nonstop flights. Vegaswikian 05:40, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TLAs

A proposal has been made at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move TLAs from AAA to DZZ and other related pages to Wikipedia namespace. Please visit Talk:TLAs from AAA to DZZ for the related discussion. -- Francs2000 | Talk 00:46, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of 'liberals wikipedians' category

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 23:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Georgia link thank you

Allstar86,
Thank you for making that edit on my user page so that Georgia is linked properly to the US state article, not the country article.

[edit] Template:Airlines of the United States

What exactly is a 'Dependent regional airline'? Would this be better listed as just regional airline? Also AK and HI should be under this heading since all of those are regional airlines.

As to your question on the usefulness, I have mixed feelings since it may be too large. In looking at this it did not seem as large I thought it might be. So maybe it would be OK.

I did some edits to stop the '•' character from starting a line. You can use the same technique for the airline names if you pipe ('|') the name for display. Vegaswikian 23:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

In response to your request for comment on my talk page, Template:Airlines of the United States 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):

[edit] Fix for Neo

Hey Allstar, Thanks for that quick fix on my page (DL). I must not have been paying attention while I was typing. I appreciate the assistance! Neo16287 22:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Earth Institute

I do not think the various parts of this center can possibly survive as separate articles. Even at major universities like Columbia, only the most important and comprehensive research centers have individual articles. I have therefore edited them all into redirects to the main page, where it would be reasonable to make sections for each. When there was apparently non-copyvio content, I used it for the section. Before you go to any more work on this elaborate et of pages, please stop and consider. See WP:WALLED GARDEN. Based on practice at AfD, this is probably the best way to handle it. DGG 20:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Probably should have made test pages first. People are deleting everything before I can rewrite anything. Stopping for now. --Allstar86 20:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I will help as much as I can-- if anything actually gets deleted, I'm an admin, so I can undelete it temporarily. No text is actually lost: If you go to the redirects, e.g. Center for the Study of Science and Religion, and look at the edit history, you will see the original text. But make sure it isnt copyvio, the ed. who marked the copyvio will probably check. As for getting copyright permission, it is my experience that Columbia will only give permission for non-Commercial use, which as you know cannot be accepted, But if you think you can get an OK for GFDL, get it and add it back.
Most of what I do here is trying to save bios of major academics and articles about important institutions, & it is my very strong advice that you start by having one strong article, and do not attempt to do separate pages for each of the centers except after the sections get quite large; But of course you know you can disregard anything I say, and try for yourself. DGG 21:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I think that is great advice. Also, you should find some reliable sources that discuss the Institute and work them into the article ASAP, before someone challenges the whole thing on notability and verifiability grounds. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Good edits today, and now for the refs--and link the directors' names if they are faculty and likely to be notable. And just for some more work, there may be suitable links from some of the subject pages. DGG 02:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scrollable references list

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Cheers. Do you know of anyway then to stop extra long URL's from spill off the side of pages then? I was never editing long reference lists, just wide ones. Esradekan 22:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scrolling lists

Well I have seen in them in some FA and no one complained about them or removed them so I could not realize that they are not allowed.--Avala (talk) 17:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
