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)

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)

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): Zyxw 12:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

Hi Allstar86, thanks for your note. I'll review your list sometime today. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, that "day" turned into three. Apologies.  I've left some comments on the list's talk page.  Let me know if I can help further.  All the best.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:56, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

List
Well, you can take it to peer review - you'll be guaranteed a review there within three days, but it won't be an expert "list" review. Or, you could go to WP:FLC and nominate it to see what people think. Most of the points I picked up would have been immediately mentioned to you there so you're off to a good start already now you've taken care of them. Let me know if I can help further. All the best.

Fair use rationale for Image:Curitiba hacked.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Curitiba hacked.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 09:27, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Alsek Air Service
A tag has been placed on Alsek Air Service requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, you got me, that other airline did survive AfD. And this is exactly why I nominated it in the first place, because I was afraid it would open the door to every little tiny local airline in Alaska to have it's own article. Really, how is this notable? How is it more notable than a local water or land taxi? I honestly just don't get it. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * First, let me say I am sympathetic to the cause of not filling up Wikipedia with unimportant junk, so perhaps, if consensus dictates, we can combine some of these smaller airlines into a single article. As to their worthiness, I suppose I believe that public scheduled air service is inherently notable. From that, I believe that any such Alaskan airline that provides such a service, especially essential air service, is worthy of its own article. See Bering Air, Frontier Flying Service, Hageland Aviation Services, Isla Nena Air, Island Air Service, Servant Air, Taquan Air, Warbelow's Air Ventures, and Wings of Alaska, for other examples.
 * It will likely be that every little public airport in Alaska eventually gets an article, and it's well on its way: see List of airports in Alaska. These airlines serve to connect those dots.
 * Put another way, I believe the red links on Template:Airlines of the United States and Essential Air Service should be made as articles. I do NOT, however, believe that the hundreds of charter airlines should get their own article.
 * Given the AFD on Alaska Seaplane Service, I believe I'm in the majority in thinking these little airlines should be kept, but perhaps those more knowledgeable of Wikipedia Policy can argue the case better than I. In any case, I think this is something that should be debated and not speedy-deleted. I'm always up to talking this through, and perhaps the people at WP:AIRPORTS can be helpful too. --Allstar86 (talk) 06:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I thought the keep voters at that AfD mostly labored under the highly mistaken notion that little tiny airplanes are the main way everyone gets around in Alaska, and willfully ignored my evidence to the contrary. Here's an example: these guys have the same passanger capacity, and operate on a regular shedule but they use vans instead of airplanes. Are they notable? Also, this article does not cite any sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Alsek Air Service
I have nominated Alsek Air Service, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Alsek Air Service.

Essential Air Service updates
Thanks for updating the tables in the Essential Air Service article. Having added the first table two years ago, I can appreciate how much work was involved. Although the current Alaska chart at http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/X-50%20Role_files/080801alaska.htm still shows Icy Bay and Cape Yakataga as having service to Cordova, the actual orders (see PDF links at Order 2006-9-22 and Order 2008-7-28) from the U.S. Department of Transporation show that the destination changed to Yakutat in November 2006 when Alsek Air Service started provided EAS services. I've updated the EAS and airport articles to reflect this change, but wanted to let you know in case there's some other source you know of that says otherwise. -- Zyxw (talk) 09:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
