Airports in Estonia
Hello, I noticed you have been creating articles about airports in Estonia, at least on the no: Wikipedia, and I was wondering if you have an affiliation of some kind or is it just something random you came upon? In addition, I'm also interested what those articles actually say :) and what source(s) you used. The English Wikipedia has only articles for three airports, so it would be nice if you would be willing to translate the articles to English. :) PeepP 18:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. :) I don't really know that much about the airports, and I have only used the information I have found on the web. And I don't speak Estonian, so that limits the information I can find a bit. It's kind of nerdy that I would write articles about airports and islands in Estonia, but I think it's interesting. I can translate the articles about the airports to English, of course. They aren't great, but a little is better than nothing, I suppose. I just hope the information I have found is correct... --Blue Elf 00:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for doing the translation. As far as I've seen, the information seems to be correct from what I've read. Anyway, I'll now try to work on the articles myself from now on, using the Estonian-language information I can find on the web (not much in the libraries where I live).

Football Kits
Hi Blue Elf, Just to let you know that I have noticed you adding a lot of kits to football club articles based on cross wiki content. Normally there would be nothing wrong with this and I am sure that you are doing this in good faith, but looking at them, some of them look they are being added by a Brazilian IP who has been vandalising articles on enWiki for a number of years. I am going to revert your edits as a result of this, but I don't want you to think that I look on this as your fault. Fenix down (talk) 13:52, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Aha. Sorry for that. Thanks for letting me know in a friendly way. I know better than to add things without a reliable source, so I shouldn't have done that with the football kits either. Blue Elf (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I wouldn't worry about it, most of them seem to be quite reasonable. I wasn't initially aware it was across multiple wiki, so it turns out there weren't many that looked dodgy. Fenix down (talk) 15:49, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nordhordland BK, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 3rd Division ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Nordhordland_BK check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Nordhordland_BK?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your merge proposal
It has been suggested at WT:Ships that your merge proposal be undone. However, I spoke against that and started a discussion at Talk:USS Ouellet. I would suggest you go there as soon as practicable and post your reasons for the merge, as this should've been done when you first added the tags. Also, one of the tags should've been been  , but I've since changed that. FYI - wolf  17:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
