 * Yep...you are correct, this is the standard table format for all airports. Snoozlepet (talk) 21:14, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Yep, it is correct. The WP:AIRPORTS editor consensus was to merge the tables together. If you check the majority of the airport tables, you can see that they are all merged together. Regards! Snoozlepet (talk) 04:40, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Since the IP did not provide any sources for the edit, I went ahead and removed it unless he can find some sort of an announcement from each of the airlines. Snoozlepet (talk) 01:42, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and tagged it as "unreferenced" until we can find sources for the services. Snoozlepet (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

As you may notice just above my answer here, I'm not the only one to think they (at least) looked actually like advertising. Slasher-fun (talk) 19:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Tofutwitch, I don't have a serious objection to the fact that these services are mentioned in an appropriate part of the article (and with appropriate prominence given their importance to the overall subject), but even if your contribution wasn't "advertising" it was highly non-neutral POV, which is against anyone's interpretation of Wikipedia's rules. It was sufficiently overt that it resembled spam and Slasher-fun rightfully deleted it. It's irrelevant that you're not part of the organisation - you can still advertise or promote it, and you most certainly did - the actual rules are no POV or advertising by anyone regardless of connection to an organisation, and with further guidance that if you were connected to the organisation you should avoid editing anything about it at all, not just not promote it. As you said on Slasher-fun's talk page, you didn't favour one above the other - but you favoured these two over any other.


 * Moving forward, it may be appropriate to mention that these services exist, along with stats on number of users and how long they've been running to show that these are the most notable such services. You said one had a "long great history since January 2009" - that doesn't sound very long in the scheme of MSFS, and who's to say it's "great"?! The MSFS article has been subject to a lot of excessive linking, so in the past, usage (eg using the Alexa website traffic tool) has been used as a non-arguable, independent baseline for determining notability - not the subjective view of how good they are. You would need to agree to the basis that if other similar services are actually more popular, these two would likely be removed. And if it turns out only a tiny proportion of the FS community uses them, then they shouldn't be included at all. Regards, Halsteadk (talk) 12:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

RE:MinuteClinic
There was nothing wrong with the article itself. It appeared that you were experimenting with the file formats and messages because they were changed from SVG to JPG and back SVG. If this was not the case, I apologize for the message.  EW  i kist Talk 14:53, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * (In response to this.) There was nothing wrong with what you did. From recent changes point of view, it looked like you were testing things. Remember, even if the page isn't visited often, all edits pop up on the recent changes page, so, out of context, your edits may seem problematic (even though they weren't). Using the edit summary will help keep this from happening. EW  i kist Talk 15:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
