Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Flybe
Flybe Airlines itself may indeed deserve an article. A list of Flybe destinations, however, does not, since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Feel free to create an article on Flybe. DS 18:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, in the Flybe, and other, articles when you've added a link to the destinations article you had it like:
- It's better to use the {{main}} template, like:
{{main|Flybe destinations}}
- which results in:
- And it's a lowercase 'd'. Thanks/wangi 18:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

F1 portal featured article
The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Selected articles on Portal:F1
Hello again.
I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).
Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).
You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Empty articles
Hi! When you create an article, could you please write some basic information about the subject? Empty articles with only a category and a stub tag will most likely be deleted at some point. Happy editings, –Mysid(t) 10:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Cambata Aviation
A tag has been placed on Cambata Aviation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:Cambata Aviation. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material. — Tivedshambo (talk) 11:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Aviance, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Aviance. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Deletion of TLV Travel Club
(Copied from User talk:Tijuana Brass)
Please Explain...Flymeoutofhere 15:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sure thing. About 12 hours after you initially created this article, an editor marked it for speedy deletion (CSD A7), presumably based upon a perceived lack of notability (something that you're probably familiar with, given your experience — so I won't launch into an explanation). I saw the page listed on CAT:CSD and took a look, and since I don't like to be too fast to delete pages, I checked the TLV website to try to get an idea for myself. Based upon what I saw there, my understanding was that TLV was more of a conceptual project that was a ways off from being an operational air carrier/service. While I believe that it will eventually meet WP:N, at the time it didn't seem to, and so I deleted the article.
- It's my practice, though, to avoid the speedy deletion of articles where someone has expressed a legitimate interest in keeping it (at which point I'll either leave it alone or put it up for a prod/AfD as a courtesy). I'm open to your reasoning to do that instead. I'd also be happy to move the article's contents to your userspace in order to preserve it for future use, or to list it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Let me know which option you'd like to pursue — preferably on my talk page, so I'll see it sooner.
- Finally, I apologize for not leaving you a note on your talk page about the deletion. I try to inform the prime author(s) of articles I delete — at least when it's an article which seems to have been written in good faith, like yours — but I neglected to do so in your case. Sorry for that. Tijuana Brass 19:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. It's now located at User:Flymeoutofhere/TLV Travel Club; feel free to move it elsewhere in your userspace if you'd like (just don't forget to tag the redirects for deletion if you do). I usually work on new articles in my userspace as well, since there's plenty of overzealous newpage patrollers who mark legit articles for speedy deletion without realizing that they just haven't been fully developed yet (usually with good intentions, of course). Good luck! Tijuana Brass 19:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Memorial to 'what was'
Re this edit, I'd agree that section as-is is probably not worth much. However in an encyclopedia previous destinations and why they were dropped, or current destination and why they came around, or why ones are going to be dropped is much more encyclopedic than a bare listing of current destinations. Of course, only if it is properly referenced! Thanks/wangi 00:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Vienna International Airport
If you wish to move a page, please use the move feature. Blanking a page and redirecting it causes the edit history to be hidden from the new page. Furthermore, the term Schwechat is rarely used in reference to the airport, and WP policy states to use common names. If you wish to move this page, please put up a move request and obtain consensus before doing so. Thanks. DB (talk) 00:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
You have stated in the infobox that in was put on the list in 1981. As far as I can see this is not true. It was proposed to be added in 1982 and subsequently placed on the List of sites in danger. The infobox should be removed as it is not on the list or it should be changed to make the difference clear. Chesdovi 22:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

El Al edits
Dear Flymeoutofhere,
I am writing to you because I would like to discuss about the Controversy section in the El Al article. I understand that you may have certain reasons for deleting this section. I do not know whether you have recently been to Talk:El Al and read some of the arguments of those supporting the inclusion of the section. If you have reasons for your actions, please discuss them cin a civil manner on Talk:El Al.
I would just like to let you know about why I personally support the inclusion of this section:
- This section is not biased and has a neutral point of view because it contains the views of both Jews and non-Jews.
- This section cites reasonable and reliable sources (an organization funded by the EU and ABC Asia Pacific).
I have already asked other users who support this section to temporarily refrain from re-inserting it in because I would really like to hear your reason for removing it constantly. I really do not want to be perceived as 'causing trouble' because that it is absolutely not what I want to do, instead, I hope that my edits can bring about a fairer view of many things on Wikipedia, backed up with reliable and trustworthy evidence and sources.
With every hope that this can be resolved in a civil way, Ghfj007 05:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Image size changes
Hi, I don't know what the reasoning behind your image size changes are, but please don't make them huge unless you have a very good reason. Most of the articles in question are very small anyway and look bad enough with the huge infobox and little text. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 18:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben Gurion Airport
I would like to help raise the Ben Gurion Airport article to good article status and would like to see you in charge of the push. Maybe even FA in the near future? I saw you ran a peer review in the past. Let me know what you would like me to do, and I will help. Lets make this one a GA! --יהושועEric 21:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- How close do you think we are to FA? --יהושועEric 15:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- Nothing jumps out at me as missing. Why not give it a go? Flymeoutofhere 17:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
The featured article candidate discussion of Jerusalem (archived here) has been restarted. Please check if the current version of the article has addressed your concerns, if any, and voice your opinion on the FAC at the current nomination. nadav 19:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
FAC Ben Gurion- reference for destinations?
I have been trying to address some of the issues raised. An editor has mentioned that there is no source for airlines and destinations. I have added a reference to the airport website which includes airlines, but cant find any for destinations. I assume you had a major role in creating the list, do you know of a source we can cite?
BTW, great job on this article, I enjoyed editing it, and hope we can get it to FA status Derwig 18:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Good, thanks. It will be hard to do. The only way I can think of is to go by individual airlines which will be hard in itself. The Ben Gurion site has nothing like that unfortunately, but having looked at Mirabel Airport the only other FA airport, there are no citations for the destinations. -- Flymeoutofhere 18:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

No big deal on changing it, I am graduating this week and have been very busy. If you want to change it next week, that would be great. I will be out of town. --יהושועEric 20:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (Image:El Al 60s70s.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:El Al 60s70s.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Undiscussed merged
Please discuss major mergers before making them, such as List of highways in Israel into Roads in Israel. This is especially if you're merging two articles that were recently split (there was no objection to the split). I can provide a lot of reasons for keeping the articles split, such as the potential for both to grow and List of highways in Israel not being limited to major highways (it would otherwise be limited by the size of the main Roads in Israel article), also it creates clutter, etc. Regardless of the reasons however, you should state your own reasons for merging before doing so. See also {{Merge}} etc. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Tourism in Israel
Before making major changes to articles, I would suggest checking the structure of the same article in other coutnries. In this case, other Tourism in ___ pages are text centred, not gallery centred. We are trying to keep some sort of uniformity on WP. This is sort of rule for creating or changing existing articles that I follow. --Shuki 18:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry - I looked at other country pages which tended to be incomplete. I figrued that the best way to show the information is in a graphical way...Flymeoutofhere 18:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- I always go to the big ones like the US and Canada which have the highest amount of editors 'patrolling' and many discussions have already taken place there on consensus and format issues. If it's good for them, then it is usually (not always though) good for the Israel articles as well. --Shuki 19:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

copyvio
The entire section "Zionism" in the article Culture of Israel is a copyright violation, being a shortened version of [1] , from the Jewish Agency. It has therefore been removed. It is not acceptable to take material from elsewhere, and condense it somewhat and put it into a WP article. WP articles cannot be summaries or paraphrases of copyright work, but must be written as original work, in your own words. Please learn from this, and do not do so again. DGG 08:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
