Thank you, I appreciate it. I'll do my best to improve this site! --70.17.205.58 (talk) 23:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC) <-- hehe, I forgot to log in. Now everyone knows my IP.Reply

Hi change

Wanted to say Hi to you Airplaneman. Hopefully, you'll like Simple. Pmlinediter  Talk 11:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I love Simple so far. I say hi, too!--Airplaneman (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have created few PJO pages. Will you please assist me there? Also, why don't you join IRC? Pmlinediter  Talk 12:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sure.Airplaneman (talk) 14:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

My RfB change

Hehe, actually I liked it! But thanks for fixing it anyways! :-) Take care! fr33kman talk 03:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Percy Jackson change

Okay, so I moved this for you per your request on Pmlineditor's talk page and your reasoning that en.wiki has it this way. Apparently I should have double checked, as en.wiki has it as "Percy Jackson & the Olympians". Can you explain? Lauryn (utc) 23:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Whoops... I should've double checked as well. (facepalm). It's fine either way; the "The" needed to be uncapitalized. In the title, it's spelled with "&" and not "and", but it should be fine either way. Thanks, Airplaneman talk 23:34, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
No worries. I've stuck the article at Percy Jackson & the Olympians as that is the way that it is at en.wiki. Nice to meet you, as well, though I think we may have interacted a bit at en. I edit as "Katerenka" over there. :) Cheers, Lauryn (utc) 23:37, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ah! Hello :). Thanks for moving it ;) Airplaneman talk 23:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Simplification change

Thanks for joining the WikiProject Simplification, and welcome aboard! Kansan (talk) 01:17, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong; I'm used to en wiki :). Airplaneman talk 01:19, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

AirPort change

You do good work. I did submit AirPort for deletion because I'm having a difficult time finding why they are notable. You are welcome to change the article or participate in the deletion discussion as you like. With respect, Jon@talk:~$ 02:34, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Alright, will do. Thanks, Airplaneman talk 14:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Xserve change

I'm having similar issues with Xserve. Is there anything more we can add? Jon@talk:~$ 02:37, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes. I'm modeling it off en:Xserve. Thanks, Airplaneman talk 14:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello change

Feel free to stick a welcome template on my talk if you like. Brambleclawx (talk) 15:45, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Never mind, someone already did. Brambleclawx (talk) 15:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm here! change

Wow, very different! Thanks for the welcome...I've replied on my page, but don't have a neat talkback tab to use to alert you :(. Anyway, I'll wander around the PJ articles and see what I can do. Percy Jackson and the Olympians:The Lightning Thief is copied directly from the en.wiki one, which is against policy, so it needs cleaning up. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually, they were all imported, per my request :). WP:HOW gives some guidelines on writing Simple English. Happy editing, Airplaneman talk 18:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, is that allowed? I see this bold warning about not copying articles from the English Wikipedia because they are too complex. It would be easier, of course, but kind of defeats the purpose of Simple English! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 21:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
You can't just copy and paste the articles like they are now. You can have somebody import them for you, move them to your user space, and work on them to make them simpler until they're good to go. Kansan (talk) 21:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hello! As this is the Simple English Wikipedia, we mainly use Basic English. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 20:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
I ported Friendly here (User:PiRSquared17/friendly.js differs slightly from the original [uses "change" instead of "edit"]). The original is at User:Jeremjay24/friendly.js. πr2 (talk • changes) 21:11, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Awesome! I'll definitely take a look at it; I've been missing some of the neat tools from en. PrincessofLlyr talk 23:40, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
And I have WP:Qui, for anyone who wants to use it. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 23:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oh cool! Thanks for dropping by my talk, guys :) Airplaneman 00:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Userboxes change

Kindly guide me how can I add wiki commons on my user page say I wish to add the common for being an Indian, a science populariser or a bool lover regards, Subzbharti (talk) 10:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I assume you're talking about Userboxes? The page should tell you about them. I'm not sure where to find the ones you are referring to - you can make them yourself, if you want, using Template:Userbox.
Feel free to drop by and ask away, although I might not respond for some time; I am usually on the English Wikipedia. Happy editing! Airplaneman 02:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief change

I'm pretty sure it was copied/imported from en, but there is no note on the talk page. Do you have any idea which version of the page from which it would have been copied? thanks, PrincessofLlyr talk 02:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, if I can recall correctly from en (I assume it would be the same here), attribution is acceptable just by pointing it out in the edit summary, which was done. I did some searching here and stumbled upon Wikipedia:Transwiki Attribution. Now as for which version, I'll go ahead and compare timestamps… and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Percy_Jackson_%26_the_Olympians:_The_Lightning_Thief&oldid=349738545 looks like the imported version. Airplaneman 02:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I just now realised, and this is really dumb, but I had been working on The Lightning Thief (novel, not film) and just got myself confused. Oh well. It's still nice to know. Also, talkbacks unnecessary here as at en! PrincessofLlyr talk 02:56, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oh, OK. Looks like some stuff was converted from en on September 21 2009, which would be http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Lightning_Thief&oldid=314970281 I think. Since it was not copied, and only some stuff was ported over, I am not sure how to attribute, or if it is even needed. Hmm... Airplaneman 03:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Actually, that one has already been noted, so I think it's fine. I'll probably try to add the note to the film's talk page too. Feel free to read over the novel page and improve anything you see. I want to post it at PGA this week. PrincessofLlyr talk 03:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
OK. Airplaneman 03:16, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi change

Hi. I'm indefinitely blocked on the en wikipedia because I was talking. See my en talkpage. Warrior (talk) 02:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC) (I'm Ian.bjorn)Reply

You were doing more than that. Enjoy your time here, but don't do what got you in trouble over at en.wikipedia over here. Airplaneman 18:40, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ok then. I've built up a Simple WikiProject Warriors. For now it's only a subpage of mine but I hope to get it out and onto the mainspace within 2 weeks. Loudclaw (talk) 02:03, 26 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
