P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

PBIA and SKBO

Sure you can add the line. I've never flown there, but my heritage is Colombian and I once worked for Avianca at FLL. Try to add the airport code template anywhere you don't see it. It's format is: (( Airport Codes | XXX | XXXX )) - replace (( with {{ Without the space of course (IATA 1st, ICAO 2nd) - PRueda29

Edit summaries

Hello Nuggetboy. Thanks for your contributions, but as a courtesy to other editors please start adding edit summaries. Even something short like "fmt" or "sp" or "dab" is good. Keep up the good work! Stewart Adcock 07:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

C# Name

Hi Chris. I didn't see any comments on Talk:C Sharp refuting ECMA's name for the language, so I assumed you just weren't aware of the fact that ECMA names the language "C#" (with a pound/hash sign instead of a sharp sign). Note that ECMA officially owns the language, so their title officially trumps Microsoft's. So, I reverted, with comment, your reversion of the C# "wrongtitle" template. I hope that makes sense.

Oops. Thanks for moving the above misplaced comment to your talk page, Chris. The Rod 19:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

William Calley

In regards to the William Calley issue at Lake Worth, Florida, you can look at Posterofwilliamcalleyinfo's edits to see that this is not an isolated incident of this sort of nonsense. I've just about given up with arguing with him about listing him at Jewellery and hope somebody will less patience than me just ends this charade. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense? Even jewelry lies in the grey area -- I am willing to abide by consensus. As for Lake Worth, if you look around the Wiki as I suggested, you will find that Calley's inclusion on a list of famous residents is very much in line with who is included on these lists across the wiki -- the fact is that that this is an extremely notable person. Also, if you look at the rest of my edits, you will find that the ones I have actively pursued (eg Fort Benning, Americal Division) present extremely strong cases for including Calley. Perhaps you should be more suspicious of Ricky81682 , who seems unable to presume good faith and has refused to engage me directly in a dialogue over this issue (he never responded to my post on his usertalk).

Last Derek Smart revert

Sorry man, this was not in response to your edit. - Chris 23:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I think I got caught in an edit conflict. Stifle (talk) 23:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Derek Smart

"I am considering filing an RFC against User:Supreme_Cmdr due to conduct and persistently ignoring consensus. Would you certify the basis for the complaint if I filed such an RFC? Stifle (talk) 23:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)"

Sure, what do I need to do? - Chris 23:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm building Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Supreme Cmdr at the moment. You can add any relevant information there, and if you agree, just sign under "users certifying the basis for this dispute". Stifle (talk) 23:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding: your comment on your suspicions that SC is really DS, even if true, I doubt that the Misplaced Pages:Autobiography guideline will resolve the edit war. I also doubt that it can be proven, however many the similarities in the opinions, tactics & attitudes displayed by SC to those of DS. Tomlouie 19:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chris. Thank you for the question. But sorry I'll stay out of this instance of application of the guidelines, since it seems a bit more personal than the kind of issue I usually address on Misplaced Pages. I'll just make one point, that WP:BLP may be more relevant than WP:EL here. -- JimR 11:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Florida Power & Light/Sandbox

This sandbox that you created has been nominated on AFD, because sandboxes should be in user space not article space. If you want it, or any part of it, please move it into your user space and the redirect can be speedied. If not, it can just be deleted. Robert A.West (Talk) 17:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

XPLANE up for deletion

Hi Nuggetboy,

I note that you contributed to the XPLANE article at one point. If you're still interested, you might want to weigh in at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2006 November 24. I am not canvassing here, just thought you might want to know.Dgray xplane 04:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
