How'd I do?22:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)reply
Sounds good, I will change the userbox on your userpage to reflect that I have adopted you. Now, I have one question for you: What are you looking to get out of Wikipedia, do you have a goal?

To rule the world? Nah, just kidding. To add to the objectivity of Wikipedia through edits, article creation, and eliminating vandalism.

Okay, well we will take things one step at a time. Have you created an article yet? If not, that's okay -- it is a simple process. Looking through your edits, I really don't see anything wrong, especially for a new user, you have grabbed on fairly quickly and seem to have an idea of what you are doing. I will be watching your edits, and pop in and give you advice. And....my
talk page is open for ANYTHING you need help with, want to ask me, or if you just want to say hi. I will have further information for you as I watch you over the next week or so.

Thanks a bunch for the assistance and feedback. Yes, I have created a few articles; all recent creations were airports that did not have their own pages yet, but were referred to by other pages (for example, red airports
here).
Thanks a bunch. I like your template better. However, I have a few suggestions. Under Facilities and Aircraft:
First, I agree that the longest runway is typically the only noteworthy one to address. However, some of these smaller airports have "unique/interesting" layouts, such as a long paved runway with an intersecting turf strip, a parallel glider runway, dirt strip, helipad, runway that doubles as a road, etc. If the field just has 1 or more "boring" paved runways, I say list the longest only, but I suggest editor discretion if uncommon layouts exist.
Second, I suggest adding additional placeholders for aircraft operations type: In addition to GA-local and GA-transient, data is kept on: military (often refueling of training aircraft), commercial, and air taxi (of the last two, I believe commercial is cargo and air taxi is charter, but I have to check).
Finally, I suggest keeping some additional placeholders for aircraft type. The most common are: single-engine, multi-engine, jet-aircraft, ultra-light, glider, and helicopter.
Ya, I agree, I just ripped that from a small airport I created which is why it was like that, you can update to say whatever you like, I give you permission to update it :P
