Images
[edit]You know, I had wondered the same thing, since they were from the CIA (probably factbook, but not sure) -- BUT, since he actually GOT them from a University of Texas publication but was given permission to use them, I thought a simple PD tag might be the best way to sum up all the information. I'm open to other suggestions though. Katefan0 01:51, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Pilot licences/licenses
[edit]David
Thank you for your comments on my talk page. I have moved them to, and responded to them on, Talk:Pilot licences, as it seemed the best place should anyone else wish to comment.

Prompted by Jguk changing the spellings to UK English, I've proposed a restructuring of these articles. You've contributed recently in this area. Can you comment at Talk:Pilot licences? Thanks. David Brooks 04:59, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing the direct link from Talk:Pilot licensing and certification to the discussion. And I hope you weren't too offended by my comments on the spelling: that was originally a message to jguk that he copied, but still I shouldn't have been quite so blunt! The new article Pilot licensing in Canada is almost entirely your authorship, I think. I hope I preserved it correctly. David Brooks 01:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- 'preciate it, thanks. I was thinking of adding Aviation Medical Examiner next, so I will also change AME from being a redirect to being a disambig with 3 targets. Does Canada have designated medical examiners, and if so what are they called? David Brooks 00:47, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- In Canada I think they're called Aviation Medical Doctors, so as not to be confused the AME's (which for us means Aerospace Mechanical Engineer). I've also take a look at Airspace and noticed that some of the Canadian definitions are different - what do you think of doing the same thing there as we did with pilot licensing? -Lommer | talk 01:01, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Airspace is pretty generic and old, but I thought it was generic enough to still be applicable. I added the expanded Airspace classes and tried to make it encompass the three countries (i.e. not the same as licensing; it's shorter, which helps). What needs changing?

signpost outing?
[edit]I didn't even know the signpost existed! (Wikipedia has grown so much since 2002 that I've lost track of a lot) I'm lost as to what exactly you did concerning what article? Signed, Easily confused. (a.k.a. DavidWBrooks 18:58, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC))
- Never mind - I figured it out! Signed, Slightly trainable

[edit]Thanks for letting me know. I'm a bit surprised, though, as the edit to which I was referring was th first ever made from that address, and there have been less than ten since. I've added the page name, though, to make sure that whoever it was sees it. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:25, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
