[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Pan American World Airways1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pan American World Airways1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 23:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Use of commas in dates
I don't see anywhere else in Wikipedia where this system is being implimented. And in case you didn't read this website's Manual of Style, it isn't necessary to put commas after dates. I know you're a copy editor, but this book doesn't define Wikipedia style and some of it's "rules" that are in it, but not on wikipedia, shouldn't be followed. Even the wikipedia article you showed me said that the book had only a limited number of followers. --NcSchu 15:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

- Will do! Thank you for your knowledge - It has been absorbed. --NcSchu 17:38, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trinity Pic
I was just wondering why you deleted the Trinity pic from the San Antonio colleges gallery. The pic was never erased from wikipedia. Dknights411 20:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's OK. I'm just kinda proud of that picture because I took it ;-) Anyway, the Trinity pic come out just fine on my computer. If it's at all possibe, you might want to check a second computer just to make sure if everything's all right. Dknights411 03:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pan Am Railways / Pan Am Systems
Hello,
Thank you for redirecting the Guilford Rail System and Guilford Transportation Industries pages to new pages for Pan Am Railways and Pan Am Systems, respectively. I've been wanting to do that, but I'm still a newbie and wasn't sure how.
Is there a "Wikipedia For Dummies" book available? ;-) That's what I need!

[edit] Kohl's
Thanks for the help. I, too, wish there was a "Wikiediting for Dummies" book, or at least a pdf --Orange Mike 00:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
