Your edits to Washington, D.C.[edit]

Hello, it would be great if you could start doing two things: include an edit summary so we can see at a glance what you changed and why, and use the preview button before you save your edits, so you can make all of your changes at once rather than in a long series of small edits. Thanks! Postdlf 22:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs[edit]

Is linking to stubbs good practice?

If it's relevant to the article, it may encourage others to expand those stubs. So yes. Xiner (talk, email) 22:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't seem to get the linking right for this citation - please advise. I want the below references to properly display the Flying Amid the Merger Clouds link....

Since this is talking longer than I wanted it too, and the Wiki on Citing Sources doesn't break down the different styles of citing, preferring to only give you one way of coding for the citation (and the way below is easier in conveying the information), I'm going to commit this edit and hopefully someone will explain what's going on, as it seems to be a close mimic of another reference in the same article that displays just fine.

Alfred E. Kahn is an American professor and expert in airline regulation. Commonly known as the "Father of Airline Deregulation,"^[1] he chaired the Civil Aeronautics Board during the period when it substantially reduced its regulation the airline industry, paving the way for low-cost airline, from People Express to Southwest Airlines.

I fixed it for you (on the article). Your two problems were not including http:// for the url, and using single digits in the dates. for months before october, and for single digit days, use 03 or 06 instead of just 3 or 6. --Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 20:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Drivers Incorporated[edit]

I have nominated Drivers Incorporated, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drivers Incorporated. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
