Lagos Airport Article
[edit]Hi, I am user themit and am 14 years old and have an interest in civil aviation. I come from Australia. I read the Lagos Airport article which I believe you have had something to do with and disagree with the runway numbering- it said that there was a runway numbered 01L-18R which is not correct because all runways must have a number at the end which is 18 more or less than the number at the start so it would be 01L-19R. I edited it, but what are your views? --Themit 09:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for changing it - the runway is indeed numbered 01L/19R, that's my error when I did the infobox. Callumm 14:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Jandakot Airport
[edit]Nice Info box well done and thanks Gnangarra 10:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Zagreb Airport Gallery
[edit]Hello Callumm. I see that you added a couple of pictures in the Zagreb Airport gallery. However, I do not really understand the appropriateness of the two pictures you added, being a picture of Royal Jordanian and Air China. Both of these airlines do not have scheduled services to ZAG. I think that adding those two is a bit irrelevant, don't you think? Elektrik Blue 82 13:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't add these photos, only changed an incorrect caption on on and made a more informative one for the other. The Royal Jordanian one read Airbus A330, when it was clearly a four-engined Airbus A340. Thanks, Callumm 14:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- So you don't mind if I take them off the article? Elektrik Blue 82 17:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah it's fine with me. Callumm 18:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete 737 Orders article
[edit]I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Boeing 737 orders, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:List of Boeing 737 orders. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Cliffb 05:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, it probably best deleted, as is List of Airbus A320 orders, as on top of the reasons above, it hasn't been updated since its creation. Callumm 07:27, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Callumn, you can see the lenght of this airport here at the bottom of the page. Maybe would be useful a redirect page from Umbria International Airport, tell me what do you think about.--Grifomaniacs 12:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for updating it. I have created a redirect page from Umbria International Airport as well as Umbria Airport. Callumm 18:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks a lot Dagadt. I use a blank map of Europe on Wikipedia (it's problematic if the destinations overflow into Africa) and then use Photoshop Elements to put all the destinations in, change the colours etc. I would be happy to create more, if you have any requests, just let me know!

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
[edit]Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Route maps
[edit]Hi there, in regards to Image:Airberlindestinations.png, Image:Easyjetdestinations.png, Image:Ryanairdestinations2.png and Image:Skyeuropedestinations.png, can you please redo the maps with the deletion of logo. As per WP:LOGO, these are copyrighted logos, and the airline owns the rights to it, and having them on the route maps is in violation of WP:LOGO and doesn't comly with the CC licence which you have released the maps under (as you don't own the logos, you can't release those under any licence). Otherwise, the maps are a good idea, and would probably be preferrable over long sprawling unreferenced lists of destinations, meaning that the images can be included in the actual airline article. Can I ask what program you use to do the maps in, as I will likely do some of these myself in future. Thanks, --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 04:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sure - I'll start removing the logos now. What I tend to use is a mix of Inkscape and Photoshop Elements to produce the maps, starting with Image:BlankMap-World6.svg, filling in the countries and then putting dots and text on. Thanks, Callumm (talk) 15:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Callumm, by coincidence I came across your Image:Easyjetdestinations.png, and I am wondering which meaning to find behind the differentiation between Airports/cities in grey/upper case and black/lower case. As far as I know, it could not refer to any hubs. And I can't find the old file's description page at the Commons. Thanks for giving me more information! 95.115.3.81 (talk) 15:07, 19 March 2015 (UTC) Argentoratum

[edit]Thank you for translating the German version of this page for use on enwiki. Your efforts are much appreciated.
For future reference, when you translate a page you are required to provide attribution to the original page authors using the {{translated page}} template on the article's talk page. I have added the required template for you here, so there is nothing else to do on this article, but I thought you should know in case you make further translations at a later date.

Invitation to wikiFeed
[edit]Hello Callumm,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Airlinair, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pau (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Can you help verify translations of articles from German
[edit]Hello Callumm,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.
If you can help, please {{ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 06:37, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

German Translation
[edit]Hello Callumm,
Would you be bale to translate the below article for the German wikipedia? I have been making requests to translators on the List of German translators. Have not yet had any replies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_graffiti_and_street_art_injuries_and_deaths (Would like a reply on my talk page)
I have received some feedback from user "mathglot" about this message. i apologise for the wording of the last sentence. I had read a translators page. It said to indicate if you would like a message on your talk page. I only meant to respond to this. That is to indicate that i would like any reply being sent via a message on my talk page. Now that i have re-read this again it sounds like it could be taken a different way. That is as a request for a reply. That I am requesting a reply. I in know way mean't this when sending the message. I had some sense perhaps there was some convention among wikiedpia users to indicate if they want a reply written to them via their talk page.
