Disambiguation link notification for May 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited

Afghan National Anthem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baloch. 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

regarding deletion of page Ammad Azhar

Hello TheChampionMan, Im new to this so please pardon my delay in understanding wiki. I still find it a little less user-friendly. The article or a biography of Ammad Ammad was authentic and more proofs/sources can be provide. I was out of town so couldnt log in earlier and later i found that the page is already deleted. Please undelete it and i can provide necessary references as required. Will truly appreciate the kind gesture. Regards Shafaqammad (talk) 06:13, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I got a pingback from you a few minutes ago saying you had added at RfD but I can't see that you did. But in the meantime, you are the champ, I should like to thank you for all your hard work at RfD and to make the encylopaedia better, it truly is a pleasure to know you, for all the gnomework and bits and pieces that you do in the background, I for one appreciate it and notice it, but you are so wery umble.

@SimonTrew:, here is what I wrote, with the stuff above and below (perhaps I had put it in the middle and you didn't notice:
Extended content
Well I just bash em in and see what comes up, since Wikipedia's search engine was famously rubbish, but it has got a bit better over the years. I tend to go via Special:Search and do it so you get the full title and not just articles that start with those, but for the ones above, I just bashed em in and see what I got. But on the other hand I kinda do it out of woodware so to know that Queensland and Northern Territories Air Service is a redirect to Qantas, for example.

What, checking stuff? That is not the Wikipedian way, surely, we don't have to be
ubermench territory in Australia that they are keeping hidden from us... Queensland, Northern Territories and shh that other one (don't mention it) would be a great name for an airline. Si Trew (talk) 07:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply

Surely, "only to show", we can't be doing with split infinitives. :) What should we do with these then? Si Trew (talk) 06:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is exactly what I am wondering, but, like I said, I would like to consider some options, unlike the Qantas.xx redirects, they have a target that seems somewhat appropriate. -

I sincerely apologise. I didn't even know that you were Australian and still don't know if you are or not. It was australian singers who dod a parody of "Advance Australia Fair" on Ned Sherrin's Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 4, deliberately cocking up or mishearing all the words. I did not meen to offend you, or any Australian, just that it was just well done as a parody of a song, and should be included in the Innes Book of Records. I am sincerley sorry that I offended you, that is the last thing I should want to do. Si Trew (talk) 08:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

nO, I don't read other people's user talk pages. I just take people as I find them. Now, you can accept my apology or you can do another thing which ends in "off". The discussions about Google language redirects should be at the RfD for google language redirects, not at your talk page. Si Trew (talk) 08:52, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary break

I have already said I do not wish to nominate the Google.xx redirects yet, that's why I have not discussed them there. -

Regional Airline listings.

Hi,

I've asked a few questions by starting a discussion at here. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. 124.170.169.182 (talk) 08:05, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to have a go at this Champ, but have two kjob interviews so a bit busy. But I will have a go and offer it for your consideration. Are we doing small aircraft or small airlines cos I can think of Beechcraft and so on for small aircraft, but I think you want small airlines, not aircraft. Si Trew (talk) 16:37, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@SimonTrew:Do you know which type of aircraft you fly on, see regional airline. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 01:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I usually do, in case I happen to fall down in the water and need to find the emergency exits. I had the great pleasure, actually, of being on a little beechcraft from Ontario to New York City and we flew all over the centre/center of the city before putting down at some tiny airport in
mites. Si Trew (talk) 01:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
I am not really that interested in small aircraft like these, my last flight was a short hop from Sydney to
A380, I was disappointed because the return journey was on at 747, which was incomparable. (Do people even notice? I guess not.) - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 01:51, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
Yeah, the A380 is bloody enormous, its codename in development was the Beluga but I am not sure that stuck, but that was pretty much British built, at Filton. The runway there is about two miles long and you can fly pretty much anything out of there, it is far bigger than Bristol Airport which is tiny, and there have been rumours and so on to make it a civil airport, but it will never happen when it is owned by BAE Systems and leased to Airbus and there are a few other bits and pieces that are less well known... Concorde had its maiden flight from there and the Concorde simulator is amazing it is basically a toy plane on a wire, fantastic technology.
I lived for many years in Cambridgeshire which was essentially an airport during World War II because it is nice and flat well Cambridgeshire essentially is like a billiard table. I actually lived at West Wratting which is about the highest point in Cambridgeshire and Wratting Common] had a fleet of Lancastars (438 Squadron I think) they are big buggers... so the ex staff of the Royal Air Force met pretty regularly there in this tiny village nobody has heard of.

So you lost the 1234! That saves me typing it. The new name suits you better. Si Trew (talk) 04:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
