Out of curiousity, what reference are you using on [[List of military aircraft of the United States]]? [[User:McNeight|McNeight]] 04:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
== Florida State Roads ==
Welcome aboard, Aerobird, and thank you for your interest in Florida State Roads. [[User: SPUI|SPUI]] started it and drops by from time to time, and I've been busy with a lot of red link reduction; so we most certainly could use the assistance, especially if you're in an area of Florida that is less familiar to us (I'm a resident of Miami, he of Orlando). If there are any questions, or if there is a way that I can be of assistance, please let me know. Good luck! [[User:B.Wind|B.Wind]] 04:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
== Tallahassee ==
Since you are a member of WikiProject Florida, could you please help review and improve the article for [[Tallahassee, Florida]]? I posted the request for expansion and I feel that this article is a little short for a capital city article. Thanks, [[User:Krashlandon|Krashlandon]] [[WP:EA|<font color="green">(e)</font>]] 13:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== Re: ''[[Talk:StarMetro|StarMetro]]: What's in a name?'' ==
They don't have the taltran logo anymore, their pictures are just old. Most of the buses are completely blank now, and a few have the StarMetro logo. But I agree, changing the name was the last thing they needed to do. Why don't they spend their money on things other than paint?

== Copyright of Crimson-collared Grosbeak picture ==
Hi. I was glad to see the picture that you put at [[Crimson-collared Grosbeak]], but I don't think we're allowed to use it. [[Wikipedia:Image_use_policy]] says, "Licenses which restrict the use of the media to non-profit or educational purposes only, or are given permission to ''only'' appear on Wikipedia, are not free enough for Wikipedia's usages or goals and will be deleted." So unfortunately, I'm going to put a "deletethis" template on the image page and remove it from the article. I hope this doesn't discourage you from contributing pictures, but you do have to be very careful about licenses. —[[User:JerryFriedman|JerryFriedman]] 22:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
==[[State Road 14 Truck (Florida)|State Road 14 Truck]]==
Is this actually signed in both directions? Or is it only signed northbound, like a "TO 14"? --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] ([[User talk:SPUI|talk]] - <small>[[User:SPUI/SFD|don't use sorted stub templates!]]</small>) 18:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
*There's a "TRUCK 14" reassurance shield southbound on 53 (with no 53 shield...) at the 53/14 intersection. - [[User:Aerobird|Aerobird]] 03:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
==Scrub jays==
Hi Aerobird - the unhyphenated forms are correct; [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds]] follows international usage from ''[[Handbook of the Birds of the World]]'', which does not hyphenate them. - [[User:MPF|MPF]] 10:10, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
:Not even an American-European difference! - it's a difference between one or two ivory-tower scientists with no training in English grammar (primarily [[Charles Sibley]], who had a lot of influence over the AOU) and the rest of everyone else; older US field guides and US dictionaries don't hyphenate bird names like that either (when hyphenated, not with a capital following a hyphen, which is generally regarded as a grammatic no-no!). - [[User:MPF|MPF]] 16:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
::Glad you like the Ubox! ;-) Looking at the Sibley article, it seems he was very forceful in pushing his ideas - if he hadn't had this peculiar caps idea, we'd probably all be using "Florida Scrub-jay" (lower-case 'j') without worry! - [[User:MPF|MPF]] 17:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
==[[List of Florida birds]]==
Hi Aerobird, great job on the Florida bird list. It looks very familiar :). (I created [[List of Oklahoma birds]]). If we can get family descriptions written for the rest of the families, it would probably be ready for featured list status. [[User:Dsmdgold|Dsmdgold]] 01:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:I wrote the family descriptions by adapting the opening paragraph from each family's WP article. I wrote them because some of the commentors wanted them when I nominated the list for featured status. I am currently stuffing pictures into the [[List of Kansas birds]]. When I get done, probably by the end of the week, I'm going to nominate for featured list. It would be cool to have two bird lists nominated at the same time. [[User:Dsmdgold|Dsmdgold]] 02:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I thought you might like to know that I nominated [[List of Florida birds]] for featured list status. (discussion [[Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Florida birds|here]]) The initial response has been positive. [[User:Dsmdgold|Dsmdgold]] 16:04, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
== edits to [[Albatross]] ==
I'm not sure if the edits you made to the introduction of the albatross page were strictly needed. That they turn up as vagrants in the N Atlantic is noted further on in the text - but it so unusual as to fall in the two-percent rule (a rule of thumb used in the field station I worked at that said you could disregard a great deal if it only happened less than 2% of the time. You still recorded it, but you didn't worry unduly about it). Given as how there is probably not one definitve statement in biology that you couldn't qualify with ''of course not all things obey this rule'', I wrote the introduction in terms of sweeping and generaly accurate generalisations, drawing attention to the less common exceptions in the main body of the text. The number of vagrant albatross in the North Atlantic is tiny, as far as I can tell, not more than two or three birds that do endless circles. Saying they are absent from the North Atlantic is no more incorrect that saying Long-billed Murrelets are marine birds from Asia (which have turned up as far away as Ohio and Switzerland. And, for clarity, it is also worth noting that not only are they not resident, they aren't passage migrants, breeding migrants or irruptive in the North Atlantic either. Much easier to say that they are absent, no? [[User:Sabine's Sunbird|Sabine's Sunbird]] 18:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
*In that case I hope they will read the rest of the article and go "Wow, one tried to breed in Scotland". You can't fit everything into the intro. Incidentally, since you're a birder, have you been to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds]]. We like birdy enthusiasts there, and there is plenty to do! [[User:Sabine's Sunbird|Sabine's Sunbird]] 18:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
:: And incidentally, while I would agree that the world would be a better place if Bernie, um, retired, why would you want Schumie to? Didn't it do your heart good to see the man lose last season? The best kind of master quits while he's ahead. The way he's going (and I say this acknowledging he is one of the greats) we get to see hime beaten many more times. :) [[User:Sabine's Sunbird|Sabine's Sunbird]] 20:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
==Miccosukee==
Aerobird, when you get the chance, check out [[Miccosukee, Florida]] as I've added the railroad that once ran through that community (I saw you were a railfan). Also check out [[Bradfordville, Florida|Bradfordville]] as I've added an old photo. --(Chuck) [[User:Noles1984|Noles1984]] 14:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== Florida State Roads - tagged articles ==
You're absolutely right, Aerobird - I should have posted <nowiki>{{expand}}</nowiki> tags (redundant or not) on most of those that now have the <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> - and I apologize if that caught you off guard. I was hoping to try to get us a little help in expanding these one- and two-sentence stubs (actually, you and I have pretty similar styles - I've had to check a couple of articles' histories to see who wrote them in the first place!). It seems that once or twice a year a FSR article gets nominated for AfD, and the last two times we eked by with a "no consensus." I'll help expand wherever I can (as well as try to attain my goal of all blue links for State Roads numbered above 699 by June), and I'll have more of an opportunity once the college academic year ends (which, at my place of employment, is the last weekend in April).
